the PLATINUM warranty is well worth it. It's an extension of the bumper to bumper. I purchased mine for 795, 6 years 100K miles. I did it because I had the Limited with all the toys including air suspension. Not sure if this warranty is available to you since you purchased it used. This...

I think in the city, my V8 4runner was a bit better, but in the highway the MDX is a bit better. ALl in all, it's a wash with my V8 4runner. It's amazing how the public has this misconception that just because it's a crossover, it will have better mileage than a traditional SUV. Just not the...

Thanks Mac. How has your MDX treated you? I know it's a different generation, but have you been satisified with it's reliability?

Mazda? Lol, god no. Acura. I did look at the mazda cx9, but wasn't in the same league as the mdx as far as luxury or handling for that matter, AND, they were only around 5k apart.

Just wanted to thank you guys for being a great source of knowledge. I just purchased a 2008 MDX Sport yesterday for invoice and 2.9% APR. My decision to get rid of my rig was made for a couple of reasons. First of all, it was a lease and I was on pace to be over my miles by 12000 miles as...

An astonishing turn of events! I am getting an MDX!! I 'm ok with not having the same low end torque, and love the rest. The ONLY reason I am not keeping my runner is the terrible seats for me since I am tall. The lack of thigh support is a real pain in the arse, and I REFUSE to make huge...

I'm looking at the Michelins LX AT2, but they are only available with white lettering. I was wondering if any Limited owners with teh 18inch wheels have tires with white lettering. If so, please post pics so I can see how it looks.

Aint that the truth. This is a time where many people live beyond their means, just look at home foreclosure rates!

i'm not doing any rock crawling in Jersey, so I'm not too worried about that. Lots of things are $$$ when they break on these rides. More technology on them than the air bags, thats for sure. I read somewhere on these boards that someone needed to get a YAW sensor replaced, and they were out...

No way man, I love the air suspension. Nothing worse than seeing trucks out there with full of passengers or towing and the rear sagging. I have a 100K platinum warranty, and down the road if it does break, than I will consider ripping it out.

According to Toyota, the air suspension can raise the rear by 1.5 inches. Now on these boards, someone mention that the lift gives you the equivalent of a 3 inch lift. Now the chances are, this is an enormously stupid question, but when someone says a 3 inch lift, does that me an 1.5 on each...

great question, don't know. I'd like to think that the 5th gen 4runner has been in it's testing phase for at least a year now.

Now, if only they can make seats comfortable for people over 6ft tall, I would have the perfect vehicle. :dancin:

Excellent explanation. Well I would say the torsen video on toyota 4runner page is misleading then. It shows the diff actively sending more torque to the axle with more traction. Not that I am complaining, I find the traction of the 4runner to be amazing, espeically with full time 4wd. It's...
