    I’ve been having issues lately with space in my truck. Loved the truck! But I carry a lot of gear and when you add 4 kids, it just didn’t work.

    I’ve been talking about 4runners for a year or so. I went to look this morning. Decided on a black off-road and started the purchasing process. I wasn’t thrilled on black. They look fantastic, just hard to clean and I am BUSY!

    While they were getting the paperwork finished, I walked back out to the lot, and this little lady was there. It had been unloaded 30 min before. I ran back inside and told him I wanted to get this one instead, obviously apologizing like crazy. Salesman was AMAZING!! Zero hints at being annoyed. 5 hours later, I got to take this little lady home. He threw in a 125k mile bumper to bumper warranty.

    2021 4- Runner Venture. It is amazing!!! Could not be happier

    hahaha!! Exactly!! “In theory”. MSRP was $48k, there was also a mark up. This was one of TWO 4wd 4-runners in San Diego so I didn’t have a lot of ground to haggle. Let’s just say I closed my eyes when I signed the paper

    So far the quality is 1000 times better. Transmission is smoother, seats more comfortable. The room is insane!! Still can’t get over it

    Enjoy! It’s a nice ride and pay what you will on it so long as you can afford it and are happy! I am sure the 4 kiddos will love the space!

    Hummm. 4Runner. Supposedly the family option for us too according to many. But we are human sized people and the 4 door Tacoma can seat all 4 of us apparently.
    Also that bubbly wagon would epic fail at:

    -The potted palm trees I moved
    -The dead fish hauled back from the ocean
    -The chickens in a coop
    -4 Mtn bikes
    -Beach crap full of sand and sea weed
    -Stroller (can be carelessly tossed /accessed from almost any side, into the bed . instead of standing in line at the rear “hatch” only)
    -Holding pen for toddler while
    I work around the garage
    -water heater mover
    -6000lb boat with trailer
    -A Million red bricks in the bed
    -Dirt and flag stone
    -Using the bed as a platform for ladder to trim palm tree
    -Pill of fire wood full of black windows
    -tail gate as table for mixing drinks



    Suv? bro at that point why not just get a van.

    Damn! This is nice! I've been in a 4runner while my Taco is being repaired and it is definitely a nice vehicle.

    I’ve got a utility trailer and I’ve been able to move all of that with my 4runner. The 4runner is a great offroad and family vehicle.

    You seem really bothered, you doing ok?

    Nice. My wife loves her 2019 4Runner sr5 premium. We definitely take that on any long trips over my Tacoma.

    Nice ride. I have had 3 Tacoma’s and we had 1 4Runner for 11 years that my wife drove. I still regret selling it. Hands down the 4Runner is the better vehicle for most. Enjoy.

    it was really hard handing the Tacoma keys over. Really is a fantastic truck.

    same time, it is really crazy at just how functional this vehicle is!!!

    No no wait the more I think about it the less it makes sense . With the pristine leather you don’t mind gutted fish or dirt inside ?

    if the load is too large or dirty for the interior yeah, it’s not really that much of an inconvenience and backing up with a trailer isn’t difficult for me. Is it easier to use a truck bed, yeah. However having an suv has its advantages as well.

    however I’m curious on why you’re so militant over someome owning a 4runner?
