    New guy here.

    I had a supercharged S-10 with a www.wynjammer.com and it was totaled when someone tried to steal it and wrecked the inside.

    I looked around for another s-10, but most of the trucks are beat to hell.

    Thatʻs when I started to look for other truck options and by complete accident found out about the X-runner which fit my criterias:

    1. use car tire types (instead of off road tires - since I donʻt go off road)
    2. RWD
    3. stick
    4. Supercharger solution

    Thanks.

    Iʻm from CAlifornia BTW.

    I did notice that a few of the Tacos have oxidized paints..... is that common?

    Gotta say that the X Runner is like just such a perfect platform for what Iʻm looking for..... kicking myself in the head for not even looking at Toyotas in the past.

    Yeah some of the paint jobs are cheap, i think that the pro version colors are good though. Like the cement and sand colors

    It's common for any vehicle paint that is sun exposed and not cared for.

    Welcome from sunny Florida, and another previous S-10 fan.

    Welcome to TW the 12'-13' X-Runners would the best choice especially the 2013 since it's the last year they made them. I'd love to find a 13' X-Runner since it's pretty rare to find one :thumbsup:

    thanks.

    was wondering, besides being the last year that they made the X-runner, was there anything different from the earlier models?

    why did they discontinue them? sales numbers sluggish?
