Toyota will tell you....the Landcruiser is a 25 year vehicle. Watched a show the other night were a guy bought an old 100....and then had it gone over. Pretty much a complete teardown to do the looking. Complete suspension, some engine parts, electrical issues addressed, trans rebuilt, fuel pump and a few other parts that kept arriving in brown boxes... and then he was on his way....

I would keep it the 2nd gen tacomas are bullet proof You can get 250000 miles easy why have a car payment? car payments are insane 600 to 10000 dollars a month I have a 2015 and there is nothing more dependable. The new Tacomas, gen 3 are having problems........There is a reason the resale value is crazy.

Well last week I drove my 95 tacoma with a 2.7 4cyl and 5 spd down to my neighbors repair shop and had some major work done After 17 years and a total of 243k the dang thing needed a clutch and a muffler & tailpipe Had them put on new mirrors and a windshield, o2 sensor and a couple of tires about $1700. When I paid the bill he told me I could leave it on the lot and it would be sold in 3 days for atleast 6k. I laughed and said 17 years a go I paid 7k for it with 77k miles I said guess I waited to long to get all my purchase price out of it I don't know what else a guy can drive so inexpensively forever. Yeah call me a taco fan they are the best fu*k the rest. Mb

I talked to a guy last night that pulled up in a new TRD Tacoma, and I've watched him drive compact Toyota pickups since I was a little kid. I said "You must buy a new one every 20 years, whether you need it or not." He said, "Yep, but I kept my 2000 model too. They'll bury me with that thing."
Now with even more aplomb

It was a great little truck and one of the better vehicles I've had in the snow. But...it was tiny.

Only way I'd sell my 99 is maybe to get a 95-97 Landcruiser FJ80. 2nd gen tacos are nice, but had weak rear diffs and that 4.0 is a gas pig.

I just bought a 1998 100 series land cruiser yesterday. 2 owner Colorado truck, I’ve been looking for almost a year. Good ones are harder to find than a Tacoma and hold value just as well.

Well, I can tell you this, they only seem to be increasing in value.
On leased Tacomas some aggressive dealers are offering people cash over the buyout to get late model low milage Tacomas on their lot. hard to believe the popularity of that truck.

Keep the Tacoma and run, I currently own two Toyotas one tundra and one Tacoma the Tacoma is an 2001 with 276,000 miles on it runs and drives like a new truck , Only complaint would be I have to replace the oil pan on it now truck is solid as a rock otherwise but it is like a 10 hour job they have to drop the front end just to get to the pan
