Which Light Truck would you Rather Drive

[MyBaddBrah]

Light truck = towing capacity under 5,000 lbs. These tow from 3,500 - 5,000 lbs.

Both can last 300k - 400k miles. Both can be had for the same price (low 30's).

I only see one truck??

[samsbolton]

Quit lyft to do parcel delivery eh op?

[KingOmar9]

Only one truck there brah.

The 1st is not a truck dumbass!

[jamalfudge]

A Honda Pilot is more of a truck than the 1st option...

[RICHSTRONG]

I must need new glasses. I don't see a truck at all...

[MyBaddBrah]

They both generally serve the same purpose. Towing capacity, cargo capacity. Yes, an SUV is technically not a truck. But the Tacoma is also a quasi-truck with 5,000 lbs towing capability. That's why they're truck-lites.

The Lexus is a classier, more luxurious ride without the tradie stigma.
The Toyota is slightly more rugged and sits a tiny bit higher. Still not a real truck though.

Which would you choose?

[sr7914]

Taco TRD Pro V6 with a manual transmission if you're going with a Yota. Towing capacity is 6,400 lbs.

Or get the "My wife wanted a minivan and this what we compromised on" douche mobile which is also a Yota, but of the ghey variant and not really a truck.

Choose wisely.

suv = truck?

How is this a question.

Impressive mental gymnastics to try and cope your way around buying a soccer mom crossover

[KingOmar9]

If you're gonna pay that kind of money for a "light truck" you're better off paying a few 1000 more and getting a 1/4 ton instead.

They're around $8-10k more.. Plus gas if you don't really need to tow anything of that magnitude. Could use that money for a better 2nd car.

[leoslayer1]

Only one truck there.

The Tacoma is a great vehicle. Very good looking and last forever.

But honestly there isn't much advantage to getting a Light Truck over a 1/2 ton.

They get about the same gas mileage.

[300Lane1]

Only 1 truck and you aren't getting 400k out of either.

Lyft driver plz...

-You're an idiot.
- The tacoma is the best light duty truck on the market.
- They don't serve even close to the same purpose.
- Tacoma towing isn't 5K.
- A light truck is defined by vehicle weight and payload capacity, not towing.


The tacoma has like 30" longer wheelbase and can tow nearly twice as much (3.5k vs. 6.4-6.8K depending on tacoma package). Not to mention you can't fit nearly as much **** in the back of an SUV as you can in the back of a truck, even with a small bed.


Literally everything you've said is just wrong.

I listed a range. You pointed to the top end of the Toyota's range, which a lot of people aren't using in a light truck. You also ignored the top end of the Lexus' range (better looks, tech, exclusivity, and non-tradie stigma). They're in the towing class I listed, 3500-5500 towing capacity. People can vote on what they'd rather drive. There's tradeoffs, it isn't a towing dink measuring competition.

This. I didn't even know lexus made a truck.

OP is prob trying to cope and classify his four wheel drive mini van aka SUV as a truck.

I remember when the Colorado first came out. I looked at the sticker price and it was 1000.00 more than a base F150 w/ bigger engine/better towing/hauling capacity etc. . THe gas mileage was only 1mpg better. I just Lol'd right the fuk out of there like "C'mon man"

I'll never understand why people get those smaller trucks. They cost the same, get the same mileage, are worse at literally everything except parking in small spaces and have less room. Just why???

I bought this to haul blankets last month..

New tacomas with the tow package can tow up to 6800, though i'd venture to guess most wouldn't feel comfortable towing over 5k

I would choose the Tacoma. less flashy, better resale, more capability

that being said, your Lyft drivers will appreciate the creature comforts of the Lexus

Why do people buy trucks when they do not use the back section?
