I love this truck. It is very reliable. I have had no mechanical issues with it. We have been on many family trips and it's had plenty of room for luggage and everything else we needed to bring. It is a quality truck!

I like Toyota and Lexus. Good quality cars. They can cost you since Toyota is known to make things "optional". hehe. Gas mileage is alright, I can live with it. I love my LED tail lights and my projector headlamps. :) It's quite peppy for its size and weight. Overall a good SUV. =)

I would recommend the 4runner to anyone. I have put 200K miles and still have the original brakes, battery, etc. on the car. What other car could you say that you have 200K with no issues. I have only changed the oil on the car. I love this car.

4th gen 4runners are a big mid-size SUV. Their truck-like body on frame construction makes them a really sturdy companion. Reliability has been great, I haven't used it off road, but it is very comfy on road, and for a high, heavy vehicule, roadholding is quite good. lots of cargo space and rear seat legroom is very good.

If you're looking for a mid size SUV, get a 4Runner V6. It has timing chain and sealed auto transmission, which equals no maintenance required except for oil changes every 5k miles. Just wish they made these with 3rd row seats.
