good point, today any new car can last without a problem, but not all imports are better (more reliable) then all domestics. Germans cars e.g. have more problems.

I know, I know... but to be honest as so far after 25 years of driving cars I wished I've had 4x4 maybe once or twice. I want to have first of all RWD again, now I have 4x4 Rav4 and never had situation I needed it. Anyway something's tells me I can regret it if I don't buy 4x4x :(

no, no I'd never buy a V8. I'll buy only V6. What is 4hi or 4low?

I'm buying soon my 4runner but not sure yet which. I mean I know i want sport version but is it really big difference in normal driving between those two? In price I see 3k$ saving but how about MPG saving? From spec I see 16/21 (city, highway) on both versions, but 4x2 should be better on gas...

exactly, this is encouraging. I was dreaming about having BMW and not anymore :) I'm buying 4runner.

that's really bad we have less and less choices in US, plus car like 4runner are asking to be driven with stick...

thanks for tips, interesting - what is that swaybar anyway? can you do these 2 mods on your own? I just don't want to be pushed out of my seat when turning with higher speed.

but we have that 4Runner Sport V6 4x4 version versus limited, isn't it more stiff then limited. It supposed to be tuned sporty, right?

new generation, I'm thinking about new one V6, but I don't really talking here about power but more about handling and driving more sporty alike.

I drive currently rav4 and I must say it's boring, reliable but boring. This is one of the reasons I want to switch to 4runner. How is handling, cornering etc?

shoot, that is really a bummer... Why in Europe they can have manual option, diesel etc and in US no choice whatsoever??? :(

so it's possible 22-23 it's not that bad, how about if I take with manual transmission (which I prefer anyway) it should help with MPG right?

the fuel economy is the only thing holding me back from buying but probably I'll buy anyway. Is it really max you can get on highway? I'm talking about V6 of course.
