  1. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    simple AMD from CCnut recommends max 5k on oil changes based on his years of engine tear downs of people doing 10k vs 5k or 3k oil changes. https://www.youtube.com/c/TheCarCareNut
  2. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    in the grand scheme of things you get better performance vs the 2014 @ 87. now if your ocd requires you to have even better performance you go with 91/93. for 90% of the country 87 is good enough for what you get compared to before. for the 10% that requires sport car like specs/response, it...
  3. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    its not the hp gain, its more likely less timing retard using 91/93 than 87 which equates to better response from the engine i think from an old post somewhere else, 87 give you about -14 timing retard vs 91/93 at zero dont quote me on the exact numbers, its a vague nugget from a long time ago
  4. Initial review < 100 miles

    going to do some initial impressions vs my 2014 4R Limited and our 23 Tundra Platinum (yes i know but this platinum 4R is optioned exactly as our 23 platinum tundra, so the systems comparison is an apples to apples comparison) feels a little more cramped in the drivers seat vs my 2014 gets out...
  5. Trailhunter Snorkel Sound / Noise 'Music' – Eliminated No More!

    good luck with that. find a good body shop unless you are going to do it yourself. a good option if you can find a good body shop that is willing to work with you, get a estimate to replace the body panel and see if you can get a part break out (look at it from as if someone hit the panel)...
  6. My Journey for a new 6th gen Platinum

    went and made some purchases today 1. viofo a329 1ch dashcam (directly from viofo website) 2. new fobs from ajt design (one for the wife's tundra and one for the 4R) 3. ordered a new odb2 adapter from carista ($40 version), cant find my old elm27 adapter (may have left it in the old traded in...
  7. Trailhunter Snorkel Sound / Noise 'Music' – Eliminated No More!

    how would that work on a non TH ? the defining part is the hole in the front passenger fender to direct air down from the snork to the engine bay
  8. Observations after 10,000 miles ownership

    i think that is one of the best write ups i have seen of an owner after roughly 1 yr of ownership thanks for the lengthy write up, enjoyed reading the whole post. (y)
  9. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    the limited hybrid (lc250 1958) and platinum hybrid (lc250) are equivalent to each other, so its pretty much and apples to apples comparison and technically its not awd, its ft4wd. awd usually employs a computer to apply the brakes to simulate a typical 4wd system that uses a mechanical setup...
  10. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    compression ratio is 11:1 in the 4R and the LC250 hybrid
  11. TPMS sensor issue after transferring from factory wheels / tires

    start on page 541 of the 4R manual (gas only manual) or 538 in the HV manual you can go thru that first before you get to the point of replacing the tire sensors.
  12. Trailhunter Snorkel Sound / Noise 'Music' – Eliminated No More!

    people should go with the proper way to (4b option) plug the snork. i wouldnt suggest the foam (4a option) but that is just me
  13. Rear black badge inserts - how easy to remove?

    or good dental floss with the coating helps with friction. i stay away from any inserts that are not vinyl type. non vinyl inserts are a royal pita to remove in the future after they bake in the sun during summer.
  14. TPMS sensor issue after transferring from factory wheels / tires

    yeah the manual states how you can save yourself the cost and headache of getting new sensors. even works when swapping between summer and winter wheel sets.
  15. 4Runner has second best longevity of all vehicles. 32.9% chance of lasting 250K+ miles according to iSeeCars study

    i am just guessing, since the survey was 250k and longevity. wasnt trying to be sarcastic about the reply. its just hard to grasp the idea that a 2025 could hit 250k in 10 months. i could understand a tundra hitting that in 10 month doing hotshot work, but not a 4runner
  16. Switched from Regular to Premium gas. 4Runner runs better (more power & smoother)

    oil changes (5k max and 3k for those die hards) and spark plug replacement. the owner manual states 40k spark plug replacements if i remember correctly for the new turbo engines. my 2014 n/a engine i went like 106k on the oem spark plugs and i could have gone longer when i had them pulled...
  17. PSA: Toyota App and adding new vehicle - DO NOT add the vehicle via vin on Toyota website or through the app

    you can have up to 3 profiles per vehicle (primary and 2 secondary) and the profiles are save to the vehicle, not the account. i usually make myself as primary driver on the 23 tundra and 25 4runner and the wife profile is the secondary profile on both vehicles.
  18. PSA: Toyota App and adding new vehicle - DO NOT add the vehicle via vin on Toyota website or through the app

    do not have any other phone or fob near the vehicle it will confuse the shite out the vehicle during setup. when trying to link the fob to the profile if the other fob is near by you might be setting up the out of range fob as the linked fob. also do not have 2 seperate toyota owners accounts...
  19. PSA: Toyota App and adding new vehicle - DO NOT add the vehicle via vin on Toyota website or through the app

    1. you will have to log into the website and delete the vehicle from the dashboard / loaded vehicles under your toyota owners account 2. once that is done, it will take a random amount of time ( i waited 30 mintues) and then you have to go into your head unit and delete any non primary driver...
  20. 4Runner has second best longevity of all vehicles. 32.9% chance of lasting 250K+ miles according to iSeeCars study

    there is no way a 2025 4runner with less than a year be considered best long lasting vehicle, someone would have to be doing 25k per month in a 4R to get to 250k in 10 months per the survey. and the 2025 4R only started selling in the usa in jan-2025
