Am I an idiot? I could convince my wife we don't need three rows and just steer her towards a 4Runner

Nah, I just looked at the specs. Very solid car. I have a 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L (with the navigation package + 4WD) and it's still going strong.

Maintenance wise, it's been an absolute dream. Recently, I had a huge electrical issue with it where fuses kept popping everywhere, but after following the circuit diagrams in the service manual (they are a fucking bitch to find), I was able to isolate it to an aftermarket U-Haul tow hitch I had installed. One of the terminals in the trailer socket became badly corroded to the point that it developed a low-impedance leakage path on the left turn circuit. Scrubbing the terminal with a wire brush and some 30% vinegar, then spraying it with water and letting it dry fixed the problem.

Otherwise, nothing major. I have 170k miles on it and haven't had to do anything besides routine maintenance (tires, brakes, fluids, batteries, and the alternator--once).

I don't think you're an idiot. The Pilot is a cr vehicle. I personally like the Honda driving experience better than Toyota. The 4Runner is stuck with that buzzy 4 cylinder they are putting in everything including Lexus.

Exactly. The SUV category is absurd because you have everything from a 4-cylinder Trailblazer up to an 8-cylinder Escalade. Realistically, we have compact, full-size, and extended SUVs.

I’m about to get a Nissan Armada becaus the Toyota and Lexus offerings are inferior and because of Ukraine I will die first before ever buying an American car.

I wanted to buy an F-150 Raptor, but literally every dealer is offering $10k above MSRP on top of another $10k in bullshit add-ons. All in, you're almost at Raptor R prices.

Now, it'll probably be an F-250 Platinum if I can find one under $70k

The price/value of all cars is insane. My car is worth significantly less than I make in an average month and I refuse to buy a new one. I might be literally becoming my grandpa but I don't care.
