Can you say a little bit about why you covered up the fins with the branded decoration? It seems like it would negate some of the heat rejection gains? Beautiful and inspiring build, BTW!

Interesting, I didn't stop to consider the Audi and Porsche options when I got my nearly-new 2019 T4R TRD Off Road. Why didn't I do that... ;-) It's interesting, from a psychological perspective this post reads like a confession and plea for acceptance. Or, like someone who is trying to...

The engine is the same, but keep in mind the Trail Edition has extras that come with some extra mass, like 4WD (transfer case, etc.) and probably has a rear locker too, right? Any extra mass would result in reduced fuel economy. But... once the road/trail goes unpaved we have a distinct...

Kicking myself. I was looking forward to doing a manual calculation at the pump today after work. As I began the fill-up, I settled in thinking this would take "a while" with it being a truck with a ~22 gallon tank. I'd forgotten that I'd hardly driven 80 miles since my last fill up, and thus...

**forgot to add that I've been going very light-footed on the gas, and anticipating far-ahead for red lights. I used to amateur hypermile, so not a newbie to basic fuel-efficient driving, again, FWIW.

I'd say lucky... I've had mine for two weeks and if I base the calc on OBC, I'm getting just shy of 13 MPG with pure city driving. Mixed city/freeway (plus one afternoon of OHV trails) was 17.5 MPG. That's with A/C running, though. The past few days, I've gone zero-A/C (but pure city driving)...

Agree! Momentarily thought I was a cool kid with a Gen-6! :doh:

Very nice work on contouring the rack's runners to match the roofline's shape. Nice looking rack system.

These pics got me in the weekend mood! Only one more shift and then it's time for the weekly outdoor season!

Your license plate is cooler too ;-) That's a nice rig you got.:cool:

Wow, and this is in the new owners thread? Ok... I realize it's the new member's thread :-) That front end looks killer, you're helping me set some goals!

I'm not usually a fan of black 4Runners, but in it's element (on the bronze trail) yours looks gorgeous!

I love the orange background digital display... wish I'd bought my T4R when the 4th gen came out. Ended up in a Prius, but then went to Jeep and finally came back to a 2019 T4R TRDOR last week. I love the old school display in yours.
