    People like the look of the lowered trucks and to race them versus build them up for LT or for trails. It's the same kind of concept as to why you would buy a 4x4 truck. Hope that kind of helps.

    Cause you still have a truck. Thats why. X-runners can haul stuff. And pull trailers still. Maybe not as much weight, but still.

    Y did you make yours all black?
    Y do people have 1000 hp cars when the speed limit is 75?
    Y do people wear $500 shoes when $20 ones work just fine?
    ... and so on and so forth

    Hey, you spelled everything correctly!:) Go pick a prize from the grab box, Chris.

    Would you guys be this cruel to me if i started a thread asking why people like vanilla ice cream when everyone knows chocolate is better?

    Maybe he was just wondering what the attraction was and didn't ask it in a shrewd, non-offensive manner. OP, maybe next time ask something more like "What appeals to you most about your x-runners?" It would have gotten you the answers and nobody would have torn you.

    X-Runners are sweet looking. I barely see one. I saw one 2 days ago and it's awesome. If I were to go that route and slam a truck.....X-Runner would be it just because it looks good (has nothing to do with the fact that it's a Toyota).
