Sounds more like something is being added to the 4R lineup rather than any kind of redesign - maybe a hybrid or bringing the Tundras 4.6 V8 - that's my guess.

It appears that they made the roof a little stronger (a very little), just enough to get the 4 times strength to weight ratio needed for a "Top Safety" pick. IIHS vehicle ratings

When it comes time to sell - having a newer (1 model year) vehicle, might more than make up for the $400. Also, 4Runners built after Oct 2012 now qualify as IIHS 'Top Safety' picks.

Good luck with the Acura. I really like the MDX. As much as I like my T4R, there are some things that do bother me. It handles horrible on rough roads. I have X-Reas and don't notice the nose-dive and it corners just fine, so the on-road handling is plenty good. But, get on a bumpy road (like...

CR is probably the LAST place I would go for vehicle opinions.

If you are looking for a winter tire, Blizzak make a tire that fits the stock 20's. Blizzaks are the best winter tire I have used and the thin rim on the stock 20's are actually better in snow.

Scum bags probably thought is was a gas line.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I guess it is normal. I will be renewing my service after the year is up. My safety and that of my family is worth it. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Hi- The T4R Limited comes with the 'SOS' button (Safety Connect). I did a test call the other day to register and verify it was all setup and that they could in fact find my location. The call went fine and they are very nice. However, I noticed that the ONLY audio I received from the call...

Not sure what it is - but every car bluetooth system I have ever used, including my Limited with my DroidX, has the same issue.

Wow - looks great! Absolutely beautiful.

This is excellent advice!

I don't think anyone is getting 28MPG. But the 22 MPG it is rated for (or even a little better) should be do-able. The factors are: 1) How new is your Runner - how many miles on it? 2) What is your tire pressure? 3) Do you have any mods - including tires? 4) What kind of gas are you using? 5)...

Make sure your tire pressure is good - that will affect your MPG's. Also, the faster you go, the worse your MPG's will be. Try using ethanol-free gas when you fill up if available. Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada Make sure your spare tire is good and properly inflated and that...

Maybe you can file a claim with your insurance company and let them go after the tow company. When you signed the receipt, did it have a damage waiver in small print? I would be just as PO'd as you are and would file a police report and pursue legal action.
