    Lol dude 37,370 is the msrp for a new offroad, 49505 is msrp for the gladiator according to toyota and jeep's websites respectively. You are however correct, the difference isnt 20k, I exaggerated, its more like 12k as if thats some kind of victory for you, 12 k is still enough for a front locker, lift and a maggy sc if i was so inclined. Its not even fair how much better the tacoma is for the money.

    Wonderful poll. My 2020 Off-Road drives like a dream. Beach sand, hilly dirt roads, highway, freeway at 90mph. The truck is a dream ride.

    But the best thing about the truck is I look damn good driving down the road in it like a boss!

    And that’s all that matters.

    I really enjoy my 3rd gen. Sure there are some quirks, but I bought it for a combination of reliability, functionality, and off road capability. I have a daily driver and a dedicated off road vehicle, so it serves it's purpose in between. I have been itching for another sports car since I sold my STi, so I'll likely sell my DD in the near future and get something to fill that craving. When I do, my Tacoma will become my DD. A new manual 2023 Supra or used GT-R is calling my name.

    I've never had a raptor, granted it's a nice truck. When I pull up next to one I don't wish I had it or think it's any nicer than mine. It's a Ford every Ford except for my excursion ate shit at an unprecedented time with proper maintenance and care hence the name Found On Roadside Daily
    Jeeps are OK I guess had a willys and gave it to my sister it suites her better. She's now gotten rid of it and has a trd off road 4-runner. Bottom line is after having several other mid-size and full size trucks/ suv the tacoma 3rd gen is my favorite hands down. From the community aspect, the aftermarket parts, the looks, the drive I love it.. Oh maybe I already said that.

    Lol dude thats so funny... "The Mojave is so much better than the tacoma, look people are paying 5k (and 15k over msrp) more for one that has 20k more miles, that means the rubi is better right?" lol dude people like the Tacoma sooooooooo much better than the gladiator if they are selling them for that much. This just proves my point, the Tacoma is just the better vehicle. That gladiator is 10k bellow market value and they still can't sell it, lol. Why don't you go buy that one if is so good? Its within 500 miles of you, go snap up that deal. looooooooool

    Cute of you to crop out how much above or below market value they were, but its to late i saw it

    I'm not goin to bed dude, you can feel free to do so though. The market has spoken, the Tacoma is better and the gladiator is worse. You really haven't given anything to prove otherwise. Except the fact that tacomas are valued much higher than gladiators, which actually is just another way tacomas are better, dat resale value.

    If you've brought a vehicle anytime in the last year you'd be aware that it's lower than resale?? 0 miles straight from factory was 3 grand cheaper than 40000 miles and 1-2 years old. Here's an even better example at 10,000 over msrp
