Looking to buy fairly soon--some questions though

Back-up camera must be part of the SR5 and TRD packages. My SR5 has it. Mine is on my entune nav screen but i'd rather have it up in the mirror. It's more natural to use the mirror than looking down at the radio while backing up.

 

bjboucher, like that TX Edition! I know black is a PITA to keep clean (my wife's Highlander is black & I told myself after that I'd never buy a black car for myself), but just love the "toughness" look of the black Taco. I know it may scratch more easily also, but based off the pics on here I just keep going back to black.

Also, I noticed the WeatherTech mats. I just bought some (black) for my wife's HLer. Didn't realize they would show dirt so much more than the factory carpet mats. How are your gray ones as far as showing dirt?

 

They show more dirt because there is nowhere for the dirt to go, it stays on the surface (unlike carpet, which looks cleaner because the dirt is buried in the pile).

Also unlike carpet, the plastic Weathertechs can be wiped clean with a damp rag and then look brand new. I spend 45 minutes vacuuming my current cars OEM carpet floor mats, and they're still full of dirt.

True, my 1 yr old spilled her milk on the WeatherTechs, and that's exactly what I did. After finding out about the spill, went inside and got a clean rag, wet it, went out in the garage, and that milk (dry at the time) wiped right off. Thought to myself not such a bad purchase after all

 

FTMFW?

 

Easy brother, first rule of fight club is don't ever say anything to OZ in the form of a question. He's ornery and sees a question as an invitation to show off his big canadian gun show.

Also.. FTMFW.. fuck the mother fucking world.. [reported]

QFT. I'm pretty sure that's written in the Bible somewhere.

 

Hahaha--love that movie. Been a couple years since I've seen it though.

 

It's funny--looks like the poll is split right at 50/50. However, have seen threads where more people lean towards LB. I have no opinion. Like both

 

Lol

You should have bought a 4Runner

 

For the mother fucking win

I had to sig what was said

 

Hahaha...I'm honored...


Honestly tho, it's true isn't it? We absorb regular people and the next thing you know, they're ordering lifts, light bars, and rims...

 

Very very true and I busted out laughing at work when I read ....we live here... part of that comment haha because its so damn true lol like before I joined TW I knew I wanted a lift and tint and that stuff but didn't know what lift or anything and now after joining TW I now know exactly what I want the beast too look like lol

 

Damnit.

 

I would say a long test drive is in order. And maybe try and park it in your garage to see how much more room you need?

I'm also in the market for a DC TRD Sport and am gunning for the long bed. I'm buying a truck because I need hauling capabilities in the bed. The short bed is not much bigger than an SUV for storage space. Not sure what your garage looks like, but can you "modify" it to make room? My brother ended up cutting into his drywall in his garage to fit his F150. He only need like 4 inches though.

 

The black is definitely a pain...seems like it's always dirty and shows every little scratch. Kind of a pain when you want to take it off road and the brush scratches the crap out of it. Sure looks awesome when it's clean though! haha

The gray ones show a lot of dirt too. I need to pull mine out and wipe them down. Dark colored carpet mats hide dirt the best but if you live somewhere that's wet or snowy or you like to get muddy these mats are great.

 

IF feels more natural having the backup cam in the rear view mirror. I have driven other cars where the backup cam is in the dash. Too much looking down, then the rear view, then each side mirror.

I can easily parallel park with this camera. Rear view camera should be mandatory IMO.

I have the Sport TRD package. Rear view mirror is part of that package.
