Hey gang, new to the Mud Forum. I've been doing a lot of reading about these machines, not sure if I've read too much and scared myself away but seriously re-considering my options. Was thinking of a 4th Gen 4Runner, but feel like it may be too small for my family of 4 + 70lb lab.
So back to the LC or LX 470?
It will be my daily driver in and out of San Francisco, 70mile roundtrip.
Pros 4Runner: Fuel economy, more City-friendly, nimble, can still hold gear.
Cons 4Runner: Feels "small," car seats are a tough fit
Pros LC/LX: Comfort, room, can hold more stuff and gear
Cons LC/LX: Fuel Economy, expensive tune-ups and parts repair (I'm no mechanic)
So everyone has different needs, those are mine. I know its a very broad question...
