Probably because the majority of people who bought the 4Runner (excluding this forum community) were considering between a minivan and the 4Runner when they bought it in the first place.

Most people don't use their rides as they were intended by design. My neighborhood is full of middle-aged bro-culture men who own full-size pickup trucks and do nothing with them other than commute to their desk jobs or go to the grocery store...and literally every Jeep Wrangler is owned by a teenage girl who has a row of ducks on the dash.

Bring back the RWD Station Wagon! Handles/rides like a car, has the interior utility (almost) of an SUV, and even typically looks better.

That's good to hear. I've made a tire brand mistake a time or two and it kills me to have to live with that mistake for years until they need replacing. Buying the right set feels like hitting a home run.

I totally agree and have done that before. :doh:

Nothing wrong with a station wagon. BMW put out several back in the day that were well worth owning. I only can't stomach the full-size wagons like the Ford Country Squire or the Buick Roadmaster.

I’ll be honest I have BF Goodrich KO3 on and just finished up a 1600 mile trip to the Blackhills and home and they were great ride.

Funny, I'd be all over one with 4wd a strong v6 and towing package.
I need a better towing margin on my 2014 4runner, all the choices suck. I'm shopping a smaller trailer to get around with.
Currently pulling a 7x12 single axle, ebrake, fine local. Need to lock out OD and stay in 4th on the highway, keep it under 70 and it pulls fine and stable. revs are too high at 3k and the mpg falls to 10~12 mpg.

Decisions decisions....

On topic: I'm running 3peak Wildpeaks, and will be going with the defenders in another week or two. Snow performance was great, durability not so much. 35k miles and there's no winter left in them, supposed to be a 60k mile tire.

Also back on topic - The factory tires on my GX are just about done (factory tires always suck.) I'm a big fan of Michelin and will be putting on Defender LTX M/S2 the next time they go on sale at Costco.
