I'm conservative too, but that's a brilliant response. Props to you.

Yeah, see you don't need to patronize me and I did get a great deal on my TE, FWIW. But given the fact that you're apparently a disabled veteran and the good 'ole boy system that's still alive and well in the south, I can see how you might have gotten that deal. I'm sure you're a really big...

For the sake of argument, I'll pretend what you're saying is correct. Does this materially affect what you bought the vehicle for or do you just want something to ***** about? I mean, if it's going to spend 99% of its life in the mall parking lot, is this really a hill to die on?

Because you just don't get $6500 off on a 4R. I find your claim hard to believe as well considering most dealers won't even come off MSRP on the Pros, let alone discount them $8k+.

Why am I not surprised that the photo is accompanied by Spanish?

Or like half the other people here, he doesn't understand the proper meaning of "out the door". Maybe it's legit, maybe be it's not. I just have a hard time believing he walked out of that dealership with a 4R for almost $4k under MSRP *including tax, title and license*.

Yeah, I'm not buying that. Before TTL I could believe, but that seems a bit unbelievable....

Living in Florida? No, probably not.

Change your oil whenever you want to, but don't pretend you're making any sort of difference by changing it abnormally early.

Likewise. It ripples a bit. So what? I wouldn't dream of getting rid of the truck over it.

Why are people still terrified of showing their license plates online? This isn't Gone in 60 Seconds, no one is going to have their inside source in the DMV look up your address from your license plate from a picture that was posted online so they can steal your garden-variety 4-Runner. You...

Looks like a rental car, i.e. he doesn't care. I was on a pretty cratered out trail on Kauai last summer in our four door JK. Some guy in a convertible V6 Mustang thought he was going to follow us, but he didn't make it very far. People do dumb stuff when it's not their vehicle, which is why...

I've got awesome trails less than 30 minutes from my house here in Phoenix and I never have to wear anything heavier than a light jacket. I also don't have to worry about corrosion, salt, and some jackass plowing into the side of me because he was driving to fast for conditions. (No, I just...

What's your opinion of your TE vs the Trailhawk?

Generally speaking, the difference between AWD and 4WD is the presence of a center diff. AWD systems typically have them, bonafide 4WD systems usually don't.
