I told him such before he bought the 4Runner, but he was dead-set on needing to have the reliability...Don't think he cross shopped much. He learned that reliability is only worthwhile if you enjoy driving it enough to keep it long-term.

No doubt.

A HL would have done what he needed without the ride penalty.

I think newer HL is the answer then.

It would be if the auto in the V6 wasn't a concern. So that only leaves the Hybrid versions which are hard to find, and priced like gold.

The new Outlander PHEV seems like an interesting proposition. I'm not sure on the long term reliability, but using less fuel is quite appealing.

With a ten year warranty, who cares?  Buy it new, drive for a decade, then sell.

So, does the air in Brampton have a faint whiff of cigar smoke and good whiskey?
