What'd you drive before your 6th Gen 4Runner?

[4RNerAndScrubs]

Drove a 2023 5th Gen Limited with only 26K on it. Wonderful vehicle. Wish I could have afforded both but happy with my
TRD Sport Premium, Yesterday on a short road trip, I managed
24.5 MPG. Impressive!

We do miss our 5th Gen and we know the quality and reliability of this model could run a lifetime!! Our lil brother loves it and it has a 3rd row for his lil ones to grow into for years to come like ours did.

Before my 6th Gen, I had a 2025 Neesan Xtera, until it died in 2025. I wanted a new Xtera but they stopped making them in 2017 (I think). But when I saw the new 6 gen 4Runner I just had to get one. Best decision I've made to do that. Quiet to drive, more room, and great in the snow !

I also had a Nissan Xterra 2000 when I couldn't afford the 4Runner 25 years ago! I kept it until 2013 with over 200k miles.

I finally made it into a Runner! Love the look of the 6th Gen! Enjoy the ride!

The car I got rid of for the garage spot for the 4R was a Miata.

But the most recent I’ve owned that are competitive in some way with the 4R was a 2017 4R, a 2019 Wrangler, and a 2021 Bronco.

The other vehicle I still own that is the most similar to the 4R is a 2024 Sprinter AWD

Getting rid of my bone stock 2012 Wrangler Rubicon 6MT with 'only 107k miles. Had it since new. Did all the maintenance by the book and yet the following failed:

2 left cylinder heads.
Starter motor
Clutch throw out bearing
Thermostat
CV joints
Window regulators
Radio
Seat heaters
O2 sensor

I really loved it but now that the left cylinder head has failed again I no longer trust it. I also want a bigger vehicle to explore in as it is too tight a fit for me, my gf, two dogs and luggage!
And it does not have side air bags - I want a safer vehicle.

2017 Silverado LT Crewcab 4x4. Engine left the chat with lifter failure. Probably should have sued because of the “known” issues but was almost happy to have a reason to get the 4Runner.

‘19 Golf R… I kept it when I got the 4Runner.

I had a ‘21 Ford Ranger FX4. Kinda missing a couple of features that it had. The remote start and ford connect app worked so much better than the Toyota.

I had 2020 Subaru Outback, it was totaled by a deer on the highway. I still own a 2004 Ford Ranger, it’s a salvage vehicle…another deer on the highway. I must say that I’m loving my new 4runner.

Got the 4R in addition to my Model 3 and e36

I've always been a sedan guy lol. I had a 03 Nissan Maxima, it was my first car. 2nd car was an 07 Infiniti G35X, serve me well for years and then sold that car for '19 Subaru Crosstrek because my wife was pregnant at that time.

I still have both my 09 Legacy in Obsidian Black Pearl and 08 Legacy in Diamond Grey

For those of you who already have your 6th gen, just for fun, what were you driving before making the switch? Curious to see how many have history with 4runners like myself!

Feel free to comment some pics!

2010 FJ Cruiser TT (Miss it a little but don’t miss the reliable but thirsty and slow V6.)
2015 Cayenne GTS (still have it and love it)
2015 Tundra (love it, it’s a warhorse)
