Went to check out a 4Runner yesterday, realized why
Mar 1, 2021, 7:50 AM
|

I haven't bought a car in years. I hate dealerships.
We just wanted to see what the 3rd row in a 4Runner looks like. Took 30 minutes to get into one and look, 5 minutes to leave. No real help from the salesmen.
Apparently a 4Runner with a 3rd Row and Leather Seats are unicorns. We can find SOME in the wild, but it is dang hard to locate. They had one on the lot new, but no key and no info about it because reasons. I might would buy it too, but I might not want to deal with the Rock Hill Toyota place also. Also, dealer website inventories are trash.
Carvana looks great, but their inventory is pretty low on 4Runners that fit our needs too. CarMax has a used one not too far away but for some reason, I have always tried to steer clear of CarMax. Buying a car is too dang stressful.

You can always add leather.

Katzkin is quality and Toyota leather is typically thin. Not a big deal to add it if you find one that meets your needs w/o it.

5 years down the road when the kids have destroyed the cloth seats which is my wife's nightmare. Leather is a non-issue with me, I'm not fancy. But this might be a game changer, thanks dudes!!!!!

RH clearly has a local Rock Hill contact, likely one he used to coach in youth sports, who now has started up a boutique car theft ring and is willing to "acquire" the exact car Greenr wants for a really aggressive price. Does RH share that info with the entire board though? Nooooooooo.

Or, it could be that someone had the gall to steal one of my beautifully bleached skulls from a pike in my front yard over the weekend and I'm baiting a trap to replace it.
I guess we won't know until we know.

SUVs that fit my family without going Tahoe/Suburban.
Also, I'm not sure those would fit in my garage.
Pilot? Got one, going a slightly different direction.
Pathfinder? Nah, had a Nissan years ago and weren't pumped about it.
Tahoe? Too asspensive
Suburban? Too big
Explorer? Wife doesn't like styling and I'm not huge on it. Friend has one and don't really like it.
Traverse? Not sure about this one
I'm losing hope here. Might just sell a kid.

it's yours. Picture that rear window with a glorious combination of jam band and running stickers....that feeling you get when you get envious looks of admiration everywhere you go in Asheville....the security of not having to worry about other men hitting on your wife because they assume she's playing for the other team....

Three rows standard, and they're getting very good reviews. Has a pretty decent reliability rating from Consumer reports as well, and I actually like the styling on them. If I was willing to buy new, I'd sure go drive one. Resale isn't going to touch a 4Runner, but hey...what does?

either. We also bought an '11 Pilot so we have gotten cars we don't really like the style of previously, trying to get something we LIKE a little better this time. It may not happen though.

Wife would LOVE that, no matter if it is a good vehicle or not.
It's 4 or 5 times higher in cost than what I am probably looking for. Can you finance a G-Wagon for 72 months?

Walked in, they gave me a number, and I went home, Decided I wouldn't do any better, cleaned out my truck and came back the next day. 25 minutes later walked out to my uber with a big fat check. I thin they are a few grand high on their sales, but it really is no haggle. Some people are willing to pay for that.
4runner with 3 rows are going to be a special order. The body style I own (2003-2009) supposedly offered it, but I've neve seen one.

IMHO, 3rd row seats in any vehicle with a live rear axle
Mar 1, 2021, 9:38 AM
|

are pretty much for marketing purposes only. Wife of Greenr has visions of taking all the kids and their friends gallivanting all around York county while still being cool because it's not a minivan, but the reality is those seats will stay folded 360+ days of the year. I only know because I've been there too.

open to space the kids out. This is what we do in the Pilot now. 3 kids in a backseat and they fight like hell. It's a true fact.
The problem is traveling, which I think we can make work with a rooftop carrier or one of those hitch platform things. This isn't rocket surgery, but it is going to stress me TF out.
The 3rd row is uncomfortable AF, but the kids sit in a booster anyway.

the only ones that are actually useful are in the Infinity QX60 (seats even slide forward with a car seat in them), Haven't been in a Acura MDX but I would assume it's similar to a Pilot. Everyone that I know who has a Pilot has gotten rid of it and gone bigger (Tahoe, Expedition).

because of the price point and 3rd row.
I'm on my 2nd GX460. Reliable, enough room for the fam plus plenty of cargo room or 3rd row. Towing capability. I don't love it but I can't figure out what else I'd want and it has NEVER left me stranded unlike the Tahoe I replaced.

It's basically the same truck, but it has the V8 the 4runner should have.
