Depending on how much money you throw at it. A barbie toy jeep can do what a wrangler can do. The Stock Taco and Tundra, are very good off road vehicles. The Tacoma being the smaller of the 2, would compete closer to a Wrangler. While even in base form, the Tacoma is a very capable off road vehicle. The Wrangler, being smaller, can fit a few places the Taco can't.
You will also be replacing more parts more often on the Wrangler. They are not known for reliability.
The off road aftermarket is great for all three vehicles.
Would really love to own one. Been waiting 50 years.
I second what is telling you. A nice Tacoma 4x4 is just that, nice. They have really good reputations. Which is why they are hard to come by used these days. And you'll pay a premium in the used market.
Dang. I would definitely consider one, they're probably great trucks.
Go with the Tacoma 4x4. Jeep products are problematic, owned by Stellantis and run like Fiat. The Ford Bronco has all kinds of recalls, roof peeling, splitting fuel injectors causing fires - with no solution yet. Too many issues ... hencho en Mexico.
Good grief, pathetic.
Not to mention, Toytota trucks are made here in the USA. with lots of US produced parts, built to the legendary reliability.
To own a Wrangler?
If so, find a older model, swap in an LS and modern trans from a wrecked camaro.
The 4.0 I6, is fair, and if maintained well, and not beat on. Can last a couple hundred K miles. Good luck finding one not beat on and maintained well, unless you are wiling to pay a premium for it.
The new ones (post 2013ish) are made by Fiat... I wouldn't touch a mechanical fiat product with a 10 meter cattle prod.

Had no idea. Sounds like what I've heard about Jaguar, different owner screwed their reputation.
>A barbie toy jeep
What's that?
Oh crap, shoulda known..
