That’s why I wanted to explore, but I guess NYS clearly sucks in it.

Don't worry, I get it. There are plenty of advantages to a 4Runner that if you're going to do beach driving and a lot of pretty gnarly snow driving, it's a pretty good vehicle.
I guess my only point is that you make a sacrifice once you go to a body on frame vehicle versus something unibody. A unibody with a good AWD system, at least 8 inches of ground clearance and decent tires (either ATs or snows in the winter) should be able to do as well as a 4Runner in most eastern situations I'd think while getting better than 16 to 18 mpg and without the sacrifices a BoF inherently has.
That being said, everyone should drive what they want
. Beauty of a free country, hah.
