    Hey All,

    I joined because I'm considering a 3rd gen taco. I currently own a 1996 (80 series) landcruiser that is fully built. I would be selling that truck and replacing it with said taco. I have also owned a lightly modded 2004 4runner.

    Thanks and looking forward to being part of the community.

    older land cruisers are going for more than you might expect. Depending on the spec and condition, they can be $10k+

    Welcome. Make sure you do some research on the 3rd Gen. Lots like it, and some don't after having it.

    Thanks for the heads-up. Appreciate you looking out. I have only test driven one, a 2018 TRD OR DCLB. I actually didn't love how it drove, but from what i've read, a better suspension, 4.88 gearing and a tune make it like a different vehicle.

    Only a fool would deny this. I 100% agree with you. I do like the versatility of the bed. I plan to get a camper rig for the back. 4runners are also ridiculously overpriced and hold their value even better than Tacos, which is scary expensive.

    I’m a recent Gen 3 Taco to Gen 5 4Runner user. Traded in the new Taco for a new 4Runner. No regrets. :goingcrazy:

    I've driven the 3.5L in auto and manual, rwd and 4x4. I preferred the manual.
