New VVTi for 2005
Has anyone driven the 2005 4Runner with the upgraded V8?
270HP, 320 lbs torque, and supposedly a pretty nice jump in mileage.

BMW is way ahead of everybody, funny how everyone says they are problem prone, I got more then a few friends that drive pretty new Bimmers and they are nothin but an oil change every 15k 
Back to the VVTi, why is Toyota leaving the LandCruiser/LX out of the power upgrade

*edit* ...and you may have to look yourself on the lot, because the floor staff doesnt always know the trucks are there, or want you to know theyre there (ie sell the 04 back stock first, etc.)

Thanks to the internet, many customers know what they want and if the dealer has it, to go into a dealer not knowing what the cars have on them and what they cost is letting the salesman who knows practically nothin take advantage of you.
Most dealers hide the newer models in the back or on different lots, many people have no clue when it comes to upgrades or slight changes
