I know several people who have Toyota Tacomas, with ***-loads of miles, and they are still tight and don't rattle. Been problem free as well. None of the six cylinder motors have the cam issue, that motor is bulletproof.

If you are buying a new truck, get the Toyota. The resale value is so stinking good that it makes no sense to buy a used one.

EDIT: Really dead thread:wall:

The new tundra, well its ugly and has had some quality issues. Cam issue aside, their 5.7 DOCH V8 is pretty awesome, 380 hp, 400lb-ft tq.

I don't know about the newer dakotas, but my '98 has 141,000 miles on it and has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
