    WAY better. A bit wider and the seats are great. As much as I loved that Tacoma, it was not real comfortable on long trips. I have driven the 'Runner to and from WV 3 times and it was great.

    good to know......
    i went to about 20 dealerships in the last 2 days from here to montauk
    out of them 20 i found 2 honest ones..... i found a few i liked but it's tough with a foot of snow on ground, snows everday, 3 foot drifts, cars covered and frozen....errrrr
    i am going to try a few private sales i found but that is no pick-nick either

    I needed to go with a dealer to get rid of that Jeep. Needed to trade it in because I had a loan on it. I just got lucky finding a low mile 4R within a reasonable distance.

    If I was building a 2nd vehicle/trail rig. First Gen Tacoma/3rd Gen 4Runner (smaller, more maneuverable.).

    Daily driver. 2nd/4th gen for the comfort, extra power, etc.

    it seems cash is not king at the dealerships these days
    they all want you to finance it or most of it.....
    my credit kinda sucks im sure......but toyo gave me 2.9% and it sucked then....
    but i would rather pay cash...save on ins. as no full coverage needed then....
    idk im just about ready to go get the one of the 2 i looked at today from a dealer and spend all my money......
    errrr

    here is the first one
    http://www.securitydodgechrysler.ne...-4Runner-ee7c8b950a0a00497601992059752bc7.htm
    $18 and change out door

    and
    http://www.liautofind.com/web/used/Toyota-4Runner-2005-Copiague-New-York/11445751/
    $15 out the door....thats with tax title ect..
    looks allot better in the pics.....but again its a mess out right now......
    but belt squealed when i first started it...then seemed to go away....
    looked real rusty, but didn't climb under.....:if i an ready to get serious i will climb under

    I like the silver one, just because I like the newer front end.
