Silverstar ZXE Gold is probably the whitest halogen bulb. I have the previous “whitest” halogens the Silverstar ZXE (not gold). Pretty white but not close to HIDs. Prior I had Silverstar Ultra. Briter than the ZXE but not as white. I’ll try the golds when mine burn out. In any event, premium...

Nah. Dont bother. No one gives a shit about you. Go away

Had 285 Es. I think they were KOs not KO2s but I'm not certain. Rubber turned hard as rock at about 32,000 miles. No scary moments on turns but accelerating from a dead stop, very slight incline with even the slightest moisture on the pavement usually resulted in wheel spin. Pretty...

Didn't really want one but the Trail came with it. Never used it any cars I've own but in the Runner, it is really nice to open the top and the back window on a nice day. Best use for me is when I'm not sure if I have enough clearance on top. Open the sunroof and check or just drive with my...

Confirmed!

True but wtf. It's my money. AFE dry owner. Makes a little noise when you step on it. Makes me happy. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

2010 Trail in Hawaii. Hot and humid. Worst of the "zones". Been waiting over 1 year now. Told it will be June or July 2017 for replacement. Refuse to give a loaner. Said sue us if anyone gets hurt.

Just do it! Cannot quantify improvement in sound quality but it's there (if you care) and you'd have to do a before and after test to really know. Biggest improvement to me is in cabin sound reduction and killing the tin can sound when closing the doors. Priceless. For that matter, look for...

No I did not. I did lose 40 lbs+ and no longer have trouble lifting my butt into the drivers seat. Wife still complains but I really did not want to add the Powersteps anyway.

Mines just grinded like there's gravel in the track (from day 1). I'm the only driver so not that big a deal. Never got it looked at. Don't think it's any worse after 6 years.

Yup. Common complaint. I have a 2010 Trail. Black interior. Looked bad after one week. Was a little upset but let it go. 6 years later, not much worse and I don't give it a second thought. It helps if you lift your butt when getting out but I don't even bother doing that.

Aftermarket camera will be much better and cheaper. Just note that ours are 6 volt. Some 12 volt cameras do work.

Yup. Thats correct. They only used a Trail for fitment. Brilliant. The rarest model. And then they complain about low sales. Dealer here in hawaii said the only way to get power steps after the fact is thru the parts dept. I checked. The parts were about $4000 and the list was still not complete.
