I'll just have to say that in the future when I'm buying SUV's I'm staying American. No complaints about the quality (as far as breakdowns) but it's real slow and the first time I took the thing mudding I got it stuck (NEVER had been stuck in my old 88 Blazer).

My friends had no luck pulling me out either, had to pay a towing company like $130 to drive across the street onto this private property at like 5AM to pull me out...

That teaches me to go mudding at the bottom of what I thought was a semi-dried up pond in a Japanese SUV....

V6 on ANY truck/SUV is pointless. ALWAYS get the V8... Not offered on the 4-Runner back then (just the Land Cruiser if you want to pay that kind of $$).

Next car = something like a Tahoe... late 90's model because the new body style is bunk. AND I think they offer a 454 in it.

I can't drive a normal car very well... keep running up on the curb on turns. SUV's and trucks have the ground clearance -- that makes it not sting so bad (and you can play it off like you did it on purpose).
