    I'm good with another 4x2 Tacoma. If I was buying it long term, then 4x4 for sure.

    I'm adding a tow package, long bed, and V6. Covers my current short term needs. Won't be using either truck (Tacoma or F150) for offroad use, only reason I went for 4x4 with the Ford was because buying a truck I'll grow into with a second kid, and didn't want to chain up to be in a driveway ever again. With chains I did fine, and I have no plans of taking it to the snow again, so I'm tossing my money on high residual value instead. A little more with the 4x4, but not out of proportion with the extra cost. $2k on one end, $2k on the other, and I went 4 years before being a 4x2 bit me in the ass.

    Yeah but 4x4 offers so much more versatility and its easy to say "I'm not keeping it" now, but then 4 years down the road you realize you want it and you're stuck with another 4x4. I went through about a car every year and half before I got the Tacoma and thought I'd be doing the same thing until I found I loved it. Boo at 2WD

    Not keeping it long term, no matter what. So that's where I went decision-wise.

    Works for me. I'll still hang with you guys at the mall. I'll ride with @Bentrodder on the way to Sbux.

    I'm just glad I'm getting more bed space, and a bigger motor.

    The proverbial cherry on top is I get another color other than white, which is uncharted territory for me. Everything I've ever had is white.
