Toyota have maintained the reputation of being number one in the industry for so long and, therefore, have the furthest to fall. They have set the highest standards of business management, and are used as an example of excellence for other companies, in any industry, to attempt to match. There...

I bought from a dealership in Ashville, NC, 1400 miles from home. I checked all the paperwork and photos and closed the deal before I left. I asked a tonne of questions to get an idea of the quality of the vehicle and the dealership. I checked on-line to see if there was any negative reports on...

The rack is a called a "SportRack Expedition" from Canadian tire. Nothing special, I just needed to buy something quick to load up skis for a Xmas vacation. It works well. Should have cost 650 but I got it on sale for 300. The Thules were sold out. Post some pics of your T4R if you've got the...

That IS service! Can't say that you hear of such support very often from dealers. I bought an '06 Ltd 4x4 V8 from the States, North Carolina just before Christmas. I checked out Toronto first as I live in Ontario. I probably checked your vehicle out on-line when it was for sale. Can I ask what...

Nice ride and welcome. I'm up in sunny Thunder Bay, NW Ontario.

I searched for 6 weeks and test drove about 10 before I found the T4R I wanted. I drove 1400 miles to NC to pick it up. Hard to find the exact specs. at the price I wanted.

Welcome to the forum, Kyle. Was the '08 a good deal, Ltd, V8? Post some photos!

:guitar3: Yep! Wasn't expecting too. Cost me $1400 Canadian in duty but I still believe the deal saved me about $5000 total compared to local prices. Lots of paper work and annoying expenses but, if you can be bothered putting up with all that, then it's worth it in the end.

Nice 4Runner! I just bought mine 2 weeks ago. I posted some pics under "New Member". Welcome to the club!

I promised to post photos of my new (to me) T4R that I picked up in North Carolina just before Christmas. Actually, it was the day of the snow storm that closed down Ashville but it didn't stop me from driving 24 hours and 1400 miles in my new 2006 ltd V8 T4R back to Thunder bay, Canada...

I think he put her into 4H and slipped the differential, tunes cranked!

I just bought a 2006 Ltd V8, loaded with 48k, immaculate, all service records, clean carfax, one owner from a Mercedes dealership in North Carolina for $22500. I've been searching the internet and locally for 4 weeks and viewed and test driven at least 15, T4R's. I am about as knowledgeable as I...

A mechanic told me that the new liquid salt they use on icey roads is 10 times more damaging to vehicles especially wheels and undercarage because it can get into places it wasn't likely too when salt was granular. However, the flaking wheels we were discussing, were on an '03 T4R. He...

I am about to buy a 2006 4Runner in the US. Is there any difference between 4Runners sold in the US compared to those sold in Canada (other than running lights and miles/km)? An owner selling his 4Runner in Canada told me the batteries and alternators are not as good quality in US 4Runners...

If you don't mind me asking, Danny, what did the '05 cost you? Mine was $22500!
