Saw this YouTube video adding an amplifier to the 6th gens with the JBL system to make things louder.

It won't help because their expectations are unrealistic given the way Toyota has designed the JBL premium sound system in the 4Runners with that option. Bottom line: subwoofer is tied to the front channel and there's no independent subwoofer level adjustment (other than the system-wide bass...

Wouldn't sucking out all the oil be even better than draining because they can suck out the stuff at the bottom of the drain pan that never makes it out the drain plug when draining?

I feel your pain. I'm 67 with bad hip and knees and no garage. I found doing the oil change super easy once I took off the front air dam for easy access from the front. 12mm for the grid plates (not very heavy) and 14mm for the drain plug. Had to use a wrench on the filter the first time...

I took off the chin strap front air damn. Makes sliding under the OR from the front for the oil change easy and roomy. I'm 6'2" 265. Taking off the grid plates is easy. They even have little hooks that hang in their own holes so you can hang the plate giving two free hands to get the bolts and...

You're right that not all interior car sound systems tie the subwoofer to the front channel speakers like Toyota does.

Hey, it's a free country and you're entitled to your opinions.

This youtube video shows removing the door panels as part of the installation of the Alpine speakers:

I am going to change the oil myself (I've only done one change so far) and then have Toyota do the scheduled oil changes as part of Toyota Care.

You're turning down the subwoofer by adjusting the fader to the rear. I was responding to your AI quote: "Bass frequencies should come from the rear-like a subwoofer in the trunk or behind the back seat-for deep, clean low-end without messing up the front speakers' mids and highs". That's...

My condolences and sympathies. Really hope it works out for you.

You can turn off the FOB from transmitting (prevent FOB cloning) by putting it into "battery save mode". Hold down LOCK while pressing UNLOCK twice. The LED will flash four times total to confirm it's in BSM. When I take the FOB to the car, the doors won't open until the FOB is activated again...

The subwoofer in the JBL sound system does indeed come from the rear subwoofer in the back side of the cargo area, but it is tied to the front speakers and front speaker controls, which makes sense. There are others in this thread that also don't understand how this JBL sound system works.

My extended warranty agreement card from Toyota says that it's transferable.

Frankly, you are confused about how the subwoofer in this sound system works.

I purchased the extended Toyota Care warranty (and maintenance) at purchase because I figured it being a first year model of the new 6th gen and I've got the ORP iForce Max and figure it's complicated enough to make extra warranty coverage a good insurance policy.

ECO all the time for me.

My TRD ORP iForce Max delivered has the TRD black 18" wheels option and came with the Michelin AT tires (265/70R18)

Please post a report when they're installed and you test them out.

Six weeks after purchase at 750 total miles, left for a 2525 mile road trip. Didn't have time or setup to change the oil and filter until a week after we got back at 3333 miles.
