What Convinced You to Go with the 6th Gen?

Previously vehicle was totaled. Used prices for 5th gen were very close to 6th gen. It makes more sense to get a brand new vehicle than a used one at that point to me.

Last daily driver was a ‘16 Jeep Wrangler Willys edition. Drove a 4 Runner for a week and decided it was more civilized.

Traded in the Jeep, bought the only red 4Runner on a lot within 100 miles. Hybrid. First Toyota, no regrets yet.

Previous owner of 3rd gens...loved them. hated the interior ergos of the 4th n 5th gen especially the door controls. needed the tow capability of the 6th gen and loved the platinum HUD, ergos, and with the underground, no need to remove any badging. will say dont care for the clunky start-stop but a couple of workarounds like towhaul and M8.
cheers,

I had owned several different vehicles through the years, but never a 4Runner until recently. I have always liked 4Runners and, in back of mind, had a desire to own a new 4Runner. Timing-wise, I was looking for another vehicle, preferably a hybrid, to replace an aging vehicle that was increasingly requiring more repairs. I purchased my 6Gen 4Runner Limited iForce Max for the 4Runner's overall reputation for reliability, rugged construction & design, and its true off-road abilities and lineage. It was also a plus to me that the 6Gen offered a hybrid version and is comfortable for normal daily road driving. These days there are a lot of vehicles being marketed by other manufacturers that are loosely called a "SUV" and have reliability issues. I also didn't want a "boutique" SUV or "kids taxis" manufactured by any of the luxury car manufacturers. Both of those types of so-called "SUVs" would likely get stuck / immobilized or have components quickly torn off driving in a true off-road environment or adverse winter conditions. What I also like about the 4Runner is that there are a lot of reputable third party companies engineering, producing, and selling performance improving, utility enhancing, and vanity components and accessories for it. Most of all, I love the large community of 4Runner owners.
