    After a lifetime of Ford products (2 Explorers, Ranger P/U, Mustang, Escort) I've converted to Toyota!! My last vehicle was my second Explorer (2010) in which the electronics between the computer, throttle sensor and transmission sensor all went bad and the dealer couldn't fix as the wiring harness was so old it didn't match up with their diagnostic equipment and new ones were incompatible. Good thing as it left me stalled on the interstate many times. Anyway, I bought a 2018 4Runner in like-new condition last year. Seriously, this thing was garage kept and driven about 8K a year and meticulously maintained. It's the Premium package which has more bells and whistles than I've ever had in a vehicle. And, a full leather interior (also never had that!). I'm deeply in love with the SUV!! It drives beautifully, it's great on gas and looks brand new. I'm looking forward to learning more about this awesome vehicle via this site. Cheers!

    Almost didn't click the post doubting if its a 2025 4ruuner.

    A big congratz for finding one from the last of reliable 4runners, a 5th Gen 4runner. Nice score. :101010:

    My 2010 Explorer got about 270 miles per tank of gas. My 4Runner gets around 350. Huge difference to my wallet!!
