Good point lol.

and you don't have to hack anything up either to install a boost gauge, its a completely reverseable mod
What gauge did you install? When I installed the AEM wideband, It wasn't messy but had to splice...

Thank you kindly for the reply. That's one of the things my wife and I were thinking about - we plan to get into a home in the near future and thought the truck would be great for things around the house. It seems we just might have to work both into the equation.

U Haul will rent you a brand new Ford F150 for $20 bucks a day. That's what I do.

My dad has had a Tacoma since 99 and he loves it. Recently had to have the frame re welded but car is still in great shape. I have used it for moving and what not. I can tell you it hasn't much pick up and you really need to jam your foot down. Also the suspension is VERY hard.

Just some input.

I'm having the same issue between my Evo X and a truck that I can haul my dirt bike in. Decisions. Wish I could have both.
