It’s ok, I expect it about a dodge on a Toyota forum lol. I’m not giving up on the 4runner yet! Still want another vehicle in the next couple years

It’s ok, been bugged before about Chrysler products but besides my last vans transmission issue, I’ve had many with great luck But this 7 year warranty covers basically everything besides tires and brakes. So fingers crossed, it gets a lot of great reviews

Not many newer used ones and the ones I found were very expensive I ended up with a 2018 Durango R/t with 19k kilometres on it. Loaded with all the options and full extended warranty until 2025. For the kids well, good tow ratings and features I still eventually will be getting a second...

Same platform as a patrol but not as many off road features. They do have a 2 speed transfer case though. I just didn’t like how it handled, very very cushy and boat like feeling

Well I appreciate all the help and suggestions everyone. But the 4runner is definitely a no go for our family. Just too tight for seating and space overall. Looked a couple times and loved the way it drives and feels, but just not a good fit for the family Short list right now is the armada and...

After going and driving some suv’s, I’m 90% sure we won’t be going back to minivan lol. 6 long years I’ve waited to get back to the trails and take the family with

Highlander was quite a bit smaller inside, especially the third row. Older land cruiser is out of the cards, looking newer with warranty. Sequoia I looked at today but didn’t drive but the interior fit and finish wasn’t nearly as nice and smaller third row than the armada on top of being more...

Well I thought I would post an update from today. I managed to get out and test drive both the armada and the 4runner, 4runner isn’t looking too good. While I really did enjoy driving it, love the seating position for the drivers seat, the handling, but the size I think is just too small. I also...

I have honestly been looking a bit harder at the armada because it is the BOF suv still, lots of ground clearance, still a proper transfer case etc. It does check off a lot of boxes. Fuel economy is a bit rough on it, but not much worse than a 4runner from what I found. I think it will come...

We’ve had the van for almost 6 years, long past any image issues lol. I just want to get back to being a bit more free with where we go explore and such. You guys have given me lots to think about, I appreciate all the advice. One more week until our camping trip, once we’re home, it’s time to...

Haha, that will be the wife’s problem by then, I’ll be back in a truck for myself long before that point, will have to see if she’s ready to part ways with it by that point. Doubtful, I never got to drive my parents cars when I first got my license. I worked full time during my summer breaks at...

The 6 year olds are still in the high back boosters. We have one last camping trip next week and that’s all I have for holidays besides some day trips. Once we are back from holidays, we are going to ramp up the vehicle search. First stop will be to check out the 4runners to atleast see if it...

Haha, a bit of an extreme example but I get the point. I’m not giving up all hope yet!

Still going to definitely stop in and take a look st a 4runner before crossing it out but doesn’t look promising. A shame since this was the best chance I had at getting into one. One kid too many lol

You’re all breaking my heart lol. Sounds like I will be settling for a van and a tent trailer for now until I get myself a truck again.
