Wow...that sucks. The thing I love about the new 4Runner is that they went back to the lever. I'm waiting and hoping that a new Tacoma with the lever would be released.

Wow...I haven't been on the forum for a while and just came back today and saw this. I never knew Mike but loved reading his posts here and the info he gave too. RIP.

Hmm...according to this: Toyota: What's New for 2012 The 2012 4Runner will have power retractable running boards.

Can't remember how the 4Runner is but on my previous car, the shifter height was perfect for me to hold the shifter and have my elbow on the armrest. I had a Mazdaspeed short throw shifter (so it was stock height but shorter throw) and my friend with the same car got a different short shifter...

I find that a lot of peopl in the Vancouver area are unloading their 4Runners. Must be the gas prices. Like I said earlier, unfortunately for me, I want a 5spd and they are still hard to come by. Just pay BCAA the $100 or whatever it is and if they say it's good, jump on it. That's a great...

That's a damn good price for a 2000. I live in Vancouver and frequently check Craigslist and they average around $12000 here even with 200,000kms. Of course, I'm looking for a 5spd so my choices are very limited. I do know a friend who is a mechanic and he has a 1998 4Runner that has under...

Oh man...I left foot brake. I have a feeling the BA would kick on constantly for me because I can press the brake sooner and it'll probably keep thinking I'm doing a panic stop. Oh well. I sat in 2011 4Runner TE yesterday. Didn't take it for a test drive, but it was very nice. It's also the...

Cool. Why couldn't Toyota just make it the same here?!? haha. Anyways, does yours have AWD capability? I think all the 3rd gen Hilux Surf diesel's use push button 4WD like yours but it have AWD capability like the Limited's here?

Thanks for the response. On my Rav4, putting the baby seat in the middle looks very unstable cause there is a slight hump in the middle seat and the seat will slide left and right. The 4Runner's seems a bit more flat there. We'll see what happens and whether we'll go with a 4Runner or keep...

Just wondering, so the 4Runner has Latch anchor points on the two 2nd row outboard seats and also another set of anchor points for the middle seat too meaning there are 3 sets of anchor points for the 2nd row? Or is it just two sets but the two middle ones are close enough to the center so you...

Congrats on your Surf! Looks really nice. So envious of you. One of the things I hated about Canadian 4Runners were the exterior/interior combinations that we were offered. Only two colours came with the non-biege interior. I love the color combinations on your Surf. I read in a review...

What I find interesting is that it has a hood scoop. I thought only Highlander and Sport editions had those. The outside looks like one of those ones, but those only came in 4WD I think. The inside looks like an SR5 2WD with leather.

For me, I'd rather have a base model 2009 Hilux over the top model 2009 Tacoma, but that's just me. I really like the manual transmission with the manual 4WD shift lever over the electronic dial on the dash. However, I wouldn't pay that price for it though. Wonder why the auction was pulled...

Happened to my really old Prelude. The car would drive, but it would not change gears. It was like a single speed transmission. It had to be rebuilt. I guess you can get it in Reverse no problem? If you are lucky, and I mean really lucky, could it be your shift linkage is loose/worn so even...

Hey Syer16, did you ever notice your TOYOTA is upside down on the front grille?
