'03 rig does quite well

***Corey*** · 04-01-2003, 07:16 AM

When I got to test drive one of the first '03 V8 4Runners in WA. state last fall, I thought it did pretty good.
Jon (TooEZgoin) and I had taken his new rig up to Greenwater to test it out.

However we did not test it like this rental here from a run last week.
See this post by Jataga, and check out the vids he has of the '03.

Seems it ousted a few other Toyotas with much higher ground clearance and tires.

I certainly would not have taken a new one on that rail if it was my rig.
I bet the rental company would have freaked

Some of those show the kind of mud that will snatch your shoe right off your foot. There must have been a bypass on that because I really doubt the 2003 would have made it through that stuff with highway tires.

Very entertaining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's about time the 03's gets some props!! hehe

well atleast there's another 03 out there offroading (although it's a RENTAL... ) am I the only nut out there takin the new 03 4runner out?!?!

indeed the new 03's can handle itself well all i have to say is i've impressed quite a few people out there.

even though the new 03's lost quite abit on the height, it still handles well!!
