    ...but not new to Toyota. we just traded our 1996 4Runner in on a 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport, Double Cab, long box. Before the 4Runner I had a 1992 4x4 SR5 V6 Extra Cab. Living in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, we have plenty of backroads and recreational areas that are not easily accessible without a 4x4. Looking forward to another long relationship with my truck.

    The '92 was a great truck but, the baby seat and spouse didn't fit in very well at the same time so we traded it in on the 4Runner which we had for almost 21 years.

    Nope. We spent 15 years in Ontario just after getting the 4Runner - I'd be surprised to ever see it again - I "might" still have a key for it in a box somewhere

    I had the same truck back in 92. Boy was that v6 ever a dog. Gotta admit for the 90k miles i had it, and ran it hard that engine was still running quiet as a watch.
