 I decided to trade my 2WD 4 yr. old 
4Runner for the AWD/4WD Sport. I read 
the reviews and checked out re-sale 
values before I bought. The Sport rides 
better, is quieter, and has more power. 
My 4Runner had a much harser ride. I 
wish the Sport had tighter steering. I 
intend to drive my Sport over 100,000 
miles. I think the re-sale at that 
point will be only a little less, and 
it cost $4,000 less, than than a 
4Runner similarly equiped. I pull some 
boats and find the Sport a perfect 
compromise between comfort and utility. 
My Sport has had no problems to date. 
IF that continues (my 4Runner 
was "bulletproof"), I'll stay very 
happy with my choice.
