Should be here with parts list and instructions. Just a moment...

I've had both a '16 Trail Premium w/ KDSS and a '23 Pro. The push button start, heated steering wheel, CarPlay, and 360 camera were definitely noticeable upgrades on the '23. I used them all the time. The lane departure warning and radar cruise were clearly shoehorned into an old platform and...

This. I can afford it, but it is really starting to feel like the cost benefit ratio is getting too high to justify driving this kind of vehicle. I'm probably going to miss having a vehicle that I can just rampage off road or camp in... but I have mountain bikes and I camped in a tent for...

They are probably getting their allocations early next month with delivery in the month following.

Employee orders don't line up perfectly with dealer orders. IMO, dealers will be prioritized over employees due to the big lull between 5th gen build out and 6th gen SOP.

Worse than getting a crossover, I'm getting an electric crossover. Long story short, my employer subsidizes my vehicles and they have a screaming deal on electric cars at the moment. Way lower operating costs and way cheaper than what I was paying for my 4Runner. Seems like the ideal time to...

This. I have owned/driven a number of turbo and hybrid vehicles over the years and the instant response from low end torque (provided by DI turbo or electric motor) makes for a much more pleasant daily driver. My experience is people that drive somewhat sane are mostly off boost when driving...

There are absolutely 6th gen 4Runners running around in the US right now. There have been versions for the launch, camo mules have been photographed, a dealer conference just had several, and the YouTube people have driven them (they have an embargo period before they are allowed to share...

RE: KDSS The '24 Land Cruiser has better flex numbers with the SDM than the GX550 with eKDSS. The 4Runner will offer SDM. My brother's 250 Land Cruiser has SDM and the road manners are light years ahead of either my '16 Trail w/ KDSS or my '23 Pro w/ Fox suspension. The new platform makes up...

The '25 Limited does not have this. That's a Pro and Trailhunter thing.

Good explanation and makes perfect sense. Thank you.

You've basically cut out the flare and the metal behind the flare. So this isn't something that could be done in the aftermarket or likely even possible at all given how the rear door mates to the chassis and makes up part of the rear fender. For the bumper... why not just borrow from the...

I rode in a bronco at the new york international auto show. It seemed to flex pretty well, especially once they hit the swaybar disconnect. Admittedly didn't have a 4Runner to compare against.

For fun, I went back and looked at the reveal thread of the refreshed 5th gen... oh my god that is ugly. That might be one of those restyles that needs time to grow on you because my initial thought is yikes, that looks messed up. Also, looks almost impossible to add an aftermarket bumper to...

I generally use my cargo area for 2 things beyond the "normal" configuration. 1) larger items that need the 2nd row folded and 2) car camping. For item 1, the tumble seat isn't ideal, but not nearly a deal breaker. If I need height, tumble the seats. If I need length, just fold the...
