Comming from a 1997 Ford 460 powered F250 HD 4x4 I was hating life that I had to get something with a backseat for the new addition to our family. But since I got into the 4Runner I have not had one complaint. Never has it stranded me, never has anything ever happend. I get over twice the gas mileage and it can still pull a decent load on a trailer. It's a 1995 SR5, I am still learning a bit about Yota's. If you guys have any tips please shoot them my way.
