Beautiful, simply beautiful!!! The Cruisers are indeed beasts off road and will go anywhere! Have you seen the new FJ Cruisers? They look nice, but I'm sure they're not as capable as the old ones!

I must say those Landrover things do tow well....
Behind a Cruiser :P

Im a staunch ford man...My daily driver is a '91 full size Bronco..the wife drives a 2002 Windstar...My '74 F-250 always starts and is ready to head anywhere to pick up a load of wood...and Im building a '78 bronco into a off road buggy (and there's been umpteen fords come and gone through here). My Dad had a mid 80's full size Bronco he bought new and put over 250,000 miles on the original motor when he traded it in (he changed the oil religiously every 3000 miles). That being said, I bought my daughter a late 80's toyota that had an awful knock in the motor (22re if I recall) ..we had every intention of tearing it down and rebuilding it..she never got the hang of the stick, so I took it off her hands..drove it for over two year with the knock including several 1000 mile trips into canada towing my boat and never had an issue with it till the day it met Mr. Tree. As much of a Ford man that I am, Id never hesitate to by a Toyota again. It was easy to work on and gave us many years of service...

Went and test drove a Yota today just for the heck of it.... nice truck.... quite powerful...surprising even! But not the room inside of my F-250...I know it's a bit different class truck.... but I guess the interior space is what drew me to the Ford in the first place.
If the Toyota stretches it's inside a bit, I could see possibly buying one.

I checked out the Tacoma... The salesman said the Tundra has much more interior space and access, but they didn't have one on the lot. He said they sell as fast as they come in.
I agree, the access was cramped on the Tacoma, and I also felt tight against the drivers door/window with my shoulders. Maybe the seat is too close to the door for inside space purposes???? I dunno. With the window down and elbow out the door it was plenty comfortable.... but that answer just don't cut it with New Englands weather. The dash felt a little "close" too.
Will wait on a call about a Tundra.
