BEV = Backcountry Exploration Vehicle.... it ain't no SUV.
A little about my decision for purchasing my 4Runner a few years back: I choose a 1st gen 4Runner because of it's "useability". It comfortably sits 4 and I can haul my stuff to and from school. I wanted a 5-speed because I've had 2 different auto transmissions die on me. I wanted 4-wheel drive to wheel trails, go camping, and feel safer in the snow.
Right now it stands with...
