    I agree with him but more from a mechanical standpoint. What if you stress something and later on it leaves her stranded somewhere? Thats what would worry me the most. Take the tacoma!

    I vote taco. You gotta break in in sometime. If you don't use it now on the trails when will you use it. Most light scratches from trails will buff out real easy. If the truck is dirty and you see scratches don't worry. most of the time it's just the dirt that was wiped off.

    Just my opinion

    Wait the Jeep is AWD? I'd say take it because it's already beat up but... AWD isn't exactly ideal. I didn't know Jeep even did AWD... ...

    If that's the case, the 4x4 Tacoma would be a much better/wiser choice... I mean my 08's got a bunch of scratches now and it's just a prerunner :D
