[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I’m late to the party, I see a lot of 4Runners around now and they look good. Do you love yours?  What are the ins and outs?[/quote]

DH and I have had two 4Runners. Here are the pros and cons:

Pros:
Extremely reliable
Extremely durable (uses proven, but older technology. No garbage CVT transmissions here)
Service at Toyota dealers is reasonable (IMO)
Fairly comfortable interior
Depending on the trim level, seats can be had in fabric, SofTex (fake leather) and real leather
Roll down tailgate window is great
Enough power to keep up with traffic (and then some)
Great when going off road, also fantastic in poor weather.
Outstanding resale value
Uses regular unleaded fuel 
One of a handful of Toyota products still made in Japan (fit, finish, and assembly quality were flawless in ours)

Cons:
Only one engine option ( a 4.0l V6)
Automatic transmission only
Interior may feel a bit smaller than expected 
Infotainment is a bit dated (I believe Toyota did step it up a bit for the 2020 models. Now they have Android Auto and CarPlay)
Fuel economy is awful. Even with a decent size tank (23 gal) your range for road tripping is going to be sort of limited. I’ve never broken 20 mpg on the highway 
Towing capacity (per Toyota) is only 5,000 lb (this may/may not be important to you)

The 4Runner is a vehicle that will last a very long time. Aside from the Jeep Wrangler, it is the only reasonably priced SUV out there that can handle serious off reading. Fuel economy leaves a lot to be desired, but the 4Runner is worth it. Few other vehicles available now are as durable, rugged, reliable and easy to operate as a 4Runner
