  1. First oil change - perform soon and then often

    The manual doesn't recommend a special first time oil change as far as I can tell: "Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled maintenance for your vehicle every 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first." (T-MMS-254Runner.pdf) There's a discussion on this topic here...
  2. Black 2025 4Runner TRD Sport Build (Westcott): 35's, +35 offset wheels, preload collar lift, rock sliders, low profile roof rack, MOLLE panel,

    Good video. You usually don't see the detail on the mods in the wheel wells like this. I've got to wonder how much a custom lift affects all the fancy computer safety stuff, adaptive cruise control, etc. (and how the warranty on those things is affected after a custom lift). Toyota provides...
  3. Visibility Issue created by Hood Scoop on TRD Sport

    FWIW, I stared at the two images for a while and the images on the Toyota website appear to have different "lighting" qualities even though they are the same color, Underground. I was trying to figure out if there are other differences between these two trims from this angle besides the hood...
  4. Visibility Issue created by Hood Scoop on TRD Sport

    Honestly, I didn't even notice until now that the ORP doesn't have the same hood. The last two images I posted show the difference. I just used the build tool on the Toyota website and overlayed into an animated gif for the first image, then side-by-side in the second. I guess it's a non issue...
  5. Visibility Issue created by Hood Scoop on TRD Sport

    Of course the hood impairs visibility in some way. If you drive a 2025 4Runner you will be able to see the hood and not whatever is between you and the hood. This will impair your visibility, just like any other vehicle with a hood that you can see from the driver seat. Therefore, it will be...
  6. Visibility Issue created by Hood Scoop on TRD Sport

    There was a slight difference but not enough that I would have noticed if I was not looking for things like that. FWIW, I definitely noticed the "hood bulge". It does not bother me but I could see how others might care. Best to just test drive one.
  7. Visibility Issue created by Hood Scoop on TRD Sport

    I don't have a pic but I test drove a 2024 and 2025 (Sport Premium) the same day. I did notice a slight difference in visibility between the two, but nothing I would have noticed if I had not just driven the 2024. I'm about 5' 11" and I have no visibility concerns for this vehicle. I'm also...
  8. How-to: Track delivery status (from dealer provided spec sheet link)

    There's also another useful way to get a rough estimate on delivery that others have mentioned, but I thought I'd repeat here. If you look at the VIN for the vehicle you have on hold, you can compare it to other 4Runner VINs on the Toyota and dealership websites (individual dealership websites...
  9. How-to: Track delivery status (from dealer provided spec sheet link)

    I forgot to add that you need to REFRESH the page after going to the "Network" tab. I edited the post to mention this, but it's not mentioned in the graphic. I might update this later. Edit: Post and graphic were updated to include this (it bothered me enough to go ahead and fix it).
  10. What tire size for 20" wheels on 2025 4Runner Limited?

    For anyone else tripping across oldish this, this post provided some related info... https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/threads/factory-wheels-tires-oem-offsets-bore-sizes-brands-2025-4runner-6th-gen.1962/ Limited 20" inch machine finished alloy wheels (+55mm offset) 31.5" Dunlop Grandtrek AT20...
  11. How-to: Track delivery status (from dealer provided spec sheet link)

    I was trying to get some more information on the status of my delivery and pieced together and updated information that I thought folks here might find this useful. Toyota has an unpublished/internal "dealer category" code for vehicles that progresses throughout the production and delivery...
  12. Roof Rack - ARB Platform 3/4 Length [Confirmed: same as Trailhunter roof rack]

    Here's the link to the one Toyota offers for anyone tripping across this... https://autoparts.toyota.com/products/product/roof-rack-pt98989251
  13. Roof Rack - ARB Platform 3/4 Length [Confirmed: same as Trailhunter roof rack]

    I hadn't seen this one. I don't see weight capacity listed, but I will try contacting them to find out. Thanks for the link.
  14. What was your experience with warranties and other options at time of sale?

    Yep, I've thought about this - it's a good point. Unfortunately, it's "difficult" (impossible?) to do a financial analysis upfront without knowing at least some details - for example, if you are replacing the cost of the warranty (which I don't know for sure yet) as an assumed initial...
  15. What was your experience with warranties and other options at time of sale?

    True - In the long term I will decide where to put my money based on the experiences I have. In the short term, in situations like this, the dealership knows they have a list of people waiting to buy these vehicles. It hurts the dealers reputation if they have seedy practices, but dealership...
  16. What was your experience with warranties and other options at time of sale?

    FWIW, "IF" I get quoted $2K for the 10 year / 125K warranty (platinum) I'd jump on that in an instant. I assumed the warranty would be much more, but I'm not sure which warranty level you are referring to. I was looking at platinum, gold, and power-train warranties this evening. I can see what...
