      If your listing two full sized Americans why not list a Full size in the Japanese? If you seem to want a full size one. For one thing sounds like you might want a full Crew cab. And certainly the Tacoma's rear room is not much. Nor is really the room of any supercab for comfortable riding. So I say the Ford Supercrew. Thats the best choice of those three. Not really knowing all your needs that is...

          hey! well all i need is room to put my dirt bike in the back. i want some seats behind me so that if i need to carry around people then i can. plus i am definitely going to put a box behind my seat with two 12's in it so i will need room for that. i think the tacoma might be to small.

            I would definatly go for the dodge, go for the 8 cyl one though . The toyota is a decent truck, it will last, I don't know if they still have the rust problems the old ones did, the newer ones arn't old enough to know yet, but the dodge is better.
            For any hippies who jump in and says Ford is the most popular truck and therefore it is the best. You want to know why? The majority of people are stupid, thats why.

              Just go for the full sized ram.

                  The Ford is decent, just don't get the 6 cylinder and do not get a 5.4L engine in it. Some idiot engineer put a timing chain on teh back of the engine, it gets worse - the engine does not fit through teh hood and the way to get to these chains is to risk the heads by removing them one at time (and the heads, if nicked are built to tolerances and destroyed), or pull the cab. Ford makes me a lot of money . If your looking at Fords, look at diesels, and don't buy one unless you run it like 40 miles or more in a stretch (short runs kill diesels).

                  I'm not a big fan of Chrysler products...

                  Chevy... there is a reason there pickups hold higher resale value than Ford or Dodge, as far as trucks go, it is my opinion, they are just better.

                      Cummins is the term you're looking for.

                      Maybe a canyon, its not a full size but its no s10.

                      Out of those choices I'd go with the Ram.

                              Let me rephrase.
                              I wouldn't want to pull anything with a ford truck
                              I wouldn't want to put a load in a ford truck
                              I wouldn't want to do any driving at all with a ford truck
