looking in the early 2000s. anybody have experience with these? 4runner? rav4? starting to look for a smallish 4X4. I don't really want a pickup right now. they just don't have enough storage.

out of those listed, Id pick the 4 runner., its a real vehicle. Easily goes 300k miles The CRV and Rav4 four are both front wheel drive cars with an after thought rear differential thrown in. Down side the the 4runner is it doesn't get that good of mileage. Personally Id be looking at a Tahoe, same mileage or better than the 4 runner, cheaper to maintain. 4 runner is a solid vehicle though.

Honda CR-V is a great vehicle, but it's not a 4WD, after 2007 they stopped making the 4WD version completely and now they just make it a "all wheel drive". 2007 and before they had a 4WD version, but even then it was computer controlled, not something you could shift in and out of when you wanted to. It was a front wheel drive vehicle that when the comp sensed the front wheels spinning would automatically engage the rear wheels. My brother has one and he loves it. But if you are not needing the 4WD feature then by all means look at the CR-v.
After all the trouble my son had with his Xterra I'd NEVER buy a Nissan again. 4 cat converters, knock sensor buried under the intake manifold, 2 radios that failed, door hinges that wear out, etc etc etc... No thank you on the Pathfinder. Personally, if you are looking at that size vehicle I would look at the Jeep Liberty. My other son has a 2007 and loves it. 110K miles on it so far and zero trouble.

Heard good things about the Honda Element. Not very attractive or sporty, but lot of room and reliable. Not sure if available in 4wd.

Get a 4runner or go back in time and buy Spare's suburban.
