Tacoma, 4runner or JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

I would absolutely NEVER buy the first year of a newly redesigned FCA vehicle (new transmission, new axles, new electronics, all are new on the JL)

And that's coming from someone who owns and loves a Jeep Wrangler.

 

So true. All the shiny, never see the dirt, fancy rims and tires, built up Jeeps around here are driven by women.

 

62K on my 17 PRO 6MT

225K on my gen 1 poverty spec 4 door unicorn.

Love my Tacomas. Jeep convertible truck brings a new dimension...

 

SUPER HOT women...

 

Correct, seems like more often than not.

I think it most be a narcissistic thing for them, to drive a round in a modified Jeep that they will never take off-road, a look at me type of deal, sorta like Instagram.

 

Sounds like 80% of the BRO members of Tacoma forum...

 

God forbid someone makes their vehicle look cool... Jeeze.

 

MK7 R's have better resale, so I'm hoping to get a decent trade-in value...

 

Meh, you’ll see lol. As long as you didn’t pay sticker or over you’ll probably be okay

 

Btw, how are you liking the MT on your Tacoma? I've driven MT all my life but am on the fringe of getting a AT with this truck

 

Yeah, I wasn't part of that population who couldn't wait or couldn't put in more work to find a dealer who was selling at sticker price. I had to drive from Chicago to Lexington, KY to get a MK7 R that wasn't marked up.

 

3,800 miles on my 2016 OR 6MT

Traded that in my 2017 PRO 6MT. I have 62,000 miles . Love the MT

I rather need a LB, but don’t want a gimpomatic autotragic. So I went with SB but a true mans 3 pedal

Love it

 

NICE... I'll test drive both MT and AT but most likely I'll end up with the stick and three pedals... not to mention, it's cheaper too.

 

Do it once

Do it right

Three pedal for life

 

I like the Toyotas for the reliability...
There are a lot of aftermarket parts for both.
The Toyotas you can go to 33s, 35s take major work.

I like the Tacoma for a prerunner / overlanding, carrying more gear, really good ground clearance and longer wheel base for driving fast. Small cab is good and bad.

The 4Runner I like for overlanding, comfort, interior space and more gear inside. Bad lower gas tank, wider, heavier have to put gear on roof.

The Jeep I like for a rock crawler / beach, very easy to mod, 35s - 37s with a lift, tons of parts, Rubican, dual lockers ect, more factory options. Bad reliability, least amount of storage. short wheel base could be good or bad.

 

Do u tow that back and forth to the trails?

 

The whole notion of Jeeps being unreliable... I’ve had 12 Jeeps, and besides the 2 3.8s with 100+k (burning a little oil) they were all bulletproof. The 3.6 in the 2012+ was a very nice upgrade, and the two I had (14 and 16) were both awesome.

I will never own just a Jeep... have to have a decently comfortable daily. I won’t take my Tacoma on the trails, too bro and too pretty for that lol.

 

Yes, from CA to Moab and back, or wherever I go at 80+ mph. All over the state's. That way I know I will get home. Check this out.

 

That is awesome man. Some nice country there too. Litterly exactly the same thing I wanted to do but I was going to get a car trailer. I never thought of a tow bar. Thx for the idea. What tow bar is that? Did u need any additional kit for the Taco to tow?
