This SUV couldn't be any more amazing than it already is. There are mechanical weaknesses that are unavoidable. For example, my antenna is shot but that's not a deal breaker. Toyota has ensured that the most important parts are superior in workmanship. I have over 200k miles on my vehicle and the transmission hasn't given me any troubles. It has only over heated once to imply it needed a new water pump. Oil is always clean when it's changed and if it weren't for routine maintenance I could easily get 10k between oil changes. I'm a bit of an over thinker so I pack all sorts of stuff in the event that I get stuck somewhere, and I still have room for an additional 4 people. These trucks are easy to maintain and hold their value. You can't lose with a Toyota 4runner.
