You should see the truck commercials in Texas. They’re obnoxious! One has some country singer who sings some song about being desperate for a ride somewhere - but he won’t hitchhike in anything but a Ford truck. I will never, ever, ever consider a truck (wasting gas to drive air around), but least of all a Ford because of their imperial hubris.

I’m curious to see the commercials for the new 2005 Tacoma’s.. (redesigned from the ground up for 2k5, AFAIK). A friend of mine picked his up yesterday.. first in our area (probably the state too.)

It’s a SLICK ride..

I want ‘Like a Rock’ back. I’ll buy anything that uses Bob Seger for it’s jingle. Put ‘Roll me away’ in a Honda scooter commercial and I’d swear off Harleys forever and buy a new scooter for the entire family. I’m a sucker for the jingle.

Dan,

You’re a jerk. My uh… “winter rat” (cough, daily driver) is now a 1996 Ford Taurus. God I’d give my car away in a second to get back behind the wheel of a truck. Even your truck. Give it to me.

Im a big truck fan, there is just something about all that power that gets me going. But honestly does every company need to stick there truck in the same comercial and put them leading the pack give me a break. Put some thought into it for god sake. I agree with Eric those GMC comercials showing the quad steering are great thats what gets me going on wanting to buy a truck.

Eric this is for you 1988 F150 short box, reg cab, 351 5.8L Windsor Engine with beefy tires… Oh thats my winter rat baby-

The truck industry’s a bit… I dunno… stagnant. I should know, as I’m trying to shop for a compact pickup for my dad, but I’m having a hard time finding a decent one, even amongst all the new kids. I’ve sat in an ‘05 Dodge Dakota the interior is made with the cheapest vinyl crap they could possibly find. And this really shocked me – they don’t offer 4-wheel disc brakes. Holy cow, weren’t drum brakes friggin’ banned from the face of the earth like 5 years ago?

I’ve seen pictures of the 2005 Frontier, and it looks terrible, and the interior is virtually unchanged from the cheap stuff Nissan’s using in the current Frontier. And don’t even get me started on the Colorado/Canyon twins cheap, low on spec, and really ugly.

The only hope is the new Tacoma, which I haven’t been able to get my hands on, since the dealer first said mid-October, and now early November. It looks very promising, but bloody expensive for a [small] truck.
