Had mine just over a year and love it, only regret is I wish I had waited for a 2012 model with entune, I hate the base stereo, also I wish I had been able to afford a Trail Edition, I really like the look of that one. That being said, I love mine.
I've had my 12 SR5 for a little over a month now and I absolutely love it. The only regret is that I wish I had shelled out a little more cash for a Trail Edition.
Oh well. I love this thing and have no intentions of getting rid of it for a very long time.
Thank you all for the responses. Collectively I got the information I wanted, which was to ensure the 4Runner is not mechanically unreliable. I've still got to test drive the thing, but I'm in the same boat as most people on this forum. Very few vehicles have the same capability range of the 4Runner Trail Edition. If I were going to buy a different vehicle it wouldn't be a CUV or other mid-size soup kitchen (reference from The Other Guys movie when a bunch of homeless guys steal Will Farrell’s Prius). I'd get a sports car. The only problem is my lifestyle doesn't accommodate such a ride, and I can't afford two cars.
I'll be sure to post some pictures if I pull the trigger on this thing when I get back in ~ two weeks. Thank you again, this forum has been a great resource.
