rv toyota tacoma Q&A Review

Would you rather choose a 2015-2017 Toyota Tacoma or a 2015-2016 Chevy Silverado?

“Would you rather choose a 2015-2017 Toyota Tacoma or a 2015-2016 Chevy Silverado?” I use my Tacoma for simple hauling and occasional pulling small utility or RV trailers. I looked at a lot of trucks and the resale of the Tacoma is what sold me. I could not find hardly any used ones in my area. Those that were for sale were very expensive compared to new. So, I bought a new one. Does everything I need and more. -Doug

Why do Americans buy trucks?

My wife has a sedan. I drive a 5 passenger Toyota Tacoma Truck with a fairly powerful V6 engine. Before that I was in a smallish Toyota Corolla with no power. I work in the Port and I drive next to big semi trucks to and from work. I feel a hundred times safer in my truck than I did in my Corolla. Years ago, we decided to try life without a truck. It just didn’t work out. The average American guy and gals too spend a lot of time working on home-improvement projects and such. Try hauling two by fours or dry wall in a Corolla. My truck offers the advantages of a truck with the room of a passenger vehicle and I love it! Lots of Americans own RV trailers or boats and these need big trucks to haul them. Trucks are simply a part of the American fabric and have been as long as we’ve had motorized vehicles.

Why can't I tow my 1999 Toyota Tacoma pick up automatic two-wheel drive?

You can’t tow your Toyota pickup with automatic transmission because the transmission does not have a rear pump to lube the transmission. If you really want to tow the Toyota you will need a Remco pump. Remco pumps can be purchased from almost any RV parts supply. You can tow your Toyota if you start the engine and let it idle in neutral as you tow. By doing this the transmission will lube itself.

With pickup trucks being able to tow 35,000 or so pounds now, with the exception of enormous loads, why don't trucking companies move away from 18 wheelers?

The 2019 Ford F-150 is a great example of this: It can tow anywhere from 5,000 to 13,200 pounds, depending on how it’s configured. Toyota Tacoma: Max tow rating: 6,800 pounds Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Max tow rating: 12,200 pounds Ram 1500 Max tow rating: 12,750 pounds Volvo VNR400 with D11 engine 80,000 lbs Volvo VNX400 with D13 engine 120,000 + lbs , depending on transmission. Stock Pickup trucks have nowhere near the towing capacity of Stock semi Cabs. From a safety perspective, most transportation regulations don’t assume modifications increase towing capacity. Besides , pickup trucks are not even close. One last thing. 5th wheels are safer than receiver hitches. and diesels have Jacobs brakes. So I can tow my rv trailer with a vnr400 (and I do) but I Can’t pull a super b double with anything listed here, except the vnx.

What is your favorite car and why?

Ford Explorer. Small enough to be nimble and relatively economical (especially compared to my F350 dually pickup truck) . Able to travel some somewhat rough roads (unlike my Thunderbird or my Fiat 850 sport) and in snow, and carry a lot of things (I’ve moved refrigerators, etc. in it). .It keeps the cargo dry in case of rain.But, an open top cargo area IS handy, and the enclosed cargo is much more limited in height and width of cargo compared to a pickup. I had a small pickup (Jeep Comanche) which was pretty flexible that way, but I hated the driving position of the non-adjustable wheel - it wasn’t comfortable for me, and I didn’t adjust to it like I thought I would. My Plymouth Duster was okay… but I got the 318 instead of the big engine (340)… and I hated the color (Fawn Gold… or baby poop brown, whichever you like to call it); but it was what was on the lot, the price was very right, and it had everything else I wanted. But when I left Hawaii, it wasn’t economic to ship it… and with a new family, my needs in a vehicle had changed. Instead got a nice Dodge cargo van we used for travelling cross-country in; put a futon in the back, and it made a pretty decent RV. And it carried a LOT of stuff. Way more than my future Ford Explorer. But it was very awkward to park. And the manual shifter was on the floor, behind the engine housing, back near the rear of the seat, which was awkward, but not insurmountable. The worst of it was that it was two wheel drive, and very light in the rear if not carrying cargo, which was a real problem driving in the winter in Michigan… so it went away a couple of years after we moved there. Of the vehicles I’ve owned in my life, the Ford Explorer was the best all-around vehicle for a suburban home owner who had a need for occasional four wheel drive (off-road and/or snow), haul a goodly amount of stuff (bags of mulch/fertilizer, groceries, people, etc., protected from weather, in a vehicle that was small enough to be somewhat nimble. I’m thinking another Explorer might be my next vehicle. That or a comfortable pickup truck like a Ford F150 or Toyota Tacoma… or maybe a Tundra. If I don’t get one of the new Teslas (for which I am NOT on the waiting list).

