 I think that if you're looking for a car and have read reviews online, you've realized it's hard to trust even major sources. This is hands down one of the best VEHICLES you can buy today. When major sources review cars, they go through a Matrix and index values based on arbitrary variables. They don't spend that intimate time you need to really get to know a car. Cars with a lot of bells and whistles will stand out on the testing circuits, but only a handful of cars can really stand the test of time. The new Toyota 4runner is that car and an impeccable one. It may not get the fuel efficiency of modern crossovers, or have the luxurious amenities of today's crossover SUVs. But this car will literally stand through the all tests the earth provides without too much compromise. Rain or shine, snow or ice, mountain or overpass the 4runner will deliver a fun, safe ride with the utmost confidence. I would recommend lifting it a couple inches, getting new wheels and all-terrain tires -- then it will be unstoppable. Literally a beast, that's not overdone like modern American trucks with huge in your face, cringeworthy macho-man-grills. The 4runner is absolutely one of the best cars made today, with just the right amount of brawn and style. Don't trust the Car and Driver tester types that can't understand this type of need and segment. These guys nailed it, and I sadly think the secret is out, as I'm seeing more of them on the streets. The absolute best SUV if you want something to last and plow you through any condition, any time, any place. Wish it had a V8 Diesel and cornering lights!
