If it's an SUV, there's a good chance it's not very hard to roll that biatch over.

oh yea I heard about one a long time ago. I knew a guy that rolled his 97 4 runner was brand new fall asleep on the wheel and went down into the ditch realized he was sleeping woke up quickly went back on the road and flipped it. rolled it like 3 times. He walked away to. The roof stayed intact and everything.

the reason i made this thread was because it was raining out in tampa a few weekends ago a few friends and i were going out and a friend of mine said that 4runners tip very easily. i know all svu's can tip but i was just wondering if 4runners were worse.

Any SUV that sits up high like that has a good possibility of doing so. The new "SUVs" (Toyota Highlander, Infiniti FX, Acura MDX, Lexus RX330, etc) that are based on a car chassis are much less likely too, as the center of gravity is lower.

Just be careful, and be mindful of the death trap you so unfortunately have to drive.
