In Canada you cannot find a TRD Off-Road but found one 12 hours away. Either wait 4+ months out east here or try to find one further west. Hopefully will pick it up end of next week. Bronco was more fun to drive but it's never a good idea to marry a stripper.

I purchased a 2022 Bronco Badlands 2-door and have put 23,000 miles on it trouble-free. I drove it 1,200 miles to Moab, did Hell's Revenge, Fins&Things, Onion Creek and Top of the World and drove it back home 1,200 miles without issue. I rock crawl the Bronco at the GRDA Disney, OK. off-road area at least every month and have never broken anything. My Bronco will get me to places no 4Runner ever did. My 2003 is a V8 that I've added 4.88 gears and ARB air lockers f&r, lifted and cut up to run 35's. It is no longer reliable for hard trail riding because I just break CV axles trying to go over most obstacles (I know I probably jacked it up too much myself, but fixing the suspension will cost $$ at this point). I use the Bronco as my daily and trail rig now and keep the 4Runner for sentimental value and hauling dirt for the wife's garden. Will the Bronco last 300,000 miles like a typical 4Runner?? Heck No. Will I keep it that long to find out?? No again. The 4Runner design is excellent and will always be coveted because it is capable and reliable, but these new Bronco's actually add FUN back to the equation which the 4Runner is sorely lacking.

My brain says get a 4Runner but the heart says Bronco. It would be a daily driver so I’m concerned about it having issues that will have it in the shop a lot.
