Not enough info. 2wd or 4wd? Do you intend street only or any
off-roading? Did you want to stay the stock tire size? Did you have a
budget in mind? Did you wear them out in only a year or just want a
different tire? What did you like or not like about the stock tires
and what do you expect a new tire to do differently?

For most folks, 2WD is perfectly adequate for 90% of your driving
conditions … In addition, the simpler design improves vehicle
reliability and maintainability.

As for style, the ’03s were clearly designed to appeal to soccer moms
… The 02s are much more muscular and truck-like.

Yeah, but wants a 2WD 4Runner?  It’s bordering on blasphemous.  May as well
just get a Highlander.

I agree.  I don’t like leather seats because I can never get comfortable in
them.  I prefer cloth seats of SR5 and Sport Editions because of that and I
don’t like sliding around when I’m turning or cornering.

Good idea.  There will be plenty of ’03 4Runners to choose from, and hence be
greater breathing room on price.

Yeah, but it’s very ugly.  Especially those CRV-wannabe taillights.  And plus
Volvo is built by Ford, and the fact that Volvo quality went down since Ford
acquired them (look at the original S80s problems, and you’ll see what I mean),
are enough reasons to avoid it, IMHO.

I’ll pass.

Yeah, but who wants a 2WD 4Runner?  A 2WD 4Runner is bordering on being
blasphemous!  You may as well just get a Highlander.
And worse yet, the ’02s are "out of style" in most consumer’s eyes (and mine,
even though I still think they look nice) because of the ’03s arrival.

>Even better is to ignore the LIMITED entirely … The better value is
>the SR5 – especially the SPORT EDITION

I agree, the Sport Edition is the one I would get.  I am not particularly fond
of leather seats.  I cannot just get comfortable in them.  I prefer cloth or
velour seats for the fact that I can be comfortable in them, as well as not go
sliding around while turning.

>Only an idiot would walk into a dealership and pay sticker (or more)
>for a ’03 4Runner that’s scarce …

True.

That’s a good idea.
