Stock TE Shocks

[FlyNavy]

Hopefully this hasn't been addressed yet.

Anyone notice Toyota advertising the TE as having Bilstein shocks? I have Tokicos. What is the deal with this discrepancy?

Is this what you were reading?

WTF? This must be a pre-release sort of thing that they forgot to change.

They must have decided to drop the Bilstein shocks, Torsen diff, and tubular side steps at the last minute. :crybaby:

Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition Package

The package features an Electronic Locking Rear Differential and a Torsen® limited-slip center differential with locking feature. Also included are Bilstein® shocks, unique 16-inch, 5-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, distinctive black-painted tubular side steps and roof rack, and a color-keyed grille. To complete the package, there's a TomTom® [1] Personal Navigation Device [2], so you'll know precisely when you reach the middle of nowhere.

I was actually looking at that site a little more. It looks like a hold-over from 2009. If you go to the site and click on one of the first tabs you cannot get back to the linked page.

Funny....That's the description of the rare 2009 4Runner Trail Edition.
Argueably the most capable 4runner ever made.

That's exactly what I am talking about - clearly advertised under the 2010 4Runner banner. I want my damn Bilsteins and a leather wrapped steering wheel, oh and license plate garnish (whatever that is). No seriously, I want my Bilsteins.

Isn't that the 2009 Trail Edition package for the 4th Gen?

EDIT: Harper beat me to it.

It's not like you got gipped since the 2010 TE's never had any of those features. That description is of the 2009 Trail Edition model. I remember because I looked at one at the dealer.

Here's a set of Bilstein's (5100's) that everybody may like: Bilstein
