Looking at the Tacoma and 4Runner. Which one is the best to buy and why? Pros and cons of each.
Thanks

At the risk of sounding like a smartass, but aren't they identical? Except one is a pickup truck and one is an SUV? No. The engines are different.

I like the way the new 4runners look, but please put a leveling kit on it.

2015 4Runner here. Definitely needs some levelingbshocks as there isn't a leveling kit out for it yet. I love the vehicle though.

The 4-runners are on a Tacoma frame & drive train and really if you want to haul something you can do it with both depending on what it is
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

Truck for me, I haul too much hunting stuff and dead stuff to deal with an SUV. I have a 2011 tacoma, wife has the SUV. We always haul things in mine. If I bought the 4Runner, it would haul hunting stuff and dead stuff.

Buy one but don't buy new.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I drive a Yukon Denali, I've put 2 dead elk in it and probably 20 deer, and no telling how many dead turkeys. I've also put dead deer/turkeys in two different corvettes, a cavalier, an astro van, and some kind of oldsmobile like car my mom use to have. I like an SUV, because I can camp out inside of it if I need to and it keeps all my stuff dry. To me, a truck is only better for hauling something like an atv that won't fit inside an SUV.

Buy one but don't buy new. The only way I won't buy new is if there's something wrong with the current year's model.

Or chain saws that turn over and gas spills out of? Trucks are good for work and hunting. SUV is good for hauling rugrats, vacations, and light hunting.

I actually haul a lot more than just dead stuff and I prefer to use the truck bed vs a trailer to haul things. I had 1 SUV for about 6 months before I dumped it.

Out of those two, if it were me, I'd get the truck with a nice camper shell. Kinda the best of both worlds and I think a camper shell looks good on a small truck.

Thanks If it's going to be anything like you choosing a bow sight, do all your homework, ask a ton of questions, pick one out, and then buy the other one.

If I bought the 4Runner, it would haul hunting stuff and dead stuff. I did that with the 1 SUV I had and got tired of trying to keep it clean when I knew I coulda just thrown stuff in back of a truck. It's really just personal preference.

I like BibbHunter's phrase "light hunting." Describes what I do to a T.

On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

I got a 16 tacoma. Definitely not a powerful as the 2nd Gen but it still does fine. Get 18-20 mpg and have pulled upwards of 5000 pounds and it did surprisingly well. It is a little sluggish in acceleration tho The 4Runner I drove felt more responsive than the Tacoma.

Thanks My 2014 Double-Cab Long-Bed comfortably seats 4, and can haul all the muddy-bloody stuff in the back. With a tonneau cover, nothing back there gets wet. Or you can put on / take off a topper if need be.

If you need a truck get a Tacoma, if you need a grocery getter get a 4 runner.

I wanted to go the Tacoma and camper shell route, but it drove like crap. The 4Runner drove way better. I'm gonna keep my truck, so that's not an issue.

We've got a 2016 4Runner. Great ride, no regrets. I also owned a 2006 4x4 Tacoma, and it was a great truck until I totaled it last November. Both are good - I reckon it just really depends on your need.
