I switched from a 2014 Ford Mustang Premium to a 2019 TRD Off-Road Premium. Absolutely love having four doors again, but I really miss my sequential tail lights.
 
I was actually sad to let my old ride go

2007 Saturn view Redline edition 411623 km when I traded it , ran like a top since in this year Saturn put the Honda eco tec 3.5 J3 engine in the all the drivelines were also Honda with a GM body plopped on top

2 Toyota mechanics fought over it cause they know how good they were, only thing really wrong was the rear main seal leak and it was a pain in the ass to changed the timing belt which I did 3 times
 
let's see how good my memory is working today...and keep in mind this is spanning over 33yrs. First car to most recent...

1. 1967 Mustang fastback with a transplanted 351C
2. 1991 Ford Ranger XLT
3. 1983 Thunderbird with 90 Mustang GT 5.0/AOD swap (owned/drove concurrently with #4 & 5)
4. 1987 Z-28 (originally 5.0/5spd) with 1989 Corvette engine swap (owned while stationing in Hawaii)
5. 1997 Dakota with 5.2L V8
6. 1970 Cutlass S/X (this is actually a rare model, came with 455, switch pitch Turbo 400, and 12bolt rear)
7. 1991 Mustang 4cyl with a modified SVO 4cyl turbo engine swap, 5 speed, and built for cornering
8. 1995 Thunderbird with V8
9. 1986 S10 Blazer with SBC swap
10. 2000 Explorer XLT 4x4
11. 2005 F150 STX 4x4

Before my 4Runner, I used to drive a Suburban. After the kids grew up, I downsized.

The 4Runner is my wife’s main vehicle. Her prior vehicle we traded in was a 2011 RAV4. We put 98,000 miles on it before we traded it in. Countless Florida trips (we live in Indiana), camping trips, etc..

We were sad to see it go, but driving the 4Runner is like driving the RAV4’s big brother in a lot of ways.

lexus rx350, 2010, 110K miles on it. Had it for 8 years, second owner. Still have the vehicle but my wife now drives it and loves it. Despite being a 2010 and it's a beast, looks brand new (wash and wax every year) and ONLY non routine maintenance repair was the exhaust had a leak and I replaced the exhaust

the RX and GX are on the same tier as 4 runner reliability IMO. GX do have air bag issues if you get the higher end version, so watch for that if you're shopping pre owned
 
2019 Rav4.

Had a Tacoma before that and even with a tonneau cover stuff still got wet.
I am looking forward to a larger DRY cargo area!
