Once you put the soon to be released supercharger in it, you'll be fine.

well I timed my purchase based on the next gen cycle. by the time the 2nd year of the next gen comes out, I should have this one paid off 4 yrs.
since it will be a new gen, I will wait the year after it comes out to decide to get it. unless they greatly improve the interior features I will hold out.

lol... I won't be done paying for my 03 until 6/2018. Doubt I'll keep it that long, I'll most likely end up trading for a Camry. Gas is $3.79 in ATL and let's just say my gauge hasn't been above 1/4 in like 4 months.

been there done that, traded my 2004 v8 sport in for a sonata back when gas was around $4.50 and have not been happy since.
I've bounced around a '07 sonata se v6, '09 rav4 sport v6, '10 legacy 3.6R and finally was able to get back into a 4runner. this time around I said screw the gas and haven't been happier.

I'd never go near a Hyundai, lol. I had an Elantra as a rental when my tailgate was getting fixed & it had 300 miles on it and there were rattles, squeaks, the seats were hard as a rock, I'm 6'1" and my head left marks in the headliner. We back and traded that for a Camry and loved it, even though it was a LE 4 cylinder (I'd buy a SE V6 of the 2010 or so model year since they're cheaper lol) but I had it for a week and put gas it it once when I was taking it back. Only took about $15 or so to get it from 1/4 to 1/2 (when gas was barely over $3). It was one of the most comfortable, smooth driving car with a damn good factory audio system. I loved it so much I even waxed it, and it was a rental LOL.

My thoughts as well!
I did hear that the next gen 4R hasn't been planned yet and it's future is up in the air. Take this info with a grain of salt. I hope this proves false. Has anyone else (honestly) heard differently?
Im kinda digging the look of the 2016 Tacoma... It clearly borrowed the headlights from the 5th gen 4Runner and the grille from the Tundra.... Or at least the grille style is Tundra-esque...
That said, if they keep up the bold styling for the 4Runner, it will likely be attractive too.
I believe there is speculation in certain corners of the web that the 6th gen 4Runner will be similar to the new Fortuner? Not sure if that is anywhere near factual... Probably not but here is a pic of the new Fortuner being tested anyway....
I wouldnt mind the new 4Runner being faster, better on gas, ever so slightly smaller (not too much), and more agile.
With all models equipped with fulltime 4WD.
Thatd be all Id need

too me that's a highlander. giveaway is the rear wiper. cant have a roll down window with the wiper in that location. if it was attached on the bodywork then yes you could roll the window down aka, 2nd gens.
or a prado with the barn door.

I agree with you on the need for better gas mileage for the 6th Gen. However, I hope Toyota doesn't make the 4Runner any smaller, and I would not want to see all models being equipped w/ full time 4WD. I like having the ability to decide when I want to engage 4WD. I've owned several 4WD vehicles and unless the conditions are really bad or I've decided to go off-road, I don't use it. 2WD w/ traction control is adequate.
I know you like the 4Runner, but based on your wants and requirements for a vehicle maybe the 4Runner isn't the vehicle for you. Probably going to get flamed here, but have you thought about the Murano, Infiniti FX or the Subaru Outback?
Also, I agree w/ NoDak, even though the Fortuner is built on the Hilux chasis, it looks more like a Highlander than a 4Runner.
