    I would probably be a player for a new FJ 4x4 pickup if they were modernized a bit, with at least 1650 lb payload, 7,000 tow. It would be Toyota's answer to the Jeep Gladiator. Only much better mechanically and more reliable!

    I like the more Jeep looking FJ styling. But I do like the specs of the GX.

    I'd be first in line if they DIDN'T modernize it! :crapstorm:

    The new Tacoma has become too car-like for me. I own an older 2nd gen Tacoma still, somewhat modified for offroad and towing and will be buying new in the not too distant future, hate the thought of having to go thru mods again to get to where I need to be for extended offroad travel as well as towing a sxs or travel trailer several times a yr. Just dreaming I guess.

    Nice 4.5L diesel V8, that would tow like a dream. I keep migrating to the Jeep build page and building out a Mojave to about 59K, but in the back of my mind I know, reliability is out the window with Jeep. the Mojave is near exactly what i need in a vehicle configuration but don't need the Jeep problems that come with it.

    Not the pickup version. But one of my greatest regrets is not buying one of the original FJ's back in the 1970's.
