Like title states, my wife is in the market to sell her jeep, and she wants a 4runner, i trolled some forums and only saw a few drawbacks. So any first handers out here?

Any general complaints really, we are looking at a sr5 with 3rd row seating, she is trading a jeep wrangler in on it, so I assume it will be a better ride in general. Mainly looking for craftsmanship flaws, dealer trips for unexpected service etc..

thanks for the reply Revird

Of course,

Im 16000 miles in. No issues at all besides a squirrel that chewed my wiring harness...that was a mess but by no means a manufacturer default.

I love the car, the ride is great and rather comfortable for a truck yet it still gives me confidence in 4WD situations either off road or in snow storms (colorado). My experience is coming from my last vehicle, a 1997 4Runner with 130k, and another 97 4Runner with 180k before that. So, granted 4Runners are all I've driven for awhile but there is a positive reason behind that.

If she likes driving an SUV style vehicle like the jeep or a 4Runner I think she will like one. Your best bet, as you know, is to take a test drive and just get in one, look around in it, and see how you both like to drive and ride it.
