This evening, True North was called into service for a very special mission at the request of Mrs. DukeCanBuildit. She wanted to know if I could take her for a drive to see some Christmas lights. For those who know, that’s a big deal. My ever-reliable Ranger provided all the comfort and transportation needed for her to enjoy the festive sights, just outside of the city, in a small village known for its Christmas displays.

It was the best thing I’ve done with my Ranger in quite a while.

Good on you and True North. Santa and Rudolph couldn't have given her a better gift.

I dunno, you're only showing one side.

Look at all the wrinkles from all that time in the sun

Wow! I didn’t know the FX4 has the steering column in the rear… does that mean it’s FWD?

As a moderator, @AzScorpion is obligated to ensure that this forum is a diverse and inclusive space, so he made his first Ranger trans-drive-train.

Yeah but it still wasn’t helpful - look at that crappy parking job.

No DEI allowed here.

I was testing out a new damper which obviously needs a little more R&D.

Left it sit in the carport awaiting the new drive shaft. Drove the CRV.

I heard you guys use a chemical called H2O and package it as 404 is that true?

Docs WD-40 ……

Our Santa Fe is great for road trips, but we can't get far off the pavement. Our Ranger gets us to all desired places off-road, but it's not convenient for road trip travel & packing. We went looking for something that can more conveniently do both . . .



Santa traded our 2020 Ranger Lariat SCab in for a new 2026 Toyota 4Runner Off-Road Premium (non-hybrid). Our dealer trucked it in from an out-of-state dealer nearly 250 miles away, for free. Had 7 miles on the odometer. We took delivery two days before Christmas.

R-R, That's a nice looking 4 Runner. This should work out better for you guys and you'll now have the best of both worlds on & off road. Hopefully you'll stick around and I'm betting the 4 Runner site isn't much better than the Tacoma site. lol

Thank God it wasn't a Tacoma!

It is nice looking!! That’s the same model and trim of what I am looking to trade the ranger in for, you’ll have to keep us posted on how you are liking it.

Tacoma? Thank God it wasn’t a Santa Cruz!

2026 is only the second year for 6th gen 4Runners. The forum is a bit slow compared to here.

It feels solid and built well with quality. Time will tell. Drives and rides nice on pavement. No off-road ventures yet, need to give it some break-in miles. Front skid plate and several other mods on the way. Level/lift kit and larger tires soon.

Should I start a new Thread here titled . . . "What I did to my 2026 4Runner ORP today" ??

I'd drive a Santa Cruz any day before a Tacoma!
