Let's ask him. He skulks about now and then. Least he could do is post up a pic ... you know ... unless it's a Kia.
 
It just so happens I was getting ready to do a write up for you guys and dispel all the F'in myths about the 3rd gen Tacoma. I have put 4K miles on it in the first month (whew) and did everything in it except hard core off road. I want to be detailed and give you guys all the pros and cons. Maybe I should do a SWOT analysis lol (and 100 internet points to whoever knows what a SWOT analysis is). Anyway, look for a 5th Gen 4Runner versus a 3rd Gen Tacoma - what should I buy and why should I buy it - kind of article.

Anyway, I have taken a vacation from here. I did answer all the pm's (hoped it helped you guys). I am going to come back on a limited basis. I am still a mod so I will try to keep it copacetic in this forum. I WILL NOT be posting much. I will not get into the BS like I used to do, but I will moderate some if needed.

So there you go. Sabbatical ended.

How do you feel about the power in comparison to your 5th gen? I was 99.9% set on a new Tacoma until I drove one and it just felt like a dog. While I understand the power numbers are similar to 4Runner, the power band feels better to me down low on the 4Runner. I haven't looked at any charts to back up this feeling, but that was my input based on some test drives.

In hindsight, I was also driving a 6.7 F250 with 400 hp and 800 lb torque, (stock numbers) at the time, so obviously that didn't help.

Either way, that was my biggest gripe. Maybe it would have changed with some more time behind the wheel.
