I traded my 15 limited 4 Runner for a 2017 JGC Limited loaded up to $49,000 with the V6 and 8 speed tranny. They wack 5k off that with no argument though. I don't 4 wheel so the 4 Runner made no sense. After 20,000 miles my verdict is in. It really is no contest. The Jeep blows the 4...

She had no ball mount it was just the receiver that took the big hit. By the way the rear bumper of a 4 Runner has no honeycomb absorbing materials at all so even if the receiver didn’t take the hit all the force would have gone through the frame anyway. At my friends body shop he showed me our...

My wife got rear ended in her ex 2015 Limited. The frame was bent (pushed in by the hit to the hitch). This took the brunt of it so the tailgate and bumper had minor damage. Total it was $2200 to repair. They pulled the frame out and replaced the bumper and fixed a dent in the tailgate. It never...

Ok I'm done talking about anything other than a 4 Runner here, don't want to offend anyone and force them to read something. I just fulfilled my promise to report back about my switch. Believe me I would have crucified the Jeep if it deserved it. If things get ugly with it I will report that...

Most of these features on the Jeep are just options. You don't need to pay for them if you don't want them. The 4 Runner should at least offer them considering almost every other car made does. Anyway it doesn't matter since they sell all they make no problem. I guess they just feel you can go...

Ok when we traded our 2015 Limited 4 Runner for my wife's 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited loaded with all the toys (V6) I said I would report back good or bad. Now its been 6 months and 14,000 miles. In that time early on at 1,000 miles going down the highway all the dash lights lit up and a...

Looks like they are just milking this thing for one more year and not even trying to keep up with any of the other manufactures. Pathetic.

Any changes? Any new safety features added?

Get a Sprint Booster it is the magic ticket for a 4 Runner. One day I was out for a drive and kept saying to myself this car is a slug. I looked down at the Booster switch and the green light was off. Someone had turned it off because my wife and I would never touch it. It was in for the 20k...

Im still lurking here a bit. The Jeep is awesome. We love the way it rides including the turning radius. My wife is hooked on the radar cruise and Im hooked on the pr tailgate and blind spot monitor. The bluetooth and nav with the 8" screen work way better than either of my 4 Runners did. I do...

All I know is at the Denver auto show they had 3 2017 4 runners and as usual people were tripping over each other to get in them. People love 4 Runners. I'm taking some heat from a couple friends who are not happy about me selling mine. I'm ok though because the JGC is loaded and does everything...

I have no idea what they are going to do with the 4 Runner but my want list is Radar Cruise Blind Spot Monitor At least 8 inch Nav screen Reverse cross trafic alert A nav and bluetooth that actually works Panic braking front and rear to a total stop Pr fold Mirrors Heated and pr adjusting...

My 2015 would pop out on both sides in the front. I would pop them back in and it would last for a week or two. The clips were changed but it didn't help.

I have a Benz ML350 with 130,000 miles. A/C compressor, pr steering leaks galore, intake manifold flappers gone out, front diff bearings, check engine lights all the time, the list goes on and on and on. Everything fixed and working now but afraid to drive it other than when it snows or If I...

Mike Maestes was a parts man at Crest Motors on Colfax the first Volvo dealer I worked at. When I got to Monarch I recruited him over to write service. Working on those Volvos was so easy the money just fell into your pocket. Night and day compared to today's cars. The RX350 (if you like the...
