Just looking. I got in an accident (their fault) in my 2014 Jeep GC, and with it being borderline totaled it got me thinking that I wouldn't really be prepared to make another car choice if it came down to it.
My biggest thing is how it can handle the snow. The GC with its quadratec system has been great in the snow. Somebody I know had a Toyota Highlander and said it was pretty poor. So I started looking at 4Runners and test drove one this past weekend. Obviously this time of year I couldn't tell how the snow would be, but the 4WD system on the 4Runner seems much better than the highlander.
It drives like a truck... kind of slow, turning radius isn't great, and the gas mileage is pretty poor. But all that said I did like it, and I trust the reliability of this over the problems I've had in the Jeep (before the accident). They only had an SR5 Premium on the lot, and I would have liked to look at a Limited. It has more of the creature comforts that I got in my GC (like remote start and smart key) that was missing in the SR5 Premium.
So does anybody have a 2015 (or '14) 4Runner? How is it in the snow, and do you have anything to compare it to?
