It's the other way around, a tracker is a rebadged Suzuki. Most of the good model GM made was actually a Suzuki.

I know, I am having a bit of fun. RELAX. Just like Mr cruiser up there. There are millions more fords and chevs driving around without rusted out chasis on them, I don't know why Toyota decided to use crap metal in their rigs. Oh, I do know, its cheap. just like how they feel.

Well, I know for a fact they only provide the chasis here, you have to pay labour to do the swap on the chasis. Sounds like a stand up company to me. I pass, yet again. JUNK. I would rather buy a vehicle made from proper materials instead of a tin can trying to get lighter to keep mileage good.

Any of the big 3 vechiles are better than any Toyota. LC included. OVERPRICED. By a country mile.

I think you're all missing the point here. It's pretty obvious that the 2000 Ford Explorer is the leader in 4x4 overland vehicles. Right?


Guys?

Wrong.
I know it is easy to make fun about this subject. I should have named this thread Jeep is gaining popularity around the world. It is my prediction that the jeep will lead the world in this market segment world wide soon. My evidence is increased new jeep sales around the world. Jeep tuners, outfitters, are opening up shops around the world. Third party companies like Teraflex have opened sales channels around the world. Also if you look at race events such as Ultra4 racing you will see the popularity of the races has been increasing every year. Most of the vehicles in those races are Jeep based. No doubt that I am enthusiastic about jeeps. I tell you compared to my other vehicles that I have owned my jeeps have been the most fun. One of the coolest things is that if I need something for my jeep I can usually go to craigslist and find multiple listings for things I want or need for my jeep.

Haha, yup you got me there. Aftermarket options for my ride pretty much consists of one suspension lift kit and a few generic rubber floor mats.

Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro vs. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara

As of 2014, the Toyota 4Runner is sold in the U.S., Canada, Central America, Bahamas, Equador, Peru, and Chile. So this is not an Option for me in Europe but it looks nice

Looks like the Toyoyta 4runner has airheater for the rear passangers, I miss that in my Wrangler unlimited because it gets pretty cold back there in the wintertime

My girl and I have a JKU and love it. I made a platform for the rear so the seats are folded down any time we are out.

Toyota Tacoma comparison against Jeep Wrangler

My Wrangler have daytime running light and it is the law here in Sweden and probably the law in hole Europe and I think al Export Wrangler have this function.

We have bigger brakes on the export Wranglers, less braking distance.
I have read that Australian Wranglers have backup cameras as stock.

Actually a lot of vehicles are suffering from rust. Many companies are installing insulation around the cab. It picks up moisture that never dries out. That moisture runs down and eats from the inside out.
Although I like Icons vehicles I prefer ones from Legacy.

You have to excuse me, where I'm from jeep guys doesn't have a good reputation. Lots of trails has been closed because and patrolled by the police on ATVs because, somehow, it seems that every wrangler owner feels like they own the forest and leave trash behind and destroy nature. I saw that kind of attitude within the title and it opened a can of worm.

That's the reputation that the "bro truck" guys (Over-lifted and loud muffler-ed trucks) have here. But they don't get on the trails, it's teens on ATVs that get the trails closed.

I must say that I disagree with what this thread seems to be about. The levels of brand vs brand aggression in the automobile enthusiast community is my least favorite thing about said community. This forum is probably the least bad about that, but it is still here. That being said, I do think that Jeep has really stepped up in the expedition community with the JK. I have noticed them several times outside of the US, and on this forum there are some really nice Jeeps for expedition purposes, even some TJs and other 2-doors. (mine, of course, is the best example of this. /sarc) The point is to enjoy your vehicle and the adventure, no matter what and where that is. All vehicles have advantages and disadvantages for adventure.
I love my Jeep, I like Jeep's history, I like the simpleness, the spartan features, and the ruggedness. I actually like the noise, the poor ride, and the lack of space most of the time. I am a Jeep guy. But I have considered trading it for a Toyota, and while i decided to wait until I can eventually afford a JK I still would consider a Toyota a good platform, a better one in many ways.

Wow that is a first, someone is actually comparing a Toyota Tacoma to a Jeep Wrangler.
