[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 3205751, member: 4606"] My wife has a 2018 4 Runner and just loves the thing. We also own a FJ Cruiser, which is the same platform/drivetrain. It's an '08, has about 175k on the odometer and runs like new. I fully expect to get 300k out of both of them without any major trouble. I can't compare it directly to a new Tahoe, but the 4 Runner definitely rides better than my Wrangler, gets about the same mpg (high teens) and is a lot quieter. However, I think the Tahoe will be more luxurious. A buddy of mine has an older GMC version of the Tahoe (maybe the extended wheelbase version) and it is NICE. Big, comfy leather seats, lots of room, smooooth ride. I expect he gets about 13mpg. It is rather enormous, like break a bottle of champagne over the bumper at launch enormous, but that's really only a problem when he parks it. The 4 Runner has an available 3rd row seat, but it is TINY. So tiny, it's only useful for small children, leprechauns, and people you hate. It sticks up from the cargo floor, so you lose space even if it's folded down. Our kids are all adult or as tall as me, so we skipped it entirely. You [I]can[/I] fit 3 across the regular back seat, but it would be tight. The 4 Runner isn't nearly as wide as a Tahoe. [/QUOTE]
