Ok, here it is. They came in 2 separate zip lock bags. 2 tie downs per bag, they were in the glove box. First time adding a photo, hopefully I didn't screw it up.

Yep, then mine came with them. I'll post a picture later today or tomorrow. I just got my TE, I still have the temporary tags....

If you go with Costco, it's typically 250 - 400 over invoice. I went to one dealer who knocked of 1,700 off the price. Then he added back in with the cost of them keeping the vehicle on the lot, insurance on it, and various other bs costs to have the car on the lot. FYI - don't go to Michaels...

I just bought my 2012 TE about a week and a half ago. They came with mine. You are talking about the 4 plastic hook tie downs right? They came in a plastic bag in my glove box.

I agree the navigation is sub par in the 4runner. Here is an odd question. How do I cancel our route? I put in my destination and then later decide I don't want to go. I can't seem to cancel it and it just continually reroutes my route. I'll have to open up the book I guess, because I can't...

Has anyone been out there? Seems like it would be a worthwhile trip

The squish is normal. I have a new 2012 TE and it "squishes" when I press on the breaks. I did a bunch of research on this forum and a few people had technical details on why it does it, but it's normal. I like to think of it as knowing when I have my foot on the breaks. As for rough idling...

Horrible Tire, that's classic. I wonder if I could complain and get mud and snow tires put on. Somehow I doubt it, but you never know.

27 inches from what I recall

I have stock tires on. I didn't really have any problems. I could definitely tell their was some spinning going on, but had no issues at all. What is interesting is that the Toyota website says the Trail Edition comes with mud and snow tires. Now, the dueler ht/t which came as stock appear...

I just purchased my 2012 TE. Love it by the way. I have navigation and entune. I see the point of navigation, but what again is the point of entune? My phone already has the apps, now I can see them on my screen???? Do i really need to check stock prices on my car screen while driving? Why...

I'd be up for something easy. I just picked up my 2012 TE. I had it out the coast on a few sand dunes the other day. I don't even have my plates yet, so nothing to serious!

Thanks for the help everyone. I am going to go with the ramp. On a side note, i have decided to start a dog ramp biz. At 200 bucks a pop I can make a killing on these. Maybe for 350, you can personalize it with your dogs name, maybe your favorite football team or hey maybe even your car...

Is that a random picture you found or is that yours? I'd actually like that, as it appears to fold in half for easy storage. Most of these dog ramps are huge and take up a boat load of space. That, looks simple and easy. The dog is getting old and I'll probably need one in a year or so. Her...

Just picked up my 2012 trail edition in the metallic grey. Loving in. The only issue I have at the moment is my dog has trouble jumping in the back. Not so much the height. The issue is the back bumper is plastic, so when she jumps on it she slides around. Does anyone know if they sell like...
