I didn't know it at the time because my normal break-in procedure is to just, take it easy, within reason for the first 1K miles. I've only ever owned one brand new vehicle. It was a 2016 Mustang that had 147K miles on it and ran amazingly, but I had to trade it in due to hail damage. After...

OP I know you didn't write the manual but why do they say to change out the 5W 20 at the next interval? Unless the weather is cold, its the number to the right that matters. Which, I feel is way too thin and is the recommendation in order to meet silly CARB restrictions or squeeze out as much...

I just did an 800 mile road trip with only 90 miles on the Odometer. After a few hours my foot was getting tired so I tried out the cruise control, remembering that a continuous speed helps het better gas mileage and that was something I was interested in boosting on the highway. Well, let me...

Updated Sept 11 with oil report analysis: _____________________________________ Original post: As the title implies, I just did my first oil change. It looked nice and gold coming out. The sample I saved is a bit darker but it could just be the lighting in my house. I'm going to send it...

I love it! Even if it completely diminishes the sarcasm of my previous post.

When I saw your license plate I didn't read "IV" as 4. I read it as IV and was gonna ask if you're a phlebotomist or did something in the medical field. LOL. Great writeup. I just drove mine from Georgetown, TX to Stillwater OK and back and don't wanna hijack your thread but rather give my...

This is the kind of thread that makes me angry. I just got my 4Runner Trailhunter and paid nearly full MSRP for it. That is an absolute rip off, no matter how much I love the truck, and i do love the truck, but still, nothing about it says it was worth $70K plus tax and BS garbage dealer fees...

LOL Just tood delivery on mine a little over a week ago. I had seen / heard the air intake noise in some youtube vids. Everyone was so excited. I took it for a drive at the stealership and the salesman was so excited. Me? IDK it sounds like a ridiculously cheap turbo. I understand the reduced...

Personally I'm hoping for Rental car blue, Rental car red, Rental car silver, and Pro Tan. That should hit the mark, offer something for everyone, while offending no one (Except maybe the Pro Tan).

This is great to hear about the discount, AND the customization. While most dealers can add / delete items as you just described, many are too lazy and either refuse, or try and charge you. Nice to see you found one of the good ones!

Cedar Park Toyota in Cedar Park Texas didn't markup the vehicle but they cried and moaned about "rarity" when I tried to get them to come down off of MSRP. They wouldn't even reduce the useless "dealer prep" fees and wouldn't give me the $500 veterans rebate unless I financed with them. I don't...

I just took delivery on Monday. Pretty happy so far. I don't seem to be able to upload any photos though. Or maybe, I do. Nope. Still uploading. It was my browser blocking the upload. Here are some pics.

It's so sad that so many people feel this way and believe it is true, especially in the USA. EVERYTHING is negotiable and to pay MSRP is just stoooooopid. You use 10 points under MSRP as a starting point. I work in the industry and the discounts you can ger are way beyond what you would imagine...

Not so much conspiracy theory as reality. Different markets, and different countries will alter build to spec, and for compliance reasons. Consumer trust, confidence, satisfaction and loyalty are not even in the top 10 factors for a dealer. Bottom line and how fast they can turnover inventory...

This is my first post on this forum. I had a stripped down 4Runner in the past that was 2WD, and uninspiring but was absolutely bulletproof and on TX roads with no off road adventures, was suited to task. It had no artificial engine noise pumped in. Currently I drive a Mustang GT which I plan...
