X-Runner 0-100mph with launch control

Nice times, but ugh those trucks are fugly and most of the time the owners are about as smug as prius owners. (As if trucks could not handle before toyota did an average lowered midsize)

The trucks do handle very well. I've been autocrossing my truck for almost two years, and have put shame to many sports car owners. In autocross Driver > Car everytime
Drag racing is for fast cars, autocross is for fast drivers.

No more so then any other brand of trucks. You get the guys in the big trucks with egos bigger then j-lo's ***. Doesn't matter what model or make you'll always have your douchebag owners and your cool owners.

I'm sure they handle well, but i spoke to one tool of an owner who believed that his "xbrace" made his truck outhandle every other lowered truck. In reality, its just an average lowered truck that came with nice bilsteins and very pricey tires(i looked those up awhile ago...eek)

What you call an average lowered truck, Toyota calls a sport tuned suspension. If you can find another stock vehicle that can pull the numbers the X-Runner, then we can agree that the X-Runner is just an average lowered truck.
600-ft slalom: 63.67 mph (reported by Sport Truck Magazine - 350z records 68mph)
200' Skidpad: 0.89g (reported by TruckTrend - 350z records a .90).
You are correct about the tires... and you'll be lucky to get 30k miles out of them. Couldn't agree more on the bulky truck statement. I've never been a fan of the full sized trucks. I much prefer a truck over a car, but love the performance you get out of a sports car. X-Runner fit in that category perfect. Needed a bit of tweaking and tuning to get that real sports car feel, but I couldn't be happier.

ya people like that who bring that cocky attitude are lame. the xbrace is very much needed just to keep the composite bed from shifting under corners.

Tires certainly don't make the truck special. At the end of the day its working off of the same suspension design as every other lowered truck. Coil sprung up front, SUA leaf spring out back with swaybars. And its not exactly lighter then the average compact/midsize
And on top of it all, 30k is just way overpriced for what you get IMO. One of the local places here even wanted 24k for a used one.

IMO i don't think its the actual suspension at all. Most of the sport truck just don't come with expensive grippy tires like that. Hell my colorado came with contintental touring contact AS...err Touring contact ***. (drive a vehicle with them and you'll understand)

lol sorry I just had too....I want to put my truck up against the road course and see what it will do. I am not a big fan of it, but just want to see. I think my truck handles great. hotchkis sways, 3-4 drop, bilstien/doetsch tech. going to go to laps for charity at tms later this year. 275/45/20's on all 4 corners. does good on the street.
what does a stock x-runner run 1/4 or 1/8th?

I wanna take mine to a road course as well, but i've gotta sort out the baffling of my oil pan so it won't suck air and blow the engine.
I'm pretty sure the average stock X runs in the low 15s.

LOL, yeah not quite, but they arent low budget tires. For instance my trucks oem tires are like 80 bucks a tire. The Xrunner's are like 250$ a tire.

You are correct, most stock XR's run low 15's. We have seen a couple stock guys hit 14's but that is uncommon.
