This is a great forum and has already helped me to decide to buy a 4Runner. I have been a Subaru guy for the past 11 years and need something with a little more room and off road ability. Last week the Subaru had a hard time making it over LaVeta Pass crammed full of wife, 2 kids, dog, camping gear, beer, and firewood.
I was looking at 2009-2008 4R's but really want leather seats. I have an 80lb German Shepherd and leather is alot easier to de-fur than cloth seats. The limited models in '09-'08 are over $30k. I am trying to keep it under $25k or less.
I found a couple of Limited models in my price range but they are 2007 and 2005. I thought if I could post em up you all could give me an opinion. What do I need to look out for if I go back to an '07 or '05? My mechanic friend says Toyota's don't get broken in until 100k miles so I am not too worried about the mileage. (I plan on doing the timing belt and water pump around 90k miles anyhow)

I am going through a broker so the price will be a bit less for each. I also want the side curtain airbags and I believe both of these 4R's have them as options. Let me know what you think. I am going to pull the trigger this weekend.
