 The Mid-Size Truck Market is very interesting and great if you are interested in buying a new Vehicle, that is a little bit bigger than your Typical SUV, but can still handle the load and look aesthetically pleasing. I am a Civil Engineer and I travel to a lot of different Construction Sites. I used to own a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee (8 Cyl - 4WD), but it had A LOT of issues. The cost to repair its major flaws almost equated to the same amount I put down toward my lease for a new 2017 Toyota Tacoma Off-Road (Highest Premium Technology Package). To be honest the Toyota Tacoma never interested me because I wanted to stay with American Cars... After visiting the Philadelphia Car Show one weekend, I was looking forward to purchasing a GMC Canyon Denali or a Chevy Colorado. Though the Full Size Trucks looked great (Ford F-150, Ram Rebel, etc.) they were just a bit too large even for a person of my size (6'-2"/250lbs). However, after facing dealership issues trying find the GMC Canyon Denali, I decided to visit a well-reviewed Toyota Dealer to see the Toyota Tacoma, and my view point changed completely. The Tacoma Off-Road Package had (4) Doors, so I can still have my co-workers, family, and friends get into the vehicle. The Toyota Tacoma off-Road came with all the Technology Features (Navigation, Bluetooth, EnTune Radio, Wireless Charging Pad, Push-to-Start), Sun-Roof, and it also had Toyota's Safety features (Blind Spot mirrors, Rear-Collision Detect, Stop-Sensors, etc). In addition, compared to the other mid-size truck companies Toyota actually came with a lot of accessories that the others would force you to buy separately. Even with all the good new features there are some flaws, like the manual seat adjustments, weird placement of steering wheel, and sometimes sluggish acceleration. But even with that I still love this truck. I do a lot of volunteer work with my church, and I can haul equipment just fine, and the Short Box, which I preferred allows me to still park in Normal Parking Conditions. Plus the look of the Truck is 'Manly' and Aggressive so you get people to move out the way when you come donw the road, or turn heads when you drive by.  Sometimes I feel like the best part of my day is when I wake up to drive and come home from work because the Truck is that enjoyable. If you previously owned poor vehicles of any kind you will greatly appreciate this one no matter what. In addition, I decided to lease my Tacoma because to own the car was a bit more expensive and if they upgrade the car in the future I can move on that vehicle instead. Toyota Tacoma supposedly has a good resale value because the Trucks are tough. I do not go Off-Roading, and I predominantly drive on the Highways of NJ. I usually like to cruise and enjoy my rides, so I do not keep up too well with my fellow fast pace drivers. But my MPG is 17cty, and 21.5hwy and when I get to the job site the conditions out there are far different than the normal road. But even then, rocks, curbs, or big logs cannot hinder this Truck from Moving. A Crawl Control Feature is included if you really like going Off-Road. Overall, If you are still judging between which mid-size truck to purchase I highly recommend you look at this Toyota Tacoma and take it for a Test-Drive. [Lease Info: $375/mth; 3yr – 12,000mi]
