So I had a Titan (05) and loved it for about 30,000 miles, then it started to rattle and not feel so solid anymore, the steering was getting a little sloppy, etc... I got rid of it because I wasn't towing the STi much any more. It towed really well for a 1/4 ton. (Sperry can speak to that as we towed his car as much as we towed mine with it)... So, long term, the Titan started to feel old pretty early. Also my 5' tall wife couldn't see out of it from the driver's seat, so that wouldn't work.

We checked out the Tundra, they are super nice, but more truck than we wanted. Not to mention a Tundra set up like the Tacoma runs over $44k. We rarely tow more than 5 or 6k pounds, and actually prefer the off-road capability of the Tacoma. Fuel mileage is better, it fits in the garage, etc. Better overall daily driver and that's what it will be for us.
