Have had 2 4Runners and both were great vehicles. The downsides; they're slow and suck gas.

Both were really nice to drive, definitely less trucklike than expected. Him & I both preferred the V6 to the V8.


The engines in those are basically the same as the ones currently on sale, with very few changes. Just a point of reference for ya.

Can't be slower than my Malibu Razz
For a small 4 cyl sedan, it shockingly only gets about 22MPG. Best I've gotten was a 12hr drive from Houston to KCMO & got 29.8mpg, couldn't even crack into the 30s.
So, the hit for going to a truck/SUV isn't as huge as it was leaving my Mercedes, which could do very high 30s on the highway.

My 2015 Limited, has a suspension where the driver front shocks are connected to the passenger rear shocks with a buffer cylinder between. Of course the passenger front connects to the driver rear. It’s an attempt to stop body roll over rough terrain. I’m not sure how well that works, but I do know if you start having a leaky shock (anywhere), you have to replace the whole thing @ around $5,600. Ask me how I know.

Roll Eyes Not at you, but at ridiculously over-complicated and needless shit that, when - not if - it breaks, costs a fortune to repair.
