New to TW

Full disclosure -- I don't own a Tacoma ... yet.

I've had three Jeeps: a 1998 XJ (Cherokee) that I drove for 320 k miles, then sold to a friend for his son to go to college. Four years later and were all still friends. I replaced it with a 2012 JK that I liked for maybe 25 k miles. Sold it wholesale at 50 k. I couldn't count on it to get me home, and high oil consumption. Meanwhile I bought a 1989 YJ, 2.5 l, 5-sp that is great. Fixed it up and tricked it out -- bedlined the interior in light tan / Jeep Spice color Monstaliner, new seats, 2" lift, 31's. Bikini top and usually no doors.

But I need a long-distance vehicle that can carry camping gear, tools, etc. Looking at a new 4-door TRD.

If y'all don't mind too much I'll just lurk unless I have a question, OK?

 

Welcome to TW. Ask away with any questions you have. Are you looking to buy new or used?

 

Thank you.
Looking at new. Around here at least, everything with < 50 k miles is withing spitting distance of new. And I don't get tired of good vehicles -- I know where everything is and what it sounds like when something is wrong.
May wait for the '17's. Looking at 4Runners too.

 

If going the Tacoma route, I'd also wait for 2017. The '16s are having a lot of problems. Some of there problems are listed here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tips-and-tricks-on-the-2016-tacoma.411911/

I love the new 4runners, they are more expensive, but quality seems top notch.
