I've heard this for zillion times and I bet the people who promote do not own a 4x4 Toyota.
I have a LC and each single part of it cost some pretty bucks.
Just for example the brakes master costs 8000+ while for the fancy Cadillac Escelade that is tagged by its high maintenance cost the same part costs 3400 from the agency.

My advice is; enjoy your ride with the one you like more as anyways we will be ripped appart by maintenance cost
