1st time Toyota owner

[LTX4RUNNER]

Hi everyone. I am the proud owner or a "New to Me" 2006 SR5 4Runner 2WD V6. I believe it is Gray Mica. It has tan leather, Eclipse navigation, and 3rd row seating.

I owned a Jeep Liberty prior to this. The saying was, "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand." Well, I understand now perfectly. That's why I bought a TOYOTA! I will NEVER own another Chrysler again.

Anyways, I look forward to being a long time member of the forum and will try to contribute as much as possible. I can't wait to get started!

Nice pickup. Hopefully it treats you a lot better than what it sounds like the Liberty did :thumb3:

Thanks! I'm sure it will. It at least starts up everyday! :lmao:

Congrats on your new 4Runner! My dad owned two Jeeps and immediately went to a 4Runner afterwards. It must really be a Jeep thing! Welcome to the Toyota family!

LOL. It definitely is. I spent $3k on that beast about 3 months ago and then traded it for the 4runner. I only had 8 payments left but I didn't care. It wasn't really about the payment as much as the reliability.

Unfortunately, I was only able to drive it for one week after I purchased it and then I had to leave for work. I won't get to drive her again until July 15th, at 12:55 pm. Yes, I am counting the days...

P.S. I had a 3.7L in the Jeep and NEVER got more than 15.7MPG. I drove the 4runner through Houston, TX traffic while in a class, and got 20MPG all day long! I love this thing.
