All I see is a turbo man I don't know what you implying lol!

 

So you both missed this exchange?

This is a reference to a common quote that begins "Never argue with an idiot...."

I mean, clearly an Alternator generates more power than a transmission. This is just basic stuff.

 

The same is true of the AE86. I love mine, but it’s not a driver’s paradise. It can teach you how to drive a slow car fast.

 

yea idk why they used pictures of a differential and a power steering pump... probably just an oversight by who made the pic

 

Whoa whoa whoa.... not so fast.

I looked at that very, very quickly and it's designed to fool people....

Clearly that's an alternator and transmission.

 

 

With a 5 speed

 

i don't think they look great, sorry.

exactly... i have no idea why someone would spend so much on an lx. they're just not that special for that kind of money.

 

I think they look great from the front but that's about it for presence. It's too small.

The rear is a snooze fest, big time.

Crazy how much the competition has improved. LX570 was competitive at a time. It took 3rd place in 2015 in a MT comparo and there were quite a few things they liked about it.

No, but I agree.

A 5 speed manual makes it probably a 1/2 million mile truck if taken care of


I don't know why people spend so much on a lot of other stuff too. Lol

I guess if people have lots of money to burn it's no big deal.

 

I think the new LXs look absolutely fantastic, much as I do the new Sequoia. There are shortcomings in both vehicles, though, but for me, styling isn't one of them.

 

i like the sequoia's looks better than lx, but both have horrendous interior packaging, especially the sequoia.

i think jill meant 5 speed auto like a 4runner.

"lots of money" is relative. i certainly never thought i'd spend a hundred large on an lc500. but ya know what, after agonizing for months i thought f-it life is unpredictable and short.

 

Would be amazing with a 5 speed manual and V8 with full time 4WD.

 

I want a 6-speed with left side reverse personally.....I also prefer 2WD/AWD/4-Hi/4-Lo transfercases vs full time. You can't light up the rears with full time and that ruins a lot of the fun of a manual

 

I'm so glad my truck is part-time. Running in just 2wd on pavement is great, and then locking it into 4wd when I actually need it. I try and engage it about once a month or so to keep it all fresh.
