    I believe Mark drops an F-bomb at one point, but otherwise one of their more family friendly reviews.

    Have been checking the reviews out as a possible oooold Tundra replacement. More research is needed on my end.

    I just watched a review of the new Ford Ranger where the guy talked about how the new one was more masculine versus the feminine hood line of the outgoing model - and that the old hood was meant to be seen over.

    If wanting decent sight lines is feminine, then cast me as Klinger in a reboot of MASH. So damn cringeworthy.

    I am at that point where my give a ****s are really limited in this day and time with all of the "Main characters" around. The last time I had any emotion was over a lost calf.
    Hate to agree with Dylan, , but the times they are a changin....

    I ain't changing fast enough, I guess.:)

    His review of the 3rd gen was great too, If I remember correctly he made a comment about fitting dead hookers in the bed.

    Other than the drivetrain and rear suspension upgrades, I don't like this new truck at all. Like the Tundra, the interior and exterior are over styled and trying too hard.

    Meanwhile, GM nailed it with the Canyon/Colorado. F*ck GM though, 2 months ago they were crying poverty when it came to paying employees, but they suddenly can afford to juice their share price with 10billion worth of stock buybacks. It's definitely the worker's fault that vehicle prices are going up though. /S/

    They are changing, but it seems to be in a direction where the goal is for everything to be angry and aggressive.
    If you took the screen away, I think the Tacoma would look great inside.

    I wouldn’t buy a 4th Gen taco as the 3rd is sub par IMO from the 2nd gen.
    going downhill with cheaper shizzot.

    Well, GM assembles the Canyonado in the US so they are indeed more exposed to labor cost increases. Toyota has an inherent advantage in that segment.

    Man I miss the NUMMI Tacos. Those were really, really tough trucks(with rustproofing).
