    I cant stand the grill styling now. They look like the lip on a catfish. I also love you always see 200-250k miles 4 runners still for sale for $4k.

    Yeah we plan on a kiddo in a couple of years so I'm just trying to make the vehicle change now if possible.

    That doesn't look like stock suspension to me... I'd take along look at the suspension setup to make sure it was done right.

    Yeah I went back and noticed that. Thought it looked a little high for stock. I'll just be going new with the price of used 4Runners so high

    For the little bit you would save it seems like it would be worth it to buy new. Also, not sure if you're looking at ones with the 3rd row seating but I hated that when I went and saw one with it. It wasn't practical for an adult to sit back there and having a kid that far back seems like it would be more of a PITA than anything. It also didn't fold down all the way flat so I checked that off the list of things I might want.

    It would tow a Polaris ranger (1000lbs +trailer) with relative ease wouldn't it?

    '16 QS Tacoma DCOR4x4
    I was in the same boat as the OP after purchasing our first home. I had a '13 FJ Cruiser TT and contemplated purchasing a small utility trailer but I honestly don't want to have that and a car trailer parked on my property. I wanted the truck after seeing the QS in person. I explained to my wife that we could benefit from having the bed space rather than have a utility trailer be an eye sore. Now I have the truck.

    My wife and I have been looking into getting a QS 4R. If you can find one, a new one is cheaper than a used one with 40k miles. It's crazy how well they hold their value.

    Pretty sure the SR5 will treat you well, hasn't disappointed me yet. At least not enough to justify paying an additional $5k-$7k. I don't get super crazy when I'm out but for the occasional "oh, crap" my Runner has served me well. My Taco was only an SR5 too and I took him to some crazy places. I might not have gone as fast as the guys with the bigger, more built rigs but I still survived....more about the driver than the rig in some cases. ;)

    Luckily my decision is easier since I already have a 10' trailer, but yeah the used Runners hold value like crazy

    Call Jeff Raim at Family Toyota in Burelson, TX. Have him look up the Trail you would like, and quote a price. You might be surprised.

    Thanks for the reference! He was able to get the trail under $35,000 which was perfect.
