2005 Toyota 4Runner SUV SR5 4WD 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Excellent
 Excellent choice - 4WD systems are excellent for snow and off-road.  Comfort and driving dynamics continue to impress.  Even after just short of 1yr ownership it still amazes me how competent and sure footed it drives. I've owned Jeep and Ford previously - there is no comparison.  I ride in friends 05 Explorer and 05 G. Cherokee and now wonder what they were thinking...the 4 Runner is that great.  As long as you are comfortable with the "odd" seating position and not getting cash on the hood like a domestic - you can't make a better choice for a mid-size SUV.
