Popular opinion is to wait the new 4Runner, seems like, but this is great for what I want

Personally, I am of the opinion that you should use the least fuel consuming vehicle required, unless it's your expensive car that you worked hard to buy. This is why I switched from a jeep to a civic, much more fuel economy, and because it's manual, much more fun to drive.

What will you be using vehicle for? What did your fleet used to be and what was it used for?

Replacing these 3 essentially. 2 door Rubicon 45k miles, trd s/c tundra 160k miles, 2011 mustang gt/cs 70k miles

Plan to get an electric vehicle in the near future as well. Need to build my home infrastructure.

Well if you don't need a box that a pickup offers, you don't need a pickup. If you're hauling a trailer, think of practically what the maximum weight you'd be hauling is, most 4 cylinder SUVs can haul a trailer with a modest load (albeit not as well as a bigger engine). Nobody really needs a jeep. The mustang is cool, I don't know if you'd get the same joy of driving a 4runner as the mustang. Do you live on roads that would be hard for a smaller vehicle to handle? I heard from a friend that the newer 4runners aren't even as good as the new rav4s, and they regretted switching.

lol your friend sounds like an idiot.

Yeah I don't think you appreciate what different types of vehicles are for.

I like both the new 4runner and the new Landcruiser, but I'd prefer the latter. I think it's a better vehicle, and I read the other day that the rear payload capacity for the '25 4runner is only 850lbs, which is insufficient IMO.

Also, nothing wrong with owning multiple vehicles. I have three for myself and my wife has her own.

Man how do I unsubscribe from this thread? This is the last place I wanted to recieve hostility.
Saying no one needs a jeep is hostile 😂 Jeep is perfect for exploring.

I don't give a fuck, just messing around.

You know what the jeep wave is right?

Mutual acknowledgement of having more dollars than sense.

(Btw, I love my jeep. She’s a pavement princess, but I still love her)
