    Hello all,

    I signed up to the forums in the beginning of the year. I have always wanted a Tacoma since my dad's 1985 Toyota Pickup. Fast forward to 2010, I buy a brand new FJ Cruiser instead. I do all the mods I want to it, and then never drive it very far.

    I purchased my first Tacoma in the beginning of this year, 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR 4x4 with SX package. I wanted the small access cab, 4x4, white on black, 4cyl, etc. I absolutely love the Tacoma, but now the FJ NEVER gets driven.

    I posted over on the FJ Forums too, I have this great mod'd out FJ with 59k miles in amazing condition that now does't move. I am thinking about selling both the FJ and Tacoma for a nicer Tacoma the beginning of next year.

    So I am currently looking for the best of both worlds. A Tacoma that is good on the road, good in snow, will rarely if ever be taken off road, but has the off road "poser" look....haha. Looking at all the TRD's or doing the SR5 how I want.

    Welcome to The Forum!

    Good luck with your decision. If it were me, I would sell both trucks and get a fully outfitted Tacoma.
