I want one soooooo badly, but it's just not in the budget right now.

If I did get one, my plans would be.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

It's bad-ass as is... get the factory installed and warrantied supercharger and keep it well maintained until the warranty period is over. THEN start tinkering.

i just called my local dealer....they're retards down there, i got some guy and asked him when they expect the 2005 tacoma's in and he did not know so he handed it off to what he called the dealers "tacoma expert" so i asked him when the 2005 tacoma's came in, he said he did not know then he put me on hold and told me they should be in about 1.5 to 2 months from now and to show you what an expert he is he said "i think they might be changing the body style for 2005" http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doah.gif but what more could you expect from a dealer?

Well my toyota dealer had an auto fair/show a couple of weeks ago. I asked them a few questions about the X-runner. I figured that they wouldn't have a clue about the X-runner. The salesman actually surprised me and told me that he too has been waiting on some brochures, but he hasn't recieved any yet. I was just glad he knew what the X-runner was.

07-15-2004, 10:29 PM

Luckily my S is all paid for so I'm deciding on getting one in the next couple of years depending on how much I save and what not, and turn either the S or the X into a project truck. Still don't know though. My roomate is seriously looking into it and has been to the dealer here in SD so he can trade in his 2.4 taco for one. They don't know what an X is though... http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I love my prerunner, but that x-runner makes me think twice.

Of course Id like one in a double cab and lifted with a V8. I mostly want that interior......and exterior.......and hood scoop......and hot chicks in the back.

some dealerships here in san diego are pretty stupid all they know is about sale,they dont know what a s runner/or x runner is they think a taco is a taco

kauaitoys

07-16-2004, 01:12 PM

okay, nobody sell their s-runner just yet! although toyota america is announcing that their x-runner will have more HP and an available S/C, TRD "has not" okayed the release of a S/C for the x-runner yet because the new motor does not take well to boost pressure. also, more stock HP doesn't mean a faster truck because it'll also be "heavier" than the current runner. as far as release, it's tentatively set for september but pricing is still to be established, however, i don't expect leaps and bounds from the manufacturer. why do i know? i'm the sales manager at kauai toyota (toyota Hawaii) yep, one of CT's own here to help give all the boys all the insight i can. anyone have purchase questions. i'll be more than willing to give advise on what you are being told by your dealers. you can also e-mail me at work dann@servco.com with any questions or call me at work dan nanbu at (808) 245-6978. i'll make sure all the CT boys aren't steered wrong!!! check out my gallery and s-runner when you have time to . . . looking for the 11's ALOHA!!!

07-17-2004, 12:15 AM

I am honestly considering an XRunner (for the shear fact that I want the V6, something bigger than the 04 taco, and a stick... Wow, it seems the XRunner meets my criteria so far.... I swear, if Toyota keeps the pricing the same as the SR, I'll likely find myself in a nice XR.

oh, I just noticed Jeff changed it to S-Runner/X-Runner Talk. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

Either you or I will be! The more I see the XR, the less I'm thrilled. Listen again to the on-stage hype when the truck was introduced on that vid. "No post-production modifications are necessary."

'Scuse me!?

The speaker says that four liters and two hundred forty horsepower arrive in stock trim, with an available supercharger option which brings the horsepower into "the neighborhood of" 300. Great shakes! Depending upon the size of that "neighborhood," plenty of SC'ed 3.4's are doing that with less weight to propel.

No, I don't know what the XR weighs, but with a 5" wheelbase stretch and a 4" greater track, the truck's gotta weigh substantially more than our 32,000-plus lbs.

OTOH, the lateral-G numbers are very impressive! I can't wait to get specs on that truck, just for curiosity's sake. If those are really 18" wheels on it, I wonder how much they along with the tires weigh. Sprung ounces matter @ .9-G's.

nah its a legit comment!! his camera is definately 1000x better than mine, and over the net and with pictures/digital pictures its impossible to compare color anyway.

Once we get a hold of the paint code#'s and/or get to see a S and X side by side then we could tell if theres any difference.

Sorry for asking you this, but what was the sticker price on that truck? I just called my local Toyota Dealer and they said they will be getting ONE of them so I want to know what I'm up against. My S runner has been fun and all, but I think it's time to trade in.
thanks

hi guys, sorry for no replies, I've been very busy lately, hopefully I'll get you some pix of the x-brace soon, it's nothing too special, just links basically the middle of the truck to each side of the chassis. Maybe I should set one up on my ae86 http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't think that sticker price matters if you're talking to a dealer that is only going to get one. Remember when the evo came out and they marked them up 10k?? Anyway, the price of the car is SUPPOSED to be 23k.

I could not help but notice the TRD "big brakes" on the X runner. Does anybody know if these are to be available on the other 05 Tacomas? I really have not been impressed with the Taco brakes on my 02 double cab. Will TRD have these available for after market?

