    Sienna or Odyssey? Time has come to move from the T4R

    Thanks for the input, going to test drive both this weekend My budget puts me into a 2011 or 2012 of either one. I am going to test drive these this weekend and try to see which one I like better. I saw a 2012 Sienna SE that actually looks pretty nice for a minvan with only 68,000 miles near...

    Sienna or Odyssey? Time has come to move from the T4R

    that's why I considered the GX470 I was trying to convince the wife that the GX470 would be a good compromise for the third row but practicality in the name of gas mileage and overall convenience has won the day.

    Sienna or Odyssey? Time has come to move from the T4R

    Sienna or Odyssey? Would love to hear your thoughts. Always some great insight from this board. Looking at getting a used Sienna or Odyssey 2008 - 2012? I live in Minnesnowta so I'll probably be getting a set of snow tires for winter. Don't know if the extra money for the AWD Sienna is worth it.

    Anyone in the Twin Cities, MN? Need 4runner suspension front end person

    I am looking for a good suspension/front end person in the Twin Cities, MN. My 4runner just isn't driving the way she used to and I would like to get to the bottom of it without going to the dealer. I don't do the work myself so I am hoping to find a local mechanic that has a better than...

    Toyota to settle U.S. truck rust lawsuit for up to $3.4 billion

    This doesn't seem to cover 4runners. Does the 4runner have a different frame? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-toyota-settlement-idUSKBN1370PE

    Should I avoid a 4th Gen V6?

    I love my 2006 Sport Edition V6 with 150K miles, but if I had the chance to do it again I would have gone for the V8. I just wish I had more ooomf. I don't put too many highway miles on her so gas mileage is not that important, especially right now with cheap gas. It is honestly the only thing...

    What do you guys think of this deal on this 4th Gen?

    Make sure to have the XREAS checked. Mine went bad at 120k miles. It aint cheap to fix and might be why someone traded this one in. Have the CV's checked at the same time. If you are planning on upgrading the suspension then not an issue, if however you are hoping to spend $17k and be done...

    Potentially buying my first car ever today. A used 4th Gen 4Runner. Help?!

    I agree with Paisano. You have to make the best purchase decision you can based on the inventory available and information provided by a seller. The more information the better. A one owner with all service records is ideal but not a guarantee. Most of the time you are buying a vehicle that...

    Potentially buying my first car ever today. A used 4th Gen 4Runner. Help?!

    Listen to Gatafly. This a completely reasonable request, if he says no to this kind of offer then something is wrong. My biggest mistake ever with buying a used vehicle was not getting a pre purchase inspection.

    So I have been looking for my first 4Runner and might have missed a beauty

    You don't have 1 day? It's like a 7 hour drive from VA Beach to NJ depending on where you are. You can fly down in the morning and drive back in 1 day. I have purchased 3 vehicles this way. I had the owner do a very thorough video walk through which you can do over skype. I had them take it...
