    Extended Warranty? 2015 4Runner limited

    Fully agree. No need. I've got a 13 and since mine expired I haven't even thought twice about it. Until now. And will quickly forget. Part of the reason I bought this thing in the first place. Spend that $ to pay it off if not done yet.

    When does the 4Runner get the 3.5 and crappy transmission that the Tacoma has?

    WTF? What's up your a#$ man? Take a breath, calm down, have a brewskie. Jesus H.

    KO2 no traction -Scary!

    Hmm - I've got a limited and run the Michelin LTX Defender (live in Seattle) and slipped in the rain the other day (back end kicked out a bit, was going 60 on a 35mph offramp that was curved) - probably the weight of the vehicle and driving habits? cs

    Would you buy again?

    Would not. Only because I've got two young kids (carseats) now. I'll be grabbing an Expedition or minivan (hahahahaa) or something of the like sometime in the future. God. A minivan. Ugh.

    Car washes and black 4Runners

    Consider not washing the car at all while at college - and hope and pray he doesn't aspire for a doctorate degree....................... or Use the car wash. It's a car.

    Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

    2013 here - was down to about 15.4 on my Limited. Dropped the 20's, put on 17's, also put on some Michelin Defender LTX's - up to 16mpg after about a month now.

    XREAS - looking for some opinions

    I've been really happy w/ the Xreas suspension in my limited, so, I'm wondering, when it goes (currently 50k), in your mind, what would be an equivalent non-Xreas replacement (in quality, ride comfort etc)? Cost and brand does not matter.

    2008 Sport V8 -> 2016/2017 Trail Premium?

    I'm counting on Trump (who i did not vote for) to repeal all of those laws and now Toyota can move forward with their coveted 12 cylinder 6th gen 4runner. Just wait for that rig - it's all but a guarantee now. Gonna be sweet hombre.

    2008 Sport V8 -> 2016/2017 Trail Premium?

    I'd keep your current rig until it hits double that mileage (or 200K for that matter). I'm not sure you'd actually be 'upgrading' anyway. Stay put. Or opt for a different vehicle altogether?

    Rumor of no 4Runner for 2018.

    If Toyota can't figure something out by then who cares - I'll go to a mfr who can. I'll go get one of these: 2016 Ford Ranger Not sold in the United States, this Ranger is available in 180 foreign markets and represents the idea of a modern truck to most of the world. Rumor has it this platform...

    Stretched Tires - Why!?!?

    This above image looks correct. The other....well....as long as it's not forced upon me I guess I don't really care how stupid it looks. I wonder how well it performs........

    Wow, who knew this ....

    Wow. Nice post/link - thanks for the info. Urrrrrr - after reading on this is apparently bogus? Probably. The original claim seemed too outlandish.

    The $1000 JBL upgrade on my 2013 limited

    Just might be the biggest waste of 1K in my long illustrious history of wasting money (absolute horrible value for the $). My 4runner is almost paid off and I've decided that once it is my first real and likely only upgrade is going to be the stereo system. Yeah, I could fool myself and get all...
