    Why should we have to do anything for you? Plenty of knowledgable members gave you good advice, and you kept arguing about Jeeps offroading better than Tacomas.
    I do have my PhD in Fuckery and Ass-hattery.
    Like I said, You are off to a wonderful start here.
    Keep you precious Jeep and go buy a used truck.

    So I should back down and be a beta bitch or should I speak my mind? I am asking questions I wasn't a dick till people got pissy with me and started talking shit. Sorry but I'm not one to back down and I've got nothing but time tonight to entertain myself.

    You had 5 or 6 solid responses and then came in with this ignorance. I'd like you to go to your jeep forum and tell them "we all know the Jeep doesn't touch a Tacoma off road"

    See how that goes for you there and report back. You opened the gate man.

    And I resonded kindly to those members. Its the tards who say a Tacoma with a lift and tires will beat a Jeep that piss me off. Its like going to a dealership and hearing the idiots tell me the truck is going to drive on water. I want real objective advice, not some guy saying a truck built to pull is better than a Jeep made to crawl. Put the same money into either vehicle and the Jeep will win 100% of the time, why? Its what they're made for.

    Its a simple fact of engineering. Is a Tacoma made to off road or is a Jeep? Can I put 10-15K into a Tacoma to make it beat a Jeep, sure, but what happens if I put that same money into a Jeep? Yeah thought so.

    There's more to off-roading than crawling.

    I generally believe all modern vehicles are on the same playing field with reliability. But I'm fooling myself. I love Jeeps. Will have one again. On my fourth Ram. Neither is as reliable as a Tacoma. Plain fact, look at the stats for issues per 100 units.

    I also looked at Frontiers. They are around 400 lbs heavier than the Tacoma, so the extra hp and torque are not realized relative to the Tacoma. The frontiers are pretty damn capable, too, and even have a boxed rear frame. However, that fancy frame is rather flexy and often results in bed contacting cabin and sheet metal damage.

    The new Colorado looks like quite a truck (really like the styling), tows more, and haul more with better MPGs. I would never buy a first year model run, though. Also, it's not a Tacoma.

    I bought a Tacoma in part because it was the best fitting vehicle I have ever sat in. And it was dead sexy. Ultimately, buying a vehicle is an emotional purchase, so buy the one you like best. Fuck stats, just do what feels good.

    If I were you and loved my Jeep so much, I'd just buy a trailer.

    Now, if my Tacoma only had heated mirrors...
