    Would you ever trade your Tacoma for an FJ cruiser? I rarely use my bed and I don't haul anything in my pickup. I went on Toyotas website and they updated the Fj page to 2012. I'm really liking the Trail teams edition for 2012. It's radiant red now and has the matte black TRD fj 6 spoke wheels.

    The newness of my Taco hasn't wore off yet and if I ever give up my woodworking hobby, I might consider giving up the bed for an FJ. I must admit, that's one damn nice looking vehicle.
