I'll sell it for $27,500. That's a good $2,500 lower than you'll find on the lots.

Selling my 2007 Sport V6 (Natural White) with 16K miles. Includes Weathertech all-season floor mats and factory mats. Tow kit, steering wheel controls, all power, moon roof, everything that comes with the sport edition. Also have a bug deflector not yet installed. Every service has been...

Hey man, no worries. I don't blame you one bit. That's the problem with these message boards. My opinions are generalizations, but there are obviously exceptions. The reason why I don't trust dealerships has to do with their fee structure. They inflate their rates up to 200%. My Japanese...

screw the dealers As a seasoned car/truck owner in my 40's and a life long sales professional, I always chuckle when I read how people "trust" their dealers. I won't mince words here. They are the least trustworthy of any auto shop. Period. $199 for a 15K mile inspection? Are you kidding...

I'm curious to know if this happens to anyone else. Occasionally when I'm stopped at a red light or stop sign on a hill, my truck will roll back while I'm transitioning from brake to gas and the transmission will go "CLUNK" and I will hear a BEEPING noise. The fact that Toyota designed the...

The first thing to ask yourself is how long do you plan on keeping your 4runner? If you're thinking that you'll keep her for over 150K miles, then you could probably benefit from some of the higher end detailing products on the market. If you're like most people and you trade in your vehicle...

I don't mind the Cobra seat, but what bugs me is that you only have one. I would personally spring for a passenger side seat as well, but then again I'm pretty neurotic about matching up that kind of stuff.

This isn't a slam on synthetic oils, but unless you plan on keeping your 4runner for 200K miles or beyond, you'll do just fine with dino or synthetic blend.

I had the clear bra (3M) on my now departed Infiniti G35, but I decided not to get it on my new 4runner. It's a great product, and it does help to keep the front of your vehicle chip free. It also makes cleaning the front bumper a snap, as bugs and tar don't stick to the bra. On the flip...

This may upset some people on here, but I personally think that BMW's and Honda's offer better driving characteristics than Toyota's. That is, after all, what the magazine caters to. I chose my 4runner because I think it's a well built, durable, and reliable SUV.

I was considering a pickup truck before settling on my 4runner, and I have to say that the Silverado and Titan were my top-2 picks. The Silverado is awesome. Chevy hit a home run with the redesign.

3 of the nicest asses I've seen in a while. :)

I love my 4runner for all of the "manly" qualities it provides. I take it up to the mountains and we'll do a lot of camping this summer. At the same time, I'm also a Dad who has make frequent trips to the grocery store. I'm not too proud to admit that I use the hooks for groceries.

Well I don't think you're nuts, but if it were me I'd get something different for variety if nothing else. A pickup truck would give you more flexibility if you own a home and/or haul anything. A smaller SUV like the RAV would give you something quicker, with more agility, and with better gas...

Limit the chemicals I've taken a couple of detailing courses and the advice that was given to me was to use a California mini-duster for most of your cleanings. Try to only apply a chemical dash cleaner a few times per year. Chemical residue accumulates quickly in a closed cockpit, and unless...
