I'm looking into getting a 2016 Tacoma. Never had anything but a full size chevy. What do you guys think about the tacoma? I like how they are small and bad *** 4x4s . Just don't know how much ill miss a full size truck.

I had a Tacoma in high school. the pro's were it was light, nimble, had a good amount of power for a small V-6 and with the 5 speed manual it was getting 20 mpg with 31" street tires and 18 mpg highway with 32" tires. cons were it was small. Great truck howerver
this was back when a full size gas V-8 truck in 4x4 would have gotten you 14 mpg or so highway. I had the chance to get a ext. cab Z71 (before crew cabs were invented in a half ton platform) and it was like $3k more
fast forward to today.....my new Z71 tows more, is more roomy, fully capable off road thanks to electronic lockers and gets 18.5 mpg highway with 33" all terrain tires.
I cannot see the reason to spend the money on a Toyota Tacoma when for about the same price you can get a full size 4x4 for just about the same money. you get less truck for the same amount of money and a mile or two per gallon more
