yeah the CVT’s and lack of articulation in the crossovers is a bummer, although some of the new brake assisted limited slip systems are pretty decent.
i’ve got a 2001 QX4 with only 95K miles that i plan on driving into the ground. don’t care about looks that much so any modern SUV with a solid axle is gonna be a huge upgrade for me once i’m in the market.
My 09 Tacoma has 320-330k which I also plan on running into the ground, I just might be a little closer to the ground than you. The new tacos don’t have a single cab (fine I’ll take an extended cab), only have a turbo 4 cylinder (if you must), and don’t offer a manual in the Cheap Bastard trim level (fuck yourself then). I also just checked the local dealership website and all the 2024s are 20-40% over MSRP (fuck it, I’ll walk).

yeah toyotas are disgustingly marked up. i wish nissan would make a decent off roading SUV again.
The Xterras did look like a lot of fun.
