Re: What do you drive???
The SR5 premium would be fine as well. Stick some black wheels on it
The interior plastic are really cheap and dated on these 4R. Very purposeful
I’m gonna drive a used GX and a new pathfinder too. Mazda and see how it goes.

If I were looking at the Limited, I’d pony up for the GX. It’s a wonderful vehicle.

I think it’d have to be a 2020-2021 GX. Old user interface looks like stuck in the 90’sezcheese wrote:Get a GX, it’s a step up in most areas. Especially if you’re not going to actually drive off road. The GX and 4Runner don’t share the same platform. The GX is on the same platform as the Land Cruiser Prado, which is sold in various world markets outside the US.Jeep99dad wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 3:03 pmA bit too $.

So long Defender, and hello GV70
Re: What do you drive???
I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback on the genesis models lately. Nice one!
Well, I posted a defender a few months ago and my vehicle situation is constantly changing. Still own the defender that’s for sale, but bought a new S580 Mercedes. Two months later my wife got in a wreck (not her fault) and they totaled the car. The ordeal cost me 35k. Such bullshit.
Silver lining is that I wanted the E63s last year but they didn’t make it. They do for this year and it’s the last year for this bi-turbo V8 so I was happy to scoop up the one I wanted recently. Still in the honeymoon phase. Love it.

Got the Bronco WildTrak Sasquach back in March as my second vehicle. Sits in the garage and driven infrequently but fun to drive.

Re: What do you drive???
Very nice. I had a day 1 reservation for the Bronco, I was getting the Black Diamond 2 door in Area 51, but there were so many delays I ended up getting something else and canceling the reservation. Now I regret it every time I see one.mellonb1 wrote:Got the Bronco WildTrak Sasquach back in March as my second vehicle. Sits in the garage and driven infrequently but fun to drive.

Re: What do you drive???
That's gorgeous. How could you have lost $35k on the totalled S? Especially if your wife wasn't at fault, you should have been made whole.koda240 wrote:I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback on the genesis models lately. Nice one!

Ya I know it seems insane and that’s because it is. Even my attorney said there’s nothing I could do. Doesn’t help that it was a 20 yr old chick who hit her in a scion. The other issue is that out of all times to see an influx of S580 models it was now. There were so many after catch up from Covid hitting thr market that the pricing to replace it was less than I wanted. Then, they screwed me out of ceramic tint, clear bra, wheels, pre paid maintenance, etc. shit show.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. But the E is a great silver lining, and that's the best Mercedes color there is IMO.koda240 wrote:Thank you!jswing wrote:That's gorgeous.

Lovely car! All German cars should be some shade of silver, as God intended.
Hopefully the Mrs. is ok.

That’s about the only hybrid/electric I’d even consider; Toyota reliability, quick, efficient, and you can take an actual road trip in it.
Re: What do you drive???
thanks! yeah, it was by far the best choice out there, i think. the longest electric only range of all the PHEV SUVs (42m), the most power by far, every review put it at the top of the list. and it drives really well. and the sound system's not bad for a stock system, either. not that i could replace it easily like i've done in every other car i've owned.
it's going to take some getting used to. we had two 2007 vehicles, so this was our first new car in 16 years. my wife's volvo was loaded, but "2007" loaded. so much more technology in cars today.
