Since I'm driving a 2004 Toyota 4Runner, another 4Runner, but...
a) Should be at least 4 or 5 years out, I'm only at 175k. It did get hailstorm-hammered last summer. Could be worse, I'm not sure if the tent I was camping in that night, 8 miles away, would have been protected me from those golf-ball-sized hailstones. At least now I'm no longer worried about parking on the street in front of my house (near a golf course, I get plenty of free golf balls). After pricing out hail damage repair costs, I've learned to appreciate the character of the dimpled look.
b) Looks like it will be a while before the next Toyota 4Runner model is released, new 2022's aren't much changed since 2009, and not much improved from 2004, other than one more AT gear, infotainment screen and bug-eyed headlights. My previous 4Runner was a 1999, and there are huge upgrades from '99 to '04 (better mileage, range, power, space, comfort, nicer cup-holders) compared from '04 to '22+ But no more 5-speed manual.... (I upgraded in 2016)
There does appear to be a bit of a revolution just over the horizon with regard to electric/battery/hybrid technology, I'm a bit concerned about how rapidly charging station capacity falls behind demand once electric sales take off, not to mention electric range issues where even Interstate-70 just to the west in Utah has more than 100 miles between fuel/charging opportunities.
But if I "had" to replace right now, it'd be a '15 to '21 4Runner even though current used values are insane. (more $ than new, even!) Will I be tempted to spend $50k plus on a Rivian, Lucid, Tesla, or other snazzy electric in 4 or 5 years? Only a slim chance... I think.... If the next 4R front end is as hideous as the new Tundra or most new Lexii, I'll be much more tempted. Not sure if all new Tundra grills have the "cheese grater" option. Goal: A good-looking plug-in hybrid with 100+ miles of solid-state battery range 2026 "4Runner Prime". 2nd goal: Select from the large inventory on the dealer lot.
I've noticed there are several folks on this thread that aren't much dissuaded by frequent trade-ins, repair costs or other expenses in order to enjoy driving something new, fast, fun and/or fancy. I'm not really super frugal, but I am on the spectrum.... Oh yeah, I'm still afraid of turbos (such as Ford Bronco), not interested in gaining fuel savings $ at the risk of $$$$ for turbo repair.
