    I had the fx4 for a day. It was nice but i'm not that impressed. it just seemed too bland. I'm more 50/50 on a taco/raptor. I would have probably sealed the deal on a taco already if the SC was an available dealer option.

    I say go for what you want.
    You aleady know it will be 4x4.
    Guess it comes down to whether you are willing to go with a larger footprint or keep it nimble.
    The Tacoma certainly is point & shoot, does a lot very well. The Fords Ecoboosts are making a lot of waves.
    The guys are work who have them love them. I really like the room of the fullsize.
    Either way it will be fun for sure!

    The S/C should be a dealer option, it was at all of the dealers I looked at...any modernized dealer has recognized offering factory and non-factory performance installs is good business...
