Just wait until we take off in the new rig. It's pretty awesome, although I've burned a tank of gas in 4 days.

Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner. Even with 100k+ miles you'll still get plenty of life from it.
I'm leaning towards a 4runner as I'm able to find them online used for around my budget. Plus I love the skid plates coming with it. That said I can find more Xterra options right now.

After kids I got a second gen Taco 4 door. It worked OK. I had the offroad manual model, so the bed was short. I only fit diagonally in it. So most gear needed to be pulled out to sleep/camp. Reverse was tall, and it did a bit worse on mileage overall. But it hauled more passengers comfortably and was great for partner hunts with a base camp tent. I have also used enough full size rigs to know I prefer a more compact vehicle for the majority of my needs. Some FS roads get tight when getting to trail heads, and in general mileage or overall cost doesn't pencil out for me. I do dig the room, capability to tow etc... and if willing to pony up the shino for diesel it can be comparable or even better mileage. So if thats a factor for you its something to consider. I recently purchased a 3rd gen four runner because of the manual trans option, to double as hunting rig and family truckster, and used it on a week long trip in Idaho camping in it for 2 separate nights with dog. It worked very well. I am hopeful that it will be the answer for now.
Another option to consider is a roof top tent, on any rig you decide on. I have been looking into them pretty seriously since it would eliminate the need to shuffle stuff if bedding down for just a night. And also sleep more people.

Update: I ended up with a 2005 4runner V8 with only 71k miles on it. was lucky to find it in my budget. Took it out with Pianoman and it's a complete monster in the woods and for doing 5 hours of driving I only used a 1/4 of a tank. it's perfect
Nice find! I bought the wife a Highlander a few years ago and have never had any issues. Toyota’s are pretty bulletproof. We take ours on some of the roughest roads multiple weeks outta the year and have always been impressed.

Nice find! I too am in the market for a 4Runner. I’d like it to be limited and have the 3rd row seating. I’ve found a few but nothing that gets me excited.

They're out there but you have to act fast! This 4runner was online for 4 days total and 2 of them they're weren't any photos. I went in fri at 6pm wanted it but wanted to have the wife test drive it first before the paperwork(they were only open for 2 more hours so I thought it would be fine). Was scheduled to drive it around 10am saturday but our sales guy text me 10 mins after they opened at 8:30 and said they were people already calling about it and were going to stop in and buy it. We rushed over, and were literarily 5 mins before the next person that was coming in to buy it. Best of luck to ya,hope you find a nice rig!

Why not Jeep Cherokees? you can normally find those pretty reasonable.
Good option for sure. For me if I could I wanted a 4runner just because they keep their value a bit better and this 4runner had some options I really liked. Before this 4runner I was driving a 2015 Jeep Renegade and was impressed by how capable it was.
