You better hope that ruber timing belt in the Tacoma has been changed to a chain, if not it is a ticking time bomb waiting to destroy the motor. I've had both vehicles, and each one had their quirks, and each one had their strong points.

Of the 2 you are looking at I would go with the Tacoma, as I mentioned above, simply becasue of the fuel injection. The 80's model Jeeps are not the best, a 1991 and up Wrangler is what I would be shopping forif you wanted a Jeep. They have strong leaf springs and stronger frames, galvanized frames so rusting isnt an issue, fuel injection, and a more powerful 6cyl.

Sure some of them go a long time, but MOST don't. History proves the toyota is much more reliable than a jeep. Most toyotas will go a few hundred thousand miles, most jeeps will not even come close to that. Just because one person has a yugo with a million miles does not make a yugo a reliable car.

I STRONGLY disagree with most of you. Some Jeep may be underpowered but mechanical reliability is not typically an issue. If you really think a Tacoma has the same or better resale than a Jeep I'm not going to change your mind but your wrong.

KBB has the Jeep Wrangler as having the second highest resale value, second only to....toyota tacoma.

I do not believe toyota makes an interference engine, honda does, but not toyota. Meaning if the belt broke than it does no damage, just have to put a new one one.

You can work the statistics any way you want, you know like a democrat.... I just looked on Craigslist and most of the people's opinions on here are incorrect. The price for a 1995 jeep that actually runs was $3500-19995. There were zero that's right zero 4wd toyotas for sale that ran.

So, what does that tell you? I know exactly what it tells me.....

Taco, hands down. Jeeps, in my opinion are overrated and in most cases over priced. The Taco's hold their value like crazy. For example We sold the wife's 2006 4wd V6 taco that had 134k miles for 16k last year. I could be biased though being I have never been a fan of the Jeep.

Overpriced means the same thing as hold their value but with a lesser opinion of the overpriced object in one's mind.
