Has anyone else gone from 4Runner to Cayenne?

Not directly but I had a 2001 4runner lifted on 35s, snorkel, front and rear ARB air lockers and a 4.7:1 t-case that was built up to the nines.
My in between as a 4.8 X5 that transitioned me well into the Cay GTS. I will say that it is a hell of a lot more fun than the 4runner but the 4runner did things I will never let this Cayenne do.

To add a crazy plot twist to this story...the same friend that allowed me to test drive his own meticulously cared for Cayenne S just surprised me yesterday to know he's putting it up for sale. It has around 65k original miles and has all the major and preventative services done, and he's planning to ask $10k. I could practically push it from his driveway to mine too. Geez!

I used to have a Toyota,it lasted me around 250,000 miles and then it became problematic. I'm now nearing 300,000 miles with My 2005 Cayenne S and it's still going strong. Cost wise on maintenance is about the same with a good indie and using only OEM parts. The Toyota wins on insurance cost and gas mileage, but the Cayenne wins by a mile on the grin factor.

That's AWESOME - almost Twin boats. What lake is yours in? Ours is an 06 LSV IN Lake Keowee in SC. What year - LSV or VLX?

Have the 2014 dash in it though.
Used to take it to lake havasu for spring break, and even with the million dollar boats that need tilt trailers around, it was always getting compliments, it's just a sharp looking boat and colour combo.
