I’m in agreement with all those who think the hybrid is great for towing. I’m on my second trip and will have over 3,000 miles of towing by the time I get back home in 2 weeks. Having come from an early Gen 5 (2012), there’s no comparison. The hybrid is a delight to drive, towing or not. With...

My TRD-Pro tires had 40 lbs of air at delivery. That’s the first thing I changed, helped a little. Next, the Fox shocks were set on 1 from the factory. The ride was extremely jiggly. It felt like the springs were dominating the ride, sending information from every flaw in the pavement. I found...

I turned down the extended warranty when first offered. Just as the transaction was wrapping up, they offered a 25% discount. I took it because all the tech in these new ones. With turbo plus hybrid and LED panels, lots more to go wrong than my 2012 Trail (180,000 miles with just oil changes and...

I was pulling a 4000 lb trailer with a 2012 4Runner Trail Edition that was nearing 180,000. I decided to get the TRD-Pro Hybrid for the 465 lbs of torque. Couldn’t be happier about that. The engine and drive train are superb, it has more low end grunt than I’ll ever need, climbs hills with no...

I had the Fox shocks on 1 for the first 2000 miles, that’s the factory setting, found it to be a bit stiff and jiggly. Switched to 2, and preferred the ride, definitely a bit softer, even on pavement. Toyota says 1 is for pavement, 2 is for easy to medium trails and 3, the softest, is for...

I would have bought an Off-road Premium if I could have ordered it with the optional trailer tow package with factory trailer brake controller installed. But Toyota doesn‘t let us order a car, you have to take what’s coming in and settle for the model that comes closest to your desires and...

One more thought: To my understanding, the AC runs entirely off the hybrid battery and continues working when the gas engine turns off at stop lights. It makes sense then why the mileage would drop if the gas engine needs to run more to keep the hybrid battery charged. Any tech experts out...

TRD Pro, 3000 mi to date, 91 octane, tires at 33 psi and started off in Standard mode for the first 2K. Off the lot mpg: 17.5 mpg, which increased with each fill up. Depending upon driving conditions, I could reach 21 mpg (barely) by 2K. I took off the roof rack cross bars (visually an...

It has 2 positions. Instead of two positions that have different amounts of reflectivity or glare reduction, one is a normal mirror. The other is a video rear view that uses a camera in the rear hatch to the left of the backup camera. The video view from this camera is in your rear view mirror...
