    Oh I have an affliction which my new wife said I have to cure, where I got a new car every two years... It had about 22k on it so hoping the Tundra is the cure!

    Love the 4runner; it is a solid vehicle. It is a bit limited on space. The 1GR-FE, while supremely reliable, isn't that great on fuel economy, especially compared to some of then newer truck engines.

    Yea and with 34's and lifted the tranny got a workout to keep it at 75!

    I do have the stock Bridgestones that have 20 miles on them if anyone is interested. Have to wait 30 days to post in the for sale but figured I'd throw it out there now!
    Will be installing the Bakflip F1 and bed-liner on Monday so will repost once that is completed!

    Welcome from Oregon! I made the same move for the same reason. Needed more room, and if you're getting 14mpg anyway, might as well get the Tundy. No regrets here either. The ONLY regret is that it does not fit in the garage like the Runner did...oh well lol!

    Ha I have a tennis ball hanging so I I know when to stop. Have 3 inches up front and 2 for the garage door! Minus switching places with the wifey all is good! Just gotta watch out after having one or two cold ones or I'll have more space!

    Question though does anyone else's back up camera look like the colors are faded out a bit? Just comparing to my old 4runner and the wifey's highlander. I have played with the contrast and brightness but nothing really changes. Wanted to check before being the OCD owner and going back to the dealership.
