Supercharge 3rd Gen or Trade for 4th Gen?

It's easy to purchase octane booster, and add as needed. This is what I've done when out of the country...works a treat.

I wheel with a buddy that has a Toyota factory supercharger and he would never go back...

Cheers

 

Ahh fair. Hadn’t thought of that.

 

Personally I would choose 3

I thought about supercharging my truck before, but I decided against it because I still want to take 87 octane on my truck. It’s also a lot of money that I’d rather put into other stuff.

I’d ideally like to wait longer to see the 4th gen prove itself before considering one

 

Id agree to a point, but every single offroad park ive been to, none of the full size trucks were able to make it up the steep climbs to the top of ridges, id only see jeeps, tacos and broncos. One time i saw a brand new Land Rover 110, the owners were wide eyed and scared at the top of the thin ridge line. They ended up rolling their Land Rover on the descent, my ranger buddy at hollister hills had to rescue them off hours, since they did it at sunset. I put a maggy in my taco because it was my only complaint with the truck after loaded down with all the upgrades. Now im happy i can get up or over any hills without struggle and I still fit on the small narrow trails.

 

To that point, id still get a taco and supercharge it over any midsize that was out at that time(2020 when i SC it). Currently if i was looking to a new truck then the ford ranger raptor might get my money, but even then, id be hesitant since resale and durability arent the same as a toyota.

 

I ride mountain bikes and moto so i made a cost comparison on a new mtb vs more power in my truck. Since the year I installed it there wasn’t anything exciting coming out on the mtb side, i spent my money instead on the maggy. The bike i eventually bought costs around $12k, so a 7k supercharger wasn’t a big spend all things considering.

 

I love that view!!

 

Well thanks!
I think Co is good for a visit but i don't think i want to live there, hell I'm about ready to leave AZ and i've lived here all my life, getting too crowded.
My wife and I are thinking small town/village in the mountains of Italy for retirement.

 

Wait, what? What kind of TJ are you gonna be?

OP, I'd do #3 and be happy with it, at least for a couple more years while the work the kinks out in the new model. Think about what you like about the new TRD Pro and what you don't like. Go for an Off Road and save for the mods you want over the next couple of years.

No way would I spend $65k+ on the new Pro, especially in the first couple of years of it being out. Too much stuff I don't want. The speaker, the seats, the over-the-top badging, ugh.

I don't regret getting my '18 Pro and thought all the extras were worth the small premium, but the new one has gone bonkers.

 

Just curious, where is this taken?
Do I notice a ski lift in the back ground?

 

Excellent.
I thought that looked like The Springs.
We lived there from '88 to '92.
Stetson Hills, other side of the street from the ball park, and east a bit up on the hill.

I thought I saw a ski lift chairs in the back ground, but was mistaken.
The Broadmoor ski area closed down while we were living there.

I assume you escaped the big fire that took out so much of Black Forest and that area.
