Surprised that they did not mention The Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car operating here in NYC they easily clock over 300,000 very hard miles.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. But, I think they quit making them. Anyway...that's a pretty random list of cars,

It is good to see the 4runner on this list. My son is due April 1st and I hope to give him my Trail when he is able to drive. Then again, he was going to get it anyways even if the runner wasn't on this list. :thumb3:

My (son or daughter) is due on May 1st. I wonder if my SR5 will last as long as your Trail!? :baby:

But the Crown Vic is a death trap that bursts into flames and burns you to death if it's rear ended. They could have taken off some points for that.

 

[Coveman]

Yep, and I've ridden in some of those death traps...they should have been retired a looong time ago!

Where the heck did they get that picture? What is that thing, an SR5/TE Hybrid?

Good to see the 4runner on the list though. I plan to keep mine until it quits, and then some.

I was thinking the same thing....it's like a SR5 and a Trail reproduced....I like it. Alot. SR5 thats not all chromed out.

I was just checking on that Canadian Toyota site and man they get some sweet looking SR5's!
I haven't seen any Canucks on the forum owning Blizzard Pearl or Shoreline Blue SR5's yet.
Canadian BP SR5

Canadian SBP SR5

Congrats to both of you. My son was born on 2/12/13 and I plan on giving him my 08 SR5 when the time comes.

 

[02_SE_Runner]

How come the 3rd gens didn't make it to the list? (Oh wait, ours do last over 250k miles. lol)

 

[DannyLlama]

dd me to that list . ,ime was born in August and plan for him to drive it when he's ready. That's if we still have gasoline powered vehicles allowed by than.

So how do we keep track of this and see who stayed true to their word :fro:

As a side note - really? Chevy Avalanche ?!

Those look so much better than our SR5s. I kind of find it insulting they think we Americans want all that chrome and "ground effects".

 

[desertred]

I can't blame Toyota for that. Despite the representation on T4R.org, most buyers of USA 4Runners will likely use them as mall runners instead of SUVs. Thus the popularity of CUVs and SMVs. Toyota is responding to market demand.
