Prerunners don't need 4WD
In fact there are some smokin deal out there right now.
The best way is to buy a very good used truck (with a good drive train and good interior package) if it has dents no big your gonna cut it up anyway and mount glass, and end up with a bad ass Prerunner.
With all the extra stuff you want that will hold up and suck up bumps like a Cadillac. Its value added, The Raptor is a fine truck.......but, spend that amount of coin to pull a lot of $hit off that you would want to upgrade (front & rear fenders, bumpers, shocks,rear spring pack, upper & lower A arms, Diff, seats, stereo, wheels & tires etc...) That is money wasted. For most that have purchased a Raptor it is fine for them and the type of off roading they do. I would not be content, for the average Prerunner enthusiast it is a never ending project. 8-10k for the front 18" travel 8-10k for the rear 21" travel & Diff, cage, seats, light's, performance upgrades, the list go's on. I only have 14" up front and 12" in the rear, and on the same run my front sucked it up and the rear bucked. in the near future I will have 18"-21" in the rear
Then I would like to cage it and so on.........
