3 years ago on a friday night a drunk driver in a 2012 Camaro changed lanes into me and managed to end up in the same predicament as that mercedes. At the time, I was driving a Freightliner Cascadia with a DD15 Detroit diesel and an automatic DT12 transmission cruising at a steady 55-60mph. The ONLY reason why I…

You know, its funny reading your opinion with 0 experience with driving trucks. I drive them day in day out and I can tell you these things don’t relate to your theories. The only thing that slows these big rigs down is a 5% grade at 40 tons. These trucks cruise down the roads in their torque bands and could give two…

So you’re comparing 2-500hp car that makes about 2-500 lbs ft of torque to a big rigs 15 liter 2-600hp diesel engine that generates a whopping 1800-2100 lbs ft of torque? Combined that to gear torque multiplication which means that the engine is putting down gobs of torque, you’d think a truck capable of easily…

Oh yes. They increased "pay and benefits." 2-5 cents per mile isn't any kind of incentive when the average driver drove 8,000 miles a month. A whopping $100-$400 is only covering the extra value meals at McDonald's vs the dollar menu on the previous pay.

2007-2013 long bed double cab Tundra. I know that slinky look anywhere. You can tell its a Tundra with the camera distorting its shape a bit. The Tundra lower white taillight is very prominent and the rear axle to bumper ratio.

Never. Maybe expect a shitty turbo 4.

And not an ounce of care was given to that JZ powered Cressida behind that skyline.

So Toyota paid BMW to do their homework... 

These trucks are a shit ton more reliable than the current emissions scam trucks they got now. That’s why theres a market for these kinds of trucks and you can’t blame the people behind this. If anything, the EPA should be punishing truck manufacturers for designing a shitty half baked emissions systems and then…

Shorter wheelbase than a FRS? WTF?

Yeah because screens and cameras never die. All this proprietary electronic safety crap is planned obsolescence on something that depreciates faster than a sinking rock in the ocean. 

The Suburban doesn’t get 19mpg real world. Try 13ish just smashing around town. That goes for the other monsters on that list. My FJ riding on 35" knobby tires, loaded up with armor from nose to rear doesn’t do any better than that and it can fit in the glovebox of a Suburban. This is just 1.7 million vehicles…

I kinda replicated the old Toyota stripes on my FJ and I love it. I still have to redo the silver stripe since it practically disappears in different lighting and angles.

I'll take them all, thanks.

Old thread and boring night. The starter on a newer V8 like the GX470 takes me literally 1.5 hours to replace. Its the same setup as a 1998 GS400. I replaced the original starter ln that which had 200,000 miles. None of the EGR crap applies to the VVTI engines either.

Lay one finger on that plastic dash and it may shatter. Im surprised at how clean this thing is considering the regular versions of the GM versions broke down into the plastic pellets they were moulded with.

I especially love those losers who merge onto a freeway and go straight to the left lane whether the freeway is full or empty. On a side note, those idiots that merge on the highway and nail the brakes on the onramp deserve 1 year of boot camp.

Looks pretty dorky to me. Enough of this big grill crap.

Back in 2006 when i bought my first FJ Cruiser we in the forums established a wave at each other. It worked up until more of the less enthusiastic people bought them because of the SUV craze. Now i only get waves from literally most purposely modified 4x4s in general. You ca tell the posers from the wheelers. I guess…

Aactually, sales numbers for 2017 4runner exceeded 100,000 units.
