I have not confirmed myself but my understanding is that the 16" wheels off the tacoma do not fit on the limiteds. They may with spacers.

"perfectly good" is a fine description, I didn't say it wasn't good - what I said was it wasn't AS good as other 4unners we've owned - I don't need to justify my selling it to myself, but apparently you guys thing I do. I listed my experiences with it and some people took offense while insisting...

Harper, I'm assuming you're not talking about me here, but It was very easy for me to see when I placed an 07 next to a 2011 where the quality was lacking, or rather than say lacking, was not the same. Saying it was lacking may not be fair because the quality is still better than most. The...

It is what it is... 1engineer can have his opinion he just doesn't want anyone else to have theirs. It insults him that I've had 30 cars in 10 years - who cares, nevermind that a significant number of them have been toyotas and a significant number of those have been 4runners. In fact the only...

Be sure not to actually SAY that grizzld, someone might call you a liar or tell you how you don't know what you're doing or you must be hauling an anvil.... I would wager my gas results are more typical than most are willing to admit, especially on limited 4wd models.

You have some chip on your shoulder over this don't you? Of the 4runners we've owned only ONE of them was a v8, obviously all the GX's were V8s, the LX450 obviously an I6, and the LX/LCs v8s - what's your problem here? That you have to be right? You're trying to prove a point that you think the...

Well, 20 vehicles isn't that hard to add up when you have 3 at a time - but to be fair the vehicles that see the high mileage are *MY* cars, not my wife's because I drive a ton for work - so right now that's the Lexus GS430 and the Supra if I know I'm going to have clients with me, I'll take the...

Ironically, when we were looking at this 5th gen there was a loaded up 2009 4th gen limited, v8, 4x4, they were asking just a few k less than the 5th gen and we were like "why would we buy the older model when we can get the new one for just a few k more" - we had had several 4th gens and wanted...

the GM of entire dealer chain is a friend of mine, he'd have let me keep it for a month if I wanted to - but the reality is even a weekend wouldn't be enough. I'm not going to abuse a new car that is not mine the way I would when I own it. It took me about 3 weeks to realize the 4runner was...

Yeah you can call it what you will, but limited AWD, even on the highway I rarely saw more than 17 on average, towing a light trailer it was down in the 9-10 range, and in the city we averaged consistently 14-15. We don't drive stop and go so much as much as lots of short trips, country hills...

Lol, while I sense the sarcasm, you'd think I punched a baby with some of the responses I got...

Lol, Well it puts down the torque and power to do it - not sure the suspension well suited for it though ;)

And proof I actually drive her, a few shots from my road trip from San Antonio, TX to Glacier National Park in Montana. my car @ the texas mile in October - I ran 201.7 200mph Supra - Texas Mile - October 2011 - YouTube Those pics are unfortunately about a year old now, but car looks mostly...

In every LC/LX we've had I take them out because I think it's silly - the LX570's are now POWER folding but still folding - it's silly for sure. However remember that's how the 3rd row was in the GX and the previous LC's. We have left them in the L200 so far but IMHO it takes up a lot of room...

lol it's a stock grey L200 with some sweet michelin SUV tires on it - I'll take a dirty pic of it when the wife gets home, the supra is far more interesting from a pictures perspective, but no it can't even climb a curb ;P
