0% interest or not, what Toyota truck is actually worth the price they charge for them new? What truck is worth the price they charge for them new?

I'm good. Got mine a few weeks before they announced they were discontinuing the model. Worth about 10k more than i owe. Very nice looking vehicle, but I've no idea what market Toyota were aiming these at? Are they meant to be an SUV or a "real" 4x4 with the the off road ability to match? There's a dealer in the town we normally go to to shop at. That model is pretty popular around there. I always thought they were competing with the small model Hummer. Now Hummer is defunct so... A serious crawler is not going to Toyota, at least not this version of the Landcruiser.

If Toyota wanted to dominate the off-road market they'd build something about the size of their original pickups, or a jeep-style about the size of a Samurai and include straight axles, EFI (obviously) and some [bleep]' lockers.

I put 330,000 miles on my Tacoma before my son decided to test the airbags. I bought a little Sonoma that gave up with a bad #6 cylinder at 130,000 miles.
Sample of one, but just try to get me to buy another GM........

Travis My Tacoma has a rear locker. I don't keep up with that kind of stuff but I'm not aware of any other trucks with lockers.

Paid $19,000 brand new. 2.7 / 5 speed, still on the original clutch. Was going to replace it, but now its all a game. Maybe when it hits 250K.

Travis Funny, you could go on a dozen different hunting/off road forums and ask people for a wish list for a factory 4x4, and 90% of the answers would be very similar. There might be some variations about size (1/2, � or 1 ton) and body style, but things like solid axles, lockers, Hi/Low box ect would be pretty constant. You would therefore think more vehicle manufacturers would offer vehicles based on those specs instead of �trucks� that have more computers and electronics than an F16, and have plush pile carpeting in the interior!

There is not a car or truck in any market worth what they charge. All of them should be about 80% less in price.

The [bleep]-Jays have electronic lockers. Believe it or not, my 99 4Runner Limited has an electronic locker in the rear diff. Fuggin' thing will go places you shouldn't be going, but like all Toyota owners you already know this. The Rubicons have front and rear air lockers. Travis

Been thinking about getting the wife a Corolla. They had one of those sitting in the showroom and that is a nice little car. I think it was under $20K. Travis

My hunting and fishing buddy has an FJ all tricked out with winch and skid plates plus extras. He swears by it.
We can carry 9' fly rods from tailgate to windshield without breaking them down.

PS. He actually got to pull my 2500 Silverado out of a mud bog that he had already gone through. Pissed me off!

Probably headed to West Texas next year, into rough country. Debating on fixing up the 04 F150, or getting something to throw on a trailer & drag behind the 2014. My headache is my serious off-roading starts after 3-400 miles on the interstate, so a crawler, even street-legal, is not a good plan.

The FJ isn't my truck. My truck is 72 ford, I'm the second owner. The FJ does day to day plus hauling jet ski, Honda ATV, trailer duty etc. Living in SC, I do everything possible to avoid red clay mud that we call dirt. Gets up into everything, hardens and expands. I don't look to intentionally abuse something that cost 30k. Probably why I still have a 95 Honda 300 and a 72 Ford that crank and run.
