To be honest, I drove a limited and just found it underwhelming. The tech is old and the features are minimal. I know that you don't buy a 4Runner for the tech or gas mileage but for me, the Subaru is a better fit. I would most likely end up selling a 4Runner is 3 years because I got tired of...
Status Update
I have an update for my search-
I went out Saturday (2.2.19) and bought a 2019 Forester Limited.
It came to about the same price as a used 4Runner/GX.
The car has more tech than I have ever seen and gets seriously good mpg.
It came to me with 106 miles and I am in love. It...
Decision Update!!
I have an update in regards to my new car situation-
I purchased a new car on Saturday (2/2/19) but I went in a completely different direction; I bought a Subaru.
For almost the same price as a 3 year old used 4Runner or 4 year old used GX I bought a brand new 2019 Forester...
I have a Murano now and I don't think I would buy another Nissan. Just not happy with the quality. I think I would most likely get a Rav4 or Highlander. My mom has a Highlander that is now 12 years old and we have changed the oil, bought new tires, and bought 2 new batteries. I would stick with...
According to Toyota's website it doesn't.

Looks like the same interface as the previous year.

I drove a GX
This weekend I drove a GX460 and quite honestly...I thought it was underwhelming. I guess I expected it to be so much more than a 4runner - so much more luxurious, so much more powerful, so much more comfortable. It just wasn't.
I'm starting to rethink this whole luxury thing. For...
I don't know if I'll change much. Most of the aftermarket is audio, or protection, or suspension - things that the GX has improved upon or things that I don't think I will change. Might go to a chunkier tire (if needed).

I have been dreaming of a capable offroading vehicle that is comfortable and reliable. I am tired of having a car for 3 years, selling it, and buying another car and having it for 3 years and selling it. I am on car number 4 and I am ready to move over to a long term commitment of a Toyota...
Damn dude, that's a great deal. I looked up some non-perf, leather seats and the fronts were $2500 without any install or anything. I'd rather spend the money on off-road stuff. I think they intentionally do not sell the trail/off-roads with the lux features because it would cut sales of the...
I just saw a 12 online that had them. The heated seat dials roll the other way and are cooled too. Nice on a 96 degree day in Philly like today.

I'm still thinking about a used GX. A little bit older GX is around the price of a 2-3 year old Trail Premium. And you get the sweet goodies- like cooled seats :)
