    I loved this little car a 2010 IS 250, traded it in on my '19. It had 169 k on it and ran like a top and not a speck of rust, however the exhaust pipe was really rusty and was $1700 to replace, no after market available. Was going to need tires soon and decided to get some value out of it after owning it for 5 years and 60k miles. That being said if / when I do need another vehicle it will almost certainly be another Lexus.

    Either a Sierra AT4 w/ 6.2 (almost traded my tundra for one last week) or a new Supra. Decided to keep my Tundra and just buy a Supra when the truck is paid off.

    Now if only Toyota would offer diesels in Tacomas or Tundras in the US. I know Hiluxes are available with diesels in other countries.

    Seriously, haven't thought about anything (or owned anything) other than a 4x4 Toyota pickup since I bought my '94 v6 pre-taco new in 94. And I would want that '94 back. I was devastated the instant I nailed the corner of a 2 story building, as I knew it couldn't come back from that (well, the Explorer that knocked me into the building probably had killed it already). Just devastated. I loved that truck. So I would want that one back, or walk. Yea, I know, the little 3L V6 (same as the Camry at that time) was underwhelming but it was light, compact, and easy to off-road all over the desert. Just a nice little truck.

    Honestly, I'd probably still be driving my 2012 FJ Cruiser, waiting for the Cybertruck. Hate all you want, but I like that Delorean Truck.

    Nope they were different engines. All they shared were the main bearings. The trucks got the 3VZ-E and Camry & Lexus got the 3VZ-FE. The Camry V6 was also a twin cam. I had a 92 Camry SE that I bought new and it was quite quick. It could smoke the front tires if you really floored it.
    My father in law still has a 92 Extra cab 2wd pick up and I'd say it's almost a slug. It didn't feel much quicker than the 86 4-Runner I had with with the 22R-E.

    My old 1951 Ford 1/2 ton that I dropped in a 1959 Lincoln 430 cu. in. engine, it was one wild rat rod, I loved driving that thing, I'm sure it left a lot of people in tears from getting whipped by an old ugly truck.

    If I had to get something besides the Tundra, I'd probably do a Barcelona Red 4Runner TRD Premium with the KDSS. I simply have to have something that can tackle deep snow so I can get out of my driveway. If that weren't the case, I'd kill to have my WRX back. I loved that car.

    Another Tundra. Same second gen, TRD, and maybe the 5.7. If I wanted to drive a car, Lexus LS400L. Screw the V6. If I wanted a gas saver, first gen Acura Integra, special edition gold. If I wanted a muscle car, 70 Monte Carlo Super Sport 454..............and a hundred others...........but today I drive a Tundra here at Tundras.com.

    If I had to buy another truck then it would be a Raptor, but if I had to stick to similar price point to my Platinum then it would be a loaded Ram Rebel.

    I recently traded in my 2014 Jeep SRT (which I absolutely loved) in on a 2020 4Runner Pro. The 4Runner is simply amazing and I love driving it. The new infotainment / push button start / proximity entry all do a really good job of modernizing the rig. The shocks are simply ridiculous and I am now looking at putting the Pro Fox shocks on my Tundra.
