i think they both would perform about the same.
the tacoma would just be more expensive lol.
and im pretty sure that the tacoma manual tranny's and tcase's are a little weaker than the 90's style.

My '92 has almost 100K on it and the tranny is tight and quiet, kicks ass on the beach, so does the Taco though. The TRD is pretty sick, rides like a dune buggy, plus has the E-locker, never used it though.

Mostly all in your own taste.... the tacoma will prove less rough of a ride than other pick-ups.... the IFS is very tought and solid and still not as bad a rough ride as solid axles....with a solid you have a tougher front end with less parts to give trouble... but the ride is purtty rough.... it depends on the engines, trans and gears too.... the 3.4 and 3.0 would pull ya alil more up that hill or rock..... all motors and trans reliable as hell...... hmm tought to say i'd have to say a tacoma is a bit to nice though id take a reg pre 95 truck...

Aren't the older ones easier to pop big tires onto without lift? My choice would be an 85, solid axle efi, easy to lift compared to IFS, and better articulation.
Of course, it also depends what kind of wheeling is being done. For mud running I would prefer IFS for the better clearance for example
