well the new 4runner is definitely no FJ... didnt the FJC make it through the rubicon with almost no damage? but, it did make it through, and all the way to AZ after... still fairly impressive...

My understanding of KDSS is that it is electronic swaybar disconnect. There are some videos out there describing it on 2010 4Runner, but I don't have the links anymore.

That almost looks the same size as my parents 200series!

April really likes the look of this one, so who knows, maybe trade the taco in, in a year or two. :)

God the more I see it the more I am just awed, I wish I had teh money for a payment plan even lol

[Crinale]

it seems we are all (or at least almost all) in agreement that toyota did something right with this new 4runner...

[Seanz0rz]

yeah id say they did a damn good job this time around. theres some stuff i dont like, but i know they are a corporation, and there are items that must make it into vehicles. i regret the lack of real bumpers (3rd gen and prior) and some of the electronic systems (hill descent control, etc) but overall im very happy with the mechanics and the styling. i will most likely purchase one in the next 3 years!

[Robinhood4x4]

It's ok, hill descent control and the uphill brake holding thing are useless anyway. Hill descent is still too fast and the hill holding thing is negated by anybody who has two feet.

and thats kind of my point. you pay for all this tech, have to lug it around everywhere, and im sure it has a failure rate, and yet, its useless. i dont think there is a single system in my 4runner that i dont use at least often. this is why i miss alacarte options on vehicles. packages are nice, and probably cheaper in the long run, but i still would rather have alacarte.

We've got the hill holding feature on our 5 speed Subaru. I like it. It's kind of like a line lock and is really useful in traffic. I kind of wish I had that in my 5 speed 4runner, less for traffic and more for offroad.

That's the thing, it would be immensely valuable on a manual tranny, but 4runners don't come with a manual tranny anymore and is therefore useless.

i thought i posted in this thread but i guess it was over at expo.

the 5th gens are at the port and would be on dealer lots except there was a mix up in the wiring harness they got for the tow package, 4pin instead of 7 or something like that. they are trying to come up with a fix.

thats according to the sales person at my local dealer as of 1.5 weeks ago.

[YotaFun]

Sean, my school friend that works at a dealer here just got one in.
I have been meaning to go look at it but that a half an hour in the opposite direction of the way I go home so...

I do have off today....
Hmm....

God I love my iPhone

[Lee]

[Scuba]

Lol. Did anyone catch the 4runner cameo in the "tailgate history" commercial last night during the colts/ pats game?

[YotaFun]

really? then charge it.


LMAO, its on its charger now, Sorry I was at work and I took my car instead of the truck and left the car charger in the truck...

nope?
stuck on youtube yet?

[Scuba]

No clue man, I knew someone was gonna ask or suggest that though..
I'm at work, browsing on the iPhone :D

[Marc P]

I am not a fan...we have one of the limited ones at my work now, and we have been told by Toyota it may be at least a year before we see the Trail Edition.

I think the front bumper are is ugly...good luck getting an aftermarket one to fit and look ok.

I do like the "Party Mode" button...I think I am going to get one and hook it up to my e-locker!

[Scuba]

Marc, What is it you do for work? And why did Toyota give you one ? Just curious
Lol bout the party mode button..

[Marc P]

Toyota didnt give me one...I am a Service Advisor for a Toyota dealer and we recently had a "launch" for the new 4runner.

[Scuba]

Ahh, that makes complete sense

[Obi..]

[Still waiting on a pic of the "Party Button".]
