I'm tapping out. Ive had 3 4Runners, 1 new and 2 used. While I loved them all they have shown me no love in return. I have put up with sloppy steering, old style options such as no auto headlights, expensive parts, expensive upgrades and I maintained them with all the love I could and drove them like a grandma. My latest purchase was a 2016 GEN 5 4Runner SR5, beautiful machine, well cared for with low miles. I had a slight knock in the block at 1 month after purchase from a reputable dealer , many comments it was normal sound for a 4.0L engine. I took the oil pan down and she looked like she spent the night at a strip club. The glitter in the pan was overwhelming. I buttoned her up and traded her in. I used to think Toyota was superior but I'm starting to think they are running on their old reputation. I think new vehicles are starting to equal out in reliability. I am now the proud owner of a Chevy Silverado 4wd V8. I feel sorry for the sucker that will get my 4runner. I wont be back cause I'm done with Toyota so say what you will. Thanks for everyone that helped in the past but Im tapping out on Toyota's. For those of you thinking about getting one.....read the blogs before you buy
Tapping out on Toyota for good

Apparently you did not check out chevy forums? good luck, lets see the new rig!
In 2005 had a 50K Tahoe loaded. Tranny, tranfercase engine work and lastly intermittent total brake failure that they couldn't find, ended up running a dude into a ditch from no brakes, traded the next day. Chevy, Toyota and every other manufacturer has issues, you just drew 3 short straws

Go buy a Jeep. They are problem free!
100k bumper to bumper on my chevy. We use the Chevy 1500's at work, beat them to death and they never fail. Maybe I just got lemon 4runners but I got sick of pouring money into them. There are as many Chevy owners out there that swear by their trucks as there are Toyota. ALL vehicles have problems and issues, I'm just done with trying Toyota products.

To each there own and I understand when a brand burns you. I feel that way about GM, I wouldn't touch anything of theirs ever again.

Is there ever going to be a good thread on this site again, or only more first world *****ing from people who just can't go on living without apple carplay and automatic ball washers? Enough with the "I want to speak with your manager!" mentality. If you want to go buy a pickup, go buy a pickup and be happy. Who gives a sh1t?

Same here... thirty years of Toyota and Honda then I made the mistake of going with a domestic product that everyone said was supposed to be just as reliable. That F-150 2.7 Ecoboost was in the shop more than all the vehicles I’ve owned combined. Happily back behind the wheel of a Toyota.
Good luck with your new Chevy.
