  1. Tail of the Dragon Run in TRD ORP - 9 April 2026

    That spoiler is for more than just MPG...but sure! That would be the last road I would want to traverse in a truck!
  2. How to shift gear smoothly

    It is definitely worse the colder the temps are. Folks that live in cold climates are going to notice it more often and for longer as the tranny fluid gets up to temp. I had a GMC Canyon that was the worst for this. Just putting it into gear when it was cold was a loud thud and then the gears...
  3. How to shift gear smoothly

    Spoken like a true millennial!
  4. How to shift gear smoothly

    I have jeans older than 25 years...your attempt to impress me falls short! Sorry you failed to thoroughly test drive a truck before purchasing. I would've thought with all your experience you could've figured that out!
  5. How to shift gear smoothly

    I was not trying to get you...just adding some clarity.
  6. Turbo Gauge - how to read properly?

    Yeah...you don't need to.
  7. How to shift gear smoothly

    Well if you really feel that way then maybe you have a bad transmission? Either that or you are used to driving a dual clutch or Porche tranny and have unrealistic expectations from a truck. There is nothing wrong with my transmission. Is it a smooth shifting as my old GTI? Nope...but it is...
  8. What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

    Well sometimes it comes to that. I went in on a Friday only 1.5 hrs before they closed and was willing to walk if I did not get what I wanted...they gave me what I wanted after their usual dealership games...but they were light attempts...I could tell the did not want to be there all night!
  9. What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

    So true!! Have done that in the past myself on a Nissan and drove it back!
  10. What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

    Folks all if this is geography dependent. Folks in some states just have to pay more. I would not even have considered only $1500-$3000 off MSRP as a good deal. Your state and dealeship experiences will all vary.
  11. Alpine speaker upgrade kit for 2025+ 4runner 6th gen (8 or 12 Speaker Plug & Play Bundle Install by Trail Grid Pro)

    I already had the Beat Sonic 3T3 booster, but finally did the Alpine Speaker upgrade for my NON-JBL SR5. Man what a different system it is now! Really pleased with the results. I am not an audiophile by any stretch. I adjusted my gains on my 3T3 by ear, because the 3T3 is taped down and in...
  12. What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

    Yours is almost exactly like mine some different options but about the same total price. Mine was $ 48,112 and I paid almost $42600. Looks like the base price went up a little on the 2026. Those taxes and fees is what blows my mind! They are about 4x what we pay about NC. We only pay 3%...
  13. What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

    Wait until November/December and you will find better deals. I got under invoice when I purchasd my 2025 in Nov.
  14. Widow Door rattle / vibration source when playing music and how to actually fix door rattle permanently

    I have zero rattles when playing music on my 2025 SR5. I do have Beat Sonic and Alpine Speaker upgrade.
  15. How to shift gear smoothly

    I really don't think this is just a 6GEN issue. Every truck I have ever owned has been rough shifting until the transmission fluid warmed up. Cars not so much usually not a problem with cars but with trucks everyone I've ever driven has been like that.
