I'm starting to think I should just trade it in or sell it, and get a reliable 4x4. Again, I'd like a pickup but I do tend to gravitate toward the usually more expensive Japanese offerings, and I can't put much more into a new purchase than what I get out of the Mazduh (KBB says $3,600). I've seen Cherokees with less than 100k miles for less than $5000, so that seems like a good idea, and I hear reliabliity isn't too bad (and that you can get about 20 mpg if you're good...that's a little less than what i get now!). Again, it's been hard to find one with a clutch though. I just don't understand how old Tacomas with 200k + on the clock can still fetch prices of more than 5k!

Any other suggestions for a solid, reliable 4x4 with decent (~20mpg) gas mileage (and hopefully a 5 spd)?

Thanx for the help guys!
