I had the weather techs and my foot wore a hole in them in one year of driving. :( Went to Costco and bought whatever they sell and they still look good after years of use.

Thai Checkout my new signature, I upgraded my SL500 to a new SL550, wow different car altogether. way more power, second generation ABC suspension and they tightened the steering. It now does 0-60 in 4.9 seconds which is fast enough :D

Go to tirerack and compare the tires in the size you are looking at. They have charts that rate the tires in each catagory.

He did not say liners he said mats. If you are going for liners I would go with Husky.

Go to Costco and buy the ones they carry, cheaper and better. Weather tech are too soft and wearout fast.

Current vehicles - 2007 T4R V8 AWD Limited (white), - 2003 Mercedes SL500 (Black) Previous- All Porsche models, Lexus, LX470, SC400, SC430, LS400, ES300. Acura NSX, Toyota Landcruiser 95 and 99. and the list could go on for a long time but I am tired of typing.

Isn't it the same frame and same engines and suspensions? Don't they weigh about the same? I know they changed some trim and the V8 is now VTTi but it is basically the same vehicle???

I had a 2004 V8 AWD SE and it got avg. 17 mpg city and around 19-20 on the highway (calculated by hand, not the car computer). My 2007 V8 AWD limited with around 8K miles gets 14 1/2 to 15 mpg and that is combined city and highway. I burned regular in the 2004 and im also burning regular in...

So early changers are doing a disservice to their engine

first change at 5K miles second at 8K and put in Mobil 1, will run Mobil 1 from now on at 5K interval. Engine should last forever.

Cross terrains are great tires designed for the 4runner. They are severe snow rated and will do better then any AT tire on the road and in the snow Ice. That is what they are designed for. I got 60K miles off my first set on my 2004 SE V8 sport with good thread left when I bought a new set...

If it is all we can do to take care of it is clean it with woolite deluted with water and then treat it with a good UV protector. Does anyone know if it is Semi-aniline leather???

Had a 2004 SE V8 AWD but the wife got it in the you know what :). I just bought a 2007 Limited V8 AWD as my beater so I don't have to drive the SL500 in the snow. Hard to beat the 4runner and it is a dependable low profile ride.

Thanks Thai

It is a 2003, I'm a poor retired guy so I got a low mileage 2003 with the 3 year 100K CPO extended warranty. It would be great if you could change me back to Pitbull. Thanks
