The Tacoma has a composite bed, so it's even lighter. And then the Tacoma has a better power-to-weight ratio. 236 HP / 264 ft-lbs out of that 4.0L V6 and 3,910 lbs. Compared to 175 HP / 265 ft-lbs out of that 5.0L V8 and 4,567 lbs.
No snow where I live so I didn't even think about that. Nice truck! I like the pictures, congrats.

Really enjoying my new truck. Was able to turn into my driveway in one turn for the first time ever! The Tacoma has about half the turning radius of the Chevy.

Wish mine had the paint matched front bumper, but the flat black is fine cause it doesnt really show chips.

Interesting site my brother linked me to:
http://www.fuelly.com/

Tracks mileage and fuel efficiency. Calculates annual fuel use reports and lets you keep maintenance notes. Even lets you update from your cell phone via text. None of it is private, so it's a good way to get a feel for averages on most popular vehicles. And yes, they have a motorcycle side.
