2wd am I crazy

Yes it would. Buying anything from your boss is a very bad idea. You can't negotiate properly and somebody will always feel screwed - especially if something goes wrong.

This is a very valid point. I’m going to test drive a Highlander before I make any decisions. Who knows I might just continue driving my 4th gen until it dies... once I get it back from the shop.

Oh also, is a bit of a whining noise under hard acceleration normal on these 5th gens? Kinda sounded like a supercharger noise but not as loud.

That's likely to be a LONG time!

Absolutely crazy, if you don't need 4WD get a Highlander or almost anything else that is more comfortable and has more creature comforts standard.



If you want a 4Runner, get 4WD



(they shouldn't even make a 2WD version)

These are my thoughts exactly and absolutely sum it up.

VERY few people want the 4R in 2WD. Now narrow that market down even more for a 10-15 year old used 4R. The cost difference now isn’t that great compared to the benefit of owning the 4WD version. You’ll absolutely regret it from a financial standpoint if nothing else.

I don't see the point. There are too many SUV's available with better value and features if you don't need the 4WD utility of a 4Runner.

I think I’m officially talked out of it. Between the many points that have been brought up here and thinking about it in general it just doesn’t make sense. Thanks for everyone’s opinions.

Unless you can score a 2WD for 6-7k less than a 4WD, are on a tight budget, and live somewhere it never snows, there is absolutely no argument for getting one.

Everything else is trying to justify that poor decision.
