Definitely this! Also, Toyota has handled the chip shortage wayyyy better than GM has. Don't get me wrong, Toyota his been hit hard by the shortage, just as GM has. However, GM has been hit on a whole other level. In the end... shoddy craftsmanship and cost cutting at every turn in production...

Unfortunately that chip shortage is going to last through 2022 and into 2023 :*(

For the first time ever, Toyota has surpassed GM in vehicles sold in the US. GM has held that number 1 spot since 1931 when it passed up Ford. Major automotive moment!!

because your family 6 generations from now will inherit the car payment you started due to how steep the costs are for a new trd pro :scared:

While it wasn't the newest year cherokee, my sister had issues with it absolutely guzzling oil. She took it to the shop and they basically said, "tuff stuff".. She sold it not long after and never looked back. I wont ever get one because I hear nothing good about them

For individual salesmen(even dealerships), its not a pretty picture. And the markups are just a perfect storm of shitty situations that I wont get into. The estimated losses in sales are in the $100's of billions. I was more talking about the individual vehicles they do sale.

How else is Batman going to find them?! That gave me a chuckle picturing high beams just shooting into the sky

Man... Its wild out there. My job has me interacting with vehicle inventories and wow... those profit margins are PHAT. Whoever said vehicles aren't a good investment never saw this coming ;)

Always go to Discount tire with flats. Some of the most standup people around. If you get a bum employee, ask to speak with the manager or assistant manager and you will walk out feeling better about it all. I have nothing but respect for those guys

GLWS! That is the color that made me fall in love with 4runners. Still remember passing that exact color trd-pro on the highway and trying to hunt one down to no avail.

Usually not going over 110. Habit of mine to go places early as heck because I hate feeling rushed. I drive like a 90 year old ever since I switched from my old charger to a 4runner. Didn't buy it for speed

Looking good, I really dig the bigger tires on the limited! See you out in the traffic :cry:

Never would have thought I could sell a car for more than I bought it for... Whoever said cars aren't good investments?! ;)

Today I finally took out the plastic cover for my shifter. I managed to get some sticky substance in there and every time I shifted from park to anything, it would stick and bend the plastic. Bothered the everliving heck out of me for about 5 months... Finally had enough and got rid of it. My...

Man I am sorry to hear that. I had the EXACT same issue in relation to shaking bad while braking from 60-50 and if I drove at about ~65 mph I had pretty decent shake. I had some ridge grapplers. I got lucky however and the shaking subsided once I swapped out for new tires. From the sounds of it...
