2011 Toyota 4Runner Trail 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
So far so good!
To date this is by far the best SUV I've owned. Toyota paid close attention to all the details and my 4Runner Trail Edition hasn't disappointed me yet.
So Glad to be back in a 4runner!

2011 Toyota 4Runner Trail 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I previously had a 2005 4runner I had for almost 5 yrs (that I LOVED) and my brother talked me in to selling it to him. With a heavy heart I did so. I thought I'd try something new, so I bought a GMC Acadia, though roomy, it wasn't me and I sold it in 8 mos. Thought I'd try something different, so I looked at the Infinity EX35 and bought that. What was I thinking? Had it about a year … until I could order a Trail to my exact specs. Yep, no test drive, nothing. I was excited to get back into
a 4runner (which would feel like home). Well I've had Big Red (2010 Trail) for over a year now, and indeed, it does feel like home. 21K miles and I LOVE my
truck!
huge improvement

I refused to buy the previous generation 4Runner because it was too small and wimpy looking.
My 2011 trail edition has been problem-free and has gone through several rough jeep trails without breathing hard.
The size is perfect for us.
The increased horsepower of the V6 is enough for long grades.
I would and will get this again when the lease expires.
Shocks...Please Ignore Earlier Comment

In an earlier post, a consumer commented on the weakness of the Toyota OEM shocks.
The comment is inaccurate.
The poster describes a condition which is clearly the result of driving style, not the performance of a 5,000lb truck.
If you drive a truck the same as you may drive a BMW, the results will be dramatic and perhaps traumatic.
Changing to Bilstein shocks will not help this problem. … The shocks are fine.
It ain't the car.
And no, I do not work with or for Toyota in any way.
i have been in the automotive biz my entire life and involved with motorsports for 30+ year, but never with Toyota.
