What is your favorite 4runner body style?

When I first saw the 1st gen 4Runner in a Car & Driver mag, I promised myself that I'm gonna buy myself a 4Runner someday.
My Dream has come into reality. I drive a KZN185W Hilux Surf (3rd gen). As the Toyota slogan in Japan says : Drive Your Dreams.

1st gen overall - most truck like of them all - 2nd gen a close second, followed by the 3rd.......the 4th gen resides in some trans-dimensional void of weirdness. Like someone mentioned before, if they could put 4th gen technology in a 1st gen package it would be unreal.

If I wanted a Jeep Grand Cherokee, I would have bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee! That's what I think the 4th gens look like.

Well, what do you guys think, is it final? 1st and 2nd gen are kind of close. Mabe I shoud wait untill election day... Clearly 3rd gen wins the oveall but 2nd gen is really coming around. I think we need more votes!

I like the style and look of the 2nd gen, i HATE the rear gate setup. i'd say 3rd gen or 1st. 1st gen cause its a real truck and the top comes off. 3rd cause of the style and improovements on the 2nd gen platform, rear gate engine etc...

I fell in love with the White and Silver Limited 3rd Gens and have never looked back, out of all the 4Runners, this one is my wifes, the other two had SAS on them and got the crap beat out of them, this one is my wifes, I will probably buy a limited 3rd gen when I get back to the states and SAS it out, btu I couldn't stand to beat the crap out of it. Funny stuff, I guess the grass is always greeener on the other side, I vote for the one style I didn't have

I like the 1st gens the most, both for functionality and style. But i think the 2 door 2nd gens had the best looks, ive always wanted to buy one and cut the roof off and run a soft top. That would be sweet.
