I've driven my 4Runner for about 8 years and 70,000 miles, and in all that time I've never had to take it to the shop for repairs. No engine trouble, no breakdowns, and very little maintenance required. I've always felt safe and confident that my 4Runner would get me where I needed to go.
Story
I fit every single one of my belongings in the back of this car and drove it across the country. I was moving from the East Coast to the West Coast, and both myself and my belongings made it quickly and safely there. And no flat tires!
Pros
Like I mentioned above, the durability of my 4Runner is one of its top qualities. It also drives very smooth and is versatile- it can be driven through city streets or across rough terrain.
Cons
My only con would be that its sound system is a little limited compared to newer cars - there is no Bluetooth capability, so I have to use an AUX cable to play my own music while I drive.

It does have a fairly large trunk but nothing that would carry items/supplies that would be needed if you are looking for a construction vehicle. Car is great for daily driving though and is very comfortable to sit it. It has a l... (more)
Story
One time I took this car off reading mudding and had a lot of fun in it. Although I couldn't push it as hard as my friends pushed their truck, it was still a lot of fun to go mudding in.
Pros
Comfortable Lots of space Reliable Quality made Combination of daily driver and lots of room in trunk as a work vehicle fair price
Cons
Not ideal for all work/construction type Not the best on gas Not as firm to ground can feel like you might flip the car while driving if you turn too hard
