I wanna sell my f150 for pic related. Thought I'm also considering trading mine in for a base model single cab with a camper shell in 4x4.

FJ interior? What's a good price for a pre owned? I see them at my local dealer for ~25-30k
Parker Nguyen
>get a full-size
No thank you. i have no need for a fatter truck when a tacoma good enough.
Ayden Green
what about that big nasty blindspot between the rear windows and the rear windscreen? GL merging
Noah Wilson
>what are blind spot mirrors
Michael Young
Jimny!
Ayden Ross
Had an FJ, you do have to be careful when merging. You get pretty good too, knowing where the cars around you are (the mirrors are a bit on the small side to be truthful).
If the car enters in your blindspot, and stays in your blindspot, if you don't use your mirrors right or phone it in, you're boned.
Not impossible, but hard(er) than many vehicles, yes.
Anthony Fisher
you realize the tacoma is actually longer, and is only 3 inches narrower than an f150 right?
Samuel Morales
Maybe one day I can import one
Julian Reed
>good enough
you mean under-powered, gas guzzling, cramped inside, and just as/if not more expensive?
Blake Gonzalez
The tacoma when doing apples to apples comparisons is NOT longer, it's 3in narrower, per side, and a bit lighter than a fullsize truck.
Midsize trucks in 2018 are juust about the size of fullsize trucks in 2000, but there is a difference in size and cost vs the big burger trucks.
They're easier to park and fit in garages, and you can get a fully loaded one cheaper than an equivalent 1/2ton, and a "nicely" loaded one cheaper than a "nicely" loaded 1/2ton by like a
$10,000 gap.
Cameron Edwards
Yes but unlike the Tundra it's not 3/4 ton sized with a half ton drive train
Adam Bennett

Depends on the package, mileage, and condition. If you want anything half decent, expect to spend at least 25K.
I'm a leaf and I spent $30K on mine a year ago, with 90,000km. It's an Adventure package so it has a lot of options, but it was also in great condition and Toyota Certified.
You're best to look at 2010+ models, they came with the upgraded 1GR-FE engine good for 260hp, as opposed to earlier models with 239hp.
You just do an awkward lean/shoulder check in front of the B-pillar to make sure you don't smoke anyone. Plus it has really large mirrors so keeping track of cars around you isn't that hard. I've never hit anyone or even come close.
It wouldn't be any worse than driving a fullsize panel van, or a truck with a cap on the back. If anything it's easier, FJs are fairly short/stout and easy to move around.

The renegade might be a shitty crossover but at least it's an honest attempt at a real somewhat capable off road vehicle.
I wish that the trailhawk version had a manual option and they had real locking or limited slip diffs

how? i average 19 - 22 MPG City, that's good.

not a problem unless you're over 250lbs

Feels like i'm getting more in this truck than I would for a garbage Chevrolet Colorado.

Not hating or anything, but why the hell is nissan so slow when it comes to updating their shit? seriously, that design is almost 13 years old.
Is it because they share the same mentality as toyota where if it aint broke don't fix?
Nathan Robinson
Kevin Cruz
The new gen is just too big, it's barely smaller than an F150, may as well just get the F150.
Nathan Robinson
I dig mine
Gabriel Williams
Thing is they've already updated to the D23 about 3 years ago, it just hasn't made its way to North America yet.
Colton Morales
I don’t get it either man. The only upside is that I got this for much cheaper than an even older Tacoma. It’s a shame that the Frontier and Z are getting outclassed.
Austin King
Don’t understand why they couldn’t have brought over the Panda 4x4 and been done with it
Chase Thompson
Is the new 3.5l v6 taco slower than the last gen 1gr fe 4.0l?
Engine produces same hp apparently, so is less displacement of new one made up for with other newer better engine tech? Is it alot better on gas?

That's the gas mileage I get in my '17 f150 with the 5.0 v8 lol

Most of you don't understand the concept of "adventure vehicle." Something that's efficient yet can handle most paths. Like a RAV4 or Subaru. Even a lot of the cuck crossovers are better options than your dirt haulers.

ftfy my man. Best option would be a medium diesel SUV which has a range that hoses a Corolla or Impreza on stilts.

this isn't an insult or anything, it's your money, use it how you want.
but uh, i'm trying to understand why people buy the TRD sport to then turn around and convert them into offroad rigs. it's a fairly common practice in this state and I cant figure out why. the trd offroads are practically the same price, and they come with a better suspension package, basic undercarriage armor, and a rear locker.
is there some strategy here that I don't understand? do people just like the hood scoop?
Jaxson Evans

Parker White
Thought a TRD sport can be had at like 33k, and TRD pros in the 40s?
Payment difference is possibly significant for some people. Lump sums dumped into choice components of larger than 31in tires, etc, as needed. VS a high minimum that shows up every month.
Nicholas Campbell
the offroad and the pro are different trims, and the offroad starts at pretty much the same price.
the pro is just an offroad with fox suspension and some style changes. waste of money imo
James Ward

Robert Lewis
Regarding what I can get in the US; probably the Lexus GX or the Infiniti Q56/Nissan Armada. Japs build the best off roaders.
Still, I'm quite tempted to get a new Ranger and out fit it like pic related even though it's stupid as fuck because I'm trash.
Lincoln Gray

Grayson Foster
I wish they sold these in the US. Would it really be that hard for Toyota to outfit these with side airbags and reinforce the doors with an extra 2 foot piece of steel to sell them here?
It'd be the only legit Wrangler rival.
Austin Long
They do have side airbag these days. Given they cop a 5 star ANCAP (Australasian) safety rating, I can comfortably say its safety is not what's keeping it away from the US domestic market. Like most developed countries, there's a strict compliance assessment for each model of vehicle which is expensive, and not worthwhile for a vehicle that's not expected to sell well.
Christian Morris
Full size trucks dont fare well on the mountain trails on this state. Overgrown shrubs make short work of the clearcoat on wider vehicles, and tight courses make for lots of 8 point turns. Stick to old beater vehicles if you want a full size off roader.
My taco pulls my 26ft travel trailer and my little boat just fine. And to get a similarly optioned ferd i'd have to spend 20k more. Nothing agaisnt full size, but i dont need one

Bought a taco after my FJ was totaled. I wish I just bought another FJ. Go for it if you dont need a lot of rear room.
