Lol! I'm just grateful she lets me have the final say.

Maybe a Taco.. or a 4runner would be a better fit? Even then, the interior is not going to be up to the VW.
I have my 4runner coming in at the end of the month, so I love this shit. But I also would have kept my defender if it wasn't giving my wife panic attacks while she drove it.

Spoiler!
And that is exactly where we are at. We need a truck for horse stuff, better for camping, and a bit of towing, and while my 4Runner and her Atlas can tow, it's not ideal. In a normal relationship I would be the one to have the truck and she keep her Atlas and we trade off when needed. But, I don't want a truck, or an Atlas; I want her to have a truck. Lol! She feels that if she is taking a hit in comfort, at least she's got her V8 truck, so it's justified. With the 4Runner, it has less cargo space, less passenger room, feels like a top-heavy boat with no power, tows the same as the Atlas, and only seats five; and still drives like a truck. I am constantly reminded how my vehicle choice is destroying our family. I'm also trying to put a second car in the garage so all around this isn't a good look for me. Lol! Anyone want a 4Runner?
In the half ton truck class, the Tundra is arguably the least comfortable and has the worst fuel mileage. But......Toyota, right? Anything Sierra/Ram/F150 is going to be the $80k+ range to get what we want and I'm not sure we want to spend that much. At that point might as well just spend $90k plus a bit and get a 3500 diesel.
