My Two Favorite Trucks

2001 Toyota Tacoma
I often don't take a second look at trucks simply because they're gas hogs and they are very large and not very fast. Although all of that is true there are still a few trucks that I love to see tearing up the mud. My first favorite truck is the Toyota Tacoma because it is very reliable and four wheel drive. Besides that it is a very lightweight truck compared to others. In most models it has a 3.4 liter v6 producing 190 horsepower. It only weighs 3,877 pounds on the four wheel drive model which is not much more then most cars. All of these things make this a great mudding truck and make it perfect for climbing rocks and such.
2010 Ford Raptor
My second pick is the Ford Raptor mainly because it is a beast of  a truck and is absolutely beautiful. It comes equipped with almost everything you would need to go offroading right from the factory. It rides higher up so you don't need to put on a lift kit or anything. In the raptor there is a 6.2 liter v8 which also comes in the ford super duty it produces 411 horsepower. The 411 is quite a lot more then the toyotas although this truck weighs almost twice the tacoma. If I had to pick from one of these I would still go with the   tacoma because it is more reliable and can climb obstacles better.
