Humorous explanation on tariffs, which are actually attacks on the American people. No I'm sure the money coming in for the soon to be declared illegal tariffs are going for refurbishing 747s and other nonsense. That being said, as a financial person, I bought the new Trailhunter because the...
Primarily I went with the 6th gen 4Runnerunner Trailhunter because I just sold my motorhome and I had a Jeep Wrangler POS that I needed to use to flat tow since that's not practical with a Toyota product. Once I got rid of the motorhome that jeep was like a hot potato, couldn't get rid of it...
They were fine back then but Nissans have never been built up to the quality of Toyota. Add to that, they're planning on closing seven assembly plants 2027, they are billions of dollars in debt and the bailout from Honda fell through last year. They are on borrowed time, knowing that I would...
Still waiting for the line level modular adapters to come out so I can pull out every speaker and add quality amplifiers and a sub. Focal speakers are what I'm aiming for, just as long as I get that JBL junk out of there and that pitiful subwoofer.
Using Toyota branded oil or Mobil 1, both made by the same company is the best for a Toyota. European engines are built differently and require different oil for a reason. Of course if you can't afford to change your oil at 5K I understand but in the long run, if you want to get more than half a...
It depends on how hard you drive it. Just about every mechanic and even the dealer recommends 5000. There are plenty of websites out there that show you how the oil degrades and gets contaminated with fuel and condensation. Sure you can get high mileage but why take a chance since oil is so...
Similar experience although I went from a Tacoma to the 6th gen 4Runner Trailhunter. That drivability and power upgrade plus as you mentioned the steering and everything else sold me immediately.
3 months in and 1,200 miles Trailhunter
The best mileage I've been able to get around town and on the highway has been 16 MPG. To prove a point to my friend who insisted putting premium fuel in it would get better mileage which of course can't happen I tried it anyway and it went down by one...
You should never Wait until 10,000 mi to change your oil. There are plenty of engineers out there that have videos testing the oil with those high miles on them and finding everything from moisture to debris in it. Oil is cheap and easy to change, if you want it to last several hundred thousand...
I have figured out it's best to use the AC outlet to charge my lithium portable battery bank rather than use the outlet for anything while camping since the engine needs to be running. This has worked out really well, I've gotten rid of all the propane cooking devices and use induction cooking...
You would want rock sliders on a TRD Pro if you're anything other than a mall crawler. Personally I think running boards look silly on any 4Runner but especially the TRD Pro, meant to be an off-roader. Running boards don't really do anything to protect your vehicle off-road and they will end up...
Why not use the instant gas mileage and trip information on your instrument cluster, that's what it's for. The one on the big screen is to show your averages. All of this is explained in the owners manual.
