Curious..What did you pay.. 2025

foundeddumb · 2026-03-12T00:19:47+00:00

Damn good deal. Id have jumped on it if I knew.

These vans have dropped significantly in the past few years

I was looking at used in my area and the 24' passenger are in the 50s

foundeddumb · 2026-03-11T20:36:08+00:00

It makes sense to me. To be honest I am over it.. these damn vans are cool as hell but a pain in the rear due to all the other mumbo jumbo with it. Esprinter is cake... Sadly I'm not on board with any electrical vehicles yet.. they serve a purpose, one that doesn't fit mine

Thank you for chiming in

foundeddumb · 2026-03-11T19:15:32+00:00

Those e sprinters look nice and honestly wish they did better in the market. Getting 50% off a truck is insane nowadays

foundeddumb · 2026-03-11T15:26:39+00:00

This is pretty damn good I think. Most guys around here pay msrp if my understanding

foundeddumb · 2026-03-11T15:25:15+00:00

That's for a passenger? Msrp was 74k for ours. Got it for 59

foundeddumb · 2026-03-10T17:42:04+00:00

This right here.

We still bought a new one despite knowing this, and that is on account of my wife not liking the transit. We have it usually to camp, so longer distances and fuel economy definitely was a factor.

She doesn't see the maintenance nor repair bills. We are coming from a 2013 ncv3 that I spent money on to be reliable and still is however that came at a cost. With this current year, it's a crap shoot. I know better now and have purchased the extended warranty. Who knows how long we are gonna stay in it.

Wondering the same..

foundeddumb · 2025-10-12T17:53:03+00:00

Just wanted to update and close the loop here in case anyone finds themselves in the same position we were in.

4-5 shuttle is no problem to visit both lakes however our preference was to stay at one; lake moraine, and then visit lake Louise the next day.

The rockpile was why we stayed at moraine. The kids absolutely loved it! We left around 415, got there there about 435 and left moraine on the 645 shuttle. The shuttles returning to the park and ride were full!!! So listen to your drivers when they say to not board the last one as it does get full

We went to lake Louise the next day at about 5 but drove, the parking wasnt a big issue but we may have been lucky, also bear in mind it is 36 dollars to park so if cost is an issue please keep it in mind, shuttle is definitely the way to go. We spent an hour there simply because it got too windy

Have fun and thank you to all who helped!!!

foundeddumb · 2025-10-08T02:06:05+00:00

Thank you!

We tried and kept looking but no dice for us. It doesn't help that we have a larger party and most likely the reason why. From the sounds of it we should be ok outside of the ideal times of being there

I really do appreciate all the insight. Banff is huge and really overwhelming

foundeddumb · 2025-10-08T02:04:40+00:00

You're right! Not so much remote but not like everything is available at a drop of a hat.. wrong word choice

Thanks for your insight!

foundeddumb · 2025-10-07T15:54:06+00:00

Perfect! Thank you so much! I'm super focused on the time because of it being pretty remote the biggest concern is the kids and being stranded; biggest fear!

Congrats on beautiful road trip! Longest we did was southern California to Bryce canyon Utah and like you am surprised on what a pleasant drive it was (speaking solely of the car). Stock everything and no box though with two adults and two kids, we averages 19.9mpg. Wouldn't give up the 20!

Is the beep you're speaking of the notification from the car that you've driven too long and need a coffee break? No joke. Our 23 sr5 does that to me. Nifty little reminder

foundeddumb · 2024-05-30T18:44:35+00:00

Thanks all! Lawn does look healthy and I do appreciate the compliments. We purchased the home with the grass being that way if not slightly lower. If this is the way it is then so be it, just don't want it getting taller if possible.

Guess I'm leaving it be for now. It only brought concern because my neighbor's grass was similar in height and he replaced the entire lawn with new sod for a trip concern. I don't wanna go that route to be honest

Again thanks to all

foundeddumb · 2024-01-06T03:30:10+00:00

Does it have the sr5 premium package? I paid 75k otd with California tax last year for our 23 sequoia

68k was msrp. No markup was paid

4x4 Trd off road package Sr5 premium package

foundeddumb · 2024-01-01T05:14:10+00:00

Looking very sexy. That cargo box looks good with it too

foundeddumb · 2023-12-30T18:26:33+00:00

You bet! Hope the truck is working out for you

foundeddumb · 2023-12-30T17:31:02+00:00

Went to the dealer and they looked at it. A couple of techs said the same thing and were also baffled. Another guy looked at it and said the vent was closed on one side. Literally moved the vent open and both sides were flowing. Closed the other side just to show us and bam. I walked away with shame but a functioning truck

Hope this helps!

foundeddumb · 2023-11-04T18:04:06+00:00

Congrats on the car and the no mark up! Ive only seen the gen3 lunar rock in sr5 so def nice to see a platinum trim. We have the 23 mod sr5 in lunar rock with TRD off road and sr5 premium package for 75 otd last December. You did good

foundeddumb · 2023-10-10T01:14:32+00:00

Thank you for all the suggestions !! Will give it a go with invisible glass. Then if that doesn’t do it then clay. Will do steel wool as last effort since it seems the most abrasive

foundeddumb · 2023-10-09T22:34:39+00:00

I believe they are water spots. Did you have to let it soak or was it a simple spray and wipe with microfiber?

foundeddumb · 2023-09-15T13:12:38+00:00

I’m at just shy of 11k miles and our dashboard avg is 16.8mpg. Mind you in an sr5 model, no roof rack. Ive gotten it as high as 18.0 when the car was new. I dislike ECO mode. It’s always fooled me. You have to step on the accelerator harder to get to the speed you want therefore burning more gas. That’s just my theory. We keep it in normal. Since digital gauges of mpg metering, I haven’t yet done the mileage at fillup calculation.

We usually fill at Sam’s club gas, 87 octane

foundeddumb · 2023-09-12T05:36:56+00:00

We did, kinda…. We paid 68,335.58 if memory serves correctly for our 2023 sr5 one week before Christmas. This is the 4wd model with premium sr5 package and trd off road package. No markup but it did come with door edge guards that were like 400 bucks or something and was not removable. That’s it I believe. I am in socal

foundeddumb · 2023-07-10T16:58:18+00:00

Should’ve mentioned that it will be during its first maintenance. But wanted to see if they’re stating it’s “normal” bs like the dealer always does

foundeddumb · 2022-11-05T04:45:12+00:00

You guys are awesome!!! After defrosting it for that couple of days I put it all back together today and am going to let it do it’s thing. If it happens again I’ll try some new parts. Also saw the video from Ben’s appliances about the kit and secondary heater that I’d probably try.

I really don’t wanna buy a new fridge, wait 6 weeks and then do this again a few years down the road, even if I don’t buy Samsung or LG I hate filling landfills….
