The new CRV and Rav4 got too big. The little crossovers look fun but they only come with a CVT and I don’t trust them yet. Ever since they, in my opinion, fumbled the new Tacoma I’m convinced they won’t make anything I like again.
yeah the CVT’s and lack of articulation in the crossovers is a bummer, although some of the new brake assisted limited slip systems are pretty decent.
i’ve got a 2001 QX4 with only 95K miles that i plan on driving into the ground. don’t care about looks that much so any modern SUV with a solid axle is gonna be a huge upgrade for me once i’m in the market.
My 09 Tacoma has 320-330k which I also plan on running into the ground, I just might be a little closer to the ground than you. The new tacos don’t have a single cab (fine I’ll take an extended cab), only have a turbo 4 cylinder (if you must), and don’t offer a manual in the Cheap Bastard trim level (fuck yourself then). I also just checked the local dealership website and all the 2024s are 20-40% over MSRP (fuck it, I’ll walk).
Yeah I’ve always wanted one as a kid but it’d be strictly for off roading if I got one now. The comfort and features are way too outdated for 2020’s. The QX4 is a nice cross of luxury and off road capability.
hahah don’t look at the new land cruiser then. the FJ was the ultimate lego car. they love legos! any SUV’s you like?

yeah toyotas are disgustingly marked up. i wish nissan would make a decent off roading SUV again.
The Xterras did look like a lot of fun.
