That's a great idea, but I honestly can't foresee myself turning my car into a trailer queen. Yeah... I'm an anal faggot, but that's besides the point. If I had plans of making stupid power with it, that would be a consideration, but I think the most that car will ever make will be ~330 RWHP--more than streetable.

Well I can't get a four door FJ Cruiser and I can't get a 4WD Edge. So we's gotsa a problem her'. AWD will be more than adequate for what I want to do. In fact, I'll be much better suited than what my Father has been for the last 20 years. For as long as I can remember, he's used mini-vans to pull the balloon trailer and I think he's gotten stuck once.

The AWD is also fantastic in the snow. (At least mine is.) And I heard it snows like once or twice a year in Michigan or something.

Brock, the 4Runner can come with either a V6 or V8. The V6 option is the same motor that the FJ Cruiser has. If you want to come up here sometime next week and test drive either one lemme know, and I'll get ahold of a dealer tag.

No where did I ever discuss price, or selling him a car. Nor do I even work in sales. Reading is fundamental.

That's good to know, I figured it would be. And yeah... it only snows once or twice a year in Michigan. Especially in the lake effect snow belt where I'm at!

I'd be highly interested in doing this, but I want to be clear that I'm not in the position to be signing anything at the moment. I don't want to be wasting anyone's time or anything as I would be coming up there based on curiosity/comparison only.

I priced out the limited with everything except for AWD and it was $32K through AAFES

I'll talk to one of the sales managers and see if they can get me a dealer tag. Shouldn't be an issue, and then I could just take you on a test drive, so that way a salesman doesn't feel like he's wasting his time.
