I am in a bit of a delema. I am going to be picking up a new hunting rig this next weekend and have it down to a couple choices.
I am looking at a new...Tundra (with 4.6 because don't need to tow much)
Tacoma either off road or SR5 double cab
4Runner (SR5)
All three vehicles are within $400 of each other. With the exception of the off-road Tacoma which is about $800 more than standard SR5 Tacoma.
The Tundra give me more room for my growing family but is almost too big for my needs. I also had a previous Tundra and the ride was a little rough. No real need for all the extra suspension for towing just to drive to my jump off spot.
I really like the look of the Tacoma and the size but I worry about the rear seat for my son who is growing way to fast. I am also a little worried about the issues with the transmission. I have friends who have the truck and don't notice it at all and I have driven it quite a bit. I thought it was fine.
My previous huntin rig was a FJ Cruiser and I loved it except for the rear doors. It was great off road and never let me down. I sold it for more than I bought it for. That has me looking at the 4Runner. Almost the same size but better back doors. The main issue is lack of a bed to put dead animals.
I am sold on Toyota. Just looking for any insight people might have.
Thanks for any help.
