 The 4Runner is simply one of the most reliable long-term ownership SUV's out there - the statistics on how many are still on the road are off the charts (over 90% I believe).This feels as if it was carved out of a solid piece of steel.That reliability is the main reason why I purchased mine.We have two Toyota's - in additon to the 4Runner we also have a Highlander as well.The Highlander has more space to be honest / better for my wife & daughter, but it lacks the truck-like qualities I wanted (hence the 4Runner).
