Said my goodbyes to my cement Taco Pro today.....

why?

 

got my truck...a few months later i found out in having identical twin boys, i alredy have 2 kids lol + the wife that's a fam of 6, my daughter is only 20months old.
that means 3 car seats.
4runner =7 seats

was trying for 1 more kid but didn't expect 2

lastly they look absolutely amazing.
i'm not a fan of rear leaf springs on trucks.
4runners i can get front and rear coilovers.
hardly ever use the bed and don't ever tow anything.

edit:did a lease planning on buying it after the lease was over so it was cheaper month to month and now to get out of it i would have to pay a lot of money (be upside down.
lastly within a month (before i knew about twins i already had a ton of aftermarket parts for the taco (about 5k in stuff)

 

btw u win top 5 favorite tacomaworld names in my book.

ya know i'm just like the fetuses chuck, i wasn't born yesterday either..

 

Congrats on the new ride! The wife and I both got our cars from Dean at Toyota West. Fantastic dealership! I'll be looking for you as I'm cruising down Lytle Five Points.

 

How many miles did yours have on it?

 

Only 7600

 

So vs. the Taco Pro what are the biggest differences you've noticed so far? Likes and dislikes??

 

Well the biggest difference is the 5 sp tranny in the 4R compared to the 6 sp auto in the Taco. It's just performs so much better. To be honest I really forgot how a good auto tranny is to drive. My last six vehicles have all been manual's, so when I got the Taco pro I didn't think much about it. As time went on I did start to notice the little subtle things that started to bother me. I don't have a lot of miles on the 4R yet of course, but I would have to give the ride edge to the Taco. The Fox suspension seems to ride better then the Bilsteins on the 4R. The 4R kind of rides/reminds me of my old Taco Baja series. The 4R just seems put together better. Made in Japan vs America. Fuel economy is not a huge difference, but the Taco does get a little higher MPG. So far with my 4R I am averaging 18 and the Taco was averaging around 20. I am sure as time goes on I will have a even better idea on the true differences between the two.

 

I'm fairly certain I drove past you on 71 S Saturday. I was heading back from Columbus to Cincinnati & was admiring your 4R. That color looks great!

 

Glad you stuck with a 4Runner. I got both in my driveway

 

Awesome 4RP....I would have gotten it when I got rid of my '16 Tundra Limited....But I didn't think I would need 2 similar SUV (own '15 GX460)....NOW I regetted NOT getting it....

Well done sir.
