    I bought my Tacoma new in 2008 for a work truck. Now it has 233k miles, and still runs and drives just as good as it did 11 years ago. I’d love to get a new truck but I just can’t justify it since mine is still good to go. I’ll probably take it over 300k miles.

    I can buy a 2018 Colorado for 18k US... the Zr2 is an offroad monster. THE DSSV shocks alone are 7k if you buy them from Chevy. Front and Rear Lockers are 2-5k installed. All the stuff that comes with Bison package (you can buy it all individually from AEV) it's cheaper to buy the car(bison) than the parts to upgrade the zr2. The Wrangler or Gladiator is just expensive and is hardly a truck...its a wrangler with a bed. The only rip off is the TRD pro because you can buy a Tacoma Offroad 4x4 and upgrade the suspension for $500.

    Compared to the two Tacomas I previously owned, my 2018 TRD Off-Road was a major disappointment. In town or on the dirt, it was fine. At freeway speeds especially climbing, it was constantly hunting gears and struggled to keep the speed up. Plus it guzzled gas. The 3rd gen Tacoma engine/tranny combination sucked. I traded it for a 2020 diesel Bison. The Bison has power to spare and 40%+ better fuel economy.

I will be putting the Eaton E-Locker from the ZR2 into the front soon myself for around $800 worth of parts. Same tires as the TRD Pro. 47:1 crawl ratio vs 36:1 on the Taco. Fuel economy rating is 18/24. I took the air dam off and installed OEM Zr2 style skids for $330. I bought some used ZR2 sliders for $300 and they bolted right up. At just over $33,000 I am now sitting decent. I may throw on one of the many aftermarket bumpers at some point... Possible the AEV bumper since they are now available. As well as some of the boron steel skids from AEV.

    There is nothing in this video that couldn't be found on any specifications/data website out there (including the manufacturer websites). I was hoping for maybe a snowy hill climb test and stopping distance test...or at least a comparison of the cargo space and how you would fit a weekend's worth of gear in the back. I have friends who drive all three, and I was about to share it with them so they could fight over the results...but there isn't much content here. Cool video of them splashing in the mud, that's all.

A little maintenance and I should be able to get at least 200,000 more miles out of it. My truck is about 95% as capable as any of these 3 trucks are. Plus I wont cry if I scratch it while off-roading. Sure beats paying $60k!

    The Jeep is great . it offers things the other two cant really . Solid axles ,the ability to throw on some 35's on stock , but for me 65k is just too much to spend on a vehicle knowing that youre probably going to do another 5k in upgrades .. The Toyota is the king of reliability . It can handle pretty much anything you throw its way . It has the best resale value , a very strong aftermarket parts presence , but at the end of the day its not as off road worthy compared to the other two with the lack of the front locker . Also I heard the seating position and interior is a little uncomfortable , but I saw with the 2020's they added power adjustable seats so... Lastly you have the ZR2. This is probably the truck I would choose currently . The price is the cheapest out of all three( Ive seen as low as 34k new for leftover models). It has the best comfort for a DD , an optional diesel version , skid plates , award winning suspension , front and rear lockers , and from what Ive seen it can give a stock gladiator a run for its money off road due to the break over and departure angles . Its a tough choice , but I think all three are great trucks and you cant go wrong picking one . If youre looking for the forever truck the Toyota is probably the best choice . If youre looking for the best truck to mod , the Jeep is probably the way to go there . If youre looking for an all around off road capable solid DD you can drive for 5-10 years before you trade it in and get the next best thing , the Colorado is my choice , especially given the price (35k).

    Parked next to a gladiator, it looks strange, like how a ridgeline looks strange...

    The new trd pro green is amazing in person. I ended up ordering a red off road manual last night. Dealership wanted 5k markup on the pro. Fukkkkk that

    I saw the same thing this summer, got my 2019 trd OR right at 40k, they had a Pro on the floor with the oem snorkel and a bed cover for less than 5k more. Thought about it for a minute but decided against it in the end. Unless you mean they jacked up the price based on paint color alone?? I'd give 'em hell for that. I gave the guy hell for the optional 300 dollar floormats and those ~700 dollar side steps. Told the guy I built what I wanted on Toyota's website and optional accessories are exactly that, optional, and that I didn't want any. Manager came out and I had to explain to the guy that it's not a Lamborghini

    Well the Trd Pro may seem overpriced but if you're comparing it against the junk pile Gladiator, it looks like a bargain.

    I love that green color. Too bad you can't get it on the base models, then again at 6'5" I cant even fit in the taco
