Brutal test of the 2019 4Runner. How would the 3rd gen Taco do?

    He tests crawl control on the way back.

    I was kind of waiting for the tranny, or rear diff to blow. Guess I've been reading too many 3rd gen Taco threads. :p

    4runner has a lot of advantages. Better breakover, departure and ground clearance. More protection underneath, more weight over the rear axle. Beefier drivetrain.

    I think the Tacoma would get hung up on the transmission cross member and exhaust crossover. Probably quite a bit of damage to the bumpers as they are quite delicate. Tail pipe wouldn't have been happy either.

    Smitty is a cosmic hybrid. Not only a boy-man-child, but also a metaphorical virtual exhaling of a cavity with funky odors and general negativity towards 3rd gens.






    ...don't be a Smitty

    Ok, I thought about this post....

    Yes, I agree.

    Someone with that kind of knowledge should be here.

    If that person could just chill out and refrain from posting the same nonsense over and over, they would be well respected by all, including the staff.

    Just my opinion.....

    Did you get that Smitty?
