also remember audi had 2 different awd, the quattro and haldex
the haldex awd were very inferior awd system as they were part time awd vs the quattro's
the older subaru legacy's had a locking center diff button (i had a 2010 3.6R legacy awd with this)
so the statement of the 4R 4wd being better than awd is mostly technically correct.
edit : in referencing the limited 4R's primary use (most i know never saw dirt so they never go past 4HL)
i...
usually you have 3 options
FIO = factory installed options (also know as packages on toyota website)
PIO = port installed options (usually this is related to each regional port that coordinates vehicle sales, parts, and service for Toyota dealers)
regional ports you can usually find on google...
also take the forums as a grain of salt. forums contain maybe (guess) 10% of the current general buying pool.
most people buying a 4R or any BoF toyota vehicle dont even know about a forum.
hell most American's still think chrome is considered high end feature from the old caddy days
its a HV so i am guessing best case is april or may.
likely it will be mid/late summer going by typical fashion for my dealer. i mean our 23 tundra took 10 months from order to delivery
well since the poster above me didnt even take into account your question and gave a boilerplate poser answer.
1. if you are 90% not off roading, are you willing to give up the on road ride quality and features over the off road chops?
2. the sport is mostly for city driving, the off road is...
you can, but you have to be a person that works for a toyota dealer that has access to dealerdaily to see status on a vin.
you can always bug the dealer for this info, but they usually dont let the salesperson have access to this level.
it usually looks like this for shipping status. this was...
the quote was from c&d article and was close to what i remember. granted i am stuck way back in the early 2010's and before from what i researched back then so i havent really kept up on awd systems in toyota's since i only have to worry about the tacoma, 4R and now tundra 4wd systems
thanks...
yeah each person has their own opinion. i am ready for a new 4R regardless of the pro's/con's of the new one.
this platinum will be my retirement vehicle. after i pay it off i will be at 62/63 so i can start my retirement from civil service (usaf)
it will have everything i want.
heated...
no mirrors i think references wheel well outside to outside for federal rules. since if you go over that, federal rules requires you to add marker lights like the raptor full size truck require (federal rule states that vehicles 80 in + require the marker lights)
the only concern i have is the...
yeah people will be paying close to 60k for some lower trims (due to ADM, add-on markups, etc), while i laugh to the bank with my 66k msrp platinum going for invoice at 60k :ROFLMAO:(based on my calcs)
and i am glad i give this dealer my business for not gouging customers and being upfront...
the question is though, do you have to be mindful of the right size 17 wheel to ensure you clear the calipers? correct offset and width of the wheel itself?
yeah i cant stand GST/SET regions, the crap they force on you to take regardless of model.
and dont get me started on the TSS package in GST that is confusing poeple with the TSS 3.0 on toyota's
