Soon to be 5th Gen Owner

Hey Everyone, I'm taking delivery on a new 2010 4Runner Trail Edition in Magnetic Gray Metallic on Monday.

I'm excited to join the group, I'll post pics when I get it!

Here is what I'm saying goodbye to....I'll definitely miss the utility/gas mileage, but I won't miss the jokes...

Nice, I traded in my Toaster for a 4Runner too!

World of difference in my book from the ride quality, the noise and the creature comforts. The Element can't be beat for the rear capacity and ease of use but the trade off has been worth it for sure.

"toaster" HAHAHAHAHA. Man you are going to love the 4runner. By far the best vehicle i have ever owned

Picked up my TE yesterday - boy is (was) it beautiful! It already looks like crap from all the salt and snow still on the roads here in NoVA.

So far I'm really happy with it, but I will say that I'm surprised at the noise level at highway speeds, my buddy has a 4th gen SR5 V8 thats a little more smooth / quiet. Also, coming from the "toaster" I figured the noise level would have dropped a lot. This definitely isn't bad for a truck of this size, but i just surprised me at first.

The other thing I've noticed is the purrr at idle while sitting at a stop light, it bothered me at first but it's starting to grow on me.

I think my first mod is going to be the S2000 antenna! After that, who knows...

Congrats on your purchase. I just picked mine up on Saturday!!!

I came from a 2003 V6 4Runner and think the new one is a lot quieter!! Maybe it is the fact that the stereo is a lot better, and I don't have to turn it up as much:
