We have the SR5 with the 3rd row seat. We traded in a minivan but still needed enough seating for a family of six. Also, the four wheel drive allows for use during winter conditions. There have never been issues of getting stuck or losing traction even when driving in icy roads. The SUV also has excellent towing capacity. The look is masculine and no issues feeling embarrassed when driving. The price is very reasonable for a new SUV.
