Should i trade my Z71 for this Tacoma opinions please

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-builds/114345-jlees-build.html

this ^^ is the kind of toyota you should be looking for.

 

The moment you give up your 4x4 for a 2wd . . . you'll start kicking yourself in the butt.

 

x2

Most of the time Pre-Runner guys step up to 4WD with a "I'd never go back" I'm sure it has happened but I've never heard someone step down and be happy.

 

Yep....Were all chevy fans here...lol But, I think your Chevy is nicer than that one particular Toyota. I would look at different Tacoma's.

 

and nobody wants to trade me there 4x4 tacoma on here lol

 

dont do it!!!!!!!!!!!!im a chevy guy ive owned an 01 z71,04 z71, 05 sierra,05 duramax.......i love my tacoma and if you wanna get a tacoma get a 4wd 2nd gen 4door or your gonna be kicking yourself in the ass for getting rid of the chevy man.....ps if you keep the chevy look up blackbearperformance.......he does the best custom ecu tunes for chevys...no handheld comes close

 

ya i know about the good ol blackbear im on the GMFS forum too... i just dont want to shell out the cash for a second gen 4x4 there big dollars.... im really stunned right now about all this. well i have till monday to think about it and this is goign to be a hard decision

 

i was in your same position.....but hold out man...you have a real nice silverado...first you dont want a 2wd coming from what you have now...2nd it has a 3in bodylift which isnt a good thing......i would keep your truck that you know and love untill you find a real nice taco that fits all your needs...coming from ur chevy you will be more happy i feel with a 2nd gen...i personally love 1st gens and in many ways more then my 2nd gen, but they lack inter space and do not ride as nice as the 2nd gens do...my 2nd gen is very similar to my chevys and alot tougher with out all the chevy squeeks(center console lol)....1st gen simple,reliable,great offroad...2nd gen is bigger,smoother,more powerful.....you pick but i would not settle for that 1st gen you found...welcome to the forums.....ps i spent 3yrs looking for the right tacoma and owned 2 gmc's including my duramax before i found her...when i did i traded the duramax for her

 

Ill only own toyotas so TOYOTA!!!!! but why dont you sell you chevy and find a nice tacoma.
Ask yourself this one question???
Will you really be happy going from a v8 to a smaller truck?

Ill sell ya my 2002?

stick w/ the chevy 4x4

or do what Jesse recommended & buy his 02... I have seen lots of pics of his truck & it's nice. 50k mi too if I recall...

 

i love my tacoma, but avoid the bl like the plague.

I bought my truck, previous owner had a bl on it, then took it off. left nothing but problems.

 

ya i guess im gonna keep it although i really do like the tacoma.... Going from the v8 i dont think will bother me at all... I might miss the 4x4 a little bit but i guess i need my truck incase i ever have to put the carseats in my truck.... Man this sucks im torn

 

Z71 all day.

 

Rep added!

Thanks!!!

 

back to back post sorry!!!

rear facing car seats don't fit in xtra cab tacomas. Well they fit but don't plan on anyone sitting in the front sear.
Thats why I am selling my 1st gen

 

well although thats not a deal breaker it doesnt help. we have a new altima that we take everywhere... Kbb on my truck vs the yota are pretty close thats what im mainly concerned with.. I drive less than 100 miles a month probably in my truck. i dont spend alot of time in in just looking for someting that will hold there value for the longrun i guess is what im more interested in.. What if i come from that angle?

 

if you really want a taco, get yerself a 4x4 v6, late 1st gen. completely worth the moneys.

 

X 2

 

If you want to buy one for better value in the future get one without a body lift, cause not to many people will want to buy it when you do try to sell it.

 

No, keep your truck, far better truck.
