October 2011 : TOP RIDE
Coupe's 2008 Radiant Red X-Runner
The Story behind the Ride:
I saw a picture of an X-Runner in June 2008. There is a Toyota dealer across the street from my office, so I went to look at them during my lunch break. The salesman told me that he had not seen one in months. He told me, I would have to order one to drive one. Not wanting to buy a truck, sight unseen, I left the dealership. A few months went by, in November of that year, I was driving by the same dealer and there were two (2) X-Runners on the lot (one SWB & one RR). By the time I test drove the RR, the SWB was sold. I purchased the RR on the spot.
