I have owned both and as far as an adventure vehicle use, the LC is the easy choice. Far more comfortable and capable on longer adventures.

building your rig is half the run. That said, the above is a great point. A newer Tacoma with a camper shell would be hard to beat IMO unless you are hauling multiple people. I’m biased. I just got a 2001 taco with a camper shell and love it. Even then with 33” tires and a fiberglass shell and small 2” lift I was only getting 18.5 on the highway. Probably a few things I could do to change that. But the point stands….. gas is a factor. That wasn’t your question though. I regret selling my 80 every time I see one. It was honestly perfect other than the fuel consumption and my constant fear of the HG going (FZJ). I will likely keep this taco forever and finish fixing up and sell my 4-runner to finance a 60 project. But just for fun and tooling about. NOT for cross country travel. But some people do and love it. I’m 43 and need comfort.
