4 Runner....I've had two of them. The first one left my wife stranded in an intersection because the computer wigged out and the transmission would not engage. It was a VERY busy intersection, with people honking, cursing, flipping her off, and even threatening her. I felt so good about Toyota at that moment as she called me crying and I could hear what was going on in the background. It also had a vibration in the wheels or suspension that Toyota could never find and cure. Finally, it began to rust out at about 120,000 miles and about 7 years old. The second one wasn't kept long enough to judge, and it served well while we had it. That's hardly the magical experience everybody seems to claim about Toyotas.
I'd be happy to take any bets as to whether my 08 JK will make it to 250,000 miles. Name the prize and I'll take you up on the bet. Barring an accident, I've no doubt it will get there, and then some. It has held up better after 10 years than my first 4 Runner did in 7. That's simply a fact. The 4 Runner was not driven off-road, at all, either. The JK has been run extensively off-road, and through far more road salt, too.
Btw, stating Jeep is the world's least reliable mark is quite profound. Care to back that up with a source? And don't give me Fiat. We're talking Jeep. I still doubt Fiat has been the worst, though.
