First!!

I think I've seen half the guys off t4r on here just in this thread!

 

what does that party mode button do? i saw it when looking at cars for my wife

 

It makes your shi**y commute awesome! Haha, I think it has something to do with the way the music comes out of the radio?

 

Here you go

 

I think it just amplifies the sound in the back speakers and sub when you're tailgating with the rear door open. I can't really tell a difference when driving mine.

 

i need the party mode button for my dixie horn

 

My wife bought a 2011 trail addition has the scoop and lots of cool 4x4 stuff in it too. oh and yes party mode too Not a bad ride I like my tacoma much better I had 2 4runners before the tacoma I like the truck better.

 

How do you like the 4runner so far? My wife is getting one for her xmas present and I was wondering if I should have any concerns before I buy it.

 

Thanx for the write up, she of course wants good fuel econ too, 23 on the highway is way better then my tacoma ever got. Will be putting some money down on one shortly, I love the white ones like your, but i dont know if i want an sr5 or a trail. My local dealer also has a used 2011 limited for a very good price. test driving them later today!

 

I got my wife a 2010 4runner limited 4x4 for her Christmas present last year and I love the thing! The only thing I don't like is I always seem to speed when I am driving because it drives so soft. Other than that, it's awesome and the 4x4 is strong!

 

From what I've read it's all about your creature comforts if you aren't going to wheel it. The Trail is a lot cooler looking and is a beast off road, but doesn't come with leather, 3rd row, dual climate control, among other small items. It can come with KDSS, which I have heard nothing but great reviews for on and off road. The SR5 is an SR5 and the suspension is like Bandit says soft and is advisable to be swapped out. 5100's have had great reviews to replace the SR5 suspension as they clean up the dive and body roll.

The limited has all the bells and whistles and AWD. This may be an important factor depending on your living conditions and your wife comfort using a 4wd system. It also comes with leather dual climate controls and xreas I believe. These are some of the small things I have picked up from reading others posts. Unfortunately I have no experience with a 5th gen. Good luck with your decision!

 

Well...the limited 4runner's have the switch. I think only the Trail edition comes with the manual transfer case but I agree....I prefer a manual transfer case also.

 

Then I guess it's just the sr5 and the Trail edition that has the manual transfer case....but the limited has the switch.

 

The XReas suspension on the limited has all but eliminated body roll, not sure if it is an option on the sr5

Yes the suspension and brakes are a huge improvement over the Tacoma and don't forget the usb plug in the glove box for your ipod

 

i know im probably late but the party mode button is for tailgating. when its open your supposed to activate it and it sends all the sound to the tailgate. a feature i might try on the tacoma if i put a sound system in the bed
