I love my 4Runner!

[Badbert]

I sold my BMW M5 E60 and bought a 4Runner thinking I have to move soon and I need to be able to tow a trailer. I live in SW Washington and we actually got a significant amount of snow and ice. I just drove 20 miles for a fresh donut. Along the way I pulled someone out of a snowbank. They were in a Durango and managed to slide backwards down a hill by my house right into a three foot deep pile of snow left by a plow. I owned a Subaru Outback many years ago. But my Toyota is leaps and bounds better than that wagon. I love this truck.
I have to take two of my neighbors to the grocery store now. More than happy to be able to help.

Glad you are happy with it. I love mine too although I haven't been driving it much due to the 'rona.

Now you’re just looking for excuses to drive her in the snow! Lol, enjoy, these vehicles are beastly.

Man you went from a super unreliable and expensive platform (although it’s a V10 so like who cares?) to one that’s bulletproof and fairly easy to work on. Have fun!

These trucks are something else! I have an 08 and it still drives like a dream. Handles bad weather really good too. Haven't had a single issue with snow and haven't gotten stuck In the 4 years that I've owned it. Oh, and it does some pretty good donuts in the snow too :heh:

I love mine too - best daily drivers in my humble opinion.

I replaced the BMW because it leaked more oil than the Exxon Valdez. Fun car but the v10 that powered it has a habit of eating bearings. I got the 4Runner because I have always had very good luck with Toyota.

These are great trucks. Back in 2012 I bought my daughter a ‘99 SR5 4runner and I loved that truck, hated to see it go to college. Then she got married and her bo trashed the inside. You know the phrase, were you raised in a barn?...well he was apparently. The last time I saw it, the rust on the frame and brakes was terrible, inside made me puke. I wouldnt sit in that truck now to save my life.

Fast forward, I bought a 07 sport last summer and I love it. 223,000 miles and still drives smooth.
