    Do you leave your front license plate on?

    I'm in VA too. We don't have a choice on the front license plate...or being able to use radar detectors.

    Pearson Toyota-Newport News, VA

    I recently purchased my 2nd 4R from Pearson. My salesperson was John Spain. He really worked hard to get me a fair deal on my 2011 4Runner SR5. I wanted a chrome exhaust tip for the truck and he got me one at a discounted rate. Out of the two Toyota dealerships on the Peninsula, Pearson...

    4runner, xterra, fjcruiser etc for performance and safety

    I don't really have experience with the Xterra but own an '05 and '11 4Runner and test drove the FJ. Our '05 has passenger and driver airbags but side curtain air bags were an option our's didn't come with. The '11 has these as standard. I liked the FJ but it had pretty serious blind-spots...

    4th or 5th generation?

    After we paid off my wife's 4th gen, I began looking for one for myself. I really like the vehicle. What I found were a lot of 2008's with 50,000+ miles on them. I could not find a low mileage 4th gen anywhere. People love these vehicles. After considering this and how I wanted a low...

    Am I an idiot or what? 4th -> 5th?

    We just picked up our second 4Runner, a 2011, and I pull 2 ATV's or a boat on a normal basis with our 05 V6 SR5. After driving the 2011, I have no doubt that it has more than enough power/torque for medium duty towing. With 85% highway driving, I'm averaging 20.8 MPG. I do like the features...

    We're a 2 T4R family

    Not this time. She quite willingly went along with me having the new one. Plus, I think she's personally attached to the 2005.

    We're a 2 T4R family

    After my wife has been having all the fun driving our 2005 Classic Silver Metallic 4x4 SR5 for the past several years, I decided it was time to have my own. So, this past week I picked up a 2011 Magnetic Gray Metallic SR5. It has 3rd row seating, sonar and the convenience package. I picked up...

    A/T & M/T Tires

    Just my $.02: I've ran both BFG M/T and A/T's and have been impressed with both tires. The A/T's have held up very well on one of my trucks and I've not had any problems with them in the rain, for beach driving, and snow. They are not a good mud tire by any means, because they clog up...

    Happy new owner

    I can definitely see the possibility of a 2nd 4Runner in the future. They are such awesome vehicles!

    Which Oil Filter do you use?

    The dealer told me to only use Toyota filters to keep my extended warranty valid. It sounds kind of flaky to me but it's okay with me.

    Happy new owner

    I am already dreading that personal property tax bill. It's the state's way of "thanking" you for spending money.
