Need a new cage.

So yeah, the mustang just isn't doing it for many anymore. Besides the 150k+ motor starting to fade the car itself just doesn't do anything for me like it use to. Performance, mpg, plus fun factor are all raped by the bike. So I'm thinking about getting my first truck. Granted I DO NOT want a full size pick up but perhaps something small with decent mpg that looks nice and I could use to pull small things such as my bike. I'm thinking about the Toyota Tacoma X-Runner. It looks good, performance and gas mileage to match/beat the mustang and has enough power to pull my bike anywhere I need to go. Any thoughts or suggestions?

one of my best friends had a fuck'n MINT red and black El Camino in HS... had a 454 in it...

his dad was a mechanic... one of the sickest cars I've ever seen

looked almost exactly like this... cept red with black stripes

my neighbors camino looks TWICE as good as that. Murdered out black/pewter rims, same trim, aftermarket leather seats, HIDs... tons of crazy shit. hes also got an old stingray. He likes to do car shows and shit.

el co's kickass, but either they're gonna be too expensive, or you're gonna have to build it up alil.

my buddy just bought a xrunner, loves it. said it handles great, doesnt feel like a cadillac, that floating feeling that most trucks have.

Dlit has a Taco... prerunner I think...

the Xrunners are bad ass... the TRD one is fuck'n AWESOME... 400+hp

I'd personally be buying something like a little early 90's tacoma myself.

although my preference goes to the 93 Ford Superduty Diesel with a 5 spd and the old IDI 7.3, but I'm a big truck guy, so yeah. now I'm just dreaming there, although I drove(and totalled) one of those once. WHAT A FUCKING BEAST. if you think a 400HP gas engine is badass, this thing would have annihilated it in torque.
