Agreed, sounds like you're still in 4WD when taking some sharp turns inside a parking garage, which is a big no-no with the part time system that exists in the 5th Gen 4Runner, which is the "binding" that westwind mentions above.

How hard was it to return? Was the dealer difficult?

I don't know if these are in production yet.

1 and 2 are for a pull out tonneau cover, i've yet to see a 4Runner with one though Silver loop in 4 is for a cargo tie down hook, you can get a cargo net that lashes things down to the floor so that they don't fly around the cargo area

You should use the search function, as several people have discussed this topic already. I've personally had great experience with a XenonDepot kit, but that was in a 2003, not the new 2010's.

Edmunds shows no incentives (rebates or 3.9%) in the Seattle area...

Well since you're so well versed on the topic why bother asking?

There probably haven't been that many people that have regularly and seriously towed using their 5th Gen 4Runner's yet. That said, if you're consistently looking to tow 5K pounds or more, I'd look at a different car. Don't try to out think the engineers.

I think he's referring to the Optitron dash gauges, vs the SR5's orange

Dang you guys and your Magnetic Gray 2010's! Makes me want to go out and buy one right now!

I'd say you'd be happier with the Limited. You say you want the KDSS/Multi-terrain etc from the Trail, but keep in mind things like that wouldn't even be available on those larger suv's that you're looking at.

If you're going to add an HID kit to your current reflector housings, I'd go with XenonDepot. I used their 9006 kit on my 03 4Runner back when I bought it and it was great. Excellent components and easy to install. I often drove behind friends and they said they didn't notice any glare in...

:iagree: Yup, dealer today was trying to tell me how rock solid the 4Runner is because it's built on the Tacoma chassis....

Crawled around in one at the local dealer today. The pass through from the 2nd row on the passenger side is VERY narrow, and a bit tricky since the truck is a bit high off the ground. I'm about 6'0" 180 average/athletic build and I found it nearly impossible to get in and out without...

It's a Trail Edition, so it would be a V6
