Well, 3 years later and many temptations, but I still have the 2012. I jsut passed on a 2023 GX 470 with 2" icon lift. It was super nice, but I missed my old Trail.

what are you seeing them go for? Best I saw was $28k for a silver one.

Thank you! Out of curiosity, what specific Bilsteins and Dobbins did you get since I anticipate doing this if I keep my trail.

Thank you for all the replies. The newness factor is appealing and a few of the new tech will be helpful. Just trying to see the value proposition in terms of $$. While not a lot, I will be looking at some $$ in maintenance in the next few years and the trade in value/used car value may be...

how much of an upgrade with a new TRD Pro be vs. a 2012 Trail with KDSS and BFG A/T? Not counting the new car factor...

tail light long shot, but is the passenger side still available?

Harper, what does the clutch for the AC sound like? I'm convinced this noise is an engagement of sorts. Initially, I thought activation of the cylinder for KDSS, but I thought that would've been hydraulic, not electric. The sound I'm hearing really seems to be electric sounding, coming from...

You're absolutely right. I've never owned nor really driven any car with a lot of nanny features--I guess I'm a proud Luddite. Regardless, this was most definitely understeer, but given it's a TRUCK with RWD, I had no warning signs of exactly when the VSC or other gizmos would kick in. To put...

Yes, I am still running the OEM tires. They seemed fine until today!!!

Greetings! I'm a first time poster and first time owner of a 4runner or any other truck. I have a '12 Black TE that I've really enjoyed owning for the last 2 weeks. The hydraulic brake noise took some time getting used to, but other than that, the truck has been great. Couple of issues I...
