I was thinking what would be better upgrading my old 95 PU 2wd V6 or selling it and getting a 04runner 4x4?

For the upgrade, i would get new wheels, tires, racing diff, exhaust, new paint job, new windshield, and a new headlight. New suspension? New interior? and a new spray on liner.

Also might get a pioneer in dash GPS, if i have money.
For the 4runner, i would get an 04 Sport Edition w/4.0v6

Do you want to spend $30K or $5K? Do you want to pay full coverage insurance or just liability? Do you want a monlthly payment?

I say you get the "new" 4runner.

If you look at the return for your money I'd say the new vehicle if you intend to keep it for say 9 or 10 years like you did the 95' is the best investment. If you think eventually in the next few years your going new than I'd say why wait?

Spend $25,000 and get an 05 Tacoma, 4-Wheel Drive, with TRD-Off Road Package.

I'm with Boo. Why spend 25 for used when you can get new for the same price?

Well, it's new but an old model at my dealership
I think i don't want a tacoma because i don't need a truck to replace a truck.
I think i'm just going to wait till i got money for a LX330.
