2008 Toyota Tacoma - Best mid size truck on the market
This Tacoma is the best vehicle I have owned, the truck has an amazing amount of interior room, capable of carrying 5 people COMFORTABLY for long periods of driving. There is plenty of torque to pull my 21' boat without any difficulty or impact on performance. The truck could be redesigned for better gas mileage as I get around 350 miles per tank (17 gallons). It does drive well but has a little bit of a top heavy feeling when turning. The cargo bed is a 5' bed with my option but still is able to easily accommodate our surfboards ranging from 6' to 9' without any issues.

The brakes are the one thing that I would advise Toyota to improve due I the fact that I feel like I have to really depress the brake pedal to stop the truck even with newly replaced pads. Overall I wouldn't recommend any other midsize truck to a friend other than the Tacoma.
Taking the truck off-roading in Palm Bay for the first time I bought it. It is a 2 wheel drive truck with all terrains and I didn't get stuck at all even with other full size 4wd trucks getting stuck. The weight to torque ratio of this truck really helps it to stand out and perform in the tough mud and dirt of the areas I tend to off-road.
