    Thank you for your service. My nephew just became an Airman and is stationed down in OK. I won't ask where you are just in case. ;)

    I hear you. For what it cost for a mid sized truck, it’s worth whatever it costs to buy a full sized. Colorado well optioned is mid 30’s and I know the Tacoma’s aren’t cheap either.

    Yeah, as I said, I really like the look of the new generation Colorado, but I would really have a hard time personally paying almost as much as a full size.

    I used to drive Toyota pickups and love the look of the Tacomas and Tundras. I test drove a 2015 Tacoma at the same dealership. It seemed cramped. I just couldn't get enough space and it seemed sluggish. I think there was only 30some thousand miles on it. Granted, the Colorado is new and all but space is space.

    As long as the truck functions for you, that’s all that matters.

    glorth2,

    Is that lumber yard in Bedminster? Do they have a flat rate for trailers? I'm lucky enough to have a wood lot to collect free range firewood, but this looks like a good place load up in a pinch.
    Nice truck. I bought my 2009 Tacoma in 2011. Plan on holding on it until the salt takes it. Not looking forward to dropping $50K on the next truck, which will be a full size.

    Hey man! It's technically in Plumsteadville but it's probably the one you're thinking of. Heacock Lumber on 611. I would think that they charge the same $20 that they charge for pickups but call to be safe. You can only cut and collect on Saturdays between 8-12 but they're very nice. PM me if you ever want to cut together. I'm not a complete rookie. :D
