    I mean… it’s a Ford, you don’t care
    I’m also about to pull the trigger on a 4R. If I can close on the house I’m selling on time (this week) I’ll probably grab it later in the week. The one I’m looking at is a silver 2017 SR5 premium. It’ll be my wife’s car, until she’s sick of it, then I may have to inherit it:fingerscrossed::rofl:

    :boink: :crapstorm: Just saying, the 4Runners I wanted were/are 4th Gen 4.7l Limited 4WD's. '05-'09 seemed the best, vvt-I for the 4.7, 5-spd AT. '08 got the handy 'VSC Off' button, nice feature.

    4.7l gets you full-time 4WD with CDL, the full Toyota ClassIV tow package (ClassIV hitch, 7-pin, external trans cooler, 180A alternator, 7k lb tow capacity).

    My 08 Tacoma has been good to me over the past 11 years. I guess I'll get to see how much better T4R is. Picking up a 19 OR Premium Saturday. Doesn't have KDSS though. Maybe with the right suspension, won't need the sway bars. I don't have one on my Tacoma.

    I still have my 13' Tacoma and it's mostly for work and mild off roading. The 4Runner is mostly for off roading and camping. I have Kings for the Tacoma so naturally Kings are going on to the 4Runner :thumbsup:

    Even though our 4Runner is the family (wife’s) car I take it when I can lol. My wife’s a good sport about it. My truck is strictly the beach truck for sure. Cleaned about a pound of sand out of it yesterday.

    I traded the Tacoma for the 4Runner. I'm going to miss the 6spd a lot.

    You won't miss it that long, the only thing I miss when I drive the 4Runner is the bed. Other then that it's everything the Tacoma is just better :thumbsup:

    How's the ground clearance on the 4Runner compared to the Tacoma?

    Different, low hanging fruit get a tank skid and if you have the TRD skid an extension for it. Departure angles are different as well gotta worry about smacking your butt on the ground when at a incline. Just some stuff i've figured out through experience and other members.

    You lose a little inches if you have KDSS. It's not bad for stock. I can still crawl under it up to the engine oil pan. The gas tank does hang a little low. It blows the Tacoma out of water when it comes to approach and departure angles.

    So far I really like it. Only thing I wish I could change is the dash lightning from blue to orange (or any other color)

    Heading into Yosemite from the east entrance/Tioga

    Out by Walke Lake just south of Lee Vining.

    I was out there Saturday til Tuesday. Then headed up to Gardnerville, Carson City, and Reno. I stayed in Mammoth Lakes when I visited Yosemite. I hiked up to Glacier Point. It wasn't crowded but plenty of eye candy to look at :thumbsup:

    I want to climb the cable side on Half Dome.... on my bucket list :fingerscrossed:
