Is the 4Runner the best vehicle in the world?

[Inv4drZm]

My 2020 Off Road Pro Premium came with a paper manual a big one, has tire pressure monitoring system that is displayed between the tack and speedo. Has Apple Car Pay. And as to your comment about the GPS, I own several different GPS units, on a boat (most difficult), BMW X5, Harley Davidson, a handheld, and my Toyota. I can say through experience that the Toyota is the most intuitive one of all.

The OP asks is the 4Runner the best vehicle ever? IMO of course not, every vehicle is a comprise.
My wish list for the perfect 4Runner:
1) More power on the highway. Of course I compare it to my X5, but still at times it seems a bit anemic.
2) Better interior plastics. I consider myself very careful when it comes to loading items in my vehicles, the 4Runners interior panels seem to scratch much easier then any other vehicle that I have owned.
3) A better tow capacity but this may go hand in hand with a more powerful engine, and speaking of towing who put the trailer plug 6’ under the vehicle. I have to lay on my back to plug the trailer in. That is until I made an extension and bolted to the rear bumper.

4th gen w/ V8. A little bump in power (at the very least it sounds better) and a lot better tow capacity than 5th gen.

Best all around 4Runner ever made unless you heavily count mpg it gets a couple less.

The best vehicle at the time for me in 2013. 7 years later I'm still very happy with it and will be keeping it for many more years. Copied this from a Jalopnik.com article.

I test drove the very first 4th gen my dealership received. I would have bought it to, if it had as much headroom as the 3rd gen I was driving.

They did increase the headroom in the 5th gen, so after the design refresh in '14, and finally deciding it was time to let the 22 year old 4Runner go, I bought a 5th gen.

Everyone has their priorities.
