Bought my 5th toyota a couple of months ago, 06 4Runner sport 4wd v8 in Shadow Mica. I am in my late 40's and this is my 45th vehicle. You might say I have a passion, or as my wife calles it, obsession for cars. Out of these many many vehicles American, German and Japanese the most trouble free have been the Toyota's. 5 of them, over 15 years, 400,00 miles and 1 problem (fixed under warranty), try that with a BMW! The biggest problem I seem to have is that I get bored with cars but alas I had my 99 prerunner for almost 8 years and still loved driving it. This was the reason I came back for another Toy Truck.
The 4 runner with the xreas suspension is amazing for a S.U.V. (stupid usless vehicle as I used to call them). The 4.7 is soooo smooooth it blows me away. Not even a tick at idle (my 2002 Trans Am LS1 sounded like it was going to drop a piston or spin a bearing it had such knock at idle with only 4000 miles) I spent over 8 months and drove everything, and I mean everything from Acura to Volvo and came back to Toyota. The hardest decision was between the Tundra double cab 4wd and the 4Runner. I love the current size of the Tundra and was afraid that the new one would be too big if they go the way Nissan did with the Titan. I drove the Titan and I felt like it should have been called the Titan-ic.
It was a tought choice but the size, ride and handling of the 4Runner sport finally won. Then the deal that Precision Toyota of Tucson and salesman Scott Benson, gave was just too good to pass up, 4000 off sticker and 500 over kbb trade in for my PreRunner. And this took all of 15 minutes to negotiate.
Guess I have to say Toyota has made me a customer for life and Precision and Scott will get my next business too.
