So I am about done with daily driving my RWD HD F150 in the snowbelt. My plan was to wait for the new F150 to come out and get that. The only problem is that I'm finding it hard to justify spending $45000 on a new truck. Even a bare bones, extended cab, 4X4 is well into the 30's. The other option would be to buy a used, 4-cylinder Tacoma/Colorado and then I could use the money saved to build the Factory Five Roadster I've been dreaming about the last 5+ years. I have access to a couple Superduties through my dad if I ever needed a bigger truck for something. I just started a new job ~40 miles from home, so the added MPG's would be a plus. I've heard guys with 5-speed Tacoma's are getting upper 20's on the freeway even though the EPA rating is 21, and the new Eco-boosts seem to be rated optimistically. I know it is ultimately my decision, so I guess I'm just wondering if the Tacoma guys are full of it, or they are really that good on gas.
