    It takes my wife and I 1-2 years easy to research and ponder any major purchase.

    Nice! I bought a 2024 X5 for my honey last October. Hoping the 2024 4Runner I want is still available tomorrow. When I get it locked down, I’ll post some info. In the meantime, here’s my 2016…

    The last of the 5th gens :thumbsup: I was borderline on the X5 Xdrive 40i but I wanted something more enthusiastic but not as extreme as the X3 M hence the M40i.

    Put my cross bars on it yesterday so it’ll be like this for a while. May 2024 build date. Made it to Houston the week after the hurricane. It had 9 miles on it when I bought it.

    I'm still trying to hunt down a "trail" model. 2 stealerships had listings, one in WY and the other in CO. Neither stealership was interested in getting me some under-carriage pics even though the one in Ft Morgon CO claimed that they would. After waiting 2 days I texted back the sales bafoon and she claimed that the rig was sold. I just confirmed by calling the stealership that it's still available.

    Missing My Last Tacoma --- Had 11 Toyota trucks in the past and many other Toyota cars too.
    Went from Hilux's to 4Runner to Tundra's to Tacoma's to RAV4's and now back to a 4Runner (bought one of the last ones in this area before Gen 6).

    Had a bunch of other Toyotas too, but I will keep this 4Runner long term. Wife has Toyota too and son is getting a Corolla soon.

    Yes, it is old technology and design, without a tiny motor with a turbo :rolleyes: ... but this is exactly why I bought it ... to stay away from the new stuff.

    I love that bullet proof 4L-V6 and transmission.
