Default Finally got my new Daily! and i love it!

Well after realizing that a civic with 2 kids with 2 car seats and having a stroller in the back and now having no room was not gonna work anymore. After looking at tons of different vehicles they all seemed blah and bland. (explorer,ugly pilot, golf wagon, subaru etc.) and then this i saw this about 6 months ago and absolutely fell in love.

2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD-PRO model. after doing some research and looking around for a long time trying to find this color (cement). it seemed everyone i found that was allocated or ordered were all pres-sold etc. this went on for a long time and i didn't wanna try and go to Idaho and get one lol. after just about giving up i found a dealership 2hrs from me that had this truck allocated to them with no ones name on it and without a 5-7500 dollar dealer markup and had the options i wanted. so i jumped on it and had it within 2 weeks. Tons of room for the family and the ride is awesome. Originally i thought buying a truck this style was gonna be and awful ride and fuel economy. This truck with its softer trd/bilstein suspension rides sooooo smooth no jarring or beating you up like a normal truck would. So far my gas mileage has been roughly 20-22mpg which isn't terrible considering i dont have a far ride to work so im happy with it. And let me tell you the color does not do justice in pictures. its absolutely gorgeous in person!!!

Nice! I'm on my 4th 4Runner - '87, '91, '96 and my current, an '08 Limited V8. Those TRDPro's are super capable machines. I hadn't seen one i Cement - great choice. The only issue.... it's waaay too clean. Perhaps a trip to the offroad park with me could remedy that?

Quite the upgrade.

That said, a Civic with two car seats is easy peasy - my wife did it for years. Tons of trunk room, too. I think you just wanted to get a new vehicle.

Car enthusiasts should never have to justify getting a different vehicle. Carry on, sir.
