well they were probably going too fast around a turn. Rolling will happen in all vehicles if you do that.

You're assuming that though, so you dont know. Im not too fond of them, though the new 2004 is sharp looking.

4Runners look cool (old and new) and are awsome off road. They are a little tippy so just drive it like a truck and they are safe enough

Re: 4runner

I love 4Runners, especially the first gen. They're very capable off road, it's just too bad they never made a solid front axle 4Runner like the first gen Toyota pickups.

My mom drives one...a '93 5-speed with blue velour seats about 4 feet of ground clearance...

It's so crappy that it's cool. The blue interior rocks my world. It's got a navy blue exterior and white racing stripes too.

We've taken it offroading and it performs very well...

It has 200k+ miles on it and still runs perfectly...

You just can't fuck up Toyotas, they don't die. The only thing we've done is recently replaced the clutch because I had nearly burnt it out, but that was completely my fault.

How fast was she going? And is she all right now?
Also, how did that happened?
Because it is not always the vehicle's problem, it might be the driver's problem...

Re: 4runner

well any sport-ute is far more prone to rolling that a car so if thats the main consern then a car is the best choice.
