Toyota Tacoma
Because people who purchase trucks must deal with the harsh reality of fuel prices, Toyota has decided to offer a new version of the Tacoma for 2009, with a 2.7-litre four-cylinder engine, Access cab, and four-wheel drive. This version is available with either a manual or automatic transmission for less than $25,000. The Tacoma pickup truck is a robust, very well built, and reliable vehicle. Yes, its price is slightly above that of the competition, but it will depreciate at a slower rate.
