Whats the best thing you like about your runner?

OK all list the best thing you like about your 4runner? Also list what it has that no other has.

The best thing I like about my 95 runner is that I feel very safe in it. Just seems that way to me. Also I like the way it feels, nice and tight all around. I also like my sun roof as it just sucks the smoke right out with no problem.

Reliability and utility. I love knowing I can take my truck most anywhere and make it back home as well.

Sheer words cannot explain my love for that truck. If it's back window wasn't being stupid at the moment, and the 3.0 wasn't so 3.slow, I wouldn't have a single bad thing to say!

Reliability, manuverability, fuel mileage, and the zip factor, [ can zip into and out of places bigger rigs can't ].

I like the growl mine has, its only a 3.0 but I've always liked its sound. Also i like my ad bass mud tires. And the reliability is why i bought it. the older model toyota trucks and 4 runners (1st and 2nd gen) look badder n' hell. I also like being able to explore the south west hills where I live. Alot of rough country out there so its neat to see it.

I just wish I had a solid axle front end and a pickup not a 4runner

I like how photogenic it is.



My absolute favorite thing to do with it on a nice summers day is pop the tailgate down (I'm going to miss that when I buy a new one) and lay in the back reading a book by a lake.

I also very much enjoy how the vehicle feels like an extension of you. I hate vehicles that feel like you're sitting on a sofa.

Having bought the truck when I was still young and impressionable, this truck has also helped shape who I am. I'm sure if I bought a civic and lowered it, I'd be a much different person than I am today.

It was a great size - not small but not huge either, looked mean, cleared 31" tires stock, and the interior was basically brand new even though it was 13 years old.

I love that as much as I push it, and Whip it, and do things that no Ordinary SUV can do, that I will still come out driving like the day it rolled of the line...

It's my dream SUV, And my dream finally came ture...

And like Stated above, It's Not a Ford, or a Chevy, or a Dodge...

It's A Beast... It's A TOYOTA!!!!

my 90....o boy...she's one hell of a truck that took one hell of a beatin....in less than a year i put over 13,000 miles on it, being my first vehical, i beat the snot out of it and it took everything, numorous junkyard trip loaded with stuff, wheelin the balls off of her, only broke down once for me and that was not even fair for it cuz the day b4, i sucked up water, and a mud clump the size of a basketball was stuck to the alternator...next day the battery completely died...no biggy...i still love the truck, and now since she had a good run, im gunna start colecting parts this winter and making her over next spring...the best thing about the runner is the rear window goes down, and that the stuff ppl need momentum for and break stuff, i pop it in low, and crawl over lol

all of the above
mine is great because for a 93 she now has 178K miles and I would not hesitate to drive it from coast to coast
plus, the 4rnr is a nimble, tough, dependable, and ass kickin truck
my hunt buds now want an old truck like mine cause she can go down narrow trails without getting stuck and even turn around
