Maybe he got the mistaken impression that he could simply post an experience. Probably is unaware of the rule that states you must either ask a question or address a concern when posting.
These are obviously his first impressions of a 4Runner, which it seems he's considering to buy. He's sharing his assessment of the vehicle.

Thanks is for bringing that up. I dont see that rule after searching the FAQ. If that were the case then the 1000’s of “Show me your (insert color, doodad, trinket name here )” threads and “Pics of my latest adventure (insert location etc here)” wouldn’t be welcome either. It would be pretty boring here if that were the case.

This forum is rough about things like that. It's pretty much what's kept me away for the last couple years.
FWIW I'm about to buy my 3rd 5th gen in 5 years. I really love these for my outdoor lifestyle.

Get 2020. You can buy them way under invoice. Better Nav, Apple CarPlay, safety, etc.... Just switched my wife from 18 to 20. She loves all the upgrades. OR if you want something that you will really love, get for the same price a pre-owned 16+ Land Cruiser. Test drive one of those and you will never look back at 4runner. There is a reason I don't let my wife drive mine ;). There is a great forum for LCs if you google with all great info and great people to help you with anything you may need.

Nice truck and a good size. It fits in my driveway. Its not a bus like some of the others I've considered. It is a truck. It's not uncomfortable, however, it is a truck.
Taking one to the Shore for a day, say, Bradley beach would be ok. Cape May might be a stretch.
The acceleration was adequate. The engine has more of a mechanical sound than I'm used to but thats not a bad thing. Otherwise it was nice and quiet.
I like what I saw on the navigation screen. The sunroof is big. That I appreciate.
The carpeting, from what I could tell, didn't look or feel cheap.
I measured the cargo area with the seats folded down and there was plenty of room to meet the needs of my business.
Im 6'2" 230 and there was plenty of room for my head. I was able to adjust the steering wheel and seat to a comfortable position without feeling like I was sitting on the floor. I like that it has a tall wind shield and the vehicle sits high.

Ohhhh, my mistake! I didn’t know the number of posts was relevant. Guess it’s kinda like the number of Facebook friends you’ve never met or maybe adoring Twitter followers. Who knew?

My 4th gen is a 2004, so it also comes with a 4 speed.
Gas mileage really isn’t its strongpoint but I also don’t think it’s terrible either.
If you drive a lot, its actually easy to justify a 2nd car as a commuter when comparing the operating costs.
After owning a 4Runner, I would have a hard time giving it up. When it comes to road tips / weekend warrior off-road driving… there is nothing else I rather do those activities in.

Yes. 2020.
The 2019 Limited was sitting on a lot with a "Demo" sign on the windshield so I thought I would take it for a drive.

If you decide to buy, be sure to post pics. Best wishes!
