They don't make them like they used to...but in the case of the 4Runner, they still do!

Besides a Porsche, a 4Runner has always been on my bucket list of vehicles to own. And with Porsche prices crazy this year, I raided my fund to buy this for my wife, who has been stuck with minivans for over 10 years. She loves it!

What can I say about the 4Runner so far?
- While dimentionally shorter and narrower than the Odyssey, it feels so much substantial.
- Like driving a tank
- Perfect size, not too big, but big enough, plus no 3rd row makes it extremely roomy behind the rear seats
- 2021 model is the goldilocks edition, in my opinion: all the old school goodness, but with some modern (for a 4 runner) upgrades: LEDs, Toyota sense, push start and remote entry
- Encourages slow and easy cruising - just my style!

The deal
- Emailed the salesman that sold me the 2007 Camry back in the day. He's still there at Ken Shaw (Halder P.)
- After two messages we settled on a price, he took a $1000 deposit and ordered the car...not something they stock lol
- Very easy process, highly recommend
- Total price including Ontario tax: $57,213.82

If you're interested in a deep dive on the 4Runner and what makes this such a unique SUV I would recommend these series of videos done by a Toyota mechanic:

Boss!
Amazing how little they have changed over the years.

Awesome SUV and my wife if very jealous of you. Now just need that Porsche and maybe a GTI and you will be set.

Excellent choice! Always loved the 4Runner.

Other than being gutless and hard on fuel there is a lot to like about the 4Runner. Looks good!

Looks great! Nice contrasting colour to the blue Bimmer.

Great choice. There's a couple of Baracelona Red 4Runners in my neighbourhood, looks so good.

I should buy something like this around 2030, store it, and a few years after new ICE car sales have been banned, sell it for a million bucks

Very nice - great that you and your wife are loving it!

JG20 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 18, 2021, 10:12:40 pm »

Congrats!! Looks awesome. I love 4runners, unfortunately, my wife doesn't, so we ended up getting something else to replace her Mazda5. Show and shine around end of August when it arrives.

Looks great. One in our cul-de-sac, always turns my head. Rare to have an SUV with it's own distinctive style nowadays

Bet it could easily last you 20 years. But I also bet you will get the car itch again long before that.

I don’t know. I tend to hold onto my cars for a very long time.

Shorlaw · « **Reply #18 on:** July 19, 2021, 07:55:32 am »

Congrats! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in that colour and it looks great
