Well . . . the deal fell through. The guy couldn't get enough financing for it. Said the bank would only loan $9200 on it.
So if you know of anybody looking for a super clean ride, send them my way.

If he still really wants it, offer to carry a personal note for the difference. Secure it with something else he owns worth more and without wheels that you may want to own someday. Set the interest rate below usury laws in your state, have late payment penalties and offer early payoff incentives.

Why not sell the Tacoma and get your wife an econobox? With the Runner you could keep all your stuff (luggage, tools, dog, etc.) locked up and out of the weather.

You'll be kicking yourself it you sell this one. I think you should ditch the supercharger, tires and lift. You'll get much better fuel milage.
You're looking at a two year comparison, but if you take the money of the parts you sell and put it against the loan now, then in two years the 4Runner will be almost paid off and you'll still be in the hole with a new car.
That's when the 4Runner becomes cheaper to drive, and you'll have some money left to mod it again if you desire so.
Spending money to get a car to save some fuel doesn't make sense imo. Short term it looks good, but longer term it always costs money. Simply put, the difference in depreciation doesn't cover the gas savings.
The fact that you get a lower payment only means that you'll be paying longer, likely paying more interest.
Sorry for my rambling, I hope I got my line of thinking accross
