NO, I would not give up off road capability for better mpg's. I personally am glad Toyota is going with the i-FORCE MAX system because I like power in my vehicles. If I can get the extra power with a little better fuel economy than a twin turbo V6 with V8 power and crappy fuel economy, then...
There is still a manual finger switch in every current Toyota that has the auto-engage/disengage parking brake. So you still have the ability to control when/if the parking brake is engaged if you don't want the factory pre-programed auto setting.
My dealership is also in the Southeast Toyota district. I agree with most of what he is saying. We handle allocations a little bit differently in that we have ONLY our Inventory Manager dealing with the allocation system. As such, he keeps a master list of vehicles wanted, and the individual...
No one has been able to get close enough to actually take measurements and confirm just yet, but a 17" wheel may be too small due to the size of the brakes, based on some of the videos. If a 17" does fit, it's gonna be super tight in there.
My dealership will be selling Land Cruisers at MSRP.
I actually have a fully loaded Bronco Outer Banks Sasquatch on order since last spring, after attempting to wait out the madness for a couple years. I then began trying to order in early 2022. We've also tried, for months, to find a fully...
Yes but the 4Runner's marginal on-road handling, dated chassis & passenger cabin, minimal modern features, terrible fuel economy, and lackluster power, leave a lot to be desired. Add the fact that the 2025 4Runner's all new design is only a year away, and the final year of the current 4Runners...
I guess I should also mention that for the last 3 1/2 years, I've been working in New & Pre-Owned Sales at a small, family owned, 3rd generation Toyota dealership in the Upstate of South Carolina. We DO NOT mark up our new vehicles beyond Window Sticker MSRP.
All of our new vehicles come from...
Looks like Toyota's new digital rear view mirror can be flipped back and forth between the digital rear camera image showing outside the rear of the vehicle, and the actual mirror that sees the back seat/cargo area and out the back window. That's what the interior videos of the new Tacoma are...
I don't like the digital rear view mirrors. Just weird having a mini HDTV showing me an HD camera image out the back - too distracting. Plus, I also use my rear view mirror to see in the backseat and cargo area. I guess I'm just getting old. ๐ค
Haven't ever owned a Land Cruiser, but was always a big fan of the older ones - I started to lose interest with the 100 series. Loved the old Broncos too. Actually tried to get a new Bronco ordered, still waiting for it after a couple years, then the new LC was finally introduced. I love the...
Power running boards can have issues with wintry buildup. Depending on how bad the crud is, they can sometimes break through the lighter icy layers to deploy. Most power running boards have a switch to leave them deployed, or to leave them retracted depending on weather conditions. I only...
The current Ice Edge is a metallic paint, and is a very very light gray color - you have to get up really close to see the tiny metallic flecks in that particular paint. Looks real sharp, especially with black trim.
OK, my guess was wrong. The Ice Cap is a flat, nonmetallic WHITE, according...
