(sigh) Now, if only we could get you to come camping with us this weekend.

THAT would be spectacular.

Knob actuated 4WD- My '12 had the lever actuated 4WD. It was cool and retro but it still just manually actuated the ADD, which in turn uses a solenoid to actually shift the transfer case. Now I have an rotary actuated electrical switch to actuate the ADD. No biggie.

The new car smell and fancy headlight cutoff must be clouding your judgement. Your old truck had no solenoid inside of the transfer case, but your new one does. It was a real shift lever directly connected to the shift forks inside of the transfer case. Now you have an additional actuator instead. No biggie though, enjoy the new car smell while it lasts! Were Cooper AT3's part of the deal?

Did you get the new bike too?

:worthless

Prediction: You will be driving your 4th 5th generation 4runner within two years.

Ya think? Post #12 here http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/127363-electronic-vs-manual-4wd.html sorry man. I misspoke when I said transfer case. I meant front differential.

No new bike yet, no new tires, no I will not be driving a 4th 5th.

But he'll have a 1st 6th in three.

What color interior did you get? Glad to here you like the softex. My dealer only had reg. sr5's in stock when I ordered mine so I have yet see, touch and smell it yet.

Could this guy be Trolling since there are no pics and he only has 4000+ posts??? :becky:

Pics never get old... Congrats on your new 4Runner!

That is exactly why I stay away from dealerships!

I'm technically not in the market, but I was still curious to check out my local dealership's inventory and see if they've got any TRD Pros available. Just generally a bad idea for me because, when it comes to vehicles, "just looking" turns into "just buying" damn near every time. Oh, well. Life is short.

Anyway, these guys have one TRD Pro available. Super White. Sticker Price: $43,657. :wow2:

I've seen several other threads with TRD Pro pricing info, but I don't remember seeing any figures that were quite this high!

So. Today I attempted the maneuver known as "just looking." Success.

Greg are you sure you don't work for Toyota and they pay you to drive newer models and tell forum followers all the great things Toyota has done?

I will just say, I read that whole post thinking another new person with a 4runner. it didn't dawn on me until I read raven's post that it was 1E !!!!

and I promptly scrolled back up to verify the OP.

I guess I (us, we, everyone here) can say welcome to the 5th gen forums (again)

:lol:

and another thing, the timing is impeccable. was at the Toyota dealer to get some odd sounds checked out and while waiting one of these arrived.

what are the odds I see this and then check here later to something similar.

Oh... someone mentioned pictures. It's a '15 SR5 Super White. I take crappy pictures.

I think of it as OMG White, and you can't take pictures of it in direct sunlight. It just glows!!!! Congrats on the purchase.

Hey [MENTION=66316]1engineer[/MENTION],

Blessings to you, your 'Co-pilot', and the rest of the 1E family... and to the furry K-9 or Feline persuasion! So happy for you on your 'NEW SR5 Prem' purchase! :driving:

Regards, riggy!

Does this mean we should give him a noob hazing? I vote yes...

So he can put 285's on there?

What a great story! In the weeks of reading almost every post going back a year trying to decide what I should buy, that post would have solved it all. No matter, I ended up buying the exact same white SR5 Premium.

Go back to typing over there on the east coast. I was hoping you could tell others how easy it is to get stuck in mud but you never go off road do you?

:jk:

Yes. Yes you can. Run 2" spacers with 9" rims and 7" of offset. No problem...oh, you mean you want to actually turn the wheels?
