    Well I did it, found a 4runnerpro at an agreeable pride and pulled the trigger.

    The tacoma wasn't the best fit for me, but I hope ya'll continue enjoying your trucks!

    If I didn't need (ok, want) a truck bed and a manual transmission, I wouldn't mind a 4Runner. Nice vehicle.

    I’m excited to see all the changes on the remodeled 2020. Everything about the current gen is awesome except the dash IMO. The screen doesn’t do it justice

    I’m debating on a new gen 4Runner or a Jeep Rubicon for my next vehicle. It’ll be a few years but I’m getting one of ‘em. Keepin the Taco for sure tho.
