  1. Model Code Acronyms (nice historical tidbit)

    depends on how you look at it... from a model code yes its GR but technically its a subdivision of TRD (not really clear on this part since TRD existed prior to GR). GR was originally a marketing and internet brand (gazoo.com) and eventually changed to GR GR86 GR Corolla GR Supra
  2. Front End clunk solved: adjust the hood stops

    ah nice, i wish i had that issue. mine is weird. when i turn the wheel after sitting for the night in the garage exiting the garage it sounds like the sound my mirrors make when i hit the adjustment limit, like a plastic gear jumping gears. only does it once and i dont hear it again until the...
  3. Model Code Acronyms (nice historical tidbit)

    going thru some old txt files i had on my server and i ran across this, funny little history bit
  4. Model Code Acronyms (nice historical tidbit)

    Model Letter Acronyms : CE: Classic Edition. This trim was used on older, base-model Toyotas but has been phased out on newer vehicles. DX: Deluxe. A trim level that adds a few more features and comforts than the standard entry-level model. L: Entry-level. A no-frills, budget-friendly...
  5. I'm deciding now on a 4R please let me know what if any problems you have had?

    active = radar (it defaults to this cruise mode when you turn on your vehicle) regular = constant (you have to push up on the toggle twice to get into regular mode) you can modify the side pods to show different trip mpg and stats, just use the left/right arrow after getting into edit mode for...
  6. 2025+ 4Runner 6th gen Light Bars by M&R -- 40" and 11"

    you know what would be an interesting thought, replace the whole lower trim piece with a new piece that incorporated a new light bar between the 2 factory fog lights like so (in yellow), yes i know it would cost more to fab a replacement piece, but i imagine some people would like a turn key...
  7. Ice Cap- body panels all different shades of white

    sad to say, ever since toyota went to the water based paint, this happens more so than not. i see it only with toyota's white colors no matter the model
  8. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    oh and by the way here are the stats on our 23 tundra platinum non HV with the twin turbo 3.4L engine running 87 with eth (also ran 87 with eth on our 2018 tundra platium) granted this is mostly city driving 95% our lifetime avg so far on the 23 tundra is 13 mpg, 1.5 mpg better than our 2018...
  9. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    well in my 2014 4R Limited (granted it was a n/a engine), i ran 87 (with eth) for almost 12 yrs and 120k miles. here are my stats my lifetime avg was 16 mpg (across 249 fill ups) and i avg 28 miles a day (home to work 4 days a week is 32 miles round trip) remote starts in winter kill my mpg...
  10. Limited Trim Ride Quality

    i was looking for a street tire and this one looks tempting, dueler a/t ascent. its a street tire with the looks of a off road tire, decent reviews on tire rack but it has less than 100 reviews so its sus right now. its comparable to the defener ltx ms2 which i had on my 2014 and they were...
  11. Diode Dynamics Hitch-mount LED lighting pod

    do you have the TBC switches on the front dash ? is probably the correct question to ask, the pigtail and the 4/7 pin connector has no bearing on the tbc control software built in i mean my 2014 came with the oem pigtail and 4/7 connector but no brake controller.
  12. Diode Dynamics Hitch-mount LED lighting pod

    thanks for the heads up on the + brake option. may forgo the brake option and just go with only the backup light
  13. TPMS sensor issue after transferring from factory wheels / tires

    older gen's and on other BoF vehicles they didnt always have a 5th sensor. on the new 4R the MID screen will show tire pressure for 5 tires or 4, depending on trim
  14. What factory oil and filter?

    always go with denso, toyota has a majority stake in that part manufacturer plus if you look at parts on any toyota most of them are denso branded. and not just toyota, other major japanese auto oem's use denso
  15. Limited Trim Ride Quality

    i think the problem right now with the 2 trims that have avs, the grandtrek tires need to be removed from the equation and a better tire needs to be installed to give a true assessment. i have yet to find a toyota luxury suv trim with grandtrek have a good quality ride. once i got rid of them...
  16. I'm deciding now on a 4R please let me know what if any problems you have had?

    every model/trim of any manufacturer will have issues, toyota is not immune. just you have better overall odds of getting a vehicle that doesnt have issues. but i have seen some toyota's not make it 1000 miles before the owner dumped it or lemon'd it and went to another brand. cough new...
  17. Carista Options / Settings for 2025+ 4Runner 6th Gen (screenshots)

    just a note, on the screen for touch to unlock, off means no delay in case anyone is wondering. i changed it last night and now i dont have to hold the handle to unlock like before.
  18. Limited trim upgrade from 20'' to 18'' TRD wheels, Ride quality

    usually more sidewall help with impacts but the overall usability is worse using a AT or RT tire than a more street/highway oriented tire. the block pattern on an AT/RT tire during highway/city or normal driving use is to compromising vs a street tire. using a duratrac SL load on the 23 tundra...
  19. Rear seats, what the heck were they thinking ?

    outside of that feature, i agree the seat setup is not ideal, especially in the hybrid with the battery pack in the back. if they would have retained the setup for the 5th gen for the 6th gen non HV setup, that would have been ideal. even looking at it yesterday when i had to take my 12yr old...
