Used 2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Premium

For 22 years and 503k miles I kept my first ever car purchase. A 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ and when I donated her while still running like a Swiss watch I was devastated. I knew nothing made today would be as tough or have an engine that would be as dependable and my mechanic friend said the closet vehicle I'd be able to replicate that dinosaur technology unchanged solid Ness minus the tape deck and cigarette lighter which was cool but never used was in fact the 4runner. So I went to the dealership brought home my 5th generation 4runner and I've gotta say I can't find anything other than it's not my old XJ it's perfect. Absolutely solidly built! The reliability on the 4Runners (at least for us) has been great. Vehicle is on a truck frame so the ride is little different than a crossover but it is not an issue to us at all. We love that the rear window goes up and down. Controls are easy. The one thing, the 4WD selector is in a weird place, right next to the front cup holder. I think a better place would have been next to heat controls, more out of the way. Head room with sun roof is a about 1" less than our older model, but so far not an issue. Backup camera is nice to have. Engine has plenty of power. We have noticed the mileage is 1-2 MPG lower than our old model and whats rated but we live in a very cold climate and maybe it needs to be broke in also. We are seeing 19 MPG HWY & 16-17 average. Not sure we will monitor and see what changes come summer. Seats are comfortable, ride for us is quiet. View area is clear, A-pillars are not overly obstructive.
