Have been considering this as it seems the quality of the image is directly related to lighting conditions (maybe a poor ISO spec). When you ordered the hitch pod, did you get the extension cable or did it reach w/o it? Thanks

When backing into our driveway at night, I've found that turning the headlights off improves the image quality. The screen is dimmed when the lights are on, with them off it switches back to daytime brightness/contrast settings. It's still poor, but better than w/ the headlights on.

deafboy, sorry for the thread drift, but what Molle panel do you have installed on the ceiling? That looks great.

Looking for the same. Interesting options listed in the thread but some negative reviews for each. We "Canvasback'ed" our rear cargo area and really like their products. They also make a 'universal' slip cover for front seats, but at $70 per seat, I'd like to see more reviews before pulling...

This should be a bumper sticker. We always buy black vehicles.

I wouldn't think an extended warranty and expedited shipping would be something to criticize, regardless of duration. Hope the offer stands as we're still waiting on our 4R and may want to add this (before the sale ends).

This was my goal, but since they were being listed for more than new, we decided we could wait...

This is a good list of comps and I think a fair point overall. All of these have better tech and arguably a higher level of fit and finish initially. 2 of these we shopped (Jeep/Ford), and for me it came back to style (subjective) and reliability (well documented). Based on the experience of...

Well, to be fair it's only the other 95% of shoppers (at least for 2021). 2021 US Midsize SUV Sales Figures By Model | GCBC

Based on forum traffic, I'd agree with this assessment (although I like the Limited just fine). But to validate, has anyone seen Toyota publish sales based on a model's trim level? Imagine any recent figures could be skewed a bit by supply chain logistics as many manufacturers are allocating...

Mark4runnar, thanks for the details. I'm of the same mindset as you - not looking for the first production year of a next gen model. I'm sure the 6th gen will have some benefits, but I prefer the security in a well vetted platform.

Our society seems to suffer from short term memory loss relative to energy prices. It really wasn't that long ago that the price at the pump was at or above where it is today. Like before, it will eventually retreat - and then go back up - and then down... Energy prices fluctuate, it isn't a...

Great looking truck. Assuming you purchased in the Northeast, mind me asking which dealership you went through and how was your experience/wait time?

I'd say that looks pretty good for having lived through a decade of Northeast winters. And while maybe the PO wasn't overly obsessive about washing the salt off, I'd wager they didn't simply ignore it or that under carriage would look a lot worse. Much of what's shown in your pictures appears...

I had this exact same question, for the very same reasons. I asked friends of ours who own and run a small gas station/market/auto repair facility (4 pumps) in the Northeast. Their answer was that they take fuel deliveries at least 2X a week, sometimes 3. I've seen this place, and it doesn't...
