1st gen hands down. 2nd gen is alright and I consider the 3rd gen to be the last of the good 4Runners cause of the smaller body and 5 speed manual option.

I love my 4th gen. V6, 4x4, sport ed. Bought new. Paid off. I handed down to my son. I will take it back when my son decided to get new car. It took us many locations that we never thought we could be. Too many camping trips and vacation memories with the kids and wife.

Love the look and feel of the 3rd gens but they are becoming so popular and rare in good shape that its actually often more economical to buy a 4th gen, which don't feel as truck-y but seem so much better as a daily driver. Loved the feel of my 2000 but my 05 and 03 just ride/drive so much better. And the last year's of the V8s, which are miles above the older V6s.

Another vote for the 3rd gen. I also love the 90s suv style and the size is perfect. Another thing I love is the visibility while driving. Lots of large and well placed windows.

Agreed. Those 90s SUVs hardly have a blind spot. Nowadays you're surrounded by blind spots.

I have a 99 Limited and a 16 Trail. The 99 is more fun, the 16 is definitely the better daily. I would say for me the 3rd gen juuuuust edges the 5th for my overall tastes. After that I like the 1st, 2nd, and 4th last (sorry 4th gen guys/gals).

I'm all about the 3rd gens. You just don't see soccer moms driving them around like you do with the newer models ;)

IMO 3rd gens have just the right amount of creature comforts that I'd want (power windows, sunroof, decent stock radio ETC) and hardly any of the stupid new drive-by-wire technologies found on newer 4Runners. (Systems that eventually fail and cripple your rig)

I also love the size and styling too.

If the point is that you're trying to be the typical online car forum cool guy who typically contributes nothing to the community. I read it loud and clear.

I don't think that's the point lol. I think the point was their vehicle is their favorite. It doesn't matter what gen or anything because it's theirs.
I could be off, but it seems reasonable.

I'd say my favorite would be the 1st Gen but the 5th gen looks so good with it's sharp lines. The look has grown on me since I've had mine. Ended up stepping into a 2016 4Runner Trail with KDSS. Couldn't find a well maintained 1st generation in my area but maybe in the future I can pick on up! But for now...time to mod the crud out of this thing! Very offroad capable as with previous generations, but with some chiseled body sculpting! Build log to come shortly.
