mdemko Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Looks like Toyota wants in on the performance offroad market. $40k and it's still better than a raptor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirForce116 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Raptor is bigger and better then that hunk of junk. Raptor can carry more things and probably finish a offroad race faster then that Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdemko Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Bigger doesn't always mean better. The Baja Tacoma will out handle the raptor. The only thing the raptor has going for it is a V8. Plus the taco is $10k cheaper for the same thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rexinator Brister Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Any way you look at it, dumbasses who don't know how to off-road will buy them, break them, and complain about because they don't have a clue on auto maintainence.

AirForce116 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 If I were to buy one I would buy the Tacoma just because the Raptor would take more gas then the Tacoma because the Raptor is a bigger truck then the Toyota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriotic Canadian Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ITT: It's not american so it's wrong Personally i think the tacoma isn't visually different enough from the bog standard one to the average person. Call it vain, but the raptor has the different grille, the stupidly flared arches and the massivly different hood along with the different stature, wheras the tacoma outwardly could be spoofed by some maniac with, oh a vinyl printer and a bit of an ego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlawed Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 for this thread? yes that is true, Ford atleast made an attempt to engineer a proper, road legal offroad truck and even Dodge offers a proper one (albeit almost as a after market request) just because those are selling well toyota is gonna slap some crappy tires and a big side sticker and cash in? lame.

mdemko Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I lol at all you guys who claim to be off road racing fans or "truck guys". oh cool, BF all terrain tires and some ugly stickers, yawnnnn (towards the toygarbota) Also a mid-travel front and rear suspension using bilstein remote reservoir shocks with eIbach coils. Plus the raptor has one of those retarded automatic rear lockers. The taco has an electronic selectable locker. And the stickers look just as bad as the raptors. What y'all are forgetting about the raptor is its size and weight. Ford F*cked up with the sheet metal fenders. This taco is a smaller version of the raptor that DOESN'T take up 6 lanes on the road. If anything, the taco will handle better because of the bilstein shocks. And I garuntee that the taco will need less maintainence in its life time than the raptor. The ram runner as described by motor trend is a Frankensteined piece of sh*t that will fall apart as soon as it hits the dirt. Only thing going for it is the link rear suspension. GM doesn't even have a performance offroad truck. Ford went to there special vehicle team and asked the to design the suspension... Toyota went to Camburg Engineering. What I would like to see are 2wd versions of the trucks. Now that would make things interesting. And any of y'all who would like to argue about 2wd and offloading can suck a bag of dicks. Could still build a truck better than either of them... For a hell of alot cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
