After months of research here and with every dealer in CA I finally brought my baby home from AZ yesterday! I found an incredible deal ($5K less than anything here in CA) and had an incredibly great experience working with Peter Murillo at the AAA office in Phoenix. I highly recommend using AAA now for anyone purchasing a car and Peter especially if you live near Phoenix.
She's a brand new 2018 TRD ORP. Superwhite, with KDSS, moonroof, window tinting, etc.
Drove her to overnight visit with my sister in Prescott Valley from Phoenix Tuesday and then left for home the next morning. I took the 89 south out of Prescott through the Prescott Valley Forest and had a wonderful drive. 89 through the forest is fantastic set of sweepers set in great scenery. Awesome motorcycle or sportscar road like many of the amazing roads here in the Malibu hills or like the 33 though Ojai into Lockwood valley - I highly recommend it! Opened up all the windows including the rear and moonroof and enjoyed the cool mountain air. First winner for the moonroof. Baby handled the sweepers very nicely and although I did notice the 'dreaded nose dive' it wasn't excessive and if you're smooth it's no biggie. The second winner for the moonroof came as I headed into the flats below Yarnell. With the moonroof open I was able to hear the unmistakable sound of air superiority fighters getting after it overhead. I pulled over and got a 5 minute mini airshow as an F-35 and two F-16's did some dogfighting overhead. Moonroof paid for itself right then. Without it open I never would have heard them and most likely would never have seen them. The rest of the drive home was uneventful. I took a couple of pics and have attached them. First was in the forest on the way down to Yarnell and the second was on the flats on 17 I think heading to the 10 - I saw an interesting sign and stopped. Evidently Roberts Arizona Mining World evidently is an old mine and ghost town you can visit. I didn't have time, but from the web it looks like something I might make time for next time. The rest of the time I was super happy with how the 4rnr handled. I did notice that if your hands are light on the wheel it feels like even with very slight input it caused some wiggle - probably due to less thandesirable sidewalls on the stock Dunlops. Everything else felt tight and quiet and everything was right where I would want it to be - very nice!
BTW, if you're ever in Prescott some of the best pizza I've ever had is at Bill's right on the square across from the courthouse (seen in Back To The Future). By the time I got home last night baby looked like a super model with a piece of spinach stuck to her front teeth so she got her first bath this morning. Man are the a lot of nooks and crannies on that front/grill for bugs to get into - Thomas' English Muffins got nothin on the 4rnr!
Now the Mods can start!!!!
