You should know the 4stunna is the preferred SUV of the OT.

I drove a 2017 for 4 years, and had a 2003 for 2 years prior to that. It seriously lacks power and it isn't nearly as comfortable/luxurious as the truck I traded it in on (21 GMC Sierra AT4), but it's definitely a great vehicle.

Yes. I wanted a 4 Runner, but they are so damn expensive so I ended up getting a used Wrangler.

I've never owned a 4runner, but I sure have driven a bunch of them, hell I think at least 50% of my girlfriends since I was old enough to drive had one. Nice SUV, dated but never broke much and held their value, not that any of them knew or cared.

Jeep guy here - CJ-7 then TJ, now a JKUR.

Always liked 4-Runners. The styling is hit/miss with me in the 4th and 5th Gens.

Hope they are around for many more years

The 4Runner is a proven design. I’m sure they will frick it up in 2022 or 2023 though.

The Ford Bronco Sport Badlands edition is intriguing, for the price.

A friend bought a brand new TRD Pro in green. It looks sick

They still have a 6-speed option like the Tacos?

If so, sure.

I test drove the 4Runner limited last month. It’s nice and all if you plan on taking it off-road, but to be a daily driver on city streets, I found it had one of the worse feeling rides in the class. But it’s more capable off-roading than most in the class.

Very comparable ride to my Land Rover driving in the city.

I'd like for you to meet the real off roader in Toyota's lineup. The Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road


I’ll be that guy.

4Runners are great. Loved mine. But for off-roading there are just as capable or more capable products built by Toyota. 4Runners are fully capable, but there are other options, it’s not a clear winner.

The GX460, underneath the ugly Lexus grill, is a full-time 4WD 4Runner with a 4.6L V8. LC Prado elsewhere.

The J200 has a huge off-road following, especially in the used market. But just because it’s damn expensive and luxurious, doesn’t make it incapable. All components and the frame are much beefier than the 4Runner or GX. Make a mistake off-road and bent steering components could leave you stranded; that just doesn’t happen with the J200. The J200 also has some additional handy features: split tailgate, 360-deg cameras, quadruple the roof load rating, more comfortable daily driver.

eta: value-wise, I’d rank them: GX, 4Runner, LC.
The price on 4Runners has gotten quite high with dealers adding “market adjustments” on top of sticker. Whereas Lexus will run incentives on the GX. We purchased a new GX a few years ago for $5k more than my 4Runner.

Yep, on my 5th one now... started with and still my favorite red 1988, currently have a 2015. Nothing bad to say other then my first 2 were 4 wheel dr which I rarely used but would double any work cost. Think all had over 200k miles when I traded in. Would love to purchase another 1985-1988 one if you come across or have one to sell let me know.

My wife (no pics) has a 2015 Limited and I think its garbage. Very low technology on the inside. The touch screen navigation is like a 2004 Garmin. It drives like a golf cart and has no power.

We will not buy another Toyota product.

Wife and 23 year old son have 4runners. 18 year old daughter has a Camry. I drive a Tacoma.

4Runner is a solid off road rig.
