I might annoy some people with this comment. If I was buying a brand new truck I would buy the tacoma. If I had a $3,000 budget I would buy a 2WD Ranger I also will suggest the best way to purchase a used car/truck. This method is not for everyone but if you are on this site chances are you do some of the work on your vehicle. Find a dealer to work with. If you don't know a dealer you can usually find one CL. Offer the dealer a fee plus or minus $300 depending on your area and go to the auction with them and purchase a truck. Bring it home, tune it up and fix what is wrong. You have a win win the dealer gets some cash for doing nothing and you get a good deal on the truck. This is not for everybody but for us here we can throw some brake pads on tune it up etc
