  1. Why did you pick your 4Runner?

    I'd been driving a pickup in some for or another since 1990. But my life has changed and a pickup is no longer really needed at this point, so I was considering switching to an SUV. But I'm a big guy and still like sitting up high like in trucks, so a normal SUV wouldn't do. Tahoe's are too...

I got abouty 20.5 mpg going to Dallas thanks to a SW tail wind, but that same wind knocked me down to...
