I love all kinds of cars. If you have at an old photo, I’m the person who is identifying the cars in it! 😉 I have built up a collection of some family heirlooms (1965 Olds Delta 88 and 1985 Buick LeSabre Collectors Edition.) Plus some reminders of favorite cars of the past. (1978 Ford Bronco, 1985 Pontiac 6000 LE, 1986 Pontiac 6000 STE, and 1993 Toyota Celica GT) my modern rides are a 2021 Toyota 4Runner and 2023 Corvette Stingray. Please don’t make me pick a favorite!

Can you share how much to PPF the entire car with the 10mil thick XPEL? I got a quote for my 4Runner and it's 50% more than the last car they did for me--granted it was a RAV4....thanks!

@Glasscitycarnerd 12 дней назад
They are a Toyota part. They are on the Monroney (sticker). They may be a US only part as the dealerships in the US are split into different regional distribution companies and Toyotas have slight option/price differences depending on the region you buy in. I’m in the Central Atlantic region, so a dealership there may be able to get you the part number if not available in Canada.

Got a TRD ORP in Underground in the end of March and have 6500 miles on it and I love it so much, it came with the Pro rims and planning to add the heritage grille. I’ve heard some mixed reviews of the Toyota dashcams because you apparently need to use their app and the SD card is very small. I went with the Garmin mini dash cam and it’s been amazing… super discrete, great quality, and I can view the live feed as long as I’m nearby and have service. Love your channel!

Thank you for watching! I haven’t had any issues on this or the 21 I recently sold. I’m a big fan of the camera but you do need their app. It’s a micro SD with an adaptor.

I was all in on the 2025 redesign until I started scrutinizing the differences. -Complex turbo 4 cylinder -Objectively less cargo space due to seat folding changes and hybrid battery storage. -Smaller backseat ( despite an increase in length of the vehicle ) -Less ergonomic controls. More functions buried deeper into the laggy touch screen system. - guaranteed dealer mark ups for the first year or so. Expect higher msrp too. - little to no after market support due to being a ground up redesign. I put a $1000 deposit on a 2024 model expected to arrive next month. It's not that I think the redesign will fail. It's just new and unproven. Too many design decisions are based on overly burdensome government regulations rather than customer satisfaction. The only aspect of the new one that seems outright better rather than just different would be MPG, but it remains to be seen if that's a big difference. The new Tacoma is getting only a couple mpg more than the previous gen.

Got a 24 TRD off-road premium about 2 months ago, Barcelona red, was not looking for a vehicle at all at the time, but ended up learning this was the last year for this version of the 4 runner, spent a weekend researching which model would suit me best, found one the next week & now it's in my garage. Crazy how it all worked out, but so thankful & grateful to have been able to get my hands on one, now my 98 Tacoma has a yota buddy!!!! 😊

Congrats on the 4runner beautiful rig. You mentioned fluid film to the under cathage which i did to my 2016 4runner but when I purchased my 2023 4Runner the I had the dealership do waxoyl treatment to the under cathage because like you we live in the rustbelt of NH. waxoyl is a better product and lasts much longer than fluid film,just figured you would want to know. Good luck
@Glasscitycarnerd
@Glasscitycarnerd 12 дней назад
Thanks. I looked into that, but I like the thinner nature and I reapply the Fluid Film each fall and my 21 looks brand new. The tech at the dealership complimented it and said, “Whatever you are doing to treat the underside, it WORKS, keep doing it!” They are both good, and both do amazing at preventing corrosion.
