See, there you go with inserting your opinion that a Taco owner would disagree with and maybe be insulted by. You and they bought what makes you happy and thats all that matters.

Even though I agree that I dont like the look of a Tacoma, but I would not shit talk that to a person that owns one. Even if I liked the look of a Taco better than my Gladiator, I'd still buy the Jeep because it works better as a tool for my needs. I personally have never liked the seating position of any Toyota pickup. Those are my needs and opinions.....they may not fit everyone......For those people there's Nissan, Mitsubishi, Chevy, etc...... It's great to live in a time where there is so much choice!
I just like stirring the pot when it comes to the Bronco and Tacomas. I cant help it ! I need a bigger spoon!

Lol it’s so true! I don’t get it, they’re the biggest asshole drivers I’ve ever seen!
I drove a Ram for almost 15 years......do I sound like an unreasonable person who would drive like an asshole? Again, it has nothing to do with vehicle brand.

I'm thinking about a Bronco for the wife when the supply, hype, and inflation settles down. Then we could have opposing vehicle types depending on terrain.

It’s a very correct stereotype of Dodge Ram drivers. That doesn’t mean every single person that’s ever driven one is like that.

My wife really liked the Bronco but likes the Gladiator Mojave somewhat more, i had to have the Gladiator since i seen it. We both could agree on it so i was like we have to get it ASAP!

Maybe those taco drivers want a cool wave like the wrangler family has.

I don't think the OP has a very good sense of judgment on how fast other vehicles are going (hope he's not a state trooper). I used to own a 3rd gen Tacoma and to go from any speed to 90 MPH would have taken a few minutes, if at all. Even from 85 to 90, would have taken some flooring and manually downshifting and a lot of engine noise. A head wind or uphill? 90mph is Not going to happen. :LOL:

Also, the new Tundra just got released, with 3 new engine options etc. Tacoma owners may be feeling some buyer's remorse burn.

Somewhat related to this, when I had the Tacoma, a Colorado ZR2 a-hole tried to pull something like this on me too. This is how you can tell who regrets their choice of truck and who doesn't. :rock:

Personally, BMW drivers are the worst. Having owned a V8 4Runner for 18 years (This truck could move quick), never noticed the modded Taco Turds as an issue until I traded in my 4Runner for a Mojave. Definitely notice aggressive driving toward me from some of them.

I do feel the shade from Tacoma owners fairly often, but I haven’t had anyone get aggressive about it.

this thread is kinda funny though because there is something there.

There’s also something to the drivers of black Ram trucks. Especially, 2500s. It’s not toward gladiators though, it’s all vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. I don’t know why they attract such angry people.

Anyone have any comments on Prius drivers? In southern california they can be a handful.
