    I thought I would like the T4R, but when my truck got crunched and had 1 for a week. I actually just wasn't impressed, but we all like what we like. Sharp looking ride man.

    There are days I think I should have went with a 4 Runner. One of the medics I work with has one and I really like it. I dont use my bed of my new truck that often because I have a trailer. If I have to flip back my cover for something bigger to go in the bed I just hook the trailer up and tow it. Also doesnt the 4 runner have the same engine and suspension as the tacoma anyways ?

    So my wife’s T4R was feeling like a slug, so I ran a couple of tanks of premium through it and did a throttle position reset on it and it woke it up. Did some reading and you gotta get the RPMs up tad higher for it to make the extra power it comes with unlike the 2nd Gen Taco 4.0

    4Runners are great. Hope the 5th gens hold up as well long term as the 4th. My wife and I have had an 04 for 8 years now and its around 208k miles(never hand any issues at all). Great choice!

    Nice! I kept my 17 off road, and added a 16 trail to the family. The 4 runner is way more fun to drive. :)
