Time will tell, but my money's not on the Jeep.

I can certainly appreciate your differing opinion, but what experience or research has led you to this conclusion? The Jeep is too new to gauge it's reliability against a new Tacoma. One could infer, but with Toyota's slipping and Jeep's gaining in reliability rankings, I think the spread is much less than it used to be. Combined with the JK's class-leading trail performance, I am willing to bank the price of a small house on this vehicle.
Unless you have spent time in a JK on the trail, you have not had the experience of that platforms exceptional capabilities. My experience with Wrangler products has been flawless, with none of my Wranglers experiencing a single manufacturer related failure. Jeep on a whole has improved markedly in the past few years, whereas Toyota reliability rankings have slipped from first place to
FIFTH! in one year. Again, this is not to take anything away from Toyota, and their awesome trucks, but I believe the JK is a winner on several accounts. There is nothing close on trail performance (in stock form) and the availability of the EarthRoamer camper made it an easy choice.
For the most part, your posts regarding any other platform but a Toyota appear to be negative. Why is this? I can certainly respect being pro-Toyota, but why be anti-everything-else?
