Well hell, the engine that is going into the GX is having problems with main seals......not good. I'm starting to get cold feet. I might jump to the 2025 4runner, and the wife can get the GX in a couple of years when they get things ironed out. If somebody hit my Jeep today I think I would get a 2024 4Runner after driving my son's over the weekend. It is supposedly the last V6 before they experiment with a new little motor. Maybe they will call it the "Little Engine that Could." I had a 2020 and it was under powered. But that V6 will likely last forever.

Do they still put V6 motors in the new 4Runners or did they go to the 4-cyclinger turbo version?
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Lexus put a 30 day hold on the GX, then bumped it to a 56 day hold...... for a sunroof drain. The hold went hand and hand with the Tundra hold for engine problems. I've got to wonder if the hold for the GX is really for the drain and not the engine that it shares with the Tundra....

SA, I expect not. they got a boatload of motors with QC problems. I remember when Honda came out with first car - no heater so they chopped up an actual boatload of them.

Gonna head to toyota and probably get on the list for a 2025 4runner, the wife can get a GX if she wants it when they get things figured out. I don't know if I want to drop 85k on a car with a questionable engine...... resale value will drop too.

I was offered one yesterday, but didn't have the interior we wanted. The dealership finds them a home before they are built, and it takes a month and a half to get here. Maybe we'll get one by the fall.

The neighbor has a 2021 Toyota land cruiser. It has a classic look with the bronze wheels. I want to do the same with the wife's car when she gets it. It will come with 22 inch wheels with very little rubber. I know how the wife drives, and can tell you it won't be long before she cracks, or blows out those tires on a curb....I want more tire, and less wheel. What do yall think about this look. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/11/full-32382-436697-screenshot_20241114_151823_duckduckgo.jpg)

If you like it, then do it. I personally don't like the bronze on white...looks much better on a black vehicle to me...white needs black wheels.
Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel
