YACT: Which of these small pickups would you choose?

I'm not anti-domestic.
It's just that my 93 Toy 4x4 V6 Ext. Cab 5-spd. has been an awesome little truck these last 121k+ miles. Only gets driven about 2-3 times a month these days, but it still cranks up and runs great everytime.

And no way would I sell it for less than $5k.

Why? That's the point of this thread, WHY is it better? The Ford V6 is basically a 5.4 liter with 2 cylinders chopped off. What's wrong with it?

Considering that quixfire is a Ford fanboi as much as I am a Nissan one and he asserts the same I feel thoroughly vindicated :heart:

Don't forget that there is more to a vehicle than the engine. Even if that Ford engine is a good one the rest of it is still a ford

I said mileage, not quality.

The Ford 4.0l V6 is a nice engine, I would actually go with an S10 Chevy 4.3l V6 because parts would be slightly more common...

Don't know about that. Is't this the same engine that the V6 Explorer uses? There's litterally millions of those things running around.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in post, I was referring to all the parts, body, interior, aftermarket, etc, not necessarily the engine.

I've owned 3 Rangers, 2.4l, 3.0l X2. Currently own a stripper F150 with a 4.2 V6, I don't use my trucks for a lot of heavy hauling, pretty light to medium loads, more of a second car/run to Home Depot vehicle...

and that's exactly why the Tacos aren't on my list. i can't afford them. and i dunno if they're that much better than the competition.
