Purchased another 2014 T4R

[Jimfirefitr]

We purchased our first 2014 T4R in December of 2013 with the anticipation of purchasing another new vehicle within 1-2 years. The plan was to have my wife drive the 4Runner while I drove her CR-V until we found something else that she liked. Our goal was to purchase a Highlander for her or wait till the redesigned 2015 Honda Pilot's arrived. Well, she absolutely loved the 4Runner and I needed my man card back, so we listed the CR-V on Craigslist and sold within 2 hours. She thought the Highlander was too similar to a mini van and stated "I want my truck". Yesterday we took delivery of our second 2014 T4R, a Silver Trail Edition with KDSS. She is now driving the Silver Trail while I have the Gray SR5 with Bilsteins, and Konig Six Shooters. I removed the running boards from the SR5 that she opposed to while she was driving, and planned on installing them on her Trail. Once she saw them off and how well her Trail looked without, she decided against installing on the Trail. Stock size Cooper AT3's to be installed tomorrow morning, Weathertechs ordered, and front tint next week. No more mods for the Trail at this time. We want to keep this as highway friendly as possible for our travels. The Trail has no 3rd row like our SR5 and it seems to significantly open the cargo area. When the 3rd row is down, it has a slight slope and less height than one without the 3rd row. The only thing my wife noticed different so far is that the Trail does not have a sunglass holder like the SR5.
Ohh yeah, I told the dealer not to expect to hear from me in regards to a new vehicle purchase for at least 9+ years.

Sorry for the pic, but it was taken at night once we returned from the dealer and running errands.

That's awesome. I need diversity in my garage though. Enjoy!

[MENTION=62425]Ryan1975[/MENTION] - Gotta go with what you like. Considered multiple other vehicles just kept coming back to the T4R.
[MENTION=1032]NoDak[/MENTION] - I agree

Nice... Another Double 5th gen owner, I don't think there are that many of us.

I know there are 5th gen and Landcruiser (or other Toyota) owners but no too many people are willing to buy two of the same vehicle.

Congrats.

Somehow I just came up with the next Dos Equis commercial.

"I don't buy a New 4-Runner often, but when I do... I buy TWO!"

Stay thirsty my friends! :beer:



Congrats on the new addition!

Now it is time to put the Toytec coils on for the lift on the SR5

Awesome!

Oh and even though I have a sunglasses holder I don't use it. The space on the door in front of the door handle is a perfect fast-acess place to store a pair of sunglasses

I will PM you soon to discuss what we had talked about in regards to installing and other ideas. Thanks again for your offer to assist. For everyone else out there, TOY2G has offered to assist helping me with a lift install due to the lack of quality installers in our area. I simply PM'ed him inquiring of reputable installers and he offered his assistance. I can't say enough good things about him and the quality of information offered on this site. I would surely purchase itmes off of him due his character.

I'm actually trying to work a deal on trading my f150 for a new TE as we speak. So I'll have a 4th gen 4runner and a 5th gen 4runner. I actually trust my '08 4runner with 120k miles more than my 2012 f150 with 37k miles.

[MENTION=99247]Jimfirefitr[/MENTION] I'm in a similar boat. I want that damn T4R as my daily and she is holding tight to her truck! We may end up with 2 T4R's, highly likely scenario.
Other options for the time being are Suburban or Yukon... Anyone have any experience with either?

We considered those, but I felt it wasnt worth it with the added cost, significant depreciation compared to the T4R, reliability, and our usage (no towing).

All true, unless you have more than 2 kids... So we will see if we don't stop at 2, we not have an option. The third row on the 4R is close to useless.

Also considering sequoia too actually, but I don't really want a V8

we will see

You need to get a couple of custom window stickers or licence plate frames that say "My other car is also a 4runner"

I have to be honest, I wish I still had my 4th gens. At the time we had 2 V8 4th gens and a 5th gen. Now I have sold both of my 4th gens and have 2 5th gens, and I find myself missing my old runners way more than I thought. I still have a few other 4runners also, but noting made me smile like my 4th.

I like your style!!

I looked for the last two months for pre owned 4th gens with under 50k miles and couldn't find anything within 300 miles for a decent price. I was specifically looking for a Limited or Sport. I found a 2008 Limited a couple days ago with under 30k miles and they were asking $26,000. I offered $23,000 and they said no. I guess it was meant for me to purchase the 14 Trail. I paid $34,900 prior to taxes, doc fees so the deal was too difficult to pass on.
