I'd pay extra to be picked up in a Runner. Really bad mileage for a taxi though!

Offroad taxi service would be an interesting idea...

Taxi-Driver: "Where ya going?"
Passenger: Ever run the Rubicon?

He or she would have the advantage of taking shortcuts. Curbs, road dividers, etc.

I think it's a disgrace when people turn decent cars into taxis. They should stick to the typical taxis, like the impalas, malibus, caravans, etc...

What an ugly 4Runner. How would this be considered practical...

Is there somewhere that rents 4runners? specifically to OFFROAD in?

As for all the other posts. Ugly and inefficient for a taxi is right, I mean the taxi driver gets to chill in a safe comfy and arguably in the best SUV out there, for some people sacrificing gas mileage may be worth it =)

That's a good question... I would assume there must be. I mean you can rent a Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari 599GTB for a day to play with on a track so there must be a rental company for off road stuff?

There's lots of Jeep rental places in southern Utah. Dunno about 4Runners though.

Most folks that rent aren't gonna know the difference anyway.
