I just got through building my house and have other projects ongoing, ie: detached garage, fence, barn. I am able to roll the back window down and haul 16' boards in my 4runner!!! (although not many at once) No other suv allows you to do this. Also, I need a four door vehicle for work so trucks are out (unless crew cab) and if I need to haul alot of lumber or something that won't fit in my 4runner, I can always pull a trailer. Now I know everyone is different (otherwise it would be boring) but I find myself wondering why any guy would choose to drive a car? It really limits the amount of "manly" things you can do... (unless they have a second truck or use a trailer, which most new cars I see aren't set up for) Just wanted to share for whats it's worth (not much) also, a big thanks to yotatech, you guys saved me about $200 a couple of months ago by helping me diagnos and fix my starter w/ new copper connectors as opposed to buying a new one. I have 176k on my '98 and I am planning on this being the last vehicle I ever own (gasoline powered anyway) even if and when I have to rebuild, am I crazy???

I'm in the same boat. I love my 4Runner. Its paid for and I'll probably have it for a LONG TIME!

3rd to that note. I've put down a tarp and hauled ~25 bags of mulch in the back of mine. Its an extremely versatile vehicle.
