I Did A Road Trip In A Lifted Beater Toyota 4Runner
This weekend I drove our twice-totaled, thrice-bent, 1996 Toyota 4Runner jacked up on bastardized pickup truck suspension from New York to Philly to the Pennsylvania woods. And somehow, back again. All I know is I’m still high on fumes and farts and gas station hot dogs.
We Adopted A Terrible Toyota Truck To See How Reliable They Really Are
This is no diamond-in-the-rough. It's not an "oldie but goodie" like Bowman's well-storied Ram. This ravaged third-gen 4Runner a mean-muggin' non-fucking-giving beater, and now we have the arduous task of taking care of it. Or, you know, destroying it.

Toyota "didn't have room" for me at their TRD Pro party in Las Vegas last month, so we'll have to experience it vicariously through Roman Mica. He was the first non-Toyota employee to take the TRD Pros into the dirt, and he was kind enough to tape it for us.
2014 Lexus GX 460: The Truck Yeah! Review
Like its close cousin the Toyota 4Runner, the Lexus GX 460 really feels like a truck thanks to body-on-frame construction.

Mud Slingin' In The Mountain Air Makes For One Hell Of A Wallpaper

The 2011 Toyota 4Runner was spotted out in California wearing a thick suit of camo-armor. The new 4Runner seems to retain the shapes which make it recognizable, along with a revised hood-line and headlights.
