I have the JBL with traffic updates. In SF Bay Area it works fine. Traffic problems show up and it asks me if I want to reroute. I usually say "no" and reroute myself because I know better than the GPS, but I like getting the updates and they've saved me some time. That said, there was one...

I agree, but they are sort of growing on me (literally).

Okay, I went from a '04 LE V8 to a '11 TE. Things I miss: 1. Heft of the doors, etc., overall quality feeling of the 4th gens. 2. Personal preference: I really like the styling of the 4th gens. Things I love about my '11 1. Seats are a lot more comfortable 2. Ride is quieter, more...

Zaino is amazing. I used it on my black Honda S2000 for years. Not sure what exactly I'd buy (their formulas are kind of complicated), but definitely more than $100 worth. Thanks for organizing!!!

I've noticed that my rig is very sensitive to how it's driven (maybe I'm just more sensitive with the ECO light and all the great posts here regarding mileage). I've noticed that my wife completely ignores the ECO light and gets substantially less mileage (2-3 mpg less by the rig's trip...

Being a numbers guy, I tend to avoid extended warranties. After all, it isn't really 7 years and 125,000 miles because the new car power train (which is what I would worry about) warranty is 5 years and 60,000 miles. If I drive 15,000 a year, then I'll hit the 60K in 4 years, so now I would be...

Whew, I would find a new stealership, for sure. I think you can buy them directly from Toyota Financial. Here's a link with suggested prices: http://www.toyotafinancial.com/consumer/ShowBinary/BEA%20Repository/tfs/en_US/document/vsa/VSA_PricingGuide_FA.pdf

Love my truck, but here are the nits (mostly things that I miss from my old 4th gen): -Put the assist handle back on the A pillar, driver side (love the one over the window, tho) -Put back the locking gas cap door -Shakey hood -Bulging tail lights (I always liked the way the tail lights on the...

I just bought a TE a few weeks ago that replaced an '04 LE. I loved the old LE, but wanted the new stuff. I looked at the Explorer. It was nice, but felt more like a station wagon. Reminded me of an old LTD wagon with wood on the sides. Comfortable, but for me, not as comfortable as the 4r...

Howdy. I've been reading this forum for awhile, and it's great. Thanks to all! I just traded my '04 LE for a new '11 TE with KDSS, Nav & JBL (I think it was the last '11 on the lot, so I got it for "invoice" and a good trade-in value without too much hassle). Tough decision, because I really...
