My 2006 Honda civic hybrid has been good to me. But I'm looking to get a newer (used) truck/SUV. I'm working with a budget of $25K, want 4WD, more leg room (I'm 5'8") and something better for my kayaking, hiking lifestyle.

Excellent fuel mileage isn't a huge consideration, but maintenance cost and effort is!

If you picked Tacoma, give me specifics on what year you like! I've heard different model years can vary inside dimensions.

I haven't test driven any of these yet, but don't even know anyone who has one. Looking for thoughts!
