Had an offer to trade my Tacoma for a Wrangler. What do you think?

    We own one of each 11' AC Taco 4x4 6 speed and 08 Sahara 2dr 6 speed...the Taco is driven daily, the Jeep not so much. The jeep needs FAR more regular maintenance than the taco does, taco at 55k, jeep at 70k. However, the jeep with blizzak snows is fantastic in winter...and gets used all winter long. When the roads are clear, the jeep gets parked and the wife drives the '13 WRX!

    However, if the jeep fits your needs better, then trade, if not, keep the taco.

    To be honest, I love my tacoma and got it to have the extra room over the Jeep I used to have. But I have had WAY more problems with the Tacoma than I ever did with my jeep. I spend money on the jeep to upgrade it, but in the past 2 years, I seem to just be replacing worn out part on my Tacoma.

    I think it would be a good trade. The 4.0 is an awesome motor and provide better power offroad than the 3.4 does.

    Just my $.02 though!

    Thanks for the answers. I decided to keep the Tacoma. I have a large yard and like having a truck to get mulch, lumber etc. the jeep would of been used more since it's easier to get the kids in and out but it took me a while to find a clean 1st gen tacoma. If I could EVER find wheels for it I would be set! I hate the wheels and would like alloy ones but cannot find a single wheel!
