Thanks James. That was my thing in selling the F150, didnāt need a 1/2 ton any longer. With a move to the city surely I could get by with a compact car? I can, but only if I donāt want to leave the city for any length of drive.
Any second guessing the downsize at all? An F150 was the best car Iāve ever owned & while I regret downsizing one size too small, a full size truck in the city I think might not be ideal. A midsize might be just right.

Aside from the full time AWD on the limited there are a few other things it looks like youād give up. HUD & power running boards. Limited has adaptive variable suspension option. Iād go limited myself, but Iām a ātick...
Good luck with it! Honestly shopping for insurance there sounds awful & I thought it was bad enough here. I wonāt disagree, Iām sure there are many eBay resellers at UPS every day not claiming business use. Itād suck though if insurance denied a claim & Iām sure they look for every piece of...
The trips to the UPS store are business use arenāt they, or is this just personal pickups? Which non-personal use typically has to be disclosed to your insurance company, at risk of them denying a claim of course if you donāt, though Iām not certain of the specifics there. Iām not sure how...
Got any good pics to share? Sounds like a great purchase for you! Though you mention a CX-5, your vehicle I notice is an F150. How does the Taco compare to that can I ask? A much loved (& shouldnāt have sold) F150 is still my gold standard for all other vehicle comparisons.
Not boring. Always interesting to read othersā thought processes & reasoning to see where their head is at. Might help narrow down a guyās own thoughts. Iām here & still havenāt decided on Taco vs. LC. Vs. 4R. Maybe GX? Or stick with Ford & go Ranger. So I hear ya for sure on jumping...
Wow thanks. Donāt recall if Iād put the LEDs in the opener before programing my current vehicle or not. So I canāt say I wouldāve had this issue, but if ever I did, this wouldāve been about the last thing Iād have thought of.
Even my Ford sales guy said for my priorities the Bronco wasnāt probably the way to go as his wife has one. If I could have one as a 2nd fun car Iād do it.
Now maybe a follow-up question. Coming from a Bronco did you check out the Ranger at all? I read good things about it, even if Toyota...
Thanks for your honest review of the Bronco. I keep looking at them thinking itās the logical & emotional move up for me, except for the fact that my greatest reason for moving up the car ladder is to have a better highway vehicleā¦.
Unfortunately youāre not missing anything. Theyāre always way behind. No B&P for the LC yet either. Iāve seen others far behind too, but none quite like Toyota it seems.
Thanks for taking the time to write it all up. It sounds like a lot of small things, the sum total of which I sure wouldnāt want to deal with either. Initial impressions can certainly make or break a vehicle for you, Iāve definitely experienced that. Glad youāre liking the Toyota! But...
I wish you well with the GX! A very compelling choice indeed, Iām certainly also interested in an OT+. Truck vs. SUV would seem to be a completely easy decision o start narrowing down your purchase decision a bit, but surprisingly itās not. I have to agree with your assessment, for the way...
