    Hello everyone, I am thinking about buying a 2011 DCSB Tacoma. I currently own a 2010 FJC and will be selling my 2011 Mustang 5.0 to get a new vehicle. I am on the fence dont know what to go with a Tacoma or a Trail 4runner. I will be lurking around to see if I can make up my mind

    Since you already have an FJC I'd go with the Tacoma.
