Is a 4Runner the right vehicle for me?

The 4Runner is definitely the best SUV for everyday use. With the SR5 you get the best of both worlds (TE & LE).
 
With the v8, hood scoop, tube rails, xreas, etc....... Then I'll take the "station wagon" any day over a butt ugly new Limited or SR5 even up.

LOL You are one crazy angry foo.

I love my limited! and so does everyone else that rides in it :guitar3:
 
The TE's, yes. Absolutely.

The Limiteds and SR5's, no way. Butt ugly.


Love it when opinion is espoused as fact. If you’re gonna do that, you should at least provide some sound data. Like these I found on the interweb via the google:

J/K of course, because at end of day, opinions can never be facts, and should never be represented as such. Unless you’re talking about Cold Play – they’re a sh*t band – worst ever – period.

Your analysis is beautiful. On the money. Hood scoop guys are like hockey goalies - a little bit "off", "odd", "different".

Does this apply to FAKE hood scoops?
 
Why? I test drove a 12 LTD. Amazing ride. Comfy. As you can tell, I dont off road. I love the look of a clean ride. Why is the 5th gen bad???

It's certainly not bad, but I'm surprised you find the 5th gen as an upgrade. I think the quality of the build is inferior to the 4th gen but "to each his own".

If have a well maintained 4th gen that runs well, you should hold on to it like grim death. Toyota short changed the 5th gen badly and it will be apparent to their owners after they've had it a few years. I don't think you'll see many of them with 150-200k miles that still run strong, solid, and without a rattle or issue like you do with thousands upon thousands of 4th gens......IMO.

Wow. well I never keep my vehicles longer than 4-5 years, so we shall see.

Anyways, who knows, by then it could really look like a minivan like the new Pathfinders...

In the wrong gen thread?
 
I think of my hood scoop like fake boobs. Not functional but still looks pretty good.

To the OP. Just get a 4runner. There's a reason why you took the time to sign up on a 4runner forum to ask the question. :)

So, what color? :)
 
Usually the case. Johnny is kind enough to give us bits of his time gracing the 5th gen forum with proper car washing techniques and reminders that the 5th gens are inferior.

:girl:

^^^^kinda sad, really. Poor guy must not have many friends on the 4th gen side.

What it is, really, is thinly disguised envy. Plus he still has 3 years to go on his loan.
