I'm considering this myself. You should use 14 gauge wire at a minimum. I'm more interested in figuring out where to put the thing. On my Gen 1 4Runner, it lived under the passenger seat and I ran wire directly to the battery. There was an existing cable boot I could make use of. In my...
I'm getting into the habit of resetting the average fuel economy whenever I fill up. My latest is 20.8 which is operating under the following conditions: city driving, Normal drive mode, A/C on, elevation above 5000 feet.
I'm now going to try a tank's worth of Eco drive mode.
Has anyone tried to open the hatch back with the back window rolled down? I forgot that the window was down today when I tried to open the hatch. The hatch unlocked and started to open but stopped. Pressing buttons had no effect. I could manually open the hatch which didn't feel like a good...
I'm a bit mystified by the calibration procedure. It uses forward/back and recline, both of which make perfect sense. But then it uses "up/down". Which one? The up/down control does two things. The YouTube video mentioned above uses the front part of the seat but not the whole seat. And...
So, I tried Invisible Glass. It helps but clearly, no pun intended, there's something else going on as you can see in these photos. When I sprayed the Invisible Glass on there, it beaded up as though there was something like Rain X on there. Wish I knew what the detailers at the dealership used.
Okay, so, I needed to do the calibration procedure because the seat would beep as I was moving it. That's fine BUT, the memory button still doesn't do squat. What's worse is that if the seat got moved for some reason e.g. I leaned on one of the controls as I was trying to reach for something...
I think the app is listening. I just used it to lock my doors and it asked me if I liked the app or not. Squeaky wheels, you know, so I clicked "no" and it asked me what aspects I didn't like. I clicked on notifications and remote start. Maybe if enough of us do that they'll improve it.
After owning this baby for two weeks now, I can honestly say that the Toyota app is annoying. I regularly get "2025 4Runner Hybrid has multiple vehicle alerts, please check app for more details." It's usually complaining that windows have been left open and doors are unlocked even though I'm...
Here's my low-tech solution. I used 80/20 and Home Depot Husky containers. Not quite as elegant as an actual drawer but I can pull them out to access the air pump and I don't lose any space for mechanisms.
Hard sell. The guy who pitched the extended warranty was also the financing guy. Their sales pitch was clearly designed for people who have no clue about engineering. He kept saying "This vehicle has ### computers in it. Any one of them could fail." Yes, that number was WAY over a hundred...
