I think it is finally time to put my beloved 2007 4Runner out to pasture, 160k on the odometer so still lots of life left in it but it is beat to shit. The last straw was getting side swiped in a parking garage recently and the lead time on parts to get it repaired are 3+ months out. I'm kinda over it.
I am trying to decide if I replace it with a newer 4R or get an Outback (or something else, for that matter). I use it primarily for my daily commute (16 miles r/t), hauling two little kids around, and driving to the ski hill or mtb trailheads neither of which are more than a few miles away. Throw in occasional road trips for both work and play. No towing or offroading.
Outback is appealing because it's got all the latest tech, seems to be very common/popular/well-liked, is reliable, and I could get a brand new tricked out Outback for what I would be paying for a used 4R that's a few years old with like 30k miles on it. WWMD?
