It looks like the sweet used ones start at 40& up but if you are going to spend that much, why not spend a little more and find the 500hp amg version
..because the 500hp costs more in fuel, more in maintenance, more in initial purchase price, and when I want to drive fast I drive a Porsche sports car not a truck. The G500 was built as a rugged, off-road warrior. The AMG version doesn't really improve on what the car was designed for and instead adds bling.

Anyways, my vote goes for the 4runner if you can actually find one that hasn't been driven endlessly as they all seem to have been.

The Lexus And Toyota SUVs are great cars. 200k miles when we sold 3 Lexuses, no problem at all. Keep up maintenance, and those will go to 300k+ miles. Had an RX, GX, and LX. I'd go RX for size and gas mileage.

I bought my wife an RX and we love it. Has roughly the same HP as my old E36 M3 and has been super reliable. That helps since I have two Porsches and a BMW and am no stranger to the shop!

4runner. There is a good number of enthusiasts as well in case you want to play.

An old Jeep Cherokee, two or 4 door. Had a strait six that produced 200Hp. With a stick shift it was a joy to drive and easy and inexpensive to fix. It did have a high center of gravity so make sure you have good tires on it as like many SUVs of the period a blow-out could cause a roll-over.
