My first Toyota!

New 4runner owner

I too just recently purchased new 2016 4Runner 4.0. Only got the SR5 cause price was already plenty and i'm 23 so its going to get its share of young,dumb abuse. Really enjoy it so far and its my first Toyota I've owned. My previous trucks were 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 3.0 v6 and a 2003 Nissan Frontier XE 3.3 v6. Ranger was my truck in high school from age 18-22 and my Nissan was a extra truck i picked up because the price and availability was a score. Sold my ranger and about to sell my Nissan and finally be alone with my new babe, the Runner. Stoaked i made the decision and purchased it because here in Hawaii it pays to have a reliable vehicle that you can go off road rambling lava fields and down to the beach with ease. Really glad i have jumped to a Toyota.

First post to this forum and hope to have many more.Aloha
 
People are still offroading in Toyotas from the 60's. Hope you weren't planning on needing a new vehicle anytime soon. Welcome to the club!
 
Just picked up my first 4Runner

Picked up my first Toyota yesterday. I have been on this site for awhile looking at trucks but now that I got mine I figured I could join the community.
Picked up the 2016 4Runner TRD PRO
 
Traded in the 2009 Buick Enclave on a 2016 4Runner Limited on 04-Jul. Have never owned a Toyota but so far I am very impressed with the quality and features/functionality.
Welcome! That's an upgrade for sure....Toyota is synonymous with awesome.
 
I know I mentioned it before, but was again impressed. Last night while I was cruising down a stretch of suburban hill with no other traffic, saw flashing lights ahead, so instinctively jabbed the brakes and checked my speed. The transmission downshifted, I continued down the long hill, again gave the brakes a firm but brief tap and sure enough, another down shift. I have never had a vehicle with this feature before but it just makes logical sense. My wife will appreciate it because I never ride the brakes down a hill but she hates it when I periodically pump them, so the automated gearing down is great.
 
Good to hear, any new plans for it?
No plans at this point. My first 4x4 in 39 years of driving, so just enjoying being able to pull away from a light or start up a steep hill in the rain without the front wheels spinning. Will make an effort to go find some snow this winter to exercise the H4L and L4L.
