What did you have before your 4Runner?

Blah

Ford Escape...

I really wanted a 4runner but found a great deal on an Escape, it was an OK daily driver. Buried it in the sand, sucked for off road.

Totaled it in December and got my dream ride, 2016 4runner!

’98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. V-8, Up Country off-road package. Bought new, and used almost exclusively for trips to mountains and vacations. Sat in the garage otherwise. 180,000 miles. Couldn’t bring ourselves to trade it in when we bought the new 4Runner. It's been a great vehicle. Not sure what we'll do with it.

My wife and I have been through 5 daily-driver vehicles during the time that we’ve had the Jeep. The 4Runner will lead a similar life, so we should be set until at least 2036. :)

I love Ann old ZJ! I've tried to find one in decent shape for a long time!
 
Holy crap! I just totaled up all the vehicles I've owned, and I've had 20 (not counting the ones I never drove or only had for a few weeks). I've been driving for 25 years, so that's a lot of trading. My uncle has had over 60, but my Dad lived to 83 and only owned 7 cars the whole time.
74 Beetle
89 Isuzu Trooper
87 VW Vanagon
84 Mustang LX 5.0
89 F-150 (longest ownership-5 years)
97 Cherokee Sport
02 Frontier
04 Silverado Z71
07 Outback
07 SportTrac V8
10 Tundra TRD OR
11 4Runner SR5
12 Tacoma TRD OR
13 Tundra TRD OR
14 Corolla
15 Canyon
16 Tacoma
16 Kia Forte Si turbo (still own)
16 Tundra
16 4Runner (still own)

I wish I'd kept the 2011 4Runner, but the only one I miss for sentimental reasons is the F-150 I had through college. I know its probably in the junkyard by now, sadly.

I've only had a few cars in my time. So far all I've owned is a Mitsubishi Eclipse, a Subaru Impreza and now the 4Runner. I also have a Subaru Forester project in my garage.
 
2012 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. Loved it but wife hated it, especially after I lifted it behind her back.:ballchain: Just not enough room in the back for two kids and their carseats. Love the new 4runner though. Especially after I lift it. I know I don't learn quickly. :happens:

2013 Nissan Maxima SV Sport Tech package. Black on Black on Black. Beautiful, fast, but not enough space for the new addition. Next stop Black/Black 17 SR5

Had a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring with tech package. Enjoyed it but missed Toyota as I have mostly owned them. I also wanted more space than a mid-size sedan and we already had a Highlander. So 4Runner!

1994 Toyota Extended Cab V6 5-speed manual DL.

I should not have sold it. That thing was solid for a 21 year old vehicle. I had just replaced clutch, radiator, timing belt, water pump, main seal... It had 189K on the clock and would have gone another 185K or more. :sobbing:

I gotta say, my 2002 3.4 V6 feels like an animal compared to the 3.0 V6, even with lift, armor, and 285s. Part of me wants to get another one.

2016 AWD Honda CR-V. Definitely has done it's job for what I like, but as I've begun to off road more and more, it just severely limits me. 4Runner should land at the end of the month, so hopefully early June it'll be here in town.
