We do not see Tacomas around here. I think I have seen one. Only one.
If a small home service business like Pest Control or HVAC were to show up in a Tacoma at a lot of homes here, they would likely be told to leave.
"If it aint designed and made here, it aint welcome here."
Not saying I agree, that is just how it is. Tacoma is not welcome here.

And yet many RAM trucks such as his are made in Mexico and the profits go to France.
The 2013 Tundra does about 11-13 MPG in the city, and a little better than that on the highway. But with its 7.5L engine it is a beast if you use it for heavy towing. My neighbor tows an enormous ocean boat with it. Tundra's are very popular in the interior of Alaska. Well we have all kinds of trucks around here.
I also have a 2013 Tundra. I can get 17 mpg, but that's driving only 55 mph on flat terrain.
My buddy had an early one that puked the turbos with less than 18K miles on it. Yeah, Ford fixed it under warranty but it was a pile of parts left in the middle of the road that day! 60 yr old guy, bone stock truck, not a kid's modded truck
My friends did the same, got rid of it right away.
Lots of folks still think turbos are the same as they were in the 80’s. Today’s turbo motors are designed to be used with turbos. I saw a video earlier of a 2011 Ford Ecoboost F150 rolling over 500K miles.
Yeah, certainly if I were buying a new car, I wouldn't be concerned at all. If were buying a used vehicle 15-20 years old, I might do some additional due diligence though.

Yes, or just keep the RPM not higher than 1500.
