have you driven one of those? they're terrifyingly slow. Huge pucker factor when pulling out into traffic from parking lots or merging at highway speeds. Also, no chance whatsoever of passing anyone that isn't stopped.
the V6 is great, though
I was coming from an out-of-warranty BMW X3, so that was top of my list as well, lol. It never stranded me anywhere but it did go into "limp home" mode a few times
I also thought the Chevy would drop in value more than the 4R, and if there is one thing I know about from owning a BMW it is...
I found the diesel to be painfully, terrifyingly slow. I was driving it around in town and then took it out on a highway and it has some significant pucker factor when pulling out of a driveway into traffic or merging on the highway. ZERO acceleration, even the 5th gen 4R stomps it and it isn't...
I was torn between the '18 ZR2 Colorado with the V6 and the '18 TRDORP 4R and in the end it came down to cup holders (well, sort of). The Colorado is really tight considering how big it is. The cup holders in the door are maybe big enough for an 8oz redbull can and there is very little interior...
I had a '12 X3 with the turbo 6 in it prior to my '18 4R and it was STUPID quick (for an SUV) and way to easy to not be paying attention to what you're doing and look down to see you're doing 100+ But it also had a tendency to eat water pumps and had some interesting electrical issues, and...
lol, there is *NO WAY* my wife would ever give up her '13 135is for a 4runner. Talk about apples to oranges! Hers even has the JB4 which really turns it into a beast.
yeah, parking sensors would be nice, too. I forgot about those. At least it has a camera that is like "hey man you're gonna hit...
I traded a '12 X3 xdrive35i M-Sport for my '18 TRD Off Road Premium about a month and 1000 miles ago and so far there are only a few things I miss from the X3
- speed
- auto, dual zone climate control
- memory seats/mirrors
- the seats themselves (BMW nailed it with the X3, so comfortable!)
-...
you could maybe try something like idye poly and see if you could just re-dye the whole bottom cover of the seat? You can find the idye poly at places like JoAnn fabrics or Michaels or even online here: https://www.dharmatrading.com/dyes/idye-for-natural-and-poly-fabrics.html
