Yep, I remember those. They were cool indeed.

I’m one of the people that do think it’s the beat thing since sliced bread, so much utility and great ventilation.

To those that mock the roll down rear window, you shut your whore mouth, turn in your 4runner, you are unworthy.

In order of importance to humankind-

Rear roll down window
Clean water
The wheel
Agriculture

I don't use mine too often but when I do i'm very grateful. It's awesome for airing out the interior of my truck.

One thing I do use it for religiously: when getting the fuel discount at Kroger, I put a couple of 5-gallon cans in the Runner and fill them. To keep the fumes from bothering me, I put the ventilation on fresh and crack the rear window an inch. Provides positive airflow from the dash vents through the vehicle, getting rid of the fumes. You'd never know there was gas inside the truck.

I roll it down whenever weather permits along with the sunroof and the front windows. It's one of the things i've always loved about 4runners and I hope they still have this on the 6th gens.

It also comes in handy as a passthrough for longer items. I initially wanted a Tacoma but have been impressed with the amount of stuff the 4runner can carry with the rear seats folded and/or rear window down.

Some folks think that it's the end all be all of a truck feature.
To be honest, the only use I've had for it so far has been to flush bugs out of the car haha. Roll the back down, open all the windows and those suckers will be out of the car in no time. Other than that, I keep it closed 99% of the time.

I use mine all the time when driving on the freeway. If you open the front 2 windows about 20% and the rear window about 20%, you create a stable ventilation from front to back which does not mess up your hair and feels amazing in the CA summer breeze.

Ever since I discovered I could do that in my 1st gen 4runner in college, I have wanted no other vehicle model except the 4runner. That and I dare you to try to fit a 20ft piece of steel in a car that does not have a roll down back window...

While tearing through the cabin I pressed the window button on the remote and heard that taunting "beeeeep". I have a locksmith buddy but he couldn't make it out until the morning and it was supposed to storm all night.

I ended up reading the FSM to determine which wires I could jumper on the ignition switch harness to turn on the accessory power and roll that damn window back up.

But a simple remote "window up" function would have saved me the time and the strange looks...

I don’t use AC unless I NEED it so the back window down helps air flow. Also, dog loves it.

It’s just one of those things you come to appreciate over the years… without repeating everything here it does solve some unconventional problems.

Probably wouldn’t miss it if I never had it, but since we do, I would not want to be without it.

On the 4 runner it is better than slice bread. Being a former jeep guy the wonderful thing about the Jeep was being a great dog car and adventure vehicle. Offroading and getting dirty, camping, fresh air, big dog friendly but limited space is some of what makes the Jeep so very popular. The 4 runner back window sunroof windows down isn't the same as a Jeep but it is close and you have more space. My dogs are much more comfortable in the back of the 4 runner and the window down features gives them the ability to chat with other dogs and people in traffic. Dirt, fresh air, and adventure isn't that what owning a 4 runner is really about?
