4Runner Force for the Gulf states.

4Runner TForce for the Gulf states.

This almost makes me want an upgrade. But I'll stick with what I have.

And the dang spell check changed the title name on me...... :redbrick:

Rock Rails are cool, but no locker on SR5 right?

 

[Jhalko]

I don't see how that is an upgrade, you have all that stuff on your truck already. Not to mention it's overpriced.

Probably to keep the mystique of the TRD Pro.

It's similar to a package deal that Southeast Toyota does with their XP model.

Yeah [MENTION=105481]3wbdriver[/MENTION],

I would take yours in 1/2 seconds over that contraption!

Are you sure you're not being insecure and fishing for compliments? "You're way prettier than her baby!" :tongue1:

BUSTED!!! Lol

Typical gulf states garbage. Just like their TSS editions of tacomas and tundras. Don't waste your money on non "real" Toyota factory editions.

4Runner XP

I've seen one or two of the XP ones around Atlanta. While they look kind of cool, it definitely all just seems like cosmetic stuff that's easy to replicate yourself (more functionally, too...).

I loved the TSS Tundra I drove before the 4Runner. I even still miss it on some days. It drove like a big burly sports car and got 18 mpg when I kept it under 75. I often wish they could use that 330hp 4.6L V8 and the 6 speed trans with 4.10 gears in the 4R.

For the $4995 package price, they didn't even upgrade the coilovers or rear shocks! :jaw:

Anyone know the mfg'r of the roof rack and rock rails? Just curious whose products they decided to use.

 

[mybabydaddy]

Funny... I just laugh because all I see are $$$ from the business aspect. They all got together and said, "customers are ordering all this stuff anyhow, we should profit from it and offer it before they go out and buy it." I hate to say it, but think Jeep. Jeep realized how popular 4x4s are right now and took advantage (and look how well those $50K Rubi's sell). I had hoped Toyota wasn't going to follow suit, but I can't blame them for doing so.

Looks like cheap dealer trash. Trail is the only way to go.

Gulf States Toyota stops by autozone to buy tape-on fender flares to wreck vehicles for you and charge you more

 

[jwkilgore]

So... for $5000 you get rock slides, fender flares (look like Bushwhacker?), a roof rack, custom wheels, decent AT tires, and blacked-out trim?

The price is probably similar to what you'd pay a dealer to install those items separately. Therefore way overpriced, but I'll bet they'll sell like crazy.

And to sell even more, they could throw on a $150 spacer lift kit.

the difference between a SR5 owner and a Pro owner isnt the amount of money they have.... its their ability to determine the worth of the crap they buy:sadwave:

The blacked out look is soooooooo tired and played out.

Gulf States Toyota

I'm in Central Texas and when I bought the new Tundra CrewMax Limited in 2007, I ordered and drove out to Las Cruces, NM to get it because I wanted all factory accessories. I can't remember details but I think the factory sunroof was a big deal to me. I'm pretty sure I saved a few grand.

Now that I'm in the market for a new 4Runner, I'm wondering if the situation has changed with Gulf States and the factory packages. Nine years ago, I remember that you got a different brochure from Toyota if you lived in the Gulf States region compared to other parts of the country.

I've not been keeping up to date but I'm really interested again. Thanks.
