    Hi everyone, considering selling the FJ for the new TRD PRO so I thought i would check out your community here. Never thought i would get rid of the FJ but that rig could convince me! So dont mind me while i lurk in the background. .

    Welcome Don!
    I loved my FJ and all the things it did (Locker ATRAC ECT) and I still love the FJ! My son owns it now so it is in the family.
    I needed more room and always wanted a Tacoma. I love my Tacoma just as much and love the extra room for ride alongs and the bed for gear. I can also sleep in the back on wheeling weekends more comfortably. It has everything and more.
    The Tacoma goes everywhere the FJ did and has more room with the back doors. My Tacoma is a 2015 TRD Off Road 4x4.
    Test drive one and you will love it. They can pull more as well. I pulled my trailer from SoCal to Washington State with no issues.
    If you are pulling something get the tow package with the trany and oil cooler. taco Saddleback1.jpg
    The Tacoma will not disappoint.
    :)

    If you have any questions let me know.

    They aren't, it was a dealer add on. I got pretty lucky, happened to find a dealer that had the color and add ons I wanted in stock. All others had a waiting list for the Voodoo Blue.
