Thanks once again to everyone. The Tundra does present off-road access problems, but they may not end up being the limiting factor. The Tacoma looks good, and even better if I add the TRD supercharger - which then drives up the price and may require premium gas. Plus I'd want extra bits, like winch, a little lift, bigger tires, etc. The new Chevy/GMC with more horsepower may tow better stock, but may not be as off-road capable out of the box, and certainly after market mods will be limited.
I think what I'd really like is a JKU with a 2.5" expedition lift from AEV and the diesel conversion - but that's just crazy expensive.
I'd like to be able to garage it, and with my garage, the Tundra starts to be a problem. Same thing for anything with much lift and a roof rack. My stock JKR with a Frontrunner roof rack barely fits under the door.
At the end of the day, I'm going to have to make some compromises somewhere in terms of HP, size and mileage.
