TRD Sport guys like me have the self-awareness that we use the car as a daily driver and of course will be prioritizing a smoother ride. While we won’t be off roading, we do go on light trails or sandy beaches. A trd sport is more than capable of that. You bought the trd off road but you don't go off roading thereby trying to pass yourself off as something you are not. By definition, you are a poser.
But the main reason you are a poser is because you judge people who buy cars based on looks. Buying a car based on how it looks does not make you a poser; it is every consumer’s right. All car owners exercise this right, even you. And who are you to judge anyone for it? Why would I buy a crossover if I hate the way it looks?
You bought the 4runner because you had “Little interest in hardcore off roading but lots of interest in bad weather ability, overall utility, reliability and durability.” I have bad news for you but by your own standards, you could’ve bought a rav4 with awd but you are definitely not ready for that conversation yet.
idk either. I think everyone just assumes if you get a Tacoma or 4Runner it has to be a hard core off roader. That may be fine if you live on the western half of the US. In the central and eastern half there just aren't that many off road opportunities. So while I am interested in a 4runner, it would be a Sport or Limited. why... well I want a smaller suv that can tow 5k lbs and take the family to the outer banks and drive out on the beach. I don't want the noise and harshness of a Jeep. I don't like Ford products and don't want the noise that comes with frameless doors and removable roof panels that I'll never take off. GM doesn't make a 4x4 unless you step up to the Tahoe/Yukon. Land Rover is really the only other option. The GX is overkill and the Land Cruiser is too bare bones and over priced or just flat out over priced in top spec. The 4runner is too but at least it's a price I could realistically afford.
I just received mine and in the previous version I would have never bought a trd sport but in the 6 gen man I am glad I did. I will blackout my wheels and dip the frond logo in black. It will be all black and looks so great and drive awesome!
I was a little Leary because my Sport premium doesn’t have the rear locker. I’ve owned several 5th gen and I got to thinking………have I ever used the locker? No. This truck has everything I need and some things I don’t but I love it. It’s the best Runner I’ve ever owned.
