I now drive a Tacoma.... it is my second Tacoma and third Toyota Truck..... plain and simple, they rule! (As far as pick-ups go, at least)
Of course, I wouldn't ever consider "dropping" a truck, it's a truck. If anybody is curious, you cna check out my Taco here....

Good luck Paul, but trust me, get a 4X4 V6, lift it, supercharge it, and you'll be thrilled. I haven't S/C'd mine yet, but I have been in a few S/C'd Tacos, and they are very fast! And the best part? It is a TRD supercharger, fully covered under Toyota's warranty!
