Barry, I think Mision Santa Maria this February would be an awesome trip for you and that Nissan!
You could continue on to other places after, since you are coming from so far away!
Baja is calling!

I Shouldn't Have Asked !!!
43 replies so far and other than a few well-wishing friends, only one reply addressed my actual questions.
Thanks TW !!
And I hope the rest of you had fun.

Diver,
Just stay away from the earlier engine. I can speak from personal experience on that issue!
I shopped for one a few years ago and test drove the V8 model. Very impressive and at that time was only 1 mpg less than the V6. Can't say if that
translates to the real world driving though. Very good choice of Baja Rigs.

PS I bought the Xterra in 2005 and have 60,000 trouble free miles. It suited our needs better than the Toy.

Unfortunately, Mrs Diver rolled our Explorer after hitting a patch of ice a few weeks ago. She is fine and the Explorer kept her safe but is totalled
so we need to find a replacement.
In addition to another Explorer, we are considering a 4Runner and I was hoping to get some feedback from some of you Toyota guys.
Best years ? Best motor ? Other considerations ?
Say 2000 or newer ?

yes, 4runner is good, reliable vehicle. get a 2003 or newer. mine is v-6 and has plenty of get up and go. if you are over 6'2" tall, don't get
sunroof, but you may find it hard to find a unit without sunrooof.

Depends on how much money you want to spend. I would go with a 2006 or newer. I have a 1998 v6 4runner limited and have had zero problems...bought it
used in 2000. Currently has 130k miles on it.
Also own a 2006 (purchased in 2008) v8 4runner limited 4x4 and love it with no problems. I did research and v8 only has about 1-2 less mpg than a v6.
FYI just read the 2010 4runner will not come in a v8 model but the v6 will have more horsepower.
