With how quickly tech becomes dated, and obsolescent, I like that philosophy.

My mom is 60 year empty nester and I absolutely love her 4Runner Limited.

The only slight setback is MPG kind of sucks but would still drive one.

That’s wrong. People buy Land Cruiser because they aren’t those other vehicles. I’m not saying all LC get used off road, but certainly at a higher rate than those other vehicles.

I really like the 4runners as do most drivers. A lot of good there. What are the negatives? Opinions or experiences.

They’re driven by posers.

No one, I mean no one is taking their $50k 4Runner off road on anything that even remotely needs a guide book. They’re made to look sporty...for people who aren’t.

They seem to be a girls truck from what I've noticed.

4.0L V6 that's neither particularly fast nor particularly slow. It has the same 5 speed auto that they've been using in the 4Runner since 2003.

What are your personal thoughts on the motor, and drivetrain?


We have the previous (4th gen) generation 4Runner with the 4.7L V8 and love it. I've driven the newer ones with the V6 as rentals and a friend who has one I've driven numerous times - each time I can't wait to get back into mine afterward. The 6 needs significantly more throttle to get moving or to pass traffic than does my 8 and it always feels like you're having to wind it out. To me, the V6 in that platform is a deal breaker and if something happened to ours I would immediately go get another one with the V8 instead of the V6. I understand that the V6 4.0L is a really good engine and I'd probably be happy with it in a Tacoma ... but not my 4Runner nor my Tundra V8's.
