Regarding what a few have said, I didn't drive it aggressively enough on the test drives to expose what I think are a few of the handling issues are. I also wondered if a limited would have been better in retrospect, but we decided to go in a different direction. I think that it's a great...

If you're happy with your 4Runner, then that's great. I didn't pay enough attention to the posts about brake dive prior to buyng mine. I posted my issue strictly for the benefit of anyone thinking of buying. I thought the size of the car was good, but my Silverado 4x4 handles more confidently...

We recently sold our 2012 4Runner SR5 4WD after about 6 months of ownership. We sold it because of the brake dive and poor handling under braking. I decided I wasn't comfortable with my wife and unborn child in the car. If you want an off road vehicle, then the 4runner is probably good, but in...

I think that it's pretty decent for a stock setup that isn't a high end option.

I may try dentmasters, but I was hoping for some more information. I used a guy when I lived in Michigan who did great work. I would love to find a guy in OKC like him.

The door of our 4runner got nailed by a shopping cart today. Hoping it can be fixed by paintless dent repair. I'm looking for a good shop in Oklahoma City. Does anyone have a recommendation?

We have blizzard on tan. I liked mag grey better, but the wife loves blizzard pearl and like tan interiors. What I love the most is how easy it is to keep the blizzard pearl looking good vs the darker colors.

Makdad, I might be interested in your Westins. Can you send the pics. I'm in OKC so shipping shouldn't be too bad. The nfabs look great.

I'm thinking about getting some nerf bars or running boards for my wife's 4Runner. I kind of like the steelcraft nerf bars and the DeeZee NXC boards. My wife didn't like the factory offering and doesn't want anything too "wimpy." I think that boards may be more useful for a step, but I'm...

I bought my wife a 2012 SR5 4wd with premium package. After driving SR5 and Limited several times, I couldn't justify the extra price for a limited. If we lived somewhere where it snowed often then I probably would have gone with the limited. I personally don't like the wagon wheel look of...

We have Entune on our 2012. I'm quite happy with it and I'm glad that we waited for a 2012.

I started this thread. Two days ago we got our 2012 SR5 4X4 with premium package. After driving many cars, some several times, we decided on the 4 Runner. So far we are loving it, and I'm very happy that we waited to get a 2012 with the Entune. I love the extra technology. At one point we...

Thanks for all the input so far. I think we will probably buy the 4Runner as soon as a 2012 is available. Although my wife thought the MDX drives well. She actually preferred the more truck like attitude of the 4Runner. She had a Tahoe prior to her Murano and she really liked it (just...

We went to drive cars again today. I think that this is the fourth time we have driven a 4Runner. We drove an MDX and a 4Runner back to back. Reinforced that MDX handles better, but we aren't looking for a sports car. My wife's opinion was that it is basically the same as what she already...

I'm in the market for a new SUV for my wife. We like the 4runner, Grand Cherokee and MDX. My wife currently drives a Murano. She loves way it drives, but would like something bigger. She likes her SUVs to look like a truck, but likes them to drive more like a car, which is a bit of a...
