congrats on your purchase. i personally really liked the Taco, but their prices forced me to do some market research and look around. one bombing run through some country curves and the memory of my subaru WRX flashed before my eyes (the palm of my hand twitches on the top of the shifter as if it's trying to find the 6 speed manual from that glorious Rex). At that point I was sold. I don't think you made a bad choice, either the Ranger or the Taco is gonna treat you well.Ok to give update i ended up buying the tacoma because whether or not fuel in oil was only.affecting a small batch that was too much to.overcome. the frame.rot on toyota.they solved this by spraying.the undercarriage from factory. I just got mine ziebarted so i.should be fine
that said.... you're gonna wanna pay very special attention to that ziebart underspray. last i checked, they were still using rubberized undercoatings. those seem great, but as soon as one bit of it becomes compromised the water actually gets trapped in and the corrosion only has one direction to chew (through your frame). so long as they do a good job, you'll be set. but if they're just spraying that undercoat on like a 5 year old trying to hold on to a firehose they're gonna coat parts that shouldn't be covered and there's gonna be other problems.
this is a good vid on it:
keep an eye on it!
