I owned a first gen for awhile and I loved it. But I still own the 80 and the 4R is gone... there's a reason. Stick with the 80I have been pondering this myself. It's been 10 years, have opinions changed?
Any former 1st gen 4Runner owners wish they still had them over an 80? I've never owned a 1st gen myself, but have always wanted one.
Honestly, your answer is here. Look at how sparse the 4R is compared to that loaded 80. If weekend warrior stuff is your jam, go with the 4R. But if you go on serious expeditions, you go with the 80.
So true. The fatigue that comes with wheeling a 4runner is completely resolved in the 80. It's a complete juxtaposition, not even close.I still have both. The 4Runner is just for wheeling and I trailer it. I could put it back on the road but it would take a lot of work. The 4Runner is fun to wheel, especially here on the east coast where most of the trails are tighter. However, it does beat the everloving piss out of you on the trail and is pretty cramped inside. First time I took the 80 wheeling I was texting and drinking coffee and goofing off where in the 4Runner I'm just getting beat the whole time.
I plan to keep them both as long as possible. If I had to get rid of one I would keep the 80 just because it is more versatile.
a vehicle to sit 7 people and take them anywhere in a traditional seating posture.
