I think I'll be happy with Galactic Gray or Shadow Mica, with Galactic Gray being easier to keep looking sharp. But does anyone know for sure about new colors becoming available during a production year, or are the colors set in stone for each year?

I'm getting closer to ordering a 2006 V6 Sport. I've gone through all the options and combinations, and now it's time to choose a color. Unfortunately, the color I like best (Nautical Blue Metallic) is unavailable on the Sport. Does Toyota ever change color availability in the middle of a...

Border411, I am planning on ordering a T4R this month, and I could use some help. How can I find out what true dealer invoice is for the vehicle I am ordering? I have gone to several sites (Cars Direct.com, edmunds.com, etc.) that say they reveal invoice price, but how acurate are these sites...

ooja3k, biglatka is right, I wouldn't drive it in this mode on dry pavement. I used to own a 4WD Toyota extended-cab pickup and it would do the same thing on dry pavement when the hubs were locked in and 4Hi or 4Lo was selected. Think of it like this: when you make a turn, one wheel needs to...

0% financing for March Well, Toyota has announced incentives for March in the Gulf Region. Overall the package is better than before. Still $1500 cash back, or 2.9% financing for 48 or 60 months. But Toyota has added 0% financing for 36 months!! It's not quite "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" but at...

I'm talking to a dealer in the Gulf Region, going through all the option combinations, but we haven't talked price yet. I'm planning on finding a V6 Sport coming into the port with close to what I need, then adding accessories at the port or the dealership. They won't give me squat for my...

Well, it looks like I will be into March before I take delivery of a new 2006 Sport V6. What does the T4R brain trust predict the March incentives from Toyota will be? I live in the Gulf States region, so I'm primarily interested in how incentives work here (my understanding is that they vary...

I'm getting ready to order a new Sport V6 and the dealership is telling me that the side curtain airbags are not available with the leather upgrade. Does this make sense? I sure would like to have the protection, as the only other new vehicle I've owned was a Toyota truck that I took great...

I interested in finding out what the configuration would be like if the port or dealer added them to a new vehicle. I'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer since I don't have a garage or a place for many tools. The option is listed at $399 (I forget if that is invoice or MSRP) so I need to make a...

Well, I'm getting another day closer to ordering a 2006 Sport V6, and it's time for another question. Does anyone know if I get the "side signal mirror upgrade" will the mirrors still be color matched to the vehicle, or will they be black or something like that? Also, will they still be...

I didn't realize it was configured so that it can fit flat on the cargo area. I was thinking I would have to take it out and store it somewhere to haul oversize cargo. Thanks for the helpful info, Baba Booey. Anyone else have an opinion?

I'm still going through all the option combinations available on the Sport V6. Looking at the double-decker cargo system, my first impression is that I don't want it. I can see it getting in the way more than helping out. Those of you that have it, what do you think? Are you glad you got it...

Thanks for the replies. A loan with no prepayment penalties makes me feel a lot better. But it sure would be nice to have a crystal ball and know for sure what kind of incentives (if any) Toyota will be offering in March. I drove a Sport V6 last week and know this is what I want (except I...

I'm new here but I've been lurking for a while as I get ready to purchase a new V6 Sport 4Runner. I have a bunch of questions, but let me start with this. Can anyone help me with how the inventive programs usually work from Toyota. Here in Houston the current incentive (until 28 February...
