Would I regret owning a 4Runner?

I hear Ya, but we won't get into " mandated "

 

That “J” in the VIN….something to be said there.

 

J= Joyful...Yes?

 

J=+ + ;-)

 

The things that caught my eye was that you said you wouldn't be using the bed every day, but that implied you would be using it. The first time you truly need to haul something big and try to shoehorn it into the back of a 4Runner, when you could have just dropped it into the bed of a pick-up, I can tell you from experience, you will curse not having a pick up.

 

That's what utility trailers are for! No need to sacrifice comfort, interior space or luxury, just to have 1/2 construction vehicle.

 

But good luck finding one with it. I wanted one but every dealer I've called says that do to the current supply chain issues, none of the allotments from Japan are shipping with the MTM system. Also impossible to get a sliding cargo deck. None of the dealers I talked to were taking special orders to add anything Factory .

 

I initially wanted the MTM but in the 5 months I waited for the 4R, I don't think a single OR that came through my dealer had one. I found out the picture quality is pretty bad anyway so I just got one without it and stuck on a front camera.
