I think you are better off with a v8 bud. 4 runners are great vehicles but are not meant for heavy towing. Short distances may be ok but air bags are a must for load control. I have firestone ride rite air bags and I am very pleased.

Not too much of a lift but I thought it was worth sharing just for the hell of it. This is my wifes Mag Gray 2013 4runner SR5 premium 4wd. I added the a toytec top spacer to get the nose up and firestone ride rite air bags for hauling whatever. Couldn't go with the lift cuz the wife was preggers...

Well I said I would post an update on towing with a set of air bags. I could not imagine having to tow a trailer without them. I ran 11lbs. of air in the firestone ride rite airbags and that was more than enough to stabilize the vehicle and trailer and keep everything level. The trailer was a...

I just installed the firestone ride rite air bags on my wifes 2013 sr5 4runner 4x4. I will be towing with it for the first time in a week(4/5/13). I have a 6'x12' enclosed uhaul trailer on reserve. I'll let you know how they perform. Its a good 7-8 hour trip I will be making on a mix between...

I ended up purchasing from a different dealer than originally planned and had a great buying experience. I purchased a 2013 mag gray sr5 4x4 with the premium package and 3rd row seats. The original price I got down to was 39k. I decided to add a few things after that increased the final price...

Also, i am going to take everyones advise and not even worry about the tires in the deal.

Unfortunately here in little rock there are not very many dealers to choose from. The tax was calculated subtracting the trade in from the sale price of the vehicle.

Hellamatic- you aren't kidding! Haha. Thanks for all the help guys. I just left the dealership and made no deal. He tried to tell me they would only give me $340 credit for the stock tires and that they wouldn't be able to re sell them for full price. Keep in mind the vehicle is being delivered...

Silver- list was 38,200. bob- It's my wifes car so she needs running boards with the lift i am going to throw on and the 285's. the lift was her idea but she isnt very tall and has a hard time getting in my lifted truck with a skirt on. i do however enjoy watching her try :biggrin2: The toyota...

I am in Little Rock, Arkansas. Based on some of the research i have done it seems the msrp with the options mine has is between 38k and 38.6k with invoice around 35k. I want to do tires included in the price because it is more convenient. Both mine and my wifes schedules dont jive at all so if...

The dealer I am negotiating with gave me a price of 37,120 on a Mag Gray 2013 SR5 4x4 with convenience package, leather seats and running boards. This is without tt&l. Looking at 39,000 with tt&l. He offered me 6k on my trade in and I said I wouldn't take less than 8k and he agreed. Me and my...

Y'all are awesome! Thanks for the replies. I did a half ass search before asking but I didn't have time to sift through search results. Thanks again and once I get it I will be sure to post pics and give y'all the details of how the sale went for future reference.

I am about to purchase a 2013 SR5 4x4 and the dealership has agreed to install bilstein 5100's front and rear and toytec 2" lift rear springs. Salesman tells me today that his service manager has had problems in the past with the stability control on the 4 runners after installing the lift. I...

Great advice! Man I can't thank y'all enough for all the good advice! I may actually try to get invoice price and then negotiate the additional features and see how that all plays out. I do have a vehicle to trade in also but I'm going to take that and use it to pay off my truck. I would love...

Hey everyone this is my first post but long time visitor to the site. I will be purchasing a 2013 SR5 4wd and was looking for some advice on whether i'm asking for a little too much from the dealer. The 4 runner i'm looking at is a Black SR5 4wd with the convenience package and leather upgrade...
