Thanks for the info. I test drive one and kind of got the bug to trade my 4Runner for an FJ. Don't want to regret it

Just out of curiosity what made you sell the FJ? I've been lurking around the FJ forum and getting the bug to trade my 4Runner on one.

Sounds good man. You've given me the GX itch again, too, so I had to know!

HunterDonahue What did you end up deciding?

This. I drove a 3rd Gen Tacoma for a year before getting my current 4Runner and the transmission was one of the worst I've ever driven. It would hunt gears constantly at cruising/highway speeds. The biggest issue with it in my opinion was the gearing. Tuned entirely for fuel mileage, and...

Mag chloride will do that if not cleaned off relatively quickly. I would try clay bar, or, I've had pretty good luck with Meguiars PlastX or ScratchX or similar. Something with a microabrasive in it to buff that stuff out.

I knew I shouldn't have clicked here. This thread is making me miss my GX!

'18 Limited with 17 inch wheels Mine is hovering around 20.7 mpg with a mix of highway and city driving

I had a 2014 GX a few years ago after trading a hail damaged 15 Limited 4Runner. I liked the V8 in the GX, and didn't seem to get substantially worse mpg (about 1 less than the 4Runner did). It felt smoother to me, and the torque was noticeable. I did use premium gas, but I also put at...

Remote start Installed the accessorides kit last week, very straightforward and will be a huge benefit come winter

Get the OEM glass For what it's worth, I've had several windshields replaces over the last few years with "like kind and quality" and none of them were. Always felt like a cheap off brand, wavy and not first quality. So I'd say the OEM would be worth it. Also, make sure whichever one you use...
