What can I say? I haul/pull heavy things.

do you park length ways occupying 6 parking spots nearest the door, or in the fire lane? my fave is seeing neighbors younger than I park in fire lane, or in grocery pickup. As I carry a 6 yo, and have 9 yo in tow. Hell saw a pregnant lady with 6 kids, solo hace to park at ass end of Kroger bc all spots were full, lol.

She loves it. Sits up and looks more like SUVs she's had in the past but drives more like a car. Ton of room...almost full size truck width on the interior. A ton of legroom in the back. Comfortable and great features. It suited her more than the Acura and Lexus SUVs she drove...which I didn't mind since it cost less...lol. Thankfully she thought the regular Trailsport was more comfortable than the Trailsport Elite.

Pretty much the same reasons I like it. I also test drove a 4runner at that time. The feel of the Trailsport won me over.

My wife got a new 4runner a year later lol.

I just traded in a 21 Nissan Titan Pro-4x that I loved. Traded it on a 2026 Honda Passport for my wife. She drove an Acura, a Lexus, and the Passport and loved the Passport. Finally found a dealer that would give me the deal I wanted and got it done this evening. I have a 25 Toyota Tundra that will become my primary vehicle now. There's a lot of good full size trucks and SUVs out there. I personally would avoid more recent GM and Rams. Loved my Titan, but they quit making them and I didn't need two trucks anymore. Tundras have an engine recall on the non-hybrids from 22 to early 24. Hard to find anything bulletproof these days but some manufacturers are much better at standing behind their products than others. If you go with Toyota, look up Jim Rouleau on Facebook. He's an auto broker that runs a page on Facebook and has the best deals...completely legit...just tell him what you want and he'll find it at a crazy good price.

Picture of the wife's new Passport just because...

The Toyota V6 that's been around forever and is in many of their vehicles is as close to bulletproof as they come. Not the Tundra one, the 4Runner and V6 Camry I think (not sure but it's the legacy Toyota V6).

You're right though, it's harder and harder to find a reliable vehicle. My Chevy equinox had the turbocharger fail at 40k miles. Luckily it was a fleet vehicle with an extended warranty, but still crazy that a modern car has a failure that early.

Yea the LX starts around $107,000 I think base before taxes, fees, etc easily over $115,000. But they are nice. BUt good thing with Lexus is basically it's Toyota so you know it will last a good 10-15 years if you keep it that long.

Check out the new Toyota Land Cruiser too. I saw one today and they are really beautiful too. Looks kind very similar to the Lexus LX.

Yep! I’ve looked at a couple. They do look good.

think its a 3.5, newer iteration of the 3.4. the v6 equivalent of the 22RE.

in college had a 1990 4 runner (tire on back) thing was immaculate. issue is it had a 3.0L V6. Engine had 200 HP. That engine was, not good. Before I sold it, bc I had too. Toyota wanted $6000 for a brand new 3.0, and $8K for a brand new 3.4L which. would be worth it in today's decision, to have a classic vehicle.
