 I owned a Tacoma several years ago and it was still going strong after 235k miles and decided to go back to a Toyota truck.  After researching everything from Ford, GMC, Dodge & Nissan I decided to go with the Tundra.  I test drove the new Tacoma but found it to be somewhat cramped inside and the Tundra is a very smooth, nice handling truck for its size.  UPDATE:  After 26,000 miles the truck has been perfect and never lets me down.  I read reviews about Fords and Chevys being at the dealership for repairs weeks at a time and glad I made the decision that I did.  Hauling fencing and decking along with towing a 7000 lb boat is effortless with the 5.7 liter.  The Tundra may not constantly be updated with the newest electronics or fancy LED lighting but I know it will get me where I need to go and be reliable for years to come.  As a Toyota engineer put it, they are more interested in QDR (Quality, Durability and Reliability) rather than changing engines and updating body styles year after year.
