Why is everyone trading in their Tacoma for an FJ?

Vince, you are 100% correct.

Sad that it takes us so long to figure this out.

I went through a period of 6 new Harley's in 6 years. WTF.

And the countless boats...one that I currently have for sale.

Then there were the Corvette's...the latest an 09 that I bought in Feb this year and traded in May.

I've gotta get out of this game.

BTW...when is the new redesigned Tacoma coming out? LOL.

 

I say you're better off moving to an 09+ TRD OR. Same offroad capability, more utility with the truck bed.

FJ's are nice, but I need a vehicle with more uses than just offroad driving. IMO the 09+ TRD OR Tacoma is a better buy for the money - all the same offroad features, but truck usefulness.

 

Hey Coffeesnob what is your avatar a pic of? Just curious...it looks pretty cool to me.

 

I have that disease with my bikes, too....12 different motorcycles in 6 years. One of everything, and for no good reason at all.

3 ZX-10Rs, 1 CBR1000RR, 2 GSXR-1000s, 2 Hayabusas, 2 R1s, SV650, SV1000.

 

You can't put a snowmachine in the back of an FJ. Or a motorcycle... The Tacoma just rocks at being versatile, and its so damn sexy!

 

I wouldn't trade the FJC on a Tacoma but I would definitely like to pick up a Taco as well. The grass is looking pretty green on the Taco side!

The view from inside of the FJ takes some getting use to.

 

i'm not, and i never would. fj's are ugly as hell to me.

 

FJ seems to be very good at very few things, whereas the tacoma is still fun, and practical as well.

 

Fixed that for you.

 

I just couldn't get over the the interior/dash of the FJ. Main thing that really turns me off about them. Not that the Tacoma's is anything special, but the FJ's just looks retarded and goofy.

 

Your going to love your flip-pac!

 

Yeah I'm looking forward to it. I have had 3 trucks and never cared for shells/caps. That will be the only stumbling block is getting used to the limited view vs where I'm at now.

Do you have a flippac? If so how do you like it? Any pics or a link to some pics?

 

x2

 

Meh. I looked at the FJ briefly but the truck much more suits my lifestyle. I don't think I want to haul a dead elk home in an FJ.

 

thanks,. its a picture of a cup o joe and says "driver alert time for a break"...kind of lame I know, but I drink so much coffee it was perfect for me..

 

you forgot a few

 

The wife has been wanting an FJ for the last couple of months. My neighbor had a new FJ for about 3 months and traded it for a used Tacoma recently. The impulse side of me wants to take her '08 Explorer and trade it in but that wouldn't be a financially smart decision at this time. We're expecting our baby in late Sept/early Oct... but maybe next year! But there's no way in hell I'd trade my Taco for an FJ.

 

FJs are cool, but aren't practical at all. At least not for my needs. I love my bed...
