    Hey everybody.
    I've been gone a while, but I've come back to ask a question.
    My family owns a Toyota dealership in GA, and I work there when I'm not in school. I've noticed something. Out of 15 tacomas we have on the new-cars lot, ONE is a 4X4. This has been the case for a while, 4wd tacomas just don't sell as well in our area. I always assumed it was because of the price difference.
    But then we got a few of these Tacoma XSP's (see thumbnail)
    They sell like hotcakes! (we pre-sold 2 of these things out of 4)
    They are 2wd and cost almost as much as a 4x4, and are marketed as being good off road.

    Pros:
    They look pretty sweet (maybe except the XSP decal)
    They come fully loaded with JBL audio, premium trim, etc.
    Cons:
    2wd, and the pricetag

    People of tacomaworld, would you buy one? Why or why not?

    Gimme a 4x4. I'll do without all the fancy trim. Spend the money on specific things you really want afterwards.
