Detailed review:
I have owned my 4Runner for a year now. I live in the great northeast & have a 4 season camp in the mountains. I previously owned a Pathfinder & this vehicle 'smokes' it ! Seriously, I can't imagine a better SUV for both street & offroad. The traction control & antiskid make it nearly impossible to spin it out (forget doing donuts !). Lock the hubs & throw it in low range & it will climb a mountain for you. It performs very well in muddy fields, snow covered roads, & interstates and is frugal w/ (regular) fuel as well :) Can't go wrong if you want / need a rugged SUV.
