Toyata Tacoma

Toyota pickups were widely visible during CNN coverage of the middle east as the vehicle of choice in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Indeed you find these almost anywhere in the world where reliability is difficult but critical. My mechanic for years, an expatriate Iranian, says that every mechanic he knows admires, and many own, the Toyota 4 cylinder trucks for their durability and reliability.The all-new 2005 Tacoma is ready for any road -- or no road at all. An available 245-hp V6 pummels its way through a 6-speed manual transmission. Throw yourself inside and you'll find the roomiest Tacoma we've ever made, sitting on top of the stiffest chassis we've ever forged. And if that wasn't enough, there are 18 different Tacomas -- from the mad dog X-Runner to the Double Cab Long Bed. The all-new Tacoma is here: the road isn't calling. It's groveling.
