How far will your commute be, if you move to the tri-cities?

You don't want a 4runner? Pretty sure that will tow what you need it to.

Commute for me is to Richmond, but I only have to do that maybe 4 times a month. I work out of town so the vehicle is basically used for pleasure use only. Around town, and back and forth to the North Shore/Squamish for some outdoorsie stuff.
KJ or KK? The earlier one was only made with the diesel. I like the looks of the later one though.
4Runner? I don’t like the Toyota Tax. I did see a decent one with lower K in my price range though. I’m sure it’s long gone by now. V6 is still pretty mediocre on fuel.

I asked cause the shorter your commute, the more you might be willing to spend on fuel.
Pre-07 Tundra V8's get about the same economy as same year Tacoma's and T4R's (maybe less cause lighter). They don't carry the same premium either.
Going forward, if you get a house, you're probably going to find a truck more useful and the cab is sufficient for multiple passengers or a car seat.

The thought of reno's has gone through my mind, as well as other household issues where a truck would come in handy.
This gets me a little excited though. I for some reason have a fascination with diesels too.

I loved the liberty diesels when they first came out. Then I started reading how people were having a hard time sourcing parts. Also, diesels don't like short trips and cold running. You'll see the most benefits on long drives.
One more benefit of getting a truck is, instead of towing a trailer to the island, just load up the bed. Save money on the ferry and easier to maneuver and park. When you go camping, no sleeping on the ground.

Agreed about the short trips, mine takes nearly my entire commute to reach operating temp (a 3L engine warming 10L+ of coolant doesn't help) whereas my old Jeep only took a few blocks. Quote:

If you have the VIN - try running it through here: https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/...527R%2527%2529
That should provide the build sheet and give you a good idea of the options.
At least with the diesel you will avoid problems with failing valve springs and valve retainers, though you will still need to keep an eye on the lower ball joints (especially in our climate).

The other part of the vehicle is all Liberty so easy to source.

That picture was just an example. It is the same though, limited package. The guy seemed to have dropped off the face of the planet, but still sent me his ICBC report. Not sure whats going on there. We will see.
