    Hey everyone,

    Recently put my 2019 Tacoma TRD OR 4X4 up for sale, replaced with a 2002 Honda Insight and a 2005 4Runner V8 Limited 4X4. :pout:
    20220206_172852_edit.jpg

    I picked up the Insight for a steal back in Dec., and at ~65mpg I found that I wasn't driving the Taco hardly at all. My wife has an MDX that we use most of the time. I have a few other vehicles too. Just didn't make sense to have such a nice truck just sit there.

    The Tacoma is an amazing vehicle. It just doesn't make sense right now. It kills me to sell it, I bought it new and it is exactly what I wanted.

    Fortunately the 4G 4Runner is a pretty awesome vehicle, and I scored a pretty healthy V8 model with good bones and good history for a decent price in '22.
    I'll be doing front wheel bearings, timing belt WP etc, XREAS delete, 5G OR wheels, 3G Taco dampers here shortly.

    Anybody else come to the 4G 4r from a 3G Taco, or have a 3G Taco? What do you like about one vs. the other?

    Glad to be here.
