Im torn between the two

Well i just cant figure it out. I have the opportunity to chose between two yotas, I got my 4runner and love it but my step dad has a car lot and got a 95 extra cab that i really like. Its a little rougher around the edges (bodys strait but just a few little things mechanically) and i just cant decide. I really want the pickup because thats what i originally wanted but i love my runner. what do you guys think

Specs
95 4runner sr5 limited. bj spacers and 3 in procomp springs in the back. new wheels and 33 12.5 toyo mts. auto add 140000 mi

95 extra cab dx. 2 in body lift with 31 10.5 5 spd manual hubs. 150000 mi
Both have the 3.slow

Both? Is that a possibility?

Just suffer the lack of cash for a while, then you'll be pumped to have 2 sick yotas one of which can be a trail truck be beat on.

x3, i just got a dedicated trail rig.. ive havent driven it yet due to its lack of engine-ness but i can already tell it will be great.

if you cant get both, i would stick with the runner unless your tied to having the truck for some reason i would rather have a truck but thats jsut me

Dont quote me, but id be willing to say the truck is lighter, which in turn might be a couple more MPG...
Just a thought...

I'd like a runner, just to top the back off of though...
Im a pickup guy..

x2...Did this after a car accident when my hands weren't even working properly (nerve damage). You can find them for$50 or so.


Truck will be better offroad (lighter and less top heavy), get better gas mileage and be able to haul cow turd around (if you're a farmer) but you can sleep in the back of a 4Runner, carry 5 people, safety store your fishing rods/ skis, and keep more stuff dry in the back of a 4Runner.

I'd go for the truck personally, the manual tranny and hubs would be the nail in the coffin for me.

I'm a truck guy tho, so my opinion is a little biased.
