No I'm not. I have a Tacoma. We also bought a new Highlander for my wife. I still come here and read posts and moderate where needed, I just don't post much anymore. Who knows? When the next gen 4Runner comes out I might switch back! Right now, a truck is what is best for me. I have been hauling all kinds of crap (new floors, remodel bathrooms, new roof, etc) and, while I could have done it in the 4Runner, the interior would have taken a beating.
The sales numbers are pretty incredible and there is no sign of falling sales, which would be expected near a end of model run.
I think Toyota has decided that, if you have a good product, it just needs tweaked instead of redesigned. The 3rd Gen Tacoma is really not too different than the 2nd gen and I expect the 6th gen 4Runner will not be a lot different either. 3.5 engine, a few updates to the interior and sheet metal and *boom* sales numbers keep going up. It's a good formula.

I'd like to see RAV4 vs Corolla sales, or similar. I'd guess that small and midsize sedans have either plateaued or have smaller growth being sucked up by small and midsize SUVs. The reality is that the RAV4 and Highlander have more in common with the Corolla and Camry than the 4Runner.

So then the 8 highest sales months for 4Runners have been in 2017? OK then.

This is maybe a bit off topic, but I'm split between hoping you enjoy your new ride and wishing an enduring squeaky part or maybe your kids find a place to stick food that adult hands can't reach.
Not that I'm bitter about how my team is doing this year or anything.

Yeah, umm, actually I was wrong on that. I'll go ahead and send you an updated TPS report...
December 2016 sold a lot of vehicles as well. I think this are the 10 highest sales months for the 4Runner (at least what you show on the chart)

7 of 8...but I'd say your salient point remains.

Actually, I have a question about tires I was hoping you could help with...

Let the record show that I am not the only member that believes that you are a traitor. My allegations are not without merit and support.

Records are made to be broken, as evidenced by your astute and diligent reporting of the 4Runner sales numbers...

We've come a long way baby. Look at some of my first spreadsheets:
Some honest laughs to be had in those threads.

I missed these early spreadsheets, but your formatting has improved dramatically
