    Awesome! :)

    Do it man. Other than size you'll dig the Taco. I've had shit from an F250 PowerStroke to a 1st gen Tacoma. I'd buy a domestic full size again but having owned a few I know Toyota makes the most reliable & durable truck.

    Seems high, but always wonder why people get rid of their heavily modified trucks, unless there's problems.

    I think a lot of these people are what you call "keeping up with the Jones." Theyll never be happy with the vehicle they have.

    If you are getting it purely for offroad, taco for sure. Otherwise, 04-06 tundra. Its not that much bigger, is twice the truck as the taco and you can get a limited cheaper than a sr5 taco for some reason.... Keep in mind all the older toyotas have potential for frame failure. Watch for rust behind top of windshield on gen1 tundra, and they have timing belt which kinda sucks.

    I want the best of both worlds. I want something to pull my 4 wheelers, off road with my friends, take on a long trip if needed, etc etc. I have a daily driver I use to make my 100 mile commute to work.
