I had a 2007 Legacy GT SpecB and my wife a 2009 Legacy 2.5i. I was more of a fan of subarus prior to my ownership of the two cars. I think they are great cars on paper but my general sense that I got was that they are not the best from a reliability/durabillity standpoint. The EJ255 motors were...

I guess you guys missed the point. didnt say everyone needed a freightliner. I said the current mid-sized trucks are a low bar. When trucks much larger, heavier, and more powerful can achieve similar mpg’s for not much more money, its pretty apparent the mfg’s could be doing better. nissan...

Its a low volume model. And not its not meh, but the interior and other items are still the same old same old. Its foundation is still based on a fairly meh truck. And, as a truck, the ZR2 is somewhat useless. Its Payload capacity is very low, and its tow rating is handicapped. So its off the...

How long is it going to take you to hit 400k miles? I can tell you right now that it would be an extremely long time for me. Like I might be a great grandfather by then, and I just turned 33 :ROFLMAO: . I put 7500 miles on my F150 last year and did ~12 to 13k in my Lexus GX since Feb 2020...

That is effectively what this 4Runner is. A 2011 Port injected 4.0 lol. Toyota's body-on-frame trucks are almost as old as the dinosaurs at this point and its pretty apparent when you drive them. My Lexus GX(based on the same frame as the 4Runner) is ok, but it was used and I wanted something...

Nice wheels

I mean, the bar is not exactly set all that high by the competition. The tacoma, aside from being the sales leader, isnt exactly a strong contender. Colorado has a decent driveline but is otherwise meh. And Ford's ranger is solid but still a bit long in the tooth and seems to just be getting...

I started growing gray hair when I turned 18 :ROFLMAO:. I'm 33 and am more gray than anything and now my beard is going too.

99% difference. I doubt they share many parts except for interior doodads.

That bronco does has a serious amount of articulation in the front for being IFS. My GX has KDSS, so basically swaybar disconnects, and doesn't flex anything like that. But I don't think it was better than the rubicon. Not that it matters. If you have lockers than having infinity flex becomes...

Ha. I was gunna make that comment. I run 20 psi on the way to the trails. Then drop down to 15 in the summer and 10-11 in the winter snow wheeling. Any lower than 12 for me and my wheels will spin inside the tire with enough traction lol.

I hate to say it, but I would have a hard time buying any of these things for $50k and beating them offroad. i have a hard enough time offroading my 2011 Lexus GX that I bought for $20k. Thats why I bought a 1995 4Runner that already had rusted out rear fenders :ROFLMAO: I hit trees and...

Misfire and lean codes? Im gunna go with there being a tear in the intake tubing post MAF sensor. Its getting more air than it thinks causing the lean running which in turn is causing detonation.

Except for the V8, permanent awd system with torsen center diff and standard KDSS. All things that make it somewhat comparable.

I mean, when it comes time to sell, you will be in the same boat. The LC will have retained a ridiculous value and the LR will not. The GX460 is more reasonable, although the prices have skyrocketed in the last year. I bought mine in Feb 2020 for $20500 before tax. 2011 with 72k miles. I...

Lexus GX460 is basically an LR4 without all the headaches.

Are you gunna buy anything else? And there are problems. Cam tower leak, common with the 5.7L as well. There is a water jacket leak that can occur under the manifold that is a serious PITA from a time/labor standpoint. Rear main seals seem to leak sometimes. And secondary air pump failures...

Even compared to the 4Runner. I bought it because, for similar year and miles, the GX was a few thousand cheaper it seemed like. i have a feeling that may be coming to an end as the popularity increases.

Right. Like why ask if the decision is already made?

I have a 2011. I dont know that I would recommend it unless you have a specific set of needs, and that is the ability to offroad and tow. If you dont need those two things(or even just one of them) I think there are better options out there. Its not a particularly good handling or efficiency...
