It's what she wanted and I do like driving it, but God is that thing full of compromise and so dated. It's a 2020 vehicle with a freaking super long geared 5 speed automatic and standard fuel injection. Yeah, it's a beast off-road, but neither her nor I have any experience traversing anything beyond a severely washed out country gravel road  |
Yeah but if a wet porkchop in the dry and a stick of butter in the wet is no objection, the 4Runner is a great daily.
My wife daily'd a 4Runner for many years as the family truckster and I drove it on long family trips. Great rig for its purpose.
Make no mistake, the 4Runner is no 911.
