Yeah, "wasting transmission fluid" completely erased the author's credibility.

Yeah, that’s some OG The Fast and The Furious dialogue right there. I was expecting the article to mention “blowing welds on the intake manifold” and shit

At least I won't have to replace a Chrysler/Fiat transmission at 100,000 miles.

My wife's 2021 Grand Cherokee had the head gaskets replaced at 25,000kms (15,000miles) lol

OK, you may be onto something here.

In less than 10 seconds, with only this request "Write a negative summary of the down sides to owning a fifth generation 4 runner", Chat GPT came up with the following in blue.

The fifth generation Toyota 4Runner is a popular SUV known for its off-road capabilities and rugged design. However, there are also several downsides to owning this vehicle that should be considered before making a purchase.

Firstly, the 4Runner's fuel economy is poor, with an average of only 16-19 mpg depending on the model. This can add up to a significant expense for drivers who use their vehicle for daily commutes or long trips.

Additionally, the 4Runner's handling and maneuverability can be challenging, especially in tight spaces or urban environments. The vehicle's large size and weight can also make it difficult to park or navigate through narrow roads.

Another issue with the 4Runner is its outdated technology features. The vehicle's infotainment system is not as advanced as those found in newer models, and the lack of smartphone integration can be frustrating for tech-savvy drivers.

Furthermore, the 4Runner's ride quality can be bumpy and uncomfortable, especially on rough roads or off-road terrain. The vehicle's suspension system is not as refined as some of its competitors, which can lead to a less smooth driving experience.

Finally, the 4Runner's price point is relatively high compared to other midsize SUVs on the market, which may not be worth it for drivers who prioritize fuel efficiency, technology features, or a smooth ride over off-road capabilities and ruggedness.

Overall, while the fifth generation Toyota 4Runner has its strengths, potential buyers should carefully consider its downsides before making a purchase.

I don't think the article is AI, personally.

I think Chat GPT is more accurate (and fair) than the article, tbh.

Quite odd that she did not experience the danger to manifold error that plagues the 4Runner's...

Haha! My buddies and I still make fun of that stuff. Any time we hit a car show, you're guaranteed to hear at least one line out of those movies.
