From: M. Balmer on 2 Nov 2009 21:15 Toyota used to have a disclaimer in their sales brochure that the Tacoma was built to be used off road. GM used to market their losers as light duty, which I take to mean station wagons with a bed.

I actaully have a lot of problems with people who like to play off road. More than once one of the boys haa had to leave their toy stuck out in the middle of one of my fields. I've had to pull more than one Tacoma out of the mud becasue the idiot driver thought his paly toy could go anywhere. I should start taking pictures. Ed
