Does anybody know if you can play movies on your ipod through the TomTom?,,,its along shot but you never know

No, I don't think so. The iPod connector doesn't have a video out, and I don't think the TomTom handles video anyway - ie, no back up camera option for this unit.
 
Price for an urban runner

Was at a NY dealership thinking I'd pick up the urban runner for invoice, and he wanted more than 33 grand! I was shocked, but he said the urban package makes the car that much more desirable! To those who have the urban-what did you pay for it? Also, is there ANY way to conveniently put a 3rd row in the urban (since the sport its based on doesnt come with a 3rd row...)Ari
 
Regarding the Dueller H/T: I drove them for 40k miles on my '05 Chevy Equinox company ride and absolutely hated them. Ok on dry highways, but not very surefooted on snow at all for me - in fact I had them taken off and put on Blizzaks during the winter.

Never really had them off-road, but I'd be shocked if they were good at all in mud or sand. Hard for me to imagine these as factory standard on a 4Runner.

I can't remember the exact figure (damn paperwork is everywhere!), but it was just over 30K. My uncle knew the sales manager at the dealership really well, so basically told them to give me a great deal - I think it was a little under invoice.

Yeah, my tire guy said they were "eh" tires, but that Toyota probably got a great deal from Bridgestone.

Based on his recommendations, and after looking at the GY Wrangler SilentArmors, Firestone Destination A/T, Bridgestone REVOs, and Michelin LTX A/T, I'm going with the Michelins.

He pointed out some interesting design differences and said you can't get better for the money. I'm just waiting on TireRack to get them in stock and then I'm switching out these Duelers.

I payed 31,400 for mine out the door. This included side signal mirrors, tinted side windows, and color keyed door guards.

30k, 31400 OTD-does that mean tax was included? Even if it wasnt-31400, 31700 are MUCH MUCH lower! Which dealers did you buy them from? I knew that MSRP was 35.5 so 33 was way too much...What can I do to force them to come down on price?
Ari

Also, anyone have advice about the 3rd row?
 
31,400 was out the door. I am in the DFW area and just ran a bidding war with all the toyota dealers in the area online until I got the lowest price. Use online pricing and you should be able to do better. Also... be patient and work those dealers.
 
Tried 2 dealers, and one guy gave me a quote of 31 and change, which I could work with, but when i got there, the cars were sold...........blah blah blah. Can I really buy this Urban Runner for 31.5 after tax? Is there anyone out there that can get me a hook-up?
