Tacoxterra

I like the new xterras but they have been accused of being a chick car. They are more powerful though. I think that the Tacoma is more reliable but thats just a feeling.

If I were you I would take the xterra.

I kind of think that the xterra got the wrap of a girl car when they were 2x4's with 4 cylinder 2.4 liter engines built on the frontier body rather than a modified titan body with a v6 4x4 4.0 liter engine. The time for the image to change is now.

do you ever actually use the bed on the tacoma? the xterra is sick but if you use the bed on the tacoma then it is  atough choice.

for sure I would go for it. Having a truck is nice some time though and you never have move people around. I have had several cars including a pathfinder and a 2500 crew cab but right now I have a beat to shit s-10 2x4 and It is glorious. I don't really care about the paint and it has a long bed so I can throw anything in there and it has a v6 that runs really strong so it is a beast.

Long story short a car is pretty much the worst investment you can make and im not claiming but I have the money to have a decent car I just don't give a shit. You should get a cheep car throw your money in a savings account and laugh at all the kids who are driving you around.

hahaha, good point.  That is almost how I feel having a tacoma though.  The only time I use the truck bed is to move rails up and back from skiing preason jibs.  If worsts comes to worst though, I can just leave them up at Alta.  The only other time I use my truck bed is when people con me into moving crap for them.  The nice thing about the Xterra is that now the back cargo space is rubber when you the the seats down, so you have a 6.5 foot truck bed inside your car, so the only other time I use the truck bed, to throw my bike and skis in is taken care of.  I will have a ski rack on top, and a bike rack on the back, and if I needed to put my bike inside, I definatley could.  Now this is why I feel like you: I have a nice truck, which I like to drive, especially offroad, but none of my friends want to take it camping, why? Because nobody wants to ride 4 hours in the xtra cab.  Nobody even wants to drive 40 minutes in an xtra cab, so I don't ever drive, but for some reason I have a 15,000 investment at my house.  I like to drive for some reason, I hate bumming rides, so if I am going to put some money in a car, I might as well have one that I can use. Right?

I say go for it, for sure. Pay off the loan on the Tacoma and put the down payment on the Xterra, because interest rates are so low right now that you could get away with it. Plus, you said it has all the upgrades, and it is 5 years newer. But it's only $600 more than the Tacoma is worth?

I say do it. Keep us updated!

You sound pretty confident in getting 19,500 for the taco, do you have a willing buyer already?? That sounds high to me, you might get 17 for the taco unless you hold out. Kelly blue book your value if you didn't already.

Otherwise I'd say go for it if you don't use the bed at all. I haul dirt/firewood/mulch/stone or whatever else I need to, but none of that would go good in the back of an SUV, if your just looking to haul people then for sure go for it.

i'd watch the xterra cuz the one that we had died at 100000 miles. my mom was the only driver too, so it wasn't driven to shit. 80000 miles is far but u would be driving it more than the taco so its like watever. id keep the truck cuz trucks r def more badass.
