Considering buying new 4Runner SR5

Hi,

I know that I am going to get some pro-4runner biased messages back posting this, but that's OK. People seem to be religious about their brand choice of SUV's.

I am considering purchasing a new 99 4Runner SR5 4wd. What should I know about this car? Are there particular options that are must-have or should-avoid's? Is this a reliable car? I have never owned a Toytoa or a 4Runner, but I have been very pleased with the Japanese cars that I have owned and their performance and reliability.

Thanks!!

Scott
