It’s a known fact that trucks and SUVs are the first choice for American car buyers these days, and while homegrown offerings are still doing well in terms of sales, there are some brands on the up-and-up that bring reliability, capability, and affordable pricing to the fray.

The sweet spot in the lineup sits near the top, but still gives you a $10,000 discount over the top-spec model without taking massive penalties: the Toyota Tacoma Limited is all the truck you need, although the reasons why might not be what you expect.
