2006 Toyota Tacoma Pickup

The Toyota Tacoma underwent a complete transformation last year, moving from the realm of compact to midsize pickup. As neither Ford nor GM yet offers a mid-size pickup, Tacoma's new-found size allows it to play in a field with fewer entrants. The Tacoma has all the right components to lead this segment and brings with it an extremely loyal owner base, built over decades by Toyota's reputation for building high-quality, long-lasting and reliable trucks.
