How many 65+ (elderly by definition) 5th gen 4Runner owners on this forum?
This is embarrassing and rewarding at the same time. How many of you are 65+ on this forum?
I am 65, turning 66 in a few months and retiring also. Here is a pic of myself and my 8 year old from a couple months ago.
Doing more mods to do more off roading and camping next year. My son loves it.
Edit: I set this up as a poll, but it didn’t show. This would have lessened the concern for us older guys.

My kids say I'm elderly, probably because I ignore them and they think I can't hear. However, I'm actually I'm 53

Over 65
I just turned 75 in September. I've been on the forum for years and I am on my second 4 Runner. We live in Louisiana and have a vacation home in Colorado so we enjoy off-roading in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

Our 2021 4Runner is primarily my wife’s daily driver. She is 66. I’m 57. We had a 2020 4Runner since new.

‘18 SR5. Stock. 70. Retired over a decade. It replaced a ‘02 Tacoma TRD 4x4, which I gave to my grandson. I used to do a lot of 4-wheeling and camping in the back of the Tacoma and former 4x4 trucks. But too much arthritis pain is no fun off road. Sill trail during hunting season. Live in a rural area with dirt roads which in winter are snow covered. So the 4Runner gets plenty of front axle exercise.

I'm 71. I do all the maintenance and installed a mild 1-inch front lift. Otherwise, this 4Runner is stock as my wife drives it most of the time.

68 here. First 4R, 2019 OR, after having owned 3 2nd gen Tacomas, several (lost count, 6+/-) 1st gen Tacomas, one of which is currently in the driveway.
The 4R is the best of the bunch.

Well, I actually can’t hear good at all anymore. My high frequencies are shot from shooting civilian shooting matches with my NM M1A when I was young. My wife says I have selective hearing. I really do need hearing aids now.
