Yeah that guy has no business driving like that. He didn't even attempt to steer into that at all. Looks like it was a nice 4Runner too. The bottom even looks good.

I'd say at this point he should have been doing the exact opposite.

I thought 4Runners where rollover risk until they added the VSC then Consumer Report rated them a best buy, good pic

consumer reports usually rates for safety and realiability for choosing a family car and seldom for the trucks abilities as in 4WD. They do however always recommend the 4runner as good pick when buying used.
