Hey man, people need to get their 15 posts and it's in the New Members forum!

I just bought a 2017 SR5 Premium. From a 2008 Sport Limited V8. Pros and cons with both for sure!

Thirteen down, two to go!

I have a 2008 4WD 4.7L V8 Sport Limited, but it needs work. It has a broken piston rod and needs a new engine. So it needs someone who wants to put the sweat equity into it or who can wait for a used engine or remanufactured engine to become available (none available as of 12/30/21). I can't...

Very nice! We *just* bought one of these in California when our '08 conked out. It doesn't have the upgraded sound or moon roof, though. Pricing is spot on with what we paid.

Right now it's sitting at the dealership. We bought a new-to-us 2017 4wd Premium in a pretty color. But it's no V8 sport! Our options were to have them rebuild ($17-20K), find a remanufactured engine or a used engine. Those prices were more palatable, but there are no engines available that...

Over the past few days driving my new 2017 (previously had 2008), I have driven the rear wheel over curbs because it seems wider, figured out how to raise the seat up, because I felt like I wasn't seeing over the hood properly, and missed the pick up of my V8 :(

I just replaced my '08 V8 Sport Limited with a 2017 SR5 Premium 4WD. We don't do anything that necessitates a special trim, but this one has nice leather, and heated front seats. It has 58K miles on it and we paid $39K. Not sure if we got a good deal, but they wouldn't budge, and there was...

My dealer service told me that an individual shock could be replaced, but that, technically, the tubing for X-REAS was one time only use. They "recommend" replacing all 4 at the same time, and the tubing, and the system can only be pressurized (?) correctly by the equipment that Toyota service...

My 2008 V8 sport only made it to 148000 when a piston rod broke this year :( My 10 year old daughter was hoping that would be her car when she turned 16. I thought we could make that happen because we put so few miles on it!

I didn't have a car for a year before my 4runner since I worked at home. But prior to that, I had an old Infiniti QX4. It was nothing compared to the V8 Sport 4Runner!

It's been 8 years, and I just remember that in 2013 I bought a 2008 V8 Sport Limited for $30K. It has leather and towing, and I think that was the cost to me with a 7 year loan.

Wow! I had no idea about this! We haven't used our 4wd since moving from Colorado to California. We'll have to set a reminder to do this every 6 months from now on.
