    Traded my 2016 Tacoma TRD sport in for a 2019 4Runner pro.

    Excited but sad at the same time, going to miss the truck!

    Congrats! I would have gone 4Runner but Toyota decided those are automatics only. :(

    Yes, I harbor grudges for years.

    That decision is completely understandable, if a manual is what you wanted!

    Weighed Taco vs 4Runner in April but went Taco because of the updated drivetrain. Once 4Runner updates its drivetrain I may need to revisit...good luck!

    Yeah.. 4Runner drivetrain has lots of problems.

    Tacoma’s now 3 year old setup is way better.

    Thinking that was sarcasm my friend, the 4runner 4.0 is pretty bulletproof, one of the last true Toyotas.

    Exactly. Happy to swoop one up before the redesign coming in 2021.

    Thank you, 4runner is more practical for my family. I also don’t tow, so I believe the 4Runner will suit me better. Still plenty capable off road as well.

    I would agree with you there, unfortunately. You just have to pull the trigger.

    Congrats man! If I didn’t have 300lbs of drooling shedding dogs I would of gotten a 4Runner. But I’d rather stink the box than my back seats lol!! Great choice I’m jealous! My next new vehicle will be a 4 runner!
