Are 4runners just too damn common?
My wife and I noticed this and decided to count how many 4runners we would see on our 20 mins roundtrip to the grocery store. We counted 20 4runners in 6 miles (3miles each way). Of the 20, 3 of the 5th gens non-TRDPro had TRDPro wheels.

The way I see it, when the world goes to Hell in a hand basket, we’ll be able to find spare parts everywhere.

Agree. So hard to express my individuality through my material possessions when everybody else has one. I wish I drove something that nobody else liked and had no aftermarket support. stupid reliability

Try a Chevy Vega or AMC Pacer. That should make you stand out from the crowd and you can probably find one, somewhere. :-)

Same thing here. You said what I have thought many times.
I bought a 2011 right before at the Japanese tsunami that destroyed the assembly plant and had one of the only 5th gens for a couple of years. Now, not the case.

Yep me too. I have two TRD Pros. I bought the Pros for several reasons, and one of those is that you just don't see too many of them. Yes lots of Pro grills and wheels though. Oh well I'm very happy with them. Hers is completely stock except for the SSO Sliders but mine is undergoing a few more mods here and there. Just did a 2.5" lift and the 285s will be going on soon.

Really no more than the Tundras, Silverados, Durangos , Subarus. When you own one (or more) you become really aware of there numbers. We have a Runner & Tundra and they are freakin every where.

Common yes, soccer mom mobiles? yes
But who cares? So are Land Rovers and Chevy Cobalts, to each their own. I guarantee you there isn't another 4Runner that looks identical to mine and that's the way I like it. I've owned 3 4Runners so I know they're common around here, who cares, my truck is my truck

1. Depends on where you live in the US.
2. Why does it matter?
