Traded Gen 4 for Gen 5 this weekend

[dwm2112]

After over 9 years with our 2004 V8 4WD Sport Edition we traded it over the weekend on a 2013 4WD Limited. It was a crazy day. I went to the dealership looking at a new 2013 that had 1,600 miles on it. We just couldn't get to an agreement on pricing so when I was about to walk they came forward with another idea. They had an identical model on the used car lot with only 1,100 miles that also had the powered side steps which worked on the pricing side. I ended up purchasing a used vehicle that had 600 fewer miles and since it was a certified pre-owned now also has a 7 year 70K mile warranty. What a sweet deal.

My ride is a 2012 FJ so this is the wife's vehicle. This is her 3rd 4Runner. We have had a Gen 3, Gen 4 and now the Gen 5. Spent tonight ordering a bunch of accessory items for it which hopefully arrive before next weekend so I can get them installed over the weekend.

The Old…



The New…

Congrats and welcome to 5th gen

Congrats always nice to get what you want. Did you keep the wheels from the old one?

 

[Jeremy556]

Hope you swapped wheels and tires during the trade

Hah nice, you are going to confuse your neighbors! "Honey, did you notice something different about the neighbors car? Doesn't it seem bigger, more bad ass, and intimidating than it did yesterday?"

hmmmm not sure I would have dumped the gen4 w/v8 but to each their own. Gen5 looks nice though:rockon:

Agreed to some degree. It was a hard decision. We never had a single problem with the Gen 4 since new. If I were the primary driver I would have lifted it and kept it but it is the wife's and I need to keep her happy so I can keep working on mine...
