Well I got a lot of good information prior to the tow talk, so all good on my end.

I do wish the 4Runner had the color options like the Tacoma, I'd go with cement if they did. Probably go with metallic grey or white, not 100% sure yet.

While I do like the look of the new Broncos, it isn't something I'd consider (at least not until its been out for a couple of years). And as for how long I plan to keep the vehicle, probably as long I can. I've had the same truck for the past 8 years, which was my dad's prior to that. And the...

I've thought about the camper top but it does at least temporarily negate the point of having a bed. But I think either option would work for me.

Hadn't considered keeping gear cool/heated depending on climate, but definitely a positive over the Tacoma. I do like the 4Runner and most areas it seems to outshine the Tacoma, at least for my purposes. I just wish that it came in more color options like the Tacoma.

Gotcha, and it sounds like the low end torque, if really an issue for the user can be addressed by re-gearing or going with the manual version. And you'd be correct, either one will work well for what I want. Just need to decide essentially between having a truck bed or slightly better ride...

I have taken both for a test drive, and did feel that the seat in the Tacoma sat a bit lower, and slightly more cramped than the 4Runner. But either one is going to be a setup from what I currently have in terms of comfort, and a decrease in seat room.

That's understandable, and while I don't use my current truck bed all that often, it is nice to have.

I take it that the towing ability is lacking due to the drivetrain of the Tacoma? Based on Toyota's website, the Tacoma has the larger towing capacity at 6400 lb while the 4Runner is at 5000 lb. I don't expect the need to tow much besides something like a dual sport or a small trailer, so either...

Thank you for the input, and not sure how bad the old seating was but even in the 2019 I test drove I felt much lower than in the 4Runner. As for the drivetrain, the apparent shifting issues or bad engine/transmission combo in the Tacoma is pushing me away from it. And I had be considering...

Yeah, I could tell that the Tacoma felt a bit smaller than the 4Runner. But I am coming from a full size truck, so either way they both feel more compact to me.

Loving both seems to be the case for a lot of people who have had both. And as for keeping the 4Runner, do you mean keep it along side the Tacoma or instead of the Tacoma? And I take that because the Tacoma is narrower, it can be easier on narrow trails? Though I assume the extra length could be...

I actually just watched that video. It helped some with seeing how they compare off road, though I am curious to see how they both hold up for long on road travels.

I'm in the market to purchase a Tacoma or 4Runner TRD Off-Road, and wanted to get some input on those who have more experience with these vehicles. I had an opportunity today to test drive a 2020 4Runner SR5 Premium and 2019 Tacoma SR5. I enjoyed both, but for the short ride couldn't feel any...

Leaning towards the 4Runner just because I don't really need the bed besides hunting but I figured I can just get a basket that attaches to the hitch of the vehicle, there I could put a deer or hog. Plus after seeing this picture, I'm really liking how a 4Runner can look...
