Glad you enjoyed the Pedalin Pig. It's by far the best BBQ in the area and the portions are generous. We could definitely do a camping and white water adventure. I'm primarily in south Florida due to my job but I'm very fortunate my family still has their home in Banner Elk. If you have any...

I was born and raised in Banner Elk NC. There's some good trails on Beech Mountain. We used to call it the westbowl. Follow the Beech Mountain Parkway all the way up past Pinnacle Ridge. It's light off roading but lots of fun. If you want good BBQ the Pedalin pig is awesome. I'll be up after...

As much as the 4runner costs, it surprises me that Toyota would not offer those luxuries. I wonder if they are waiting for the new model?

The debate of boxed frame vs. open C has been going on for years. I thought that Toyota was moving to modular platform to include trucks. I figured we would see modular frame for all trucks and SUVs which are all boxed in other parts of the world. For some reason, the tundra and Tacoma use a C...

From the video it still looks like an open C frame. Can anyone advise?

Now you're talkin

No I agree. I was simply showing how the numbers can be deceiving. For some reason GM over exaggerates their numbers. Now that new 2.8 diesel from toyota would be a nice addition.

2015 Midsize Challenge: Acceleration - PickupTrucks.com News I know we all want more horsepower but take a look at some real numbers from pickuptrucks.com. The current tacoma used in the test is a TRD pro with much larger wheels, and a lift, etc. The tacoma weighed in 140 pounds lighter than...

I like it. I think the interior looks great. Thanks for the link.

This link has some better interior shots. It looks better and appears to have more soft touch materials. 2016 Toyota Fortuner interior and exterior leaks out

The 5th generation was already done before Akio took office. I think the 6th Gen is going to be much nicer as Toyota has really stepped up their game in regard to interior style and exterior style. I love the looks of the new camry. Akio is really pushing new styles...

No Toyota is not building another plant in Mexico. Akio halted the idea due to quality concerns and further review. http://www.autonews.com/article/20140916/OEM01/140919881/toyota-pauses-on-mexico-expansion-to-review-growth-strategy-report Also, Toyota has committed to BOF SUVs: Toyota...

Lilsid, If you are down this way let me know. We can go out on the skis. I will PM you my cell phone number. The SHO is an awesome ride. The new SVHO is even nicer. USMC, Ever try wolfgang? I have used their paint correction and sealants and I am very happy with the results.

Good looking truck bro. Where in Florida do you live? I am in Wellington. Just got a Yamaha GP1300 and I also have access to a Kawasaki Ultra 300. If you're in the area we could meet up sometime?

Well I am personal friends with Akio and he told me the 4Runner is living on with a 15 speed transmission and 500 HP diesel!! There! j/k Please do not you believe everything you read on the internet. For example, Ford was rumored to ditch the BOF f-150 in favor of an open C. Here is a link of...
