    Ok so i have plans to trade in my 05 SR5 1x4 (No diff Lock) Taco....

    But I cant decide if I want to get another Taco with less miles, 4x4, and maybe TRD....
    Or
    FJ less miles, 4x4, and maybe the OffRoad package.

    This question has been started because of how much I have been loving driving my new to me 2000 Toyota 4Runner 4x4.

    I dont use my bed that much. Love the look of the truck, but kinda like the FJ look better. In the long run this next vehicle is going to be around for as long as it will drive, and deffinatly plany to build it up for OffRoading here on the Beach, and in the Mud.

    What do yall think? What has the potential of meing the better OffRoad fun?

    You don't see a bad choice here because "Ford" or "Dodge" was not one of the decisions to be made.

    So you already have a 2000 4R? A Fj will just be another smaller version, why not get another taco then have the best of both :notsure:

    I agree. but has to be modded with works. I love the cargo net look as well. I think a soft top Tacoma cargo net would be pretty bad ass.
