    new 5th gen runner or f150

    We went from an 09 F150 FX4 luxury supercab to a 2011 Tacoma DC TRD sport and the 2010 4Runner TE. Obviously they are all completely different vehicles. They are both getting much better mileage than the F150. They are also much "sportier" to drive, and easier to drive as they aren't as wide. We...

    Transmissions

    My mom used to have an 07 G35x sedan, with a 5 speed auto. That was a fantastic tranny... power was always RIGHT there. We upgraded her to an 09 G37x coupe, which has a 7 speed auto. I HATE the 7 speed! Anytime you want to step on it it pauses, drops a gear, and then sometimes drops another one...

    First Long Trip (6000 km)...

    I usually average around 11.9/12.0 when doing flat highway driving, usually between 120-130. I'm very impressed considering the size of the damn thing!

    Installed Borla Exhaust

    Sounds pretty good. I think we all want a more detailed video though haha.... set the camera down and do an acceleration video... and do an inside the cabin acceleration + highway speeds video. It sounds pretty similar to the TRD exhaust for the Tacoma I think. From what I've read the TRD...

    5th gen buyer's remorse?

    Sometimes I wish I had gone for the Canadian SR5 upgrade package, which looks almost identical to the TE from the outside (minus the hood scoop, black roof rails, and wheels). Obviously you would lose the off-road features (not that I have used any of them beyond 4-High yet), but you would gain...

    [repost]...10 Ways You Waste Money on Your Car

    9 and 10 seem kinda dumb IMO.... if you are buying a car that comes stock with high-performance tires, why cheap out on a replacement set? The stock tires on our 09 STI are high-performance summer tires, I'm not going to go out and get a set of all-seasons to replace them. The car handles...

    GTA meet

    Sorry everyone, haven't been on the forum for a bit. I'm still interested! When I have some spare time I'll try to do a little planning, now that we have a few guys interested!

    Wheelskins installed - pictures and thoughts

    Nice. I've never been a fan of wheel covers... yet if I can't find a Limited or SR5 upgrade package steering wheel on ebay soon I may be reduced to ordering one..

    Will the 5th gen last?

    Damn you hit the ball right outta the park! :hatsoff::hatsoff: Couldn't agree with you more. I should print off your post and carry it around so when people ask why we have an ugly $45k SUV with no nav and no navigation and I can just give them a handout of your post! lol

    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Nice catch :hatsoff: They are all my Dad's, he is collecting/restoring them haha. He has quite a few more 6's inside the barn. Most are 630s/633s, but he has three 635s as well. He likes the earlier cars a bit more (something about them being lighter and sportier whereas the later ones became...

    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Got a chance to do a nice detail/wax on the 4Runner the other day, but forgot to take pictures.... so here are some of the 4Runner up at our farm, a little bit dirtier than after the wash but still pretty clean and damn good looking!

    Create Your Own 5th Gen

    The Trail Edition is just about perfect IMO. Here's what I would change though: -A/T tires from the factory -offer Navigation as an option (we can't get it up here in Canada!) -have an optional leather package that adds heated leather seats and a leather steering wheel. Just because it's an...
