Buy the fucking Taco. /thread.

Is taco bigger than Montero Sport?

 

[crooks]

Get a full sized truck. The newer trucks turn better then the old ones.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Just looked it up

2003 Montero has 42.8" of legroom
2015 Taco has 41.7

Less is bad....


Headroom 03 monty 38.5
and Taco 40"

More is good!

*Don't know how reliable these measurements are in conveying space. I can tell you steering wheel and the lower kick panel have a huge impact and those are not measured.

for the price of a new colorado with decent options, you can get a pretty nice full size. i am personally leaning this way.

The Taco takes getting used to as far as seating. The truck rides high, but seating feels low, if you know what I mean. PLENTY of room though, even for a guy your size. I'd strongly suggest hitting a few Yota dealers and asking for long test-drives. Certified lots are usually packed with what you're looking for (try my old dealer, Continental. Their lot is the size of Texas.)

I'd uh... Test drive one before putting weight behind that statement. I felt the same, then got into a 'rado. Then I bought it.

Night and fucking day, in every way imaginable from a like-priced full-size. And they handle and turn better than most midsize sedans.

Taco will be far too small. I've said it plenty.

 

[Knowklew]

a full size is significantly larger interior volume wise. if space is an issue i would not buy a small pickup

Correct. They finished a new site with a used lot the size of the whole old dealer when I was on my way out. Fucker be huge, and they should still have some decent sales guys left.
