I traded my '08 Sierra for my '12 JKU. Sometimes a truck would be nice and I will probably get another for my next vehicle. For now I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this thing.

Why not just get both? Get a newer Jeep and an older Taco. I have both.

Just traded from a Megacab Dodge to a 2014 JKRU and let me tell you, there's days I miss having a truck. Trucks have a lot more room and they have a bed. I love my Jeep but I miss the truck. If I was choosing like you said between a Tacoma or a JKU I would get the Jeep, a Tacoma is too small to be really considered a truck IMO they aren't good for much other than small loads, no real seating, cargo, and tow cap. Go with the Jeep!

I went from a truck to an SUV. Never regretted it. You can get a trailer with more capability for hauling than most trucks.

I feel your pain trouty33. I also went from my dream super duty to my jeep. But looking back on it, I have no regrets. I've had more fun working on my jeep than I ever had helping people move. The taco is pretty small and you aren't gaining much more hauling capacity over a jeep. And like everyone has said, rent a trailer, or go to harbor freight and pick up one of those folding trailers if you need to hail anything larger. Or do what everyone else that doesn't have a truck does...ask someone with a truck for help.

You can always rent a truck from Home Depot for next to nothing if you need to haul something really heavy.

And, if you off road, you'll prefer the turning radius of a Jeep vs. a truck. Even the JKU turns tighter than most pick ups. I saw a Dodge Dakota trying to negotiate a trail once, even after multiple attempts, there was a section that he couldn't get around. The truck was just too long, which also hinders break over angles as well.

Ha!! You know..... that has never occurred to me. I've seen those trucks many times, but it just never crossed my mind. That's a great idea.

Yeah, I realize that there are trailers that will haul more than what a Tacoma will haul, but isn't the towing capacity of the Jeep pretty limited? Like 3000 lbs or something like that?
