For what it’s worth, I bought a 2010 4runner a few months back. I came from a shit ton of VWs, a late model Xterra, old junk trucks, etc etc, and this 4runner is just about perfect for my needs. It’s capable enough, drives great, cleans up nice, looks good, and has plenty of aftermarket options for when I get bored. I almost think it rides too much like a car… but taller/stiffer springs and real tires will fix that.
After only a few months with this, if I had a real need for a pickup- I’d entertain a Tacoma in a heartbeat.
Plus- the tacoma and 4runner forums are full of good guys with info.
I’ve read that the newer 4runners get 20+ mpg. any truth to that? They are pretty dope suvs. What year and model xterra did you have? I kind of have a hard on for those…
