    4Runner vs Pilot

    Also, there is no rear side curtain option for the Pilot. After learning that, we test drove the MDX but hated it. I know it is shares a platform with a minivan, but for 40K I would expect it not to drive like one. Yes, it has 260 horsepower, but in my opinion VTEC is not well suited for an SUV...

    Dealer sticker on tailgate

    I went back and looked more closely. It's not really a sticker. It is as if each letter has been individually glued on the tailgate. It obviously came from a pattern displaying the dealers name and location. Each letter of the name has the feel of pinstriping. Since it is not a true "sticker" I...

    Dealer sticker on tailgate

    What is the best way to get the dealer sticker off of the tailgate without screwing up the paint. The dealer is not paying me to advertise so I want it off.

    '04 Sport suspension comparison

    I can tell a big difference when I drive my SE compared to my father's 2000 explorer, my sister's Xterra, and my in-law's Tundra (I know it's a truck). I also test drove the MDX as well as the XC90 and even though the ride was a bit more stiff, I liked the SE better. I am not going to go nuts...

    4Runner vs Pilot

    Looked at Pilot until found out rear curtain not even an option. Went and looked at Acura MDX instead. We did not like it very much at all.

    '04 Sport suspension comparison

    We traded an Explorer for the 4Runner Sport Edition we have now. We could tell a huge difference between the two. The SR5 drove great also, but we liked the SE.

    Color Poll

    Since we were more interested in the options on the 4Runner, the color was pretty much secondary. We had decided what color(s) we would not take rather than the one we had to have. The main issue for us was getting a 4WD 4Runner with the side air bags and side curtains. While this combination...

    4Runner seating suggestion

    I am not trying to be a smart a_ _ but didn't you test drive it (and the seats) before you purchased it? My wife and I traded an Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer w/ leather and power seats on our new 4Runner (which has manual seats). It is sometimes a little frustrating to adjust the seats manually...

    tire pressure when towing

    Is it a good idea to increase rear tire pressure when towing a heavy load? In my case, I will be towing a fully loaded U-haul 6' x 12' trailer (1800 lbs empty). I have checked around on several web sites and only became confused. Most people were talking about tires which have a max pressure of...

    U-haul 6' x 12' trailer

    Thanks for your input. Yeah, I have already purchased the appropriate pin converter. I was pretty surprised that one did not come with the truck- not that it was expensive to buy myself. It's not the pulling that concerns me, it's the stopping. Could you tell when the surge brakes were...

    Anyone have experience pulling one of these trailers? Any trouble with the trailer braking system? Thanks

    Sport Edition with Side Curtain Airbags?

    My wife and I just purchased a sport with side curtain airbags. We happened to luck out and find it on a lot approximately 1 hour from where we live in Georgia.
