Just wondering why you do not see any advertisemets for the new 2011 4Runners? Are they phasing out the 4runner in favor of Rav4 or Highlander?

Only my opinion, but I noticed when Toyota was in the headlines last year they were offering deals.............but not on the 4Runners. I think that they sell without a whole lot of advertising.

The 4Runner is still a pretty new body (since 2010), where as the Highlander was new in 2008 and went through a mild refresh for 2011, and the Rav4 hasn't been updated since 2006. Plus, both the Highlander and Rav are more popular than the 4Runner, so Toyota is more apt to give out better deals for them.

Maybe because the latest version of the Runner is kinda ugly?
