I picked up my new 2010 salsa red Trail Edition in January, and I love the truck. I spend every summer on the road out west, and I had the truck off-road a lot, and it performed beautifully except for the tires. Okay, seasoned off-roaders would say that I shouldn't expect much from those stock...

RE: New Member from Nor Cal Congratulations on your new TE. I have the identical truck, salsa red, and I am delighted with it. I picked it up in January. I live in Tennessee, but I spend every summer on the road out West. I had the new 4R off-road in the Sierra north of Donner Summit, in...

I just received my 2010 Trail ten days ago, and I researched it pretty thoroughly. Two especially helpful sites were the Four-Wheeler Magazine article about Toyota taking two 2010 Trail Editions on the Rubicon, and the Edmunds complete road test, which to my delight featured a Salsa Red Trail...

Tromp on the gas, get up and go. I had the same experience. I am being pretty gentle since my 2010 Trail is brand new (800 miles now), but I did tromp on the gas in passing on a steep uphill, and holy cow this truck took off like a bat outa hell, and would definitely leave my Isuzu Rodeo in...

Are you sure your not looking at a RAV-4 brochure? I have the 5th Generation brochure in front of me, and it clearly says 17/22/19. Where are you getting the 31 MPG. - Hikervince

Worth the wait! You are going to love it! I just took delivery of my 2010 Salsa Red Trail Edition ten days ago, and I couldn't be more pleased. I have had two Troopers and a Rodeo, and they have been great, but no more Isuzu. They dug their own grave when they discontinued the Trooper and...

I posted on the new members group, and someone told me about the 2010 group. I picked up my new 2010 Salsa Red Pearl Trail Edition a week and a half ago, and I love it. We had a snow/ice storm here last weekend (or, at least our Middle-Tennessee version of such), and the truck did great. I...

Thanks for all the kind replies I just wanted to thank everyone who responded with such warm welcomes. I've had a few 4Runner-owners stop in parking lots and say hello. It's obvious that owners are very faithful to their vehicles. Thanks to the member who pointed me to the 2010 group. I...

I am pleased to say that I just picked up my new 2010 Salsa Red Trail Edition yesterday. I have owned two Isuzu Troopers and most recently a 2002 Rodeo, and they served me well. Isuzu dug their own grave in North America when they discontinued the Rodeo and Trooper after that trumped up...
