It must be a great vehicle because somebody tried to steal mine when it was a month old. Horn started blowing and scared them away.
The fog light bulbs lasted about a year. Replaced each about a week apart. The windshield wiper blades seemed to fall apart, also about a year old. Replaced them with replacement blades. I would also HIGHLY reccomend Rain-X. It makes a huge difference and it lasts. The front tires seem to show a little excessive wear, but I don't know why.
OK, now for the positives. The "D" drives great. It's smooth and comfortable. It has more room in the driver's seat (compared to smaller SUV's) and holds all your friends at one time (unless you're really popular :) ). Enough power to do pretty much whatever you want (including spinning wheels, try that in a 4Runner). The best thing of all is it looks better than all the competition.
Good Luck!
