Thats why I posted the thread. I used to Love toyotas. And my Frontier. But the 4runner was sub par on many levels. Most of it based on my disappointment because i didnt see the problems during the test drive and research. I just had too much faith in Toyota and figured I couldnt go wrong...

Dome light in the second row as well as the dome light in the bed of the truck work GREAT! and guess what? you can control both while sitting in the driver seat.

Some more for those of you on the fence... Thing rocks. More 2nd row room. Same MPG. 100 more HP and 420 lbs of torque.

Was trade my 2011 SR5 for this (2011 FX4 F150): The SR5 was a big disappointment. The interior felt cheap with all that plastic. Horrible stock radio. Brake sway felt like you were doing an endo on a bike. No driver controlled 2nd row dome light. No 3rd row dome light at all. And the...

Good points about stock. I really wasnt happy with the frontier because we needed more room and the same engine/sag etc for that vehicle as well. I guess as some have said that a V8 full size is probably the best way to go. I modded up the Frontier pretty good with new suspension PRG Products...

Sure. The camper is a 2009 Fleetwood Popup. We LOVE IT. Leaps and bounds above ground tent camping and the camper can go ANYWHERE the car can go. It actually has more clearance than the 4runner. If I had to do it over again, I would have purchased a used older popup and put the money into a...

I have had my ups and downs with this car since we purchased it. I know that I will get a ton of grief for posting this review on a 4runner lover forum to those that don’t take criticism to the vehicle very well. But…. My motivation is that those that are looking at this vehicle get an honest...

This is a 4runner forum so most will tell you to get the 4runner. I will not. I would get the Xterra. I had a Frontier and I liked it leaps and bounds over our 2011 4runner. Problems with 4runner: -Storage -Sway -Rear Sag when Towing -AC needs to blast to get cool. (living in AZ) -No Driver...

Here it is.....

NO. but if your concerned about it, just measure the oil taken out and put in that same amount of clean/new oil. If the tilt causes any residual oil its VERY minimal.

Oil changed yest. Orielly Auto had Mobil One for under $5. Oil change was a breeze. Took about 20 min. You dont even have to buy that special wrench. Just used a big pipe wrench. Worked fine.

1/2 inch lean here. 1/2 tank of gas.

yup. I welded blocks to lift it 2 more inches. Just waiting on a good deal on 5x4.5 rims to get bigger tires on there.

Love it! Heres ours. 4runner pulls it with ease all over. Heading to grand canyon in a couple weeks...
