I like the Car Care Nut but he just bought a Tundra knowing the issues they have, unless Toyota sold it to him half price that goes against his "old school" mantra that he always touts. I think the 5th gen 4Runner will be seen as a more capable off-road vehicle, more reliable and will last...

Apparently the Grand Highlander has a stop sale order on it and tomorrow they are shutting down production due to an airbag issue. Kirk Kreifield was also saying the LC250 and GX550 are being held up at the port while Toyota installs the "right" parts on them! I'm glad I bought a '24 4runner. I...

I ended up getting both. A 2024 white ORP and a 24 black 4 door Big Bend for my daughter. Her mother and I went in on it to get her through university in style, plus I can switch vehicles when I want:)

I ordered one from Taco Vinyl, it has topographical lines etched into it. Should be here soon.

I like the boxy style of Toyota BOF SUVs. If I can't have a land cruiser I want the 4R to resemble one. One narrow trails and tight Central American streets/roads you don't want a wide vehicle. The 70 series is perfection for these places.

Well I decided to play it safe. The Ford dealer were dicks to deal with and the Bronco would be $16,000 more overall. In Canada you cannot find a TRD Off-Road but found one 12 hours away. Either wait 4+ months out east here or try to find one further west. Hopefully will pick it up end of next...

Totally agree, way too long and wide. Windshield is too raked and it has lost it's character in my opinion. They had a chance to compete with Jeep and the Bronco here and blew it. Something the size of the 70 series with a Bronco set up and keep the 4.0 with 8 speed as an option. If this were a...

Toyota tried turbos in gas engines before and went away from them. They focused on NA motors for reliability and achieved great longevity. The Tundra has had turbo and engine problems even the LC300 has issues. Toyota retuned the 4.0 and put an 8 speed in the LC300 in some markets and it...

I have watched about 10 reviews of the new 4R on youtube and a few of the LC250 from Scotland. No one has anything bad to say about them, so they must be the perfect vehicle finally! All joking aside it's nice to see the features etc but the fanboys get a bit sickening. I like TRD Jon but he...

Well unless it grows on me which I doubt I can’t see myself ever buying this generation. 4.7 inches longer, the wheelbase has gone outside of Toyotas sweet spot for some reason. Most likely a couple of inches wider, overall too big for a 4Runner. I really like the looks of the LC250 but this...

I spent a week driving a new Sahara Jeep in Mexico last year and it was ok but the Bronco is a lot better in every way My brain says get a 4Runner but the heart says Bronco. It would be a daily driver so I’m concerned about it having issues that will have it in the shop a lot.

I know, the hybrid would be decent for power but I don't want to wait that long. Supposed to be revealed Tuesday morning.

I've had a couple of 4Runners and obviously love them. Recently test drove a 24 Bronco Heritage with the 2.7 twin turbo. Very impressive. I know this is a Toyota forum but still looking for opinions and see if anyone recommends the Bronco. The Heritage is in Azure grey, white removable hard...

I test drove a couple of Broncos today with the 2.7 in them. The heritage edition seems to be the sweet spot for the same price as a TRD Pro, the power was very impressive. Front/rear locker, 4 auto mode, 6 aux switches, 12 inch screen and all the removable stuff! But the reliability of a 3rd...

I'm surprised they didn't start the reveal tomorrow as it's 4-4-24 but I'll be surprised if there's no 4R pic tomorrow. There has usually been 5-6 before reveal which lines up with that date in May people are talking about. The LC250 having premium fuel requirement has me wondering if the Taco...
