I own a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner with extended cab and V-6. I have had absolutely zero problems with this truck and would highly reccomend a used one. Try and get a certified used one if you can. Turning this truck is not a problem. It has the power of a small V-8 and gets a lot better gas mileage.

The only problem with Ford Rangers are transmissions. My best friend has owned 3 rangers. The last 2 have given mucho automatic transmission problems. The standard shift ones seem to be ok.
