Well, howdy there! Let’s chew the fat about this here “tacoma suv,” or whatever them city folks call it. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I’ve seen a thing or two in my day, and I reckon I can tell you a thing or two about cars, trucks, and them fancy things in between.
First off, this “tacoma” thing, it ain’t no regular car, you see. It’s more like a truck, but not one of them big ol’ farm trucks. It’s kinda in-between, like a… a fancy truck, I guess you could say. They call it a “pickup truck,” whatever that means. Sounds like somethin’ you use to pick up beans in the field, but these city folk, they use ‘em for all sorts of things, goin’ to the store, haulin’ their fancy groceries and such.
Now, I heard tell that this “tacoma” has been around for a spell. Since 1995, someone told me. That’s a long time, longer than my old mule, bless his heart. So, I guess it must be a pretty good truck if it’s been around that long. Folks don’t keep buyin’ somethin’ if it ain’t no good, right?
Someone also mentioned somethin’ called a “4Runner.” Said it looks kinda like the tacoma, but it ain’t the same. Sounds like a bunch of confusing hogwash to me. Why they gotta make so many different cars, I don’t know. Back in my day, you had a car, and you had a truck. That was it. Simple as that. Now, you got all these “suvs” and “crossovers” and “hybrids.” Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it.
- They say the “tacoma” is made by some Japanese company, “Toyota” I think they called it. Sounds foreign, don’t it? But I guess them foreigners know how to make a good truck, seein’ as how many of ‘em are on the road these days.
- And this “4Runner,” it’s like a cousin to the tacoma, but not a close cousin, more like a second cousin twice removed or somethin’. They share some parts, like the… uh… the things that make the wheels go up and down, suspension they call it. But they ain’t the same, no sir. One’s a truck, and one’s… well, I don’t rightly know what the other one is. Another fancy car, I reckon.
Now, they also talk about how much this “tacoma” costs. Said it starts at some ungodly number, somethin’ like thirty-two thousand dollars! Thirty-two thousand dollars! Why, that’s enough to buy a whole farm back in my day! And it can go up to fifty-three thousand! Lord have mercy, what are these city folk doin’ with their money? Spendin’ it on fancy trucks, that’s what. Back in my day, a good truck cost ya a couple hundred dollars, and that was if it was brand new!
Someone was ramblin’ on about another car, somethin’ called a “Ford Explorer.” Said you could win a trip to America if you test drove one. America? I’m already in America! These city folk sure are somethin’. But that “Ford Explorer,” sounds like another one of them fancy cars. Not a truck, mind you, but one of them… suvs, I think they called it. Probably got all sorts of bells and whistles and fancy gadgets. I bet it even parks itself! Can you believe that? A car that parks itself! What’s the world comin’ to?
Anyways, this “tacoma suv” thing, it seems like a pretty popular truck, even if it ain’t a real truck like the ones we used to have on the farm. It’s strong, it’s reliable, and it’ll haul your groceries or whatever fancy things you need to haul. But it’ll cost ya a pretty penny, that’s for sure. So, if you got the money and you need a fancy truck, I guess it’s a good choice. But if you’re like me, and you prefer somethin’ simple and reliable, well, you might be better off stickin’ with an old mule. At least you know what you’re gettin’ with a mule.
Now, I gotta go feed my chickens. All this talk about fancy cars and trucks has made me hungry. And remember, don’t go spendin’ all your hard-earned money on somethin’ you don’t need. A good pair of boots and a strong back will get you further than any fancy car ever will.
