Hi Guys - the Nightmare begins @7:18 As for the comments questioning why I'd wrap the 4Runner, the first reason is personal preference. I worked really hard, lots of overtime to purchase the 4runner and I loved and still do love how the green looks. Why wrap over paint? Well, it's less permanent, less expensive and it does provide paint protection from debris, environmental elements, etc. When the wrap is removed, it does not leave residue. We selected a high quality, custom Avery Wrap which we had no concerns with. Our issues were with the wrap installation and the shops lack of professionalism. Luckily we were able to fix most of the issues ourselves, but the point being that we shouldn't have had to.

Who the "F" buys a brand new vehicle and then has it wrapped to change the color? What were you thinking? How long is this vinyl cover going to last? Re-painting is one thing, but wrap? I just don't understand the logic here. There is no logic!
@hardnoxperformance11 ай бұрын
@@miqiee Logic explained in pinned comment. It’s very common to change the paint color. Wrapping is a noninvasive way to do so and it can last 6+ years while preserving the original paint. The wrap overall looks good but the execution was the problem here.

Interesting story. I would have stuck with the "ugly pinstripe" and the stock factory paint. My wife's new 23 CX5 PP almost immediately got an ugly parking lot dent on the FL fender. Still upset about that. The paint is intact so I won't even get it repaired and repainted or pull the fender well panel for a "paintless dent repair". Any time you pull any panel or trim it's not going to be the same afterwards. As far as Nitrogen goes, I have a compressor in my garage and put air in the tires in the fall and winter and let it out in the spring and summer. Also run our tires about 5 psi above the door post for better wear. It's still 5-10 psi below the max tire pressure on the sidewall. If the vehicle is riding too hard I let a couple of psi out. When towing with my truck I run max sidewall pressure.

Sorry to hear of all your issues - but great car nonetheless. I picked up a 2023 4-Runner rental TRD Off-road from Seattle for a road trip around British Columbia. Was interested to try the car (the 5th gen 4Runner never made it to the UK!) Despite it being an old design and powertrain, really loved that car - it felt absolutely bullet proof and handled the miles and rough roads perfectly. From what I read, the next gen will be a turbo, 4-cylinder hybrid - no doubt way more fuel efficient and probably quicker, but loads more to go wrong! I’d have the old one in a heartbeat! All best.

I'm so sorry and astounded at this experience you had! Unbelievable! One of the reasons I purchased a 2023 4Runner (Lunar Rock) is the unequaled reliability. I've had the same bad experiences from dealerships, service garages, warranty issues in my 60 yrs of driving. I never want to take my new 4Runner in for any reason just because I want all the shysters to keep their hands OFF my baby. I do all of the regularly scheduled maintenance myself because of the incompetence that you yourselves have experienced. The reliability quotient of the 4Runner should hopefully insure I won't need to take it anywhere for service, hopefully for the rest of my life. In the event I am required to take it in, I will tell them to their face that this is my baby and I will hold them accountable for any door dings, scratches, or other incompetences they inflict on my vehicle-and I WILL hold them to it. There is just no excuse for how you have been treated after paying that much money for your new 4Runner. I hope you are asking and receiving satisfaction from them for the issues they caused to include anxiety and frustration compensation!

The nitrogen scam!!!! How can dealers get away with this BS?? Lack of regulation right there. The big thing here is you allowed yourself to get scammed 4-5k on GPS, Edge guard and nitrogen! That is insane. Why would you pay that extra??? You have yourself to blame. The dealer walked all over you and you and your husband allowed it to happen.

Wow... Husband here, thanks for throwing me under the bus 😆.. I do agree with you though, all the crap the dealers add is a scam. Unfortunately the dealers don't wheel and deal when they have a list of people looking to buy the TRD Pro. It's what she wanted, and I spend enough on tools to not say no. On the plus side, with the GPS it can never get lost in a parking lot 🤣🤣

@@RLArtistrythe GPS is not what it’s intended to do. Dealers give you a line of BS but it’s really for locating your vehicle when you miss your car payments. Easier to repo.
