Agree. KEEP THE 80. You’ll regret getting rid of it one day...don't sell your 80 because nothing else is going to have any character.

A RAV4 with CDL, manual trans, and decent tires is surprisingly capable on 4x4 trails. If it had a two-speed transfer case, it would outperform a 4Runner or GX any day of the week.We have a 100, a v6 Highlander, a v8 4Runner and a 4 cyl rav4. I prefer them in that order for daily comfort. It’s not off-road capable in the way a 100 or a 4Runner is, but a Highlander is a very nice commuter that will handle light trail duty just fine.
My advice is still the same though - drive them. Different strokes, etc. Get what YOU like.
Actually the 1GR 4.0l V6 that is in them is a tried and true engine. I was actually quite impressed with how well our did towing a 5500lbs 16"(cabin) trailer without a dedicated brake controller through the mountains of Northern NV, Northern CA into lower Oregon and up the coast. It was not speed demon mind you, took a bit to get off the line but she never really "struggled" pulling that trailer with my ex and I and our stuff.I’d get a GX460 over any trim of 4Runner. They screwed up by putting a weak V6 in those 4Runners. Beside having a bigger aftermarket support and preferential tailgate, the 4Runner is worse in every category compared to the GX.
