That looks like a really good result. Almost no deformation of the A-pillar.

Wrong! Oil capacity is 95% determined by the oil pan, and oil cooler (if any). Also the oil filter. All of those things can vary in different installations, even if it is the “same engine”.

I agree with Toyota premium horns recommendation. Much better and louder, super easy, and you know they’ll last.

3500 miles so far. 80% low speed highways (55 mph speed limit). Eco mode. 22.5 overall since new. I reset the MPG display every fill-up, and it’s interesting to note that the display is very close to the actual MPG, within .2 MPG!

This may be an unusual situation...I have the 18” black TRD upgrade wheels on my ORP. The thing is I hate black wheels. Yeah, I know they are “in” now but I’m kinda old. I’m considering painting them with a 2K metallic charcoal/gunmetal wheel paint. Has anybody done something like that with...

22.6 siince new. 80% highway, low speed state highways which are probably the best case scenario for mileage.

Man those tires and wheels look so sweet! I like that they aren’t all black. I don’t get the appeal of black wheels, even though mine came with the black TRD wheels.

Great, thanks!

Does it seem to make a significant difference?

Well I’ve looked at so many different brands, I confused myself! I don’t think AVS has theirs out yet. Sorry about that. I’ll just wait a while and see what develops.

I've only ever installed the AVS ones on previous vehicles. They worked fine but are a bit thinner than the WT ones. Now I'm having second thoughts myself. May go with the devil I know, the AVS.

In case you were waiting like me, Weather Tech now has the window visors for all 4 side windows. https://www.weathertech.com/side-window-deflectors-toyota-4runner.html?year=2025&source=int&wt_settype2=Dark&wt_settype=FrontRearSet&ymmSearch=true

Um yeah, I knew that. My screenshot shows the mileage from my Frontier (traded in on the 4R) and my motorhome, both much worse than the 4R. I guess I was just sneaking in a little brag about the RAV and how well the PHEV maximizes the MPG. ;)

22.9 so far. Hand calculated. 80% highway, eco mode. My wife’s RAV4 PHEV is getting over 56 MPG.
