I just sold my 2nd Bronco this last weekend. They really are great vehicles that Ford did a good job with. I've got two college kids that need summer cars and I wanted to get out of the large debt associated with a $50k Bronco. Back here looking at options for $20k used 4Runners or Tacoma's...

I have a 2014 SR5 with 124,000 miles. In the last 300 miles or so, I've noticed a rattle sound that appears to be coming from the center counsel area. I figured it was loose change and didn't think much of it. We are leaving tonight on a road trip and I figured I'd get rid of the rattle...

I did my first oil change about a month ago. I had bought the cheapest housing removal tool with decent ratings. The plastic housing was on so tight, I actually broke the tool. I then ordered the motive X removal tool and put the 27mm socket on the impact wrench to take it off. I didn't...

+1 on this question. Just picked up a "new to me" 2014 over the weekend and have a Skybox 18. I don't like the looks of the Thule/Yakima options.

I did go out of my way to stop at the dealer with '06 Limited. At first they didn't want to show it to me because they were detailing it. But after threatening to walk and not come back they let me see it. It was way trashed for only having 75,000 miles. Both front seats had worn through...

Unfortunately, I've got a lease that runs out in the middle of October. So, I've got a bit of a deadline. Honestly thought it would be easier to find one in good condition than it appears to be. Unfortunately, my theory is that most of the people that are willing to keep vehicles in good...

How much above KBB for clean condition and low miles All - I've been searching for about 2 months and haven't come across a truck that I'm willing to pull the trigger on yet. This will be my first 4Runner. My goal is to find something in the $10k-$12k range with about 120k-140k miles. I'd...

This is an interesting thread for me. I've just come off of 17 years working at Ford and driving nothing but Ford's. I'm excited when my Ford Escape lease ends later this summer and I can buy anything I want. Everyday I change my mind on which direction I want to go, but continually come back...

All - I know this is an old post but I think it is applicable. I'm considering buying a Limited in the range of 2015-New. I'm struggling to find the details of any options that may have been added or upgraded on the LE during that time period. I don't want to buy used and then realize that...

Please post how this works out. I'm also a new member getting ready to start shopping in SE MI.