What pickup truck is king in 2019?

I am a true fan of the Ford F series of trucks, more specifically the F—150 SuperCrew pick up.. Since I am no longer working, it is a great “daily driver” as well as a good work horse of a truck, when needed. I admit that sometimes the short bed is a pain, but knowing how to load and secure about any load, that the vehicle will carry, helps a lot. I do like the Ram 1500 series and the Ram 3500 series trucks as well. It’s durable and it’s refined looks, has caught my eyes lately. Especially since I have used a 5500 series when I was still working in the Towing Industry. The difference between the Ford F-150 and the Ram is the ride, in my opinion. I did not like the stiffness of the Ram suspension system, and the F-150, F250, F350 and the 550 Super Duty trucks seem to me like night and day; with the Ford units being more pliable and providing the better ride over-all (even under a load). I am not a fan of the Chevy or GMC trucks, however I have friends who swear by them. I think it is due to my 30 plus years in trucking, and having to tow more Chevys and GMC units than I have had to tow the Ram or the Ford units, due to electrical problems and lack of ability to consistently handle large and heavy loads, over a long regular basis. I am sure these GMC’s and Chevy’s are reliable units, when used for industrial applications and occasional use as a hauling type vehicle; but in my experience they do not last when used under constant load applications. Now, I also have friends who own the Nissan and the Toyota (Tacoma being the most popular with my friends), have come a long way of the 90’s and early 2000’s. I have one particular friend who uses his Tacoma to haul light to medium loads on a regular basis, as well as tows a RV Trailer regularly. He says it rides like a car, most of the time and he has not experienced any significant breakdowns with the vehicle. As far as the Nissan, I do not have enough experience with these vehicles, other than towing them to the dealerships for repairs, from time to time. I would say that I have towed them for break downs, about as much as I have the Ram units; which is nominally citable with both of the truck makes and models noted. I will say that I drive very conservatively, with my Ford Truck. I dont race the motor, I dont brake hard at stops and I keep up with maintenance on the vehicle. I seem to get better fuel mileage out of my F-150, than the Ram 1500. I get about the same as the Tacoma, and again I don’t have much direct experience with the Nissan units to comment on them. As far as the durability of the bed, or cargo area’s, I would say that Chevy and Ram has the far superior beds when compared to the Ford units, unless they recently upgraded the Ford units that I am not aware of. In my experiences, The Ford trucks have a thinner bed shell and is easily punctured and damaged as compared to the Chevy or the Ram Units. I have seen less damage from loading of the Chevy and Ram bed linings, than I have experienced and witnessed in the Ford Units. Note: Now, I do like the Chevy Lines of vehicles, both the Pick ups and their vehicles and when I stated that I was not a fan of these vehicles, I was referring only to the pickup truck units. These days the “Daily Driver” cars and sedans of most automakers, especially the Chevy and the Dodge are okay, and all pretty much resemble each other, so differentiations between them, come down to personal preferences (in my opinion). I hope this helps and is informative for you, enough so that it helps with your considerations between the different Pickup models and makes. Again, this is based on my personal and professional use, and preferences between these vehicles, of which I have cited here.

What is the most reliable pickup truck for the last 10 years?

Toyota Hilux/Tacoma These Toyota trucks are popular with terrorists — here's why No, Toyota is not supplying ISIS with Pickup Trucks [quote] Hiluxes also stand up to more than just normal vehicular wear and tear. ,In 2006, British TV show "Top Gear" conducted an experiment that illustrated this. "The show's producers bought an 18-year-old Hilux diesel with 190,000 miles on the odometer for $1,500," Somaiya wrote for Newsweek. "They then crashed it into a tree, submerged it in the ocean for five hours, dropped it from about 10 feet, tried to crush it under an RV, drove it through a portable building, hit it with a wrecking ball, and set it on fire. "Finally, they placed it on top of a 240-foot tower block that was then destroyed in a controlled demolition. When they dug it out of the rubble, all it took to get it running again was hammers, wrenches, and WD-40. They didn't even need spare parts." [/quote]
