    id say trade for a 2 year old rav-4 if you dont want to lose your ass on the trade in. they might be able to wash the payments. my gf just picked up her subaru forester,new, and this thing is sweet and extremely SAFE. take a look at them. cant hurt and very well equipt at 24k.

    If you could get out from under the Mustang, I'd say 4Runner. If not, stick with what you got.

    Oh yeah! Congrats to the OP! I have one on the way myself!

    Not trying to thread hijack, but I'm looking for a child/new house compatible vehicle as well.

    My wife has an '08 Rav4, and I'm strongly leaning towards a 2009+ Tacoma DBL Cab TRD. A change from a '99 Acura TL.

    If had my choice, my wife would get '10 4Runner, but she had the Rav4 when we met.

    Umm, maybe it's just me, but some 4dr cars look pretty damn good. IMO, better than Mustangs at least.

    I'd stay with the Stang, at least until it's paid down and then go for the 4Runner. Yota all the way :thumbsup:

    My best friend has a wife, 3 kids, and 2 dogs in their Runner, no problems with space.
