Gotta say I really like most all the forums for any make/model this consortium has. Easy to read & use, but they seem to attract a nice audience full of mature discussion too.

I’m curious to see just what the price difference might be & ultimately what the feature differences for that price wind up being. Saying I want it all & going Platinum is easy until you have to pay for it. Then the value of saving a few bucks looks pretty good.

I’m certainly curious to check both out & evaluate from there. Since I don’t need to rush on a decision I can afford to wait until both are available on the lot. I think either would make a fine choice.

Sorry, I realize now the pic isn’t very clear if you haven’t been in one. The button on the bottom right turns off the screen. Is this not something found on other cars? Does the screen have to be on all the time? Or does it dim with other dash lighting how cars used to be? I just don’t...

Front seat & yes I fear you’re right. I’m probably expecting a bit much out of the midsize class, wanting full size truck room. I didn't’ try any of the back seats, the dog would be happy enough riding back there. I think going & test driving a Tacoma is the best bet you’re right. That...

Shopping for a ‘forever’, or at least long term, road trip vehicle. So not surprising the 25 4R came on my radar. So here’s my consideration list, all armchair so far, haven’t experienced anything in person yet, though I need to in order to get a good feel for long distance comfort. Whether...

I read the part where there’s 6” difference in height. If that’s accurate, I still can’t see there being 6” difference in headroom. But maybe?

It may not be all that bad. $5K on top of 67 is 72 & a few bucks for the platinum it might come in around $75K? Say that quick & it almost sounds cheap! But that’s meaningfully less than $83K for the top end LC (discounting the FE), giving them some price differentiation even at the top end.

Anything I’ve seen so far suggests the hybrid battery goes where the 3rd row would be, so it’s an either/or choice. Not known for sure yet of course, but it seems to make sense when you consider the GX can be had with a 3rd row while the LC cannot (at least not in N.America).

Hmm.. I was initially confused thinking his count of 5 was only considering Toyota branded vehicles, but the lead shot shows both a LC & a GX without the 4R of course. Which also eliminates the possibility that he’s considered the GX & LC as one so there’s really… Of course that also discounts...

Man I hope Everest comes on the Platinum. That’d be the one for me!

That would definitely be a major contributor to the difference you’re feeling. I had BOF pickups for most of my life & only in the last 8? Years have gotten into unibody SUVs. That feel you’re describing int he Tacoma I’ve come to determine I prefer. Rear drive alone feels hugely different in...

Interesting question. I’ve gotten the extended warranty on Fords & not had to use it. I didn’t figure you needed to on a Toyota. Isn’t that what you’re buying one for? I guess though their finance departments still would try to sell you one.

It couldn’t be a wheelbase thing could it, with the larger length of the Taco allowing for more stability when towing? Otherwise powertrain is the same & I’d think frame construction would be too, minus additional length. I didn’t look up weight or payload ratings for either vehicle.

Count me in as a fan. If you’re going to go grayscale to me this is the most interesting color to choose. Plus it’s probably relatively easy to get an allocation for vs. non-grayscale colors.

Thankfully they never seem to follow exchange rates exactly but price according to each individual market. I’m assuming primarily based on competition & affordability.

While this doesn’t bother me (I’m the guy who wants the biggest screen possible), do other cars not have a button to shut off the screen? Bottom right corner button makes it go dark, I”m assuming for this very reason of too much light inside the cabin at night. I haven’t experimented with it...

Your color theory makes sense to me. https://www.autoblog.com/2024/04/10/toyota-4runner-trd-pro-colors-through-the-years/ Did any of the other exclusive colors go through to the normal lines the year after? I think they must’ve but haven’t followed anything Toyota closely enough until recently...

So the two we’re missing out on are the TRD Sport Premium & TRD Off Road then? That‘s not ideal for middle of the road buyers then if you can‘t choose either Sport or Off Road in normal or premium. They can’t offer everything I get it, but it seems they like to offer less here even though it...
