LOL. Is that a thumbs up..... or is it what I think it is ? Thanks for the advice, but right now I need a daily driver. And I'll confirm on the money pit.... Just Empty Every Pocket .... damn thing started falling apart around 130K and its been downhill ever since. I'm actually embarrassed to drive it into work now..... plus I'm pushing the 50 mark and need to grow up---go easy on me, this is like changing religions.
And yes, I realize the '06 has the VVTi engine. I test drove the GX 470 recently and was impressed with the torque this engine makes .... plus its a nice smooth revving V8. It definitely has an edge on the LR3's 300 H.P Jag V8 that produces way less torque than the VVTi.
I'm a torque man..... my hemi car makes 700 lbs at 4000 rpm.
I guess I'll need to show you the LC keys to get a thumbs up ??

Then buy the `06 for daily driving. BTW, `06 is supposed to have the VVTi engine, which adds about 40 hp and 12 more lb.-ft. of torque over the `05. Or wait for one of Christo's turbos for the 4.7 and blow away the VVTi truck...
