    My neighbor had a yellow one when I was a kid. He'd let me borrow it to move furniture or get firewood way back in the day. I thought it was a tough truck back then.

    Why is it that I always see these parked as I am getting my Starbucks in the morning.
    (the irony is not lost to me, that I get the coffee in my 4runner).

    Just because they have big tires doesn’t mean they can drive right through the restaurant to pick up their coffee at the counter. They need to use the parking lot too. :D

    I had a Cherokee sport that I bought with salvage title. Straight 6, standard transmission, it was great, except when it rained. Water got in through the back and it was nasty smelling. Once we had kids, I needed to get something better for them to be in, after looking for a hike, I ended up with my first Toyota truck.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    They're still about $40k OVER priced - even with the 22k discount. I hope Stellantis feels serious financial pain. Plus the interior quality materials are total crap. You can find better material in Kia's & Hyundai's.
