Toyota 4 Runner--2 thumbs up!

I have owned a Toyota 4 Runner for approximately 8 years. We currently upgraded to the model that includes the 3rd row seat due to wanting a 4th child.The model that has the 3rd row seat is nice because you can remove the 3rd row seat. The 4Runner is a strong, dependable, family vehicle. We live in an area where we need 4 Wheel drive in the winter time. The 4Runner offers 4 Wheel drive and does wonderful in the snow and slippery weather. The 4Runner is great for taking family vacations because there is a lot of cargo space, but it also has ski racks on the roof so you can attach one of those car storage systems on top. Another pro to the 4Runner is that they have a great reputation for lasting many years.They are also very safe and hold up well if you should get in an accident. A con to the 4Runner is that like other SUVs, the gas milage is not all that wonderful.But, for me, I can overlook that because I know that I am driving a safe, dependable, family vehicle.
