Goodbye RDX

My 09 has been throwing overboost codes when accelerating firmly to aggressively. Been in the shop twice and they can't figure what's going on and now I'm done. Traded the all wheel for four wheel drive today, picked up a 2016 4runner Trail Premium. Time to get back off road...... I'm out (dropping mic).

Did Toyota 4x4 for 28 years before moving to the RDX. Still eyeing the new Tacomas for a while now. Especially the 6 speed MT.

I like OPs choice. The new Tacos and 4Runners look really sweet. Some issues with programming in the Tacoma AT, but the 6 speed MT has been receiving great reviews. Toyota has the foresight to offer a MT throughout the Tacoma lineup.

I drove a 1986 Toy MT 4x4 pickup (only car I've ever bought new - $12.5k) until it was stolen in 1998. Then drove a 2000 Tacoma 4x4 MT until 2014, when I got the RDX. I miss that rock solid feel of true Toyota 4WD. Those things hold their value like nothing else too.

Congrats on the new ride. I love the new 4 Runner front end in the TRD Pro and the Trail editions. Hate the limited front end. At least Toyota is giving people choices.

We ordered a Tacoma TRD Pro in Cement 6MT. Looking to pick up our allocation at the dealer in November. It is replacing our 2010 Land Cruiser.

Toyota depreciation is awesome, certain models like the trucks have ridiculous resale value. The 4runner may just be the single best resale value vehicle I have ever seen. Period. 2004 base models with 200+k still go for 12-15k! It is insane. I seen a 2008 limited V8 with 120kms for 30k!!

I don't quite like the limited front end either. But I do like that it now offers some decent luxury tech.

You're getting rid of the Pig already?

You need to stop back by the 2G TSX General thread with pictures when you pick it up. That is exactly the truck I'd be buying if I were in the market currently. Love the color!
