Excellent comparison of IFS vs SFA (Jeep on 37s vs FJ cruiser) from a Toyota fan.

Saw this posted over on JL forum. Good comparison and video! Explain the technical benefits and limitations of each platform very clearly.

Great video.

This was a really good watch. I like how he worked so hard to be objective and use measurements where possible but also not discounting the subjective point of, off road being for enjoyment, and sometimes enjoyment isn't 'practical'.

I had no dog in this race but figured id watch the video anyway since y’all said it was good.

man…it wad a great video. I feel like I actually learned something new. Very cool!

Good comparison. Prior to the Gladiator, I put over 100k on a third gen Tacoma. Pretty much everything that he brought up was spot on.

Very good Job on this video review.

Until I bought the Gladiator I was a die-hard Toyota-fan and most of my friends still drive Toyota's this was a good video. I knew I wanted a new mid size truck that could wheel. I drove both a new Tacoma and the Gladiator and their was no comparison in "off-road ability". I am so enjoying the move to the "dark-side" lol.

Great video and solid comparison. My takeaway: Toyotas are great for daily drivers with occasional wheeling so long as you remain stock or close to it. But start modding it and you're on your own.

I back that up with having had a few Toyota trucks over the years (4R's and Tacos) and living with a First Gen TRD Taco that saw extensive fire roads, washboards, and sand wheeling. The saving grace is the Toyota IFS is stupidly easy to work on, as is the rest of the truck. Serious wheelers and overlanders running them typically carry an assortment of spare CVs and front end bits for that reason.

The hardest thing to change on my trucks has always been the starter motor. If you've done one, you know.

Edit: All of that being said, the Mojave would appear to be the best of both worlds- travel, shock absorption and high speed washboard ability.

Exactly why I went from being a toyota guy to a Jeep guy. Excellen’t video.

 

[DailyMoparGuy]

Very good breakdown

 

[Rahkmalla]

Rational, reasoned, and fair comparisons getting views without clickbait hyperbole? That's a nice change of pace.

I wonder how the B6G and BN folks are going to like this info ?

It's been perfect for me. I added the Apex AutoLYNX discs and that made the truck perfect.

B6G won't be able to handle it. Some of them border on cult like vs just being fan boys
