The Jeep is getting a radiator, so my dad was kind enough to loan me his car.

I love this car way more than I thought I would.

Ask me anything.

Can I borrow it and compare it to my third gen for an OPPO review?

How sexy does the V8 sound 1-10?

Them fuckers sound amazing.

Aren’t you somewhere out west? I’m about 4 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

I’d give it a solid 7.

It’s very subdued most of the time.

I love these things, and I hope this doesn’t sound mean, but aren’t 4Runners, especially of this gen, usually driven by moms instead of dads? Just a weird observation I’ve noticed over the years.

Maybe? Idk I think the were just the de facto middle class mom SUV before the recession.

My moms had two 4Runners over the years. A first gen and a second gen.

Ah. Well it’s not mine to loan out, at any rate.

UIf you had the opportunity to drive the AGL-4 instead of the Toyota, would you?

Same question, but the Big Oly Bronco.

Is the seat as uncomfortable for you as it is for me?

God, I hate the seats in my 4Runner. After an hour of driving I can’t handle it, and the only time I take my truck out is to spend the whole day on the trails...

My mom has one, a 2003 with the V8 and all the options. Mine is a 2005 with the V8 and literally none of the options. I like mine better.

This doesn’t answer your question about it being a mom-car, or not, I just wanted to share.

Too boring in stock form. I need to get a performance exhaust, headers and all, but I’m not made of money and my stock exhaust is practically new.

That’s sad. The seats in my second gen are amazing.

I actually kind of like them. They’re not the best, but supportive enough. This has the cloth seats. Not sure what you have?

Yes. It got fat.

What kind of gas mileage are you getting. I rarely get over 14 mpg around town in mine.

I have a long back, so maybe my shape just doesn’t match the seats.

Cloth seats as well. I guess it’s just my shape.

Perhaps. I’m a short guy so I can be comfortable almost anywhere. I got in it this morning and noticed how firm, almost bolstered the seat felt. My Jeep seems like a Cadillac in comparison with its soft cushy unbolstered seats.
