That's why I love my Land Cruiser. All the electronic stuff you want (power windows, locks, cruise, A/C) without any extra crap to break. Non-OBD, so the smog stuff is going bye-bye as well. No airbags, no ABS, very few sensors to crap out. It's just a truck, and every time you turn the key it starts.

My wife's '03 4Runner was the best I've had for oil changes. Plug in the bottom of the pan with an access cover in the skid-plate to get to the plug (as opposed to removing the entire damn thing). Filter mounted upside down on the top of the motor, but with a drip collar to catch the leaking oil. The drip collar then had a small drain plug to drain the excess oil into a cup for disposal.
