Bought an '05 with 12.5k miles on it and it now has 35k. Tonight I realized it has an overdrive gear which I've never used - wow - don't I feel like a dumbXXX. I can't imagine I've hurt anything as the truck runs great but any thoughts? Have I hurt the truck in any way? Also, are you guys...

Congrats Spaceman... the SAs are supposed be a great tire. Do you get any rub with them and did you get a load range "c" tire?How's the ride? Please post pics as I'm leaning strongly toward that tire and would like to see how they look. Really appreciate a quick review/impressions. Thanks!

Newbie here - first post. Looking to buy 1st toyota ever, a 4runner. Want used (because of budget) sr5 4wd. Lots of 04s available and a few 05s for alot more money. Question is, is the 05 worth the extra $$ for the overdrive on the v6? Other issues and considerations also welcome. Thanks...
