Yeah and not to mention the fact most good trailheads have pavement right up to them, or within 100 yards. Plus, I just did not trust the Middle East over the next decade. I could handle $500 in gas for 18 months, but over yearrs and years and especially if Iran and Saudi get into it, I did not...

Toyota Safety Nonsense

My 17.5 mpg in a nearr-stock TRD OR was so ridiculously low, I just swapped it for a 2019 Accord Hybrid that gets 46mpg real world. Then used the savings in gas (from the first month alone) to get some Danner Mountain Light boots and be content with driving to the trailheads and hiking it in...

Petrol hasn't been low in CA for about a year, and the last 3+ months has been bad. I sold my 2018 TRD OR for a 2019 Accord Hybrid (232+ lbft torque and all my favorite trails have paved roads getting you to or near the trailhead)... so their stalling is def having an impact. I drive 24k miles...

It's slow, and burns gas like a pig doing so. The 2019 Accord Hybrid I sold my 5th gen for does 0-60 in 6.7 lol. Of course I can't offroad the Accord, but I'd come to the realization recently that all my favorite trails are best done via hike or horse-ride, so I'm good.

Truthfully, the dash gauge cluster anshould be slightly off-centered, but to the right (for a left hand drive). I noticed this on my Miata back in the day, and now my 4runner. My guess is that being aimed a couple degrees toward center makes a driver feel more like they're in the middle of the...

Toyota being Toyota, and into OCD levels of continuous improvement, I guarantee there are tons and tons of tiny-ass little differences we'd never know without part lists or software version numbers. But stuff like engine tune has likely changed for the better, the metalurgy in parts, the rubber...

Btw not sure if it was mentioned but I 100% guarantee this handle was left off just the US 4Runner because of US-specific crash testing. Not positive which test, but I'm guessing that it impeded on the dummy (or the dummy's momentum pushed it into the handle orclose to it) in some offset or...

Has me wondering if a 2021 4runner will be all-new. Lotta random things changing or being discontinued or launching. TRD Pro exhaust. Cutting the intake. A move to add a new option package for the Venture edition to help get excess TRD Pro wheels out the door, etc.

Curious if the drone goes away over a few hundred miles as the exhaust breaks in and coats with carbon? This usually happens in other exhausts, but it mellows sound. Not sure it would get rid of a drone completely =/

Can you confirm no bondo used in the repairs? Some youtube vids on how to check that. I'd consider that much damage on a new truck tainted goods and a nightmare. Ugh.

Only if you don't air down. Which you're supposed to regardless of KDSS unless you want your struts to overheat and die prematurely. I hear ya tho. Airing down sucks. Wish every 4x4 used that central inflating hub trick that the military Hummer has. Auto air-up/down would be so nice.

Kinnoobic Dynoobic Suspennoob Sysnoobnoobnoob-ee-doob. Ie, KDSS uber alles

Lol Noobs assuming their data is apples to apples and a trd pro would legit score almost double any other 4runner's RTI. Then switches topics when he hears the 30 degree ramp changed to 20 degree from 2014 2019. And other lil chump not admitting his wrongitudinal aligment. lol. Noobs gon' noob.
