The front truck is wonderful. Put a small lift on it and you can literally go anywhere in north America

Sure, what I mean is that brand/year/size truck, as you say, ideally with 4wd.

2wd, 75% of north America.

So what you meant is that truck but not that truck.

Also FYI the 2wd version was not liftable in any practical sense. It has IFS and I doubt anyone and a kit for it. So it would be a custom job, for a 2wd truck.

But yes you are right, that truck will literally go anywhere in America there is a maintained road. Just like every other vehicle.

Huh? How is it not "that truck"? It simply needs a not pictured accessory. My point was quite clear that a land yacht is not required to get almost anywhere.

It was the SIZE of the vehicle I was namely describing, you pedant

Edit this context is obvious if you use any critical thinking, as the subject of the meme/post photo is the relative sizes of the vehicle.

Don't be a pedantic dick. He was saying that the generation of the Tacoma that is pictured here as the small truck was highly capable. There were 4wd versions produced and with a lift they were some of the most versatile vehicles ever made. There's a reason why militaries added machine guns and artillery cannons to them sometimes. Don't act like you don't understand what they were trying to say.

Yeah but in my experience with those smaller trucks if you get stuck going forward you'll almost always be able to back out of it.
