    Beautiful Ride, love the color.
    I was looking at exactly the same truck but was just more money than I was willing to spend.
    A friend has a new Rubicon, cost him a small fortune and doesn't ride anywhere near as nice as my Tacoma.

    Thank you. The price was a little high but still cheaper than the Rubicon. At the end of the day Toyota makes better vehicles than Fiat. I was looking hard at a TRD off-road but it was only five grand cheaper.

    Thank you. I know everything has its quirks but so far it's nice to have a Toyota. Coming from Jeep every little problem that seemed to arise was always they all do that it's a Jeep lol. The money those four doors cost I can't justify how that is excusable. What really made me feel good about it all is everyone I've ever talked to that's had a Toyota new or old has never said I wouldn't buy another one or they had a bunch of problems with it.

    It's definitely addicting. It's a lot like Jeep in that respect.

    I agree. But compare it to a Rubicon Jeep and you will see it's still cheaper. In fact it has more standard features and available ones as well. I priced a Rubicon that would be really close and it was 60k. No way I would pay that for a piece of shit Jeep. Plus this has Fox tuned suspension. Not something you can buy from Wal-Mart or AutoZone lol.

    It’s not your fault. Just where new vehicle pricing has gone.

    No worries. I still think it's a little pricey. Midsized trucks are getting hotter on the market. Same problem with Jeep. I walked in ready to pay 55k cash for a Rubicon and they flat out told me no way we sale too many.

    Added another Yota to the stable. 2010 FJ. Still love my Tacoma but the FJ is a very fun vehicle to drive. I do prefer the 4.0 to the 3.5 though. On the highway they're both the same but around town there's just more power and torque with the 4.0. So hard to find one in decent to good shape for less than 20k. Some folks are on a high horse. It's no Trail Teams Edition but it gets the job done for what I need to do lol.
