Had to throw that in there in a thread about fricking women and 4-runners?

I swear to God some of you think about Biden more than pussy.

A-trac is the shite too. You can't get stuck in a 4runner.

Men, in general, don't drive SUVs.

4Runner girls have slightly less to prove than Jeep chicks.

I’ve put my TRD pro model through things that my Z71 Silverado would have got stuck in. It’s amazing what these things will go through!!

My 1990 4Runner was the best. Wish I still had it.

I have a female paraprofessional that had a Tahoe, traded for a 4Runner. She thought it was the greatest thing on Earth. Had it lifted, put big tires on it. Looked ok. She drove it, but missed all the creature comforts. Her husband drove it somewhere and basically told her what a shitty vehicle it was.

She drives a brand new Tahoe, lifted, big tires. It is way way way nicer than the 4Runner, and I guess she is the only non-4Runner on the school pick up line.

The 4Runner craze is just everybody’s doing it thing, because there is relatively no technology on those things.

FWIW, My wife (no pics) drives a McLaren on weekends and dailies a Mercedes G- Wagon during the day.

As a female who Has always driven fords, primarily Mustangs , I chose the 4 runner after about 2 years of looking. I drove numerous vehicles from sedans to full sized trucks.
Loaded to bare knuckles.
After speaking with the service writer (good friend owns the shop) I asked him about 2 vehicles I narrowed it dwn to the F150 & the 4 runner .
He listed several things to be weary of in the ford from flex fuel issues to issues with certain engines (not the 302) when asked about the 4runner he said “we never see them “
I got a 4X4 that can pull the boat, skis and trees out of my neighbors & son’s yards. Hasn’t gotten stuck yet & it looks bad arse!
I love it but hate the shite gas mileage which wasn’t an issue until FJB !
Wish I knew how to post a picture of it!!

now silver/ gray 4 runners.



I bought one in 2016.


Now my wife drives it. ?


My mom has a silver one, and so does my cousin's wife

My brother has a white TRD Pro.

That post about women having the limited with 17" wheels in silver or gray, and men having the TRD versions might as well be a universal truth

Because I am educated about vehicles & wanted something more practical than a mustang & chose a reliable truck that does more than whatever pos u drive you most likely drive, automatically makes a dike…
Or does it trigger you that I know more than “what a girl “ should… perhaps way more than you even…
Or that I help pull our toys & do yard work along side my husband…
Hope you don’t reproduce….

Just……wow.

Are you admitting you’ve never left the state of Louisiana?
