    Dude, it's a basic truck with less tech than a 2015 Kia Soul exclamation point model.

    A Porsche 918 or something like that is an amazing machine..

    At least we don't have to use "Fronty". What a stupid fucking nickname. Sounds like a nude photo your girlfriend sends you.

    Seriously though I've wondered myself why Toyota went with Tacoma as a name.

    tacoma: From the Salish Indian word for the mountain that provided water to their tribe (later changed to Mount Rainier). The name suggests images of strength and power

    Also found this:

    http://www.softschools.com/facts/us_national_landmarks/mount_rainier_volcano_facts/1192/

    Basically it's a big mountain, why's it called a Colarado, or Ranger o_O

    "Prior to being known as Mount Rainier, the volcano was called Tacoma, and was also referred to as Talol, Tahoma, Tacobeh, and Pooskaus by various Native American tribes."

    "The United States has 128 ultra-prominent mountain peaks. Mount Rainier is considered to be ranked third out of these 128 peaks."
