    I bought a 2011 Tacoma 4 door TRD sport 1.5 yrs ago. Everytime I see the new Ford FX4, it makes me wish I bought that instead.

    The new fx4 is a nice truck, I definitely like the new factory HIDs they out I them. Do you like the ecoboost or the 5.0?

    Maybe you should have bought a Tundra instead? Just enjoy what you've bought. It's a great truck! I've owned Fords, Dodges, GM's and Toyotas. The ones that stay in the driveway the longest are Toyotas.

    Two guys I work with - one has a new FX4 eco boost and another has a brand new ram 1500 (if you thought the new F150s are nice, these things are even nicer IMO).. I am definitely jealous.

    I just keep reminding myself they are paying $200+ more a month.

    That's the only thing holding me back...the price! I haven't driven the F150 yet, but they sure look nice. I know Toyota probably has superior quality, but..............very tempting. I read that the new Ram is supposed to be real nice too.

    If you don't like it, sell it. Tacoma's have fantastic resale value.

    this and that...
    ford make nice stuff, especially since their turn around. 5.0 stangs, ecoboost f150, powerstroke superduty (always been). the thing about ford, their resale value is basically non exisitent.

    Stick to the Toyota, if you need bigger then go Dodge or Chev or Tundra. You will never see a Ford in my yard, Im a Automotive reapir guy and 75% of the vehicles through are shop door is Ford. Just my 2 cents worth.

    Keep the Yota and be proud. I have had several ford trucks including the big f250 king ranch and I like my little Yota better than any ford I have owned. Resale on the Yota is second to none.

    The new fords are awesome. There is a reason they have outsold every other vehicle on the road for the last 3 decades.

    So put an FX4 sticker on your fender.

    Drive an FX4 without putting some mechanic's kid through college.
