    lol another subie convert. yeah im in the same boat. only im getting rid of my 10 3.6R legacy for a 14 4runner.

    defeatable awd nanny and the awesome awd system couldnt make up for all the subraru standard noise, issues that you just dont have in toyota's.

    pretty sad the warden's 12 tacoma ride is better over bumps than my legacy.

    enjoy the new ride, you will love the little things you are use to putting up with in a subaru compared to a toyota.

    I had three STi's before my 2013 Sport. Miss some aspects of the STi but don't regret it for a minute!

    wow, didn't know we had so many members here that previously owned subarus. I owned an 06 sti prior to getting my 11 taco. I must admit, I really miss the sti however, because I can only afford to have one and not both right now, I can't be any happier with the taco.

    Rather than lowering, I'm contemplating lifting mine 2" (with Forester struts) due to the poor roads in my area.

    I traded my 09 Legacy for my 07 Tacoma, before the Legacy I had a bugeye WRX. If I could do it all over, I would have bought the truck back in 07 when I first got my WRX =)

    I just went from an Evo 10 to a SW DCSB OR, pretty much the same situation. First truck I've ever owned but it's hard to imagine the truck driving better in the snow than the Evo. Even with all-season tires on it, the Evo was a monster in the snow. I guess I'll find out in a month or two...

    I'm sure its better than your evo in the snow for the pure fact of ground clearance
