Like you are now a car expert?? Oh, the narcissism! Funny, you're too
stupid to know how stupid you're acting!

The Toyota landcruiser a friend bought in 1970 came with a starting
crank. That is reliable. Starts unaided with a dead battery. A feature
that should be common.

We have a 2004 4Runner with the V8. More than 110,000 miles. Most
reliable car we have ever owned. No expenditures but for routine
service, expendables, a set of tires, brake pads, and a battery. Nothing
has broken or fallen off. Starts every time, no matter the weather.
That's a major reason why I'm looking at a Lexus and the top of the line
Toyota sedan. I think the Japanese some time ago passed the Germans as
builders of the top-quality cars.

That sedan should serve as a fine tow vehicle.
