I disagree. QC hold is one of the reasons why Toyota is as valuable as it is. you want a manufacturer to push out unreliable products and make you deal with the headaches I suggest you try ford.
Look from what you’re telling me about ur budget and scratches I don’t recommend doing hard off-road wheeling then. Twigs sticks paint pinstripes are part of the game if you’re really into off-roading. Running boards will stop sticks I guess. I recommend just some easy dirt roads at max for...
nice post and write up. I really appreciate well made aftermarket products. not a fan of the Temu style cheap stuff. love the build. I personally do inside car camping but you have such a legit set up. you must be making alot of money because that build is not cheap!
honestly sounds plausible because the trd offload rims are an American after market part and I think they get put on at the port here., bypassing the Japanese testing.
finally some real off-roading.. if you had 2 sets of traction pads you'd be out.. first order of business is better tires with a side walll. nittos are the best but a set of K03s or wild peaks would do you alot better. also if your really offloading take off the running boards all they do is...
Some things never change. my 5th gen had a steering wheel shake from 60-65 mph.(just google it). I had to replace the needle bearing at my cost with less than 5k miles to fix it. really disappointed Toyota is not addressing the last gen nor this brand new model. its not the tires, something...
honestly this.^. To be honest OP it sounds like a grand Cherokee trail hawk or a ford timberline or the ford expedition might be more up your ally with the family . the outer banks has some soft sand so I wouldn't go lower then the trailhawk/timberline imo.
ill just say this: my 5th gen would damn near wreck me and my vehicle if I accelerate at a chop up road heading onto a highway near where I live. downright dangerous. the vehicle is just not designed to handle road chop. honestly the road characteristics of the 5th gen was why I sold it. its...
I owned a Durango a generation before yours, thing was a complete lemon and dangerous. one time on a curvy rode is just shut off and no power steering.
(I also posted on reddit). So my 5th gen is sold. I car camp in the summer and sometimes (alot) I need to run the engine to give me some AC/heat. The 5thgen would idle so rough it could keep you up at night. I like the hybrid because I assume, like the Prius, that it can use the AC at night...
if your just doing a quick camp at your height its actually better then the 5th gen (I owned 5th) with non hybrid. lay sideways and your head will be near the door jam, then just put a blanket or two to prop your head up and you've got a flat sleeping space. 5th had a bump, and also after...
that first year model saying is a real thing, damn. to be honest I think toyota has overwhelmed itself. it has come out with so many new model vehicle so close to each other its incredible. They deff are overlooking stuff. corolla cross, rav4, 4runner, taco, tundra all within 2 years.
you can find a 24 4runner they don’t die and will work just as good as new, just change out the head unit for like 300 bucks and it’s the same as a new tech car. Honestly tho if you are cross shopping a rav4 or highlander and that’s checking all your boxes, maybe a 4runner wasnt the best fit for...
