My TRD Sport arrives next week. I've got a set of 275/70/R18 KO3s waiting my garage for the arrival. I've placed this tire next to the 265/70/R17 KO2 that's on my current rig and this tire looks massive in comparison. One thing you want to keep in mind - Take those TPMS sensors out of your...
The big difference for me would be that the Limited has full-time 4WD. I cannot speak for the 6th Gen just yet as mine will arrive sometime inside the next 13 days. One of the bigger problems with the 5th Gen was all the torque coming out of the back end, especially on wet pavement. The wet...
I ordered a TRD Sport.. It's sitting in port in Portland. since last Friday. Up to 20 days of processing time in port and one day to the dealer. I'm super excited about this one.
The tires are Falken Wildpeak AT/W3'A' . It's like a street / AT hybrid tire. The tread is not super aggressive like the ATW 3 and ATW 4... Something with that extra "A" in there that makes the tire different.
Part of the reason why it feels like a cave inside is because the headliner is now black. It has been gray since way back when I had a 4th Gen. I'm 6'2" and I felt claustrophobic inside. FWIW - I can't see over the hood either. They totally changed the windshield. It feels smaller from top...
Ended up going with 275/70/R18 BFG K03s today at Discount Tire. I asked them to match Costco's deal which included mount/balance. I also spoke with my parts person who told me the TPMS in the 6th Gen are new. She told me they are the same as what is been put in the 25 Land Cruiser. When I...
I've got a set of those Tacoma TRD rims sitting in the garage waiting to be put on when my TRD Sport arrives - PART# PT946-35240-2F . They are 18x8.5 139.7 6 lug and I've confirmed they will fit. The trick is getting them. There is a national backorder for over 200 of those wheels. Elmhurst...
I drove an ORP and I don't know that I would describe what I heard inside the cabin as "throaty" by any means.. It sounded surprisingly better than I expected, but it certainly does not sound like a 6. The sound of the 6 is common that our dog perks up whenever we're walking and a Taco or a...
I started at a dealer who flat out refused to budge on $3400 worth of crap add-ons. Paint protections, interior protection, key fob protection, glass protection, wheel protection, tire protection... They should have gave me a box of trojans for that $3400.. And don't get me started on the...
I agree.. The dealer needs to make some money, and the sales person needs to eat or feed their family. The problem here that the dealer makes 6% over invoice by selling at TSRP. That doesn't include the markup on PIOs. The dealer then adds a $3600markup on the vehicle citing paint...
From what I can see from the build sheet for the ORP that I test drove, fixed running boards ARE standard on the ORP. I would think they'd be standard on the hybrid as well.
I posted this in another thread as well. FWIW - drove this ORP and managed to discreetly snap a few photos as the sales manager stepped away to take a call.
FWIW - I drove this ORP the morning it hit the lot. The sales guy walked away to take a call, and I tried to discreetly snap a few photos.. The holdback was on the 2nd page. This should give you a good idea of how the numbers. work.
So after doing some digging. I’m now wondering if the rails for the Landcruiser / GX are the same. I looked at the CAD models for the @NYTOP rock rails. 4Runner and LC look the same, Taco has more brackets. Every dealer has 1953s on the lot. I may go climb under one and get a measurement...
