Opinions wanted

Which would you choose
2013 4runner 35k miles
2009 200 series TLC 97k miles
Both are priced at 33k
Both in great shape and good records.
The new ride will be used for DD (95%) and hunting lease which requires 4x4 often and an occasional trip to Colorado to hunt elk.
Thanks for your opinions.

LC. No contest.

I have both: The 4runner (2010 Limited) handles better on fast, twisty pavement and gets better mileage. The LC200 (2008) is better in every other way.

Thanks
I suspect most would say land cruiser. Heck I have owned 4 and currently own a 100. Every one of them has been solid. Just want to be sure I spend my money as wisely as possible. I was thinking maybe the 4runner has closed the gap. I have never owned a 4runner.

I have both. '14 trail premium and absolutely love it. Just as capable and reliable as 200. Again hard pill to swallow buying a high mileage 200 vs basically brand new 4Runner. All I can say is you can't go wrong either way.

Thanks. I knew a few of yall would have had both and could provide insight into the 4runner.

I have a built '07 4R and a stock '14 200, I was afraid when I bought the 200 I'd stop loving the 4R, but I haven't. I'm equally as passionate of both. Find a way to purchase both, that's still less expensive than a new 200.

Also if leaning toward 4Runner just buy new. They hold their value so well especially in CO. For a '13 with 35k miles for $33k I'd pay $2k more for new. Is it a limited or trail? You can negotiate a trail down to 37k and a sr5 for 34k.

Maybe keep looking for a Cruiser with lower miles.
Bought mine last year for $39k and it had 48k miles. 2008, but mileage more important.

I ran into this same situation back in September. I was looking at a 2013 4Runner Trail w/ 40k miles and a 2009 LC w/ 97k miles. Long story short, I went with the LC and haven't regretted my purchase for a second.
