    New Tires Recommendations Highway

    Ok I searched first but all the threads are heavily targeting aggressive off road tires, and that's fine. I have a 2015 Trail and I'm going to be using it for a lot of towing (boat 3500 lbs) long distance 2x per year (890 miles each way). My stock Dunlop's are already wearing out at 39K. One...

    Bushwacker made fenders for the 5th gen!!

    I guess I'll keep this thread going. Just bought a new used 2015 T4R Trail see below, silver. I'm thinking about some easy mods and I like the idea of the BW black fender flares to supplement my black AVS bug protector. Like my black dog I like black accents (as long as they are not overdone.)...

    tr5 trail vs Tacoma DC TRD Sport and present to me

    I don't remember much about my Camaro except it was blue, stock and had 327 and had a weird truck type of H transmission R/1st/2nd/3rd. I had to shift out of 1st by 10 mph, second was about 10 mph to about 50 or 60, then I could get rubber shifting into 3rd. No 4th or 5th. Someone told me they...

    tr5 trail vs Tacoma DC TRD Sport and present to me

    After a some what long internet forum search for a fathers day retirement present to my self I bought a 2015 Trail t4r silver as opposed to a 2016 3rd gen DC Tacoma TRD Sport. Thanks to folks on this forum I felt that slight price increase for the t4r was worth it. Primary use long and short...

    Underbody picture request

    I'm in central Mass about 10 miles from Acton Toyota. I had hear good things about them so I'm surprised to hear about your experience. But that may be just the sales department. I'm going to be shopping for a used tr4 2016 or 2015 (<35K miles). The prices are all over the place within 100...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    That is a great set up we are looking at doing something like that with a t4r. Did you add a transmission cooler?

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    That's what I thought from sea level to 7000 ft that's a lot. The roads out here in New England are bad but not that bad mostly narrow. When we go to Vermont from sea level Massachusetts we are really only going up about 1500 to 2000 ft. I've got one bad climb for about 10 miles but that's about...

    5th gen used pricing strangeness

    yup I agree. What I was trying to point out is that if you are at the peak of your budget they you have to hold to it which I will. the statement was made in this thread that you cannot buy a decent low mileage used 2015 t4 for 30K. your statistics prove otherwise. I have 30k to spend if...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    If you want another opinion on Toyota Tow ratings look at what they publish in the UK. I did some research on the 2014 Rav4. The US Toyota rating is 1500 lbs (thats a 4 cyl about 180 HP engine). In the UK for the same vehicle they rate it about 1600 lbs for towing a trailer with no brakes and...

    5th gen used pricing strangeness

    in my area the 16s used with less than 30K miles are more like 32K to 35K and up depending on the model and miles. thx

    5th gen used pricing strangeness

    Arugment for Used I guess I'm going to resurrect this thread a year later. in the spring/summer of 2018 I'm going to look at buying a used t4r. I do not intend on doing any heavy off-roading so a SR5 may be fine but I like the way the Trail or TRD off road looks. My target years are lower...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    seriously? that trailer only weighs 2500 lbs. What about all the camping gear etc.? Are the CA freeways as bad as the east coast freeways?

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    Good info thanks, sounds like if I add a tranny cooler to the t4r to tow a boat and trailer between 3000 to 4500 lbs (at the very most) for a 2x a year (NC to VT, 890 each way generally flat except the last 40 mile stretch in VT) I should be ok. Damn I wanted the TRD Sport Tacoma wifie wants the...
