The problem is i need something with enough *** to haul my other car on a trailer to the track, and tools (kinda heavy, not exactly what one would call u fully stripped sprint car). But crvs are great vehicles my family has 2, and we just sold the third. I also want something with a bed, and toyota trucks are pretty pricey. And yes it does have 4wd. And as far as my outdoor life goes, everyday that i have off work im somewhere in the woods, and my yaris doesnt like the roads on the way there.

well, what i have learned from forums chat - and i appreciate you actually read and listened - is that most times, questions like this are already decided, and you are just quenching the tiny voice of conscience, or looking for some "you see what others say" bs for wife. most of those decisions are based on "makes my d... harder" rational, and for some folks, it's impossible to beat.

either vehicle will tow and tow a lot. i have buddy who bought 4runner (auction, of course, we do not buy new) and tows hack of a boat with no problems.
how much truck bed do you need and how often? you can tow a decent size trailer with dirt box or something else on it. or, for money you'll save on repairs, rent a truck. i, personally, started with Ranger. we still have it, but can not drive it for long runs, as it's regular cab and knees hurt in it in about half an hour drive. but we have horse acre, so we had to have something to haul dirt, manure, etc.
i still have that Ranger, as a spare. but i am next to selling my silvie, as 1. it is money pit 2. i use it for major hauls maybe 6 times a year 3. it keeps falling apart. last few weeks i was under probably every weekend.
so, i am looking for extended cab new gen Tacoma. my 6'5'' fits in very comfortably, for my hauls it'll do, or i'll just buy a trailer or can always rent one. but i know for darn sure - i'll be not living under that truck.
honestly - every time we bought a domestic, it was a disaster. we are frugal family, we work for living, we value our $$. and as i am sitting here typing it, i shall witness - in 2 yrs of ownership, i had more repairs done on this truck, than on 6 imports we owned or own combined. period. no matter what others will tell me - it is the last domestic i ever bought. Ranger is one hack of a reliable car, but IT IS MAZDA, that's why.

so, good luck. i wouldn't unless, you just like that hobby, called "treeshade mechaniching". or you got lots of easy money and feel like making shops richer.

For the miles it has its good price i guess. I have a single cab 5.3 motor and i have k&n filter and spacer. I get good mileage on my truck i think for the gas being 2.36 over here. GMC CHEVY BOTH GOOD TRUCKS FOR TOWING AND RACING LOL, I USE MINE FOR RACING.

you will not keep great gas mileage with the truck, and for 11,5 I personally think that is a little too much, if you can post some Pics of the truck, then we will be able to help you out from there....
