    It's not much different than the Sport vs. Off Road debate. People are going to make reasons and justify why what they bought is better. If you like what you bought and it suits your needs, don't worry about what anyone else thinks.

    I like PreRunners and they have their purpose, but I think the 4x4 "pedestal" exists as de facto proof that having the goods is more important than appearing to have the goods. Which is exactly why I roll debadged.

    All I can say is that it is better to be a 4x2 brawler than a 4x4 parking lot poser. If you have the switch, you better have a reason.

    I had a reason.

    same shit as everyone else
    I pulled a lifted prerunner out from being stuck axle deep in the sand last week. He was worried i would get stuck to0... nice when you can spin your front wheels... if you want a 2WD then get a five lugger...

    Douchbaggery comment. See my post above. Prerunners are quite capable trucks on fair off road trails. More so than a 5 lugger. Some people need the extra clearance, but not the front diff. Others may like the look. Its up to the guy whos handing the money over.
