    Hello everyone
    I come from the other forum, because it loads badly or not at all, i've registered here too.

    I live in Europe in Switzerland in the Alps. Since last year i am the owner of a 4 Runner TRD Offroad Premium. It's a 2019 and was imported from California. You can't get them any newer than 2019 here. 5th Gen 4 Runner was never officially sold in Europe, and there are strange laws for imported vehicles in Switzerland :confused:

    For vehicles with a total weight of over 2500kg you have to prove that it meets the regulations for pedestrian protection. This applies from 24.08.2019 1st registration. Such individual proofs are not affordable, therefore the 4 Runner must have been registered in the USA/Canada before 24.08.2019.

    Jeep Wrangler or Grand-Cherokee were also on my mind, but i didn't want to deal with all the problems.
    There are a lot of Landcruisers here (j12 and j15), but i don't want the diesel engine. And the Landcruisers here don't cost any less than an imported 4R, apart from the fuel consumption :D

    As i like to work on my car myself, i will read here regularly or ask questions.

    I've always had very long loading times, maybe it's because of the long cable to Europe ;)
