I still miss my 4th Gen... But...
I had and loved a 4th Gen 4Runner V8 Limited. She was an AMAZINGLY Capable vehicle overall.
The 5th Gen never appealed to me for several reasons (poor powertrain, limited technology, poor overall handling). I do like seeing what some people do to the 5th...
I'm glad the JGC won.
Since I plan on trading in my 2005 4Runner for a 2011 JGC Overland 4x4 V8!
:fro:
I'm just waiting to see if the JGCs show good reliability (and to see a Quadra-Lift equipped one in person before I buy).
I'm glad the Jeep came in first place!
I will be trading in my POS stinky 2005 4x4 V8 4Runner for an Overland 4x4 V8 very soon.
:bluejump:
I look forward to being able to drive a vehicle without skunking everyone behind me!!

And here is the Motor Trend video:

There has been several comparisions between which is the best 4x4 system (Toyota or the Jeep Quadra-Drive). In fact there have been some on this very forum if I remember correctly.
I agree that the real question will be the durability of the Mercedes parts and the air suspension. Considering...
It has a max of 11.5 inches of clearance with the adjustable air suspension system which is more than the 4th or 5th gen 4runners.
So it is MORE offroad capable from that perspective than a stock 4runner. :jaw drop:

Chrysler/Jeep has never gone thru a bankruptcy or restructuring like it just did. They are putting a lot of their future viability into making this vehicle the best they can.

Anyway... here are some new pics of the production vehicles:
