3rd
Just traded in my 2nd gen for a 3rd gen and it's a 50/50 split on how I feel about it.
The 2nd gen wasn't as nice, but I kinda liked it for that reason. The 3rd is a little more luxurious than my personality. Cost of problems compared to cost of trade in meant getting rid of it was financially the right thing to do.
I still miss it though.

I knew if I ever was to get an SUV it would be a 4Runner plus my mom has a '00 Limited and I really liked how it drove. I even thought 1st gens were something special back in '85 when I was in HS before the term SUV was really known.
I went with a 3rd gen since I couldn't afford new and they seem to have the fewest issues and more power was a consideration with the 3.4L.

I've had this 4Runner for 2 months. As soon as I replace the shocks/springs it should be a sweeeeet ride. I didn't know crap about which brand to purchase but I did a search and about six thousand topics showed up. Popular subject.
