I wonder if the inclusion of TSS means the screen in the instrument cluster has been updated too or if they reprogrammed the existing one to display any information needed. Even the standard screen Toyota has been including in their other models for years would be a huge upgrade.

It’s funny you say that. I just test drove one yesterday and thought the steering wheel could be closer. I also noticed the fob and other key on the chain were dangling on my leg the entire time. If I could have pulled the steering wheel up a bit that would not have been an issue.

I sat in a Tacoma, ready to go for a test drive, and went to adjust the seat which felt like I was sitting in a toddler's chair and lo-and-behold there was no seat height adjustment in the $34k MSRP vehicle. Think about that for a second. It turns out that there is no way to adjust seat height...

Nice deal. That's the price I'm trying to hit for the same options. Mind if I ask which dealer and did they screw you on a trade in?

I like the exterior look of the current version, but I'm hoping they will at least revise the interior and powertrain. Even if a powertrain update only brings about ~1mpg improvement overall that is a not so insignificant difference when you consider the poor fuel economy of the 4runner. Of...

I'd at least take a look at swapping the stock system out for an aftermarket android head unit...they can be had for a pretty reasonable price.

I was interested to see if there was any correlation between gas prices and sales so I made a graph of each for comparison. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19G5fUiPjVP5XkW0LEireFxEsXEZ0kz1gzGHGUdskWN8/edit?usp=sharing

Just to add to the speculation: Take it with a grain of salt since it's just a random guy on the interwebs, but this guy over at TN is claiming no 4runner refresh until 2018. Toyota over the next few years - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I would also be interested in getting the dealer info.

So about ~34.5k for an SR5 premium with 4WD and rear seats? Any other options/fillers in that price? That sounds pretty darn good to me. Did they screw you on a trade in or something?

I'm now exploring the hertz car sales route since you can get a pretty decent deal on SR5s with 4wd with out all the extra crap the dealers load up the vehicles with. They'll probably be missing the nav, but I honestly don't think I'd use the built in nav very often--the phone will be used in...

Hey guys, I am looking at a 2014 trail which is not advertised as having KDSS, and I'm pretty far away from the seller so I cannot inspect the underside myself at this time. I've also run the vin through a vin decoder and it did not mention KDSS (I've run some 2014s with KDSS and it did not...

I would also look at the Dodge Durango if you need decent towing capability and don't go offroad....or not if you're scared of perceived unreliability.

I'm seeing some pretty decent discounts in this thread. How are you guys going about negotiating these prices? I am searching over a wide swath of the southeast and the best offers I am receiving are around $1k off (2016 4WD SR5s, and even a few 2015s), most with tons of accessories. I keep...
