This was on the front page of the BBC this morning, not a bad way to start the day... short and concise but not a bad quick read this AM. BBC - Autos - Most fascinating SUV of 2014: Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro

I am sure some of you have come across this story/blog before, but I figured it is worth posting for those who haven't. A man actually did what many on here have probably dreamt of doing - often during those moments when daydreaming while driving your t4r, or working on it, while trying to fall...

Well in that case what you think is wrong. I got a great deal at the time of purchase and the msrp was just over 37k. I am surprised you can speak for all Toyota dealers and their reasoning from 3 years ago. Sorry if your negotiation skills were not as fruitful.

Yeah, I have to look up the original MSRP but it was around that 37k to 38k range and we got the price down to 32.5k not including tax title et al. I've PM'd you back, not sure if it went thru though so PM me if you didn't get a long ass reply in your inbox. All the best.

smallcrap, sounds like you might have found my trail I sold to a dealer a while back - i sold it to a dealership in MA and they said they were sending it to CT. Still a slight chance that it is but if so, they bought it from me for $28500. It is a pretty basic trail edition in classic silver...

Completely agree with you, not all new diesels are good diesels...also this post started talking about jeep, bad idea in a toyota forum (but respect for the op for bringing out a good convo). On the other hand there are plenty of diesels by other companies that aren't "neutered" or however else...

I can only chime in from my own experience and what I've learned but here it is. In 2009 we bought a Diesel BMW X5 - its a 3 litter, twin-turbo which makes 425 lbs of torque and around 260hp. We loved it from the get go, the torque definitely isn't just for towing, the pull you get from stop...

I was wondering if anyone has noticed their windshield showing a lot of "sandblasting" already? I just passed 19k and have noticed the windshield has so many small micro abrasions on it already from driving - there are tons of them that people riding in the passenger side have been thrown off...

+1 on the passenger side rattle and creak...annoys me enough that i always keep the radio on - dealer said they didn't notice it when i asked them to check it out twice...first time they told me it was a leaf under the cabin filter but it didn't go away after it was cleaned up, second time they...

Just wondering if people in the area would wanna have a meet one of these weekends? It would be cool seeing other 4runners that are around. I'm from the East Coast but have been out in the Midwest for the past few months so anyone have any suggestions, ideas, or think this is an utterly useless...

Hey, yeah I am willing to go down on price. to be honest I just don't like it as much anymore on my trail and thought it would be better used on someone else's rig rather than sitting around in my garage. Just give me a reasonable offer and I'll think about it...I just pulled the 50 bucks out of...

OEM Toyota Exhaust Tip I have an OEM Toyota Exhaust Tip I'm thinking of getting rid of. I have a Trail Edition and the Tips were made for the Limited and Sr5 I believe, I've had it on for a few months but it doesn't look right on the Trail. I'm in the Chicago Area if anyone is interested, I...

I actually found an amazing dealer near Chicago but thanks for the help. The Service Manager put in the order for the headlights to be replaced and they put brand new ones in as well as took care of a TSB on the Front Diff. The new ones haven't hazed yet and it was done just after Thanksgiving...

Quick Update: Finally had a chance to go back into the dealer, the service manager looked at the headlights and confirmed that they were abnormal. He approved the replacement and they have ordered parts numbered 81130-35530 and 81170-35530. I also mentioned to him how other people on here have...

I have an appt for friday for this same issue, anyone able to get more info on the TSB? The rattle drives me nuts since my commute is all local and on some lousy roadwork every morning...hope they can figure it out.
