yeah i get that :-) I live in the mountains as well as work in them so it's justifiable to me. Pretty sad though my tundra has a faster 0-60 than my renny lmao

If Jeremy Clarkson can drive a Hilux to the North Pole (yes it's modded, but so would any other truck that tries to do the same) you don't need a Tunda for that. I'd undertand if you needed the space in the tray/deck/trunk (whatever you call in in murica) for all your work ****.

I like the Vehicross, very unique. Tundras are cool for a 1/2 ton but pretty useless offroad and apples and oranges compared to any Jeep, even the locked TRD edition is not real capable unless it's mild trails. Now the Taco is another story.

The Isuzu can crawl though. The Samurai is another sleeper trail rig.

The sheer amount of torque it has makes it climb over those boulders like they're nothing!

Because he is all talk. The Vehicross would have been a great seller, it just came out too early.

Whoa dude! Love it, by far better than the 8.

That guy was right Isuzu > Mazda.
Have fun with all that extra torque.

I agree the tundra is not an offroad beast but neither is the ram 2500 or the f250 lol It's really difficult to get 2 dirtbikes or 4+ mountain bikes in the back of a tacoma plus we got our 07 tundra for 5k less than an 05 tacoma! For some reason where I live tacomas are the holy grail of trucks, that and our tundra had about 5k worth of retail body work to be done when we bought it but I am "resourceful" and got it all fixed for $1200 lmao I'm thinking of doing a 13b swap on the tundra though because at 6k it sounds like it's going to come apart! It's true what they say about a rotary it really does ruin all other vehicles for you :-/
