    Hey, I’m an 80’s kid.

    Not gonna lie, the Lambo is pretty much full of awesomeness.

    Thanks man, after further debate, we decided to keep the Tundra and pay off the Lexus.

    Thanks for all the responses guys. We’ll add a 4Runner when the Lexus is paid off.
    She currently drives an Infiniti G37 which would be traded into the 4Runner Limited.

    Question: Is 2020 the year of the next gen 4Runner?

    Probably some good ideas about debt repayment then a whole lot of nonsense about never having a credit card, how all debt is bad no matter what and how it's easy to make 12% returns on investments. :poking:

    But yeah...$70K for an SUV that's overall less capable than the Tundra doesn't make sense to me. Especially when the Tundra is paid for. :crazy:

    Would you get a similar ride with the Tundra if you put a better suspension in? Like the OME suspension? or other.
    I have a 1997 Land Cruiser (collector edition) with 3 factory lockers and LOVE it but it has over a quarter million miles on it and with the straight 6 it tows for CRAP! It will go ANYWHERE though!! Depends on what you want to do with your rig. If your Tundra is 4WD I'd just keep that...

    I have actually did some pretty hard core wheeling with a G Wagon. Some 80 year old man was up in Moab and asked to join us. I don’t discriminate, so his Merc did damn well, impressive to say the least.

    The LC is more luxurious for sure. What did you think about turning radius? The LC is easy to maneuver in every day driving. If money was no object, I would jump to an LX570 and skip the LC.

    16+ has a 8 speed, I'd guess that will go into the next tundra
