The Jeep Wrangler has brought quite a bit of competition over the years, but with vehicles like the Toyota FJ Cruiser and Nissan Xterra falling by the wayside, there are few alternatives today.
In fact, there are no direct competitors.
The Toyota 4Runner is more of a conventional SUV, but it hasn't given up its tough truck side and when properly equipped with the TRD off-road pack it could make a softer alternative to the Wrangler Unlimited.
The 4Runner doesn't offer anything to rival the Wrangler's removable tops or available two-door model, but it can tackle tough trails.
The other alternative is a compact pickup, and the Toyota Tacoma stands as an interesting alternative to the Wrangler.
In top TRD Pro Off-Road guise, it's the most off-road-oriented of the mid-size pickups and it has a more modern feature set—and, we're assuming, better safety.
