Portland Toyota Dealer: The Unmatched Pride of 4WD Toyota Owners
Most car brands have devoted followers. The people who love Ferraris and classic cars seem almost obsessed with them: reading books, attending auto shows, and, if they can afford to, tinkering with their own models at home. Classic cars are more like works of art than automobiles, so it’s rare for a common brand to produce similar passion. Toyota is the exception. Prius owners feel a special bond with their vehicles and FJ cruiser owners love passing each other on the road, but 4WD Toyota drivers are perhaps the most passionate. Publishing a magazine and congregating at rugged destinations all over America, these men and women have a matchless pride in their 4WD Toyotas.
In 2005, 4WD Toyota Owner launched as the only all-Toyota magazine for sale in the U.S. Its stories and spreads are devoted to one thing: rugged 4WD Toyotas and the people who drive them. The magazine caters to people who love the outdoors and the Toyota brand and the fact that it’s been in circulation for seven years proves its appeal to a Toyota enthusiasts everywhere.
Asking whether Toyota enthusiasts loved the outdoors or Toyota first is almost like posing the chicken and egg question. For years, Toyota has been synonymous with dependability—which is essential for any off-road excursion. Devoted 4WD Toyota owners love their Tacomas and 4Runners so much that they can’t imagine undertaking a trek without them.
It’s a nation-wide trend, but the magazine is based in the Pacific Northwest, which makes sense to any Oregon native. Our state contains expansive wilderness, and remains a territory suitable for adventure. Toyota 4WD owners can love their vehicles anywhere, but Oregon’s Toyota fans have the benefit of rugged outdoors all around them.

The Decade’s Worst 4x4s
Four Wheeler Magazine came up with a hardy list of 4×4 wannabes that we thought was pretty dead on. We disagree with the inclusion of the FJ, but as the comments indicate, so do many of the readers. Here’s a quick summary of the winners (by winners, we mean losers).
- 2007-present Jeep Compass:
- 2002-2009 Chevy Trailblazer/GMC Envoy/Buick Rainier/Isuzu Ascender, etc. etc. etc:
- 2008-present Kia Borrego:
- 2007-present Dodge Nitro:
- 2005-2008 Isuzu i-Series:
- 2006-present Jeep Commander:
- 2006-present Honda Ridgeline:
- 2007-present Toyota FJ Cruiser: (I object Kind Sir!) (criticism is based purely on cosmetics, which is subjective and not 4×4 ability)
- 2005-present Dodge Dakota:
