Anyone because people give no fucks and those bumpers are still just plastic. They'll dent and scratch just like any other will.

I don't hate them. Don't necessarily love them. Some odd angles. Interiors are beyond due for a refresh at this point, very outdated. As is the 5 speed automatic trans. That's part of the appeal though, literally nothing will break on this because it's so old all the platform's kinks have been worked out at this point.

Hasn’t Toyota made 6 speeds or more that are competitive ? Say in a tundra or taco

Makes no sense to run that 5, then again they have record sales so why bother

Ah, I haven't seen any interior pics and I'm not educated on transmissions and stuff. I just go based on looks :gay:

That engine/5 speed combo has always been insanely bulletproof. In 10+ years with Toyota I'd say I only ever had single digits fail.

My buddy just bought a 4 Runner TRD, not the TRD Bro. Thing looks sweet. This guy knows NOTHING about cars, doesn't care that a 5 speed transmission is so 1999, doesn't drive fast, just wants the burly looks and wants it to start for 10 years....he doesn't :plac: Truck is perfect for him.

Hope he doesn't want a decent infotainment system designed before 2005.

The new one we rented while in Seattle a few weeks back was terribro on the interior and stereo head unit. All around that truck needs a 100% redesign to be comparable to something other than the Xterra, which is even older.

Nope. Can you play songs from your phone on it? That's all he would need. Apple Car Play, etc? :aintcare: Dude just DOES NOT CARE about the latest and greatest anything, be it number of transmission gears or anything else.

She said no to the Kia Soul and the Subaru Forester. So there's that. She's curious about the Prius, Rav4, and the smiley face Mazda3.

Might try and find a 5 cyl Sportwagen for her to check out. She loves station wagons. Used VW doe :thisisfine:

They could probably just pull a :doge: and refresh the bumpers, interior, and infotainment again and keep selling it for another 5 years. Agree the infotainment gets 0/7 flatbrim points. The gauge cluster with that TI-89 screen too, lol.

How did it drive, overall?

Barely.

The thing was brand new with 5 miles on it, but felt as old as my 2011 Xterra.

I used to be a pretty big Toyota fan, but the new stuff just isn't very nice IMO.

It was pretty unimpressive for a new truck. I did put it into 4H and throw some Woodinville mud on the truck, but it might as well have been my 2001 Tacoma TRD 4 door based on features.

What bit rate does your bluetooth transfer songs at ?
What is the best type of music you can store on your SD drive to play through speakers?
What is the pixel density of the infotainment screen?
Can you play soundcloud mixes?
Can you get live parking spot updates?
What about gas station info pricing?

WELCOME TO 2018 BROHAM. :gtfo: with that old man shit. :lol:

Oh, right.... :crang: new friend at that other dealer.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to hit him up.
