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.
In general, I doubt I'll buy anything newer than 2010. The cars/trucks are getting too electrified and computer controlled. They have electronic parking brakes now! What used to be metal engine parts are becoming plastic engine parts to lower costs - but plastic deteriorates over the years of hot cold cycles under the hood. Some cars have dozens of computers controlling various systems on the newer cars/trucks, very expensive to replace and may be made of "unobtanium" in 20 years.
You've got plastic intake manifolds going back into the 90s on some products if i recall correctly.
Yeah, the computer stuff is depressing, even in my 2014 truck.
Not to mention, Toytota trucks are made here in the USA. with lots of US produced parts, built to the legendary reliability.
