    Welcome!
    Did you already buy a Tacoma and are looking for things for it? Or are you trying to decide whether to buy a Tacoma or not?

    I guess it comes down to if you want to haul a trailer or not between the two.

    I have a small alum a lite utility trailer, not sure either of my choices will handle a hitch hauler. I usually use that if I stay on pavement to my destination?

    You and Medic2230 want me to spend more to “haul more stuff”
    Thanks, I just found out my SS is going up by $20 and my Medicare is going up by 60? Is there a flea market in this forum :)
    Thanks for the warm welcome, gang.

    Yeah with the trailer I guess either would do. We have both and actually we use the Tacoma more than the 4runner for traveling.

    Well of course there's a flea market. The buy, sell, trade section. Haha

    Actually when I had a bike I used a trailer to haul it. But I also had a 1st gen Tacoma then. Still think I would trailer a bike even now. But them I had a cruiser type not something smaller like a dual sport. Seen plenty haul dirt bikes in the bed of the truck on here though.

    With the mtn bikes you can mount the bike mounts things that the forks hook to on the front rail of the bed to haul then in there also. I can't say for sure if you're looking at a 3rd gen Tacoma if those are still there because I have a 2nd gen. Maybe someone with a 3rd gen can chime in and answer that part.

    Great info, that’s what I’m looking for!
    I’ve alway had a truck (last 40 yrs)

    I rode in a new 4Runner deluxe leather heated seats...pretty comfy.

    It's taken my wife a long time to decide to maybe trade hers in on a new one. She was very disappointed when she found out she couldn't get another one with the v8. She's looking at a new TRD Pro one.
