Haven't tried this so I don't know if it can work....but they are relatively cheap. Center caps on Tacoma

I don't think you can fairly compare the built-in nav to Google maps. The amount of information in a built-in nav sys database is limited in comparison to a cloud computing or multi-server based nav system like Google maps. Google will leverage multiple resources for navigation, while the...

My old man drives a TRD FJ with NFAB rock rails, and my bro drives a Wrangler with Shrockworks rock rails. I like both companies, but I just didn't want to wait 2 months for Shrockworks last year. That's why I bought the NFAB ones. No, these don't extend as far out as the Shrockworks...

I can post more pics after work. Do you need to see how much clearance it has with the road/ground?

Got mine for around $300 bucks, but currently listing price on 4wheelonline.com is $379 w/ free shipping. They have similar construction to the NFAB rock rails for the FJ TRD package. Link to 4wheelonline.com's NFAB prices

For those of you wondering how the NFAB rock rails (P/N T104RKR4R) look up close on a TE, here are some pics of them on my TE: Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3

The 3rd row seat is actually part of the price in the links, which gives a good baseline to the prices you are quoting. But then I live in the DC/Bmore area where finding a good deal and Toyota inventories aren't too bad. I remember my sticker price last year was around $39K, and I walked...

In the Baltimore area: Out the door price is $33.6K w/o leather 3rd row. New 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 For Sale near Baltimore, MD JTEBU5JR8B5060889 New 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 For Sale near Baltimore, MD JTEBU5JR9B5059640

I paid about $36K for a mag. gray TE. So your price seems kind of high for an SR5. Target price should be around $32-$34K.

I drive my dad's '09 Outback all the time when in Bmore, but for your needs it could be cramped inside. With 5 adults riding, it's really tight and pushing the levels of comfort. With a car seat and 4 adults, it's doable. The back is spacious and has reclining back seats. Not quite sure how...

Fishpilot brings a good point about test driving the trucks. When I first test drove the 5th gen. 4runner, I didn't like the ride and how it handled those Bmore pot holes. This was an SR5. One month later, I test drove the TE and it was completely different. Another option not mentioned is...

Of all the cars you've listed, I would easily chose a 4runner for your needs, especially the Trail Edition. Though I'm partial to my own TE, the 4runner will be more versatile and can easily accommodate to your needs --- i.e your business and a growing family. As a woman, I highly recommend...

I got NFAB rock rails from a FL dealer last year, and they were quicker and cheaper than NFAB. I was looking at a 2 month lead time and paying $100 in just shipping alone. Boooo.... If anything, just call your credit card company tomorrow and reverse the charge because you haven't received...
