FJ or Taco
Hello everyone,
I rarely post as there is so much information on the site that i rarely cant find what i am looking for. this site rocks! I really like the new FJ that is coming out, but I dont need a truck and an SUV. I have an 04 Taco. Do you think it would be worth trading in the taco for an FJ? I am leaning towards keeping the taco as it is virtually paid for in full and does everything I need. I do like the idea of having extra interior cargo space that the FJ provides, but maybe a canopy would be a better choice. Let me know what you guys think and any input is appreciated. My taco is below.

As a fellow DC owner.... I say keep the Taco. You might wanna wait untill the bugs are worked out of the new FJ before buying one... Get a snugtop or a canopy if you feel like you need more "interior" room. For me, I like having the bed (even being a "baby bed") of the truck for hauling stuff. I think you'll be happier keeping your Taco... But that's just my 2c...

I would agree with Tacoclimber. Especially when I see your words: "...it is virtually paid for in full and does everything I need".
I struggled between a DC and a Runner myself, and there are many times I wish I even had a baby bed.

thanks for your inputs. after more thought I am pretty sure I am going to kep the truck. its only got 20,000 miles on it and a canopy would be more than sufficient to put that extra ski gear. This season i have been running into some space issues when i pack 4 people into the truck to hit the slopes because everyone has extra clothes and boots and stuff and that makes for a tight fit. the skis and boards go on the rack, but everything else is piled up on laps of passengers. i can also see how even a baby bed can be useful. i guess i can always take off the canopy if i needed to use it.
