What did you drive before your 4Runner

I drove my Grandmas suburban for my first car. I went through the rear tires WAY too quick after mastering the art of holding the release for the foot pedal e-brake with my left hand, modulating the e-brake with my left foot, Gas pedal with my right, and all of course while steering with my right hand :lmao:
 
I had a 94 caprice before I owned my 97 4Runner, which was totaled 2018, so I got a shortbed Silverado to carry around my kayak - because I knew I was going to get a hand me down 06 4Runner - which I’m trying to diag a misfire issue now *♂️

205K, ran like a dime. Had maybe another 2-3 years before it rusted out, but hey, that will happen after 14 east coast winters. Mechanically it was perfect.

had fun in my buddies ten years ago in the sand color. it was pretty stock but damn did we claim some trails. he broke threw a frozen over section of trail 3' and we were stuck 7 miles in the woods. had to start fire next to vehicle while breaking the ice for staying warm. sadly, did you see the new chevy blazer or trailblazer? hideous
 
99 Cherokee, 94 Grand Cherokee before that and an 88 Cherokee before that. Done with Jeeps. Got sick of spring wrap, replacing the U-joints in the front axle and of course rust. The Grand did ride nice though, no leaf springs on that one.
 
07 Jeep Commander 4.7l and prior to that a 04 GMC 2500HD Dmax. I do miss the power but not the issues and crappy dealers.
 
1990 Nissan Maxima. Junked it in 2007. Never really liked suvs or trucks. It took me about 15 years of owning one to appreciate the 4runner. The Nissan was reliable, but the Toyota put it to shame.

I was mostly in a 2006 Ford Escape, front wheel drive, manual transmission. We put 254,000 miles on it and only replaced an alternator in that time. But a couple months ago I smacked a deer and did some pretty nice damage to the front passenger side. We got it banged out, and got a new headlight put in. It's ugly, but it still runs so I'm still commuting with it. But with a 2006 at 250,000+ miles and a 2001 Tacoma, it was time to get a reliable newer used vehicle. Picked up a 2018 4runner last weekend!
