I am 6'5" and have plenty of head room in my trail. Plenty of leg room too. When I lifted mine, I felt normal cause I have to hop up in a little now.

I bought the 2012 SR5 with leather, 3rd row, and nav. If I could sell this one without losing lots of $$$, I would get the Trail without the 3rd row.

I feel for ya, would've been a much harder decision for me with the Canadian models. Luckily down here it was a no brainer.

That is what I did. Heated Leather is the first and one of the best things I did to my TE. TwoTone Black with Graphite. It has held up like Iron too.

for the money, sr5 will last longer (less electronics to break)
Trail has better suspension, more toys to play with, and some better under chassis protection.

I left a 5-series bmw only after 5 1/2 years because I could not afford to continue making repairs. I wanted a vehicle that could last at least 10years without a major investment.

Do you mean Multi-Terrain Select or Multi-Terrain ABS? A-TRAC is the same on all three packages. Multi-Terrain Select is kind of like off-road traction control. Honestly I haven't used it much and when I did only noticed a slight difference.

But the hood scoop makes it go faster!! I think it's one of those things you either like or you don't.

There isn't really any empirical data to support this on the 4Runner. You might as well say the same thing about power windows, cruise control, power seats, etc.

I think the biggest question is how much off road use the truck will see. The SR5 is very capable off the shelf for most off road situations. IMO, the rear locker was worth the price of admission because I knew I'd be taking the truck off road and I've run into obstacles where I needed it. Crawl control is pretty neat but you can get by without it. I've never driven an SR5 or Limited so I couldn't say how much of a difference KDSS makes.

I'm glad I have my locker but I luvs me some ATRAC.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! I didn't not expect this sort of response being a new member. You're feedback is greatly appreciated.

Apparently I was talking about the Multi-Terrain ABS and Multi-Terrain Select. I don't know where I got Mult-mode from. That's probably why I couldn't find it in any searches.

Katzkinz looks awesome, I just have to look into the availability in Canada. Have any Canadian's had Katzkinz or another leather seat upgrade done here?

I can't believe the overwhelming support for the TE, I think with the ability to upgrade the seats to leather for about 2K, I'm pretty much sold.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
