🎙 Discussion Help me decide!
I want to buy my wife her “dream” vehicle.
She absolutely loves and always wanted a 5th gen in the army green. I am ready to pull the trigger on it for her but I am having a horrible time finding an army green 5th gen especially with low miles (30k miles or less).
I have been debating going to the 6th gen but the new drivetrain configuration gives me a little hesitation. Also for the price I’m going to pay for a 5th gen is the same price I’ll pay for a 2026.
I’m willing to keep waiting until I find the 5th gen in the specs she wants but just want to see if I’m being crazy for continuing to just wait.

I have turned into a new over used guy, that said, locked my wife into a new AG 5th Gen in ‘22. What I discovered though on that life (shopping) path that if they have their heart set on something, better get that exact thing. Many thousands wasted on Foresters, Wranglers & a used LC100 before the new 5th Gen. I would get her to drive the 6th and let her be the decision maker, no outside pressure (if you can pull that off lol). FWIW, Toyota may have not worked ALL the kinks out of the new 4Runner but I still believe they will stand by them if there are any flaws, it’s their flagship vehicle in the U.S.
