Hey everyone! I havent posted in a little while, but I've been trying to pass along info as I get it (which is sometimes right when it gets to the public!) Anyhow, I know not many of you are in Central Texas, but if you are and/or you know someone who is, we will have a 4Runner at our store tomorrow available to look at, drive, and get to know. For more info, email me at dringler  donringlertoyota.com - dringlerdonringlerchevrolet.com PS - the aftermarket leather options are great. We do them all of the time and they look just like factory... unless you want to make them look otherwise. Yes, Purple Ostrich accents are available!

Replying to: gt333 (Oct 14, 2009 7:15 am) I had leather put in a Tundra and frankly it was of a poorer quality and felt harder and more coarse than factory. I wouldn 't do it again. It cost then around $1000 or so if I remember, so my guess it would be more now. That was many years ago. There may be some better stuff out now, but I would recommend actually seeing it before it goes on to be sure you would be happy with it. It wasn't worth the cost in my opinion. If I get a Trail, I'll stick to the stock material. GM |

| Will there be a towing package (bigger radiator, tranny cooler etc.) offered for the new 4Runner or is it already included? | |
| Has anyone actually sat in the 2010 and confirmed that it really has more headroom than the 2009? And are the LED rear lights really gone? Anyone know why they went back in technology. | |

Some of Toyota's instruction videos for the 4runner owner are on youtube. It has everything from how to work the 4wheel drive systems to the stereo. Some videos are painfully obvious tasks like folding down the seats. Probably filmed for the same people that need the "Do not place over childs head" warning on plastic bags. This is the video of the test on the Rubicon Trail. Looks like a tough truck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-NheyAIR6I |

| Fyi, I am going to the Official Toyota 4Runner Launch for our region tomorrow. No details yet on how close we will get, which models will be on display or whether we will be able to drive any. I am in the Denver Region and the word is that we should expect our new Runners (of which we will get VERY few, I'm sure) by the middle of November. Everything I am hearing, and reading, about the 5th Gen has been very positive. We are expecting them to sell at sticker,if not a bit above. We have seen a strong demand for them, w/o even having them yet. My professional opinion for anyone who cares is that IF you can find one, which will be difficult, and it is offered BELOW sticker-DO NOT HESITATE. Buy it... | |

We had one here at the store last friday and we'll have another one here next week (Oct 26-30), but I'm not sure which day yet. I put up a few pics of the one we had at the store last week on our Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/pages/Temple/DonRinglerAutos/86493124904 ) The ride and handling is amazing and it looks great too! Also, regarding the leather, it's changed a lot over the past few years. Its still around a grand, but has a better fit/finish than it used to. I have some pics and a video of some aftermarket leather in a couple of vehicles. If you'd like to see it, just let me know!

Replying to: donringlerauto (Oct 19, 2009 11:57 am) Comparing this new 4runner to the highlander, the fj, the lexus gx, this thing has best bang for buck! All nearly same size, similar price. Was focused on highlander, but not anymore! Cant wait to get my hands on this baby |

Sorry for my stupid question... I have been waiting for the 2010 new 4Runner for quite a while. This could be my first SUV. Basically I am looking for an SUV with some off-road ability, which can handle snow, rain, unpaved road/trails, and other non-extreme road conditions. For my current budget, it looks like the SR5 edition (4x4 V6) is the best among those three trims. Comparing the specs between them, I found none of them has the "Automatic Limited-Slip Differential (Auto LSD)"; SR5 doesn't have the "Full-time 4WD with Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) and locking center differential" as in the Limited; nor does it have "Locking rear differential, Multi-terrain select and Crawl Control" as in the Trail. So my question is if the SR5 just looks tough or it is actually still a tough SUV comparing those popular crossovers. Thank you for any information! |
