I never use my car’s names outside of conversation with my family.
My current daily is named Klaus (Merc C-class)
My Supra is named Maurice after the old man that did the appraisal when I first got the car all those years ago.
I’m picking up my 4runner tomorrow and I think I’ll name it Freddy...
Supply and command maybe? (Canadian joke for my Trailer Park Boys fans out there). Any hybrid 4Runner seems like it’s incredibly hard to get here. Just going over the Canadian FB groups, 7 month wait seems alright for a Platinum. Not much room to negotiate.
Picking up my Supersonic Red Platinum fixed running boards in a couple days. Had the initial dealership visit to sign the paperwork. Nothing changed from my initial quote back in March 2026. So $86,350 CAD cash deal in Ontario for the OTD price. Front windows will be tinted at no cost and...
Well after 7 long months, it’s finally here! Pickup is next week and I’m immediately adding a few things, ghost and TAG on day 1 hopefully. Today was just to come in, see the car and listen to their sales pitch on add ons. I told them that I do my own work and have other stuff lined up already...
Yeah seems like 6 month wait was standard after all. Feels like forever but I got a couple hundred off compared to other dealerships, so I’ll take that.
As for insurance, Bel Air direct was the best by a long shot. TD was around $270/month. Everyone else was stupid expensive. I guess it’s just...
The dealership gave me the VIN for my Platinum. Should arrive in 3-4 weeks. The countdown is on……
Separately, Belair direct quoted my $215/month for insurance with TAG and all that. For the GTA I think that’s ok. What’s everyone else getting?
I ended up pivoting quite a bit and ordering Matte Bronze ENKEI Trail cross wheels in 20x9 with +39 offset. Price was quite a bit better and I think keeping the wheels JDM is cool too.
Hey guys, I’m thinking of ordering 20x9 +12 offset Method 323s for my incoming 4Runner Platinum. Stock Platinum 20” wheels are +55 offset 20x8 I believe. Planning on running street tires on the 323s then keeping the stock wheels for a winter set.
1.) Will the 323s rub being wider and sticking...
Greater Toronto Area dealership texted me the other day and told me that my allocation for a Platinum was secured and their eta was end of October/beginning of November and that it would be a 2026 model. I placed the deposit end of April. Hopefully this comes to fruition and will not have to...
The salesman from the GTA dealership must’ve heard my passive aggressive typing because he just texted me today and said it’s in the pipeline for delivery with an ETA of late October/early November, with it still being a 2026 MY.
Has anyone heard any chatter from dealerships regarding Platinum allocations recently? It’s been about 4 months since I’ve put my deposit down. Dealer salesman said I would maybe receive it early August when I put the deposit down, but maybe that was just to secure an order. There’s a supersonic...
Disarm what? Vast majority of people in major Canadian cities were never rolling around with firearms. I’ll take higher car theft rates than higher gun crime rates any day of the week.
