   All good points.   
   Prior to my F150, I had a ranger which i think for those 2 years i owned   
   it gave me constant back pain... after the f150, it was no longer an   
   issue.  I'm not tall, only about 6', but the ranger seating just didn't   
   fit me.  How do you find the TRD seating.  I know its not going to   
   compare to the GM, but is it at least comfortable long term?  I can't   
   find this out from a 30 minute test drive, and i can't find a tacoma to   
   rent here anywhere for a weekend.   
      
   The ranger was so rough, i tried changing the springs, all shocks,   
   thought about changing seats but couldn't find anything much better...   
   looking back they should sell those trucks with a kidney belt.   
      
      
   Whats your difference in fuel mileage?  I've been using info from   
   www.fueleconomy.gov and for every vehicle i've ever checked its been   
   very close to actual.
