I think it looks good! Saw a 3rd gen with 5th gen wheels in traffic last week...think it was the first time Ive seen it in person, and thought it was sharp

If your truck is garage kept, and has covered only 800 miles in six months, I think we will all be dead and long eaten by worms before it gets enough UV exposure to have a problem. I wonder why it only extends to 2015...did they change something in the paint process that model year that makes...

The Venture is not available with Fox at all, but KDSS is an option on that trim level.

There’s not a snowballs chance that there will be a new engine/tranny for 2021. In fact, I would not expect to see any real changes to the ‘21s since an all new model is supposed to arrive in 2022. The biggest, maybe only, difference aside from the obvious cosmetics, is that the TRD Pro has the...

I’ll be the odd man here and say I don’t hate it. At a +/- premium of 2 grand over an ORP, it doesn’t seem as overpriced as the XP appearance package we get here in the southeast.

In my experience, the configurator isn't so much something that will show you what is possible as it is what is available on a lot somewhere. (For instance, when I try to select certain color combinations on the configurator, it will tell me "out of stock")

Whenever I have played with the configurator, it seems to only "configure" things that are sitting on a lot in my region. Certain colors or color combinations show up as "out of stock" if you try to choose them, or certain option selections limit the choice of color. The configurator, at least...

I had a couple of nasty chips on our Mercedes touched up by a place that specializes in that. (Sort of like a paintless dent repair place, but for scratches.) It's invisible now, and when we go to trade it, it wont have a repainted door. If it were me, Id have something like that done to your...

I believe that technically, bare floor is how it comes and either type of mat are an option.

Not ideal, but I keep two open topped duffle bag sized totes in my cargo area that have thin rubber strips along the bottom. I set small stuff inside those (groceries, packages, take out pizza) And have a couple of old canvas drop cloths stuffed into the wheel well bins that do the trick for...

I think the "formula" probably varies by state. In SC, it is the manufacturers choice whether to replace or buy back. I wanted a buy back, they actually gave me a replacement, which I drove directly to the Toyota dealership and traded for my 4Runner. (Well, not directly, I waited a week for the...

I have not, but just because of lack of time and lack of knowledge of where to go! Im with you, I want to utilize the 4WD without trashing the car kind of trail. haha!

I'm just down the road from you in Greenville! I'm in my 4R because of a similar situation with the BMW I had before this. In my experience, there is a formula they use to determine the value of the "lemon" (You've no doubt seen what that is in your research---original price of the car divided...

Best looking 5th gen is the pre-2014 Trail in silver

IN SC's defense, the sales tax is capped at $500 on car purchases.