Hi, I'm Robert. I traded in my 99 XLE V6 Camry for it last night. My camry had tokico struts and eibach springs and the trd RSB. On 18's with 225/40/18's. This truck outhandles it tenfold. And it's way more comfortable than the camry overall. Sorry no pics yet but I'll get some up tommorrow. I heard of this site through toyotanation. SN over there is trdcamry2003. Anyone got any links to some upcoming aftermarket parts for this truck. I'll definitly be abusing the search button tonight. I look forward to posting here at customtacos, thanks for reading.

I work at Moreno Valley Toyota as a Sales rep. I sold it to myself. LOL
The sticker price incl. dest, hand, and floormats was 23,805. I don't have the big brake kit yet. I have one allocated that should be at my dealership in less than a week. We do not mark them up. First come first serve. If you want to buy it before it arrives I can arrange that. I'm pissed that they drilled holes in my bumper for the plates I will make sure to let the mechanics know not to drill any in the future cus it sucks.

The speedometer says 120, I've hit 110 by accident. It get's there incredibly fast. Still trying to break it in. Right now I'm at 300 miles on the ODO. The gas light came on right at 300 miles. When I topped it off it said I put in 17.9 gallons. I'm not too sure what the actual amount it holds.

10-25-2004, 06:15 PM

I've driven S-runners we had before for sale and I can say for sure that it is alot faster. Totally different truck. Way better handling too. You'd probably have to have a supercharged s-runner to keep up with the XR.

the handling, yeah i can believe that.

as far as quickness, i'd have to see some solid numbers to believe a S/C is needed for the s-runner to keep up! time will tell, and im anxious! http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I like the red. I have the radiant red Dcab from 02 which I had to special request because nobody in south even new the color was available, they had never seen one. Did you get the big brake kit? How much if so?

cam2Xrunner

10-28-2004, 03:28 PM

I don not have the big brake kit yet. I am pissed at the size of the stock brakes, they are ridiculous. The prerunners get huge brakes with 4 piston claipers. Yet their sport truck gets the 4cyl regular brakes. They are pathetic. That's my only gripe about this truck. But I guess that can be fixed. I'm sure the big brake kit will cost as much as they did for the tundra which is 2,000 over at www.toyotaparts4u.com (http://www.toyotaparts4u.com)

jborzak

10-28-2004, 04:01 PM

I'm sure that price makes sense as related to the Tundra. I can't beleive they did not at least give the prerunner brakes. Its just amazing Toyota does all the hype on the X and its big brake kit but its not listed in any of their options, specs, or accessory section. Is the TRD big brakes suppose to be a dealer added option only? I guess TRD is always treated as after market.

cam2Xrunner

10-28-2004, 04:29 PM

The trd brakes will only be sold through dealers. www.toyotaparts4u.com (http://www.toyotaparts4u.com) is almost the same price as the employee discount. If I didn't work at the dealer I'd get it there. I want to call some companies like stoptech, wilwood, baer, and brembo and see if they might be interested in using my truck to design a big brake kit.

cam2Xrunner

10-28-2004, 04:48 PM

I just called Stoptech at their HQ in torrance. And asked about a big brake kit. The guy on the phone said that they designed the big brake kit for TRD and TRD is just rebadging them. I asked if they would be cheaper to buy directly from stoptech and he said it would probably cost more to do it through them(stoptech).

lol, i looked at a blue truck and it was really really blue, too bright for my taste.

it's a really quick truck tho. i took off from a stop light making a left hand turn and gave it about 75% gas, and the tail of the truck slid around perfect and smooth, ever sense then i'd had the biggest smile on my face.

i love it, and it's got more luxary inside then some lexus cars.

Kgrgunman

11-05-2004, 06:19 PM

the truck cost $23,830 that was the MSRP on the door and they would not budge from that price.

and the curb stop thing is because my mom kept parking her van so close to the garage door that you could not walk around the car (no, she never hit the door) and one day my dad saw one of those that was not bolted down, so he took it and set it there, so now my mom does not park so close, and you can walk around her car, lol

lol, albert, you know me, i'm the safest person there is. i never take any risks, i always drive 5MPH under the speed limit, lol, thats why i bought an X, not so i could speed/drift/take corners amazingly fast, but so i could drive slow. http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evil.gif

i love this truck, i keep trying to find any reason to go drive it, and because of that, right now i have to go drive so i can get a candy bar.

lol, to tell the truth, when i was test diving some other 05's (because they did not have an XR's) the sales person asked me if i was going to do any offroading in the X-runner, lol

ok, now back to real life, albert, who was that guy you bought your turbo from? http://www.CustomTacos.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
anyone in so. cal willing to make a totaly 100% custom exhaust manifold? i'll pay cash if not, i'll hit up benz-boy
i have to go measure to find out how big of an intercooler i can fit...

Since you asked, I do have hokups with JP Performance. They make some killer exhaust. Awesome work. Check out www.jpperformancellc.com (http://www.jpperformancellc.com)

They want to do a full system on my truck geared around the trd supercharger. They have experience on the Toyota camry/solara exhausts with superchargers. But they mainly do BMW and Mercedes work. They could do a custom setup for you however you wanted it.
