whoa,its been a long time since the last post. But ill give my opinion anyway. The 4runner is probably one of the few standing TRUE to life off roaders. A 4runner could take almost anything. I mean i wouldnt go offroading in a tornado or try to jump a 30 foot cliff into 10 ft deep water. But you can try and tell me how it was,and dont forget to get pictures. But as Ace said If you dont like the truck like ride than buy a puss car based SUV. I mean personally if i were older and had a fam. I would def. buy a Highlander or a Rav4. But i mean SO many people are used to a SUV riding like a car and being able to handle like a car. But in actuality a 4Runner is meant for "good'' on road performance and with SOME mods not alot can become an awesome off road performer. But stock 4runners could also whip a shitty jeep any day.
PLUS, your Runner got tboned by another car. That right there could do somethign to the frame and suspension. Damage to Frame + Damage to suspension = Notta good ride.
