Compact Pickup
2009 Toyota Tacoma
|
| For the fifth year in a row the top performing Toyota Tacoma took home Vincentric’s Best Value in America award in the compact pickup segment. It wasn’t much of a contest as the Tacoma showed ownership costs over 8% lower than expected; significantly better in a segment with the Ford Ranger and the new Suzuki Equator as the best of the rest. |
