Not many around here. I might see a few a week, and they are usually 3rd/4th gens. I bought my 2016 and didn't see another 5th gen for months, and when I did it was a limited. Took about a year before I saw another TE or Pro, now I have seen 3 or 4 different ones and a few SR5s. Area is...

You live in Canada and didn't get Krown rust-proofing? I had Krown applied (not at the dealership) the day I bought mine and had (and will have) it re-applied every spring. Mine has only seen two winters in Northern Ohio, but they do salt heavily here and mine still looks new underneath. I...

The size of the 5th gen is perfect to me. A lot of people think Toyota spit out some monstrosity with the 5th gen, but I think it's only 1"x1"x1" bigger than the 4th gen. I went from a 3rd gen to 5th gen. Loved the 3rd gen, but I hated how narrow it was. A center console in a truck/suv...

This can also be said as, Made in the US vs made in Japan. I hate to say that, but there....I've said it.

It's amazing what people can tell from a few blurry pictures. Drivetrain, technology, etc.

There is a difference between being 'kept' by owners and being 'stuck with' it. Most people aren't going to trade out of something they are upside down on. I know someone who traded in a 1.5 year old Overland that he paid 48k for. He got 33k out of it and it only had like 18k miles. Most...

I was disappointed because I was hoping for something different. (BOF, beast) I don't think it's a middle finger though. They're not replacing the 4runner with this. They see a market in this particular category and are trying something different. They aren't trying to lure away the...

I just read where the 4Runner is up 25.5% for March 2017. The best ever March and 1st Q it has ever had.

Yeah, just saw it. What a disappointment. :laugh:

The fender flare looks promising. https://mobile.twitter.com/Toyota/status/851892632250920961

Concept cars are never meant to go into production as-shown. They are not built with costs, functionality, safety regulations, included...which is why you always end up with something different. You see these huge tires/wheels, shaved door handles, shaved roof (headroom anyone?), tiny mirrors...

At first I was surprised at the $44k base price. Then I did the US > CDN currency conversion. So about $34k USD is about right. The Tundra thing is throwing me off a little. Our 'base' model SR Tundra is around $30k. So in canadian dollars that should be $40k. How are Tundras sold in...

The only thing that gives me hope is: The lettering for the size 225/55/18 looks off. Like maybe it was put there accidentally or to throw someone off of what it really is. Their press release has the title. Four Wheeling. Scene Stealing. This sort of makes me think of the jeep/removable...

225/55/18 tires are found on vehicles like the Subaru Forester, Jeep Renegade, Mitsu Outlander. The FT-4x trademark came out right around the time Ford announced the Bronco. Almost every article since then has been talking about a possible FJ replacement or another Bronco competitor...

Not that surprising. I average about 5k - 6k miles per year. So when my 16 gets that old mine will probably only have 30k miles on it. There is a 2011 Trail for sale near me that has 21k miles on it. :tea:
