I know the Pro has dual climate control. Not sure if the SR5 premium or Trail premium have that as well? I thought they didn't? It might not matter to certain people or the OP. Personally my wife and I used very different temperatures so this is a must have feature for me. I don't know how much...

+1 Exactly! The brakes on the T4R are not great (but didn't expect for great brakes) They still are brakes and do the job when driving the truck properly. Can you find better brakes on an evo, M3, 911, etc... Of course! but again,it's an irrelevant comparison If OP almost rear ends cars...

Here's the thread dedicated to these 4runners http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/199793-detailed-list-items-mods-expedition-overlands-4runner.html

Episode 9 is the best so far. And the next one seems quite promising! Finally some off-roading... Also, congrats to the girls for finishing the rallye des gazelles Btw "gazelle" is the animal but it's also the slang for "girl" in french

If it's too cold then turn the temperature fob clockwise to make it less cold? Or did I not understand your issue? I'm confused...

better have ventilated front seats, cool A/C, push button to start, panoramic sunroof, 46 MPG combined, etc...

btw "S" stands for "Sequential", not for "Sport" :)

2 things: "Why would I trust you? You just joined and have eight posts. How about I trust the people who did the research and countless surveys to find out what customers actually want in their 4Runner? " You're a joke, because the forum is life. If you have 2000 posts it means you founded...

Prove me wrong... and I know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not saying that Toyota parts are cheap. I said that the total of parts in a T4R costs less than the total parts in a GC. Toyota invests more money in engineering and development than in parts compared to most car makers. But if...

It's not about better parts. In terms of parts Toyota doesn't pay more (probably a lot less actually) than parts found in a GC, Audi, BMW, etc... There's much more than parts. There are engineers, profitability, management, and much more. It's because people like you think that Toyota use...

That's why I said in my first post that Toyota uses its reliability to its advantage. For me and most people here, we own a Toyota because we don't want to have mechanical issues. Not because their interior is nice and loaded with the last tech on the market. And Toyota KNOWS that. That's why...

I also live in Phoenix. When the T4R is in the shade it's not too bad. But as soon as you go to the supermarket or somewhere with no shade, it's literally an oven and takes forever to feel the A/C (compared to a 2014 Grand Cherokee, a 2010 lexus, and a 2007 hyundai santa fe at least). Also I...

I completely agree with that and this is exactly my point. The interior and technology in a brand new $30-33k Hyundai Sonata/Tucson is as good as a brand new $45-50k Lexus IS. If you want a good interior with Toyota (so Lexus) it's gonna be $10-15k more that the competition. I would like to...

Toyota is known for their great reliability. They know it and clearly use it to their advantage. They lack in many other aspects. Technology, A/C, ergonomics, cheap interior quality, etc... you name it. It's such a shame because if they had the interior equivalent to their competition they...
