    I feel like I should have more. And you, as my consigliere, are not to convince me otherwise. Which is why I hired you in the first place. I’m also considering throwing ops ficus through his living room window, and then stumbling into the neighbors lawn to pass out.

    Edited to add that if we ever meet up in real life one or both of us is going to either end up in the hospital, or jail, or dead - or all three in that order

    I may do something like this eventually. A deer (or two) should fit pretty well.

    Would look good with a horse on there.

    Not a dead one. An Unkilled one with one of those face buckets full of food.

    ^^^Astute observations.

    4Runner hype is just that. A vehicle that is very limited in its usefulness compared to a 4-Door minitruck. The new Ranger would be a better option to explore if you don’t like your Taco. Besides, only nerds drive 4Runners. Who wants to be a nerd?

    I think the 4Runner is better in every way. EXCEPT it doesn't offer a manual transmission. If it did, id shitcan my Tacoma for one today. How useful is a 5 foot little bed anyway?

    I went from 4runner to Tacoma, and back to a 4runner.

    Buy what you like! They're both fine vehicles.

    Anyone here trying to shit on one or the other is a dipshit. Different vehicles for different preferences.

    I had a 98 Tacoma, a 2000 4dr 4wd, a 2008 Pre-runner, and a 2018 Sport 4wd. All in that order, and over the span of 21 years. Nothing in between. And I got a SR T4R two weeks ago. I'm gonna say, without a doubt, I should have been driving this or one of these 4-5 years ago. No questions asked.

    I think you shouldn't buy a 4runner...










    You should buy an LC200 :D

    If you are hauling garbage, dirty things, dead things, oily things, wet things, stuff you don’t want in the cab when you slam on the brakes, or (most importantly) noisy rattling things, the 5 food bed is a godsend. Especially with a canopy.

    Agree with the holy grail comment. I traded my ‘17 Off Road Tacoma for a ‘17 4Runner. I like both vehicles for different reasons. Be sure to test drive any potential 4Runner at 60-65 mph for the wobbly steering wheel.
