150% of NADA or (KBB) Retail is actually far better than 150% of the book dealers use for appraising a car: Galves . (
IF they are giving you a set number for your vehicle that you can apply towards the
negotiated price of a new vehicle. If it is against list then they are not doing you many favors). It is possible that the numbers you would see would be close to or even over twice the wholesale "Actual Cash Value" you would receive on a trade in. So if you are thinking about it, this could be a good time. If you wait to long and all the sudden there is a glut of frame repaired older Tacomas out there that KBB value that they base those numbers on will in fact fall and your 1.5 multiplier would be based on a smaller number - thus less overall savings...
BTW - I'd do the FJ it had more tow rating...
