    2014 MPG Question

    Mpg I get an average of 15.5 on my 2014 Trail; I lost around 2 mpg after I put my 285 BFG T/As; my driving is around 50/50 between street and highway; with the Bilstein leveling and those tires, the truck looks great and I could care less about the fuel economy. Marty

    Tire trade in

    I got $100 per tire last week from Discount Tire San Diego for my OEM tires on my 2014 Trail--- got 285 BFG ATs as replacement

    At least you got $350; my tires only had 300 miles so that may have made a difference. I am partial to black but I think all the colors looks pretty good. m

    Pix of recent mods to my 2014 Trail

    BTW, the guys are Discount Tire were great to deal with; I got $400 credit on the factory tires (shop around since one DT shop only wanted to give me $240) and they did a good job doing the oh so minor triming on the front fender plastic liner. So I can say definitively that the 285s fit no...

    First Mods to my 2014 Trail Scheduled

    Sorry for late reply Maz--Discount Tire does not have a set policy re trade in value of tires. The DT in Point Loma would only give me $60 per tire--I told him that the DT in Kearny Mesa area agreed to give me $100 per tire and he replied that every store is different and that it may mean that...

    These show bilstein 5100 leveling at top setting-- front is around 3/8 higher than rear-- also put on BFG 285/70/17--- perfect fit with no spacers and very minor trim on front plastic---I ordered Budbuilt sliders today-- should get them in a couple of weeks.

    Happy for you---raining here in SD and will be more of same Friday--I would give you ride from airport but my 4runner is getting the leveling done tomorrow--only 20 minute cab ride to dealer (depending on traffic) so no biggie--you might as well hit Vegas on the way home!! Congrats again. M

    V8 vs V6

    Good thread. In my view, and this is coming from a guys who's other car is a 66 427 vette, the 4runner has enough power for its intended purpose---would have been better if a manual were offered but the select shift gearing kinda accomplishes although not as much fun as clutch and shift. If I...

    First Mods to my 2014 Trail Scheduled

    I did not get the KDSS; ORW is doing the bilstein setup such that it will not affect the geometry of the vehicle; I think he mentioned doing something to the driveshaft or adding a component that prevents the geometry from being screwed up. I will post before and after pix for sure. I hate...

    First Mods to my 2014 Trail Scheduled

    Got my 4Runner last week and am bringing it to Off Road Warehouse (San Diego) to do a bilstein leveling on it. Discount Tire will give me a $100 credit per tire for my factory tires so I am going to upgrade to some Nittos or Bridgestone A/Ts--am shooting for 285s although I know I will need to...

    Deals on 13 trails?

    2013 v 2014 I spoke with Garret--he is in charge of fleet and also inventory--super nice, no BS, does not act like a regular car sales person. He was referred to me by one of my parters at work; no offense againt Mossy or Kearny Toyota at all but so much easier to deal with fleet sales and...

    Deals on 13 trails?

    2013 v 2014 Maz, I saw the 2013s at Frank Toyota that you noted in your post--I ended up going with the 2014 Trail (premium)--I was lucky to get the friends and family discount from the fleet guy--$38,200. At least in the SD area, I did not see much of a price difference from the 13 to 14...
