  1. Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

    Last tank was just over 20mpg on 87. Calculated considering bigger tires. All city driving. Normal mode only.
  2. Loud front wiper motors and no automatic wipers?

    I’ve not noticed them being loud, this is the 3rd 4Runner I’ve owned and I think they were all the same. Auto wipers I miss- it only takes having one vehicle with them to make it a must have, lol.
  3. TRD skid plate install - not enough bolts

    Mine was missing the rear cover as well. I ended up putting the front 2 bolts and the back 2 bolts and then ordering the bolt kit from the dealership at the same time as the transmission skid plate. The front plate will be fine with 4 bolts until you can pick up the kit, or 2 other bolts from...
  4. Door Rattle During Loud Music - Solutions?

    Happens on non-JBL systems too… Sounds like it’s from the seat belt adjuster but seems to go away if I push on the door panel above the armrest.
  5. Interior Hard Plastics Noticeable in Daily Driving?

    I haven't really noticed the hard plastics much at all. I usually drive with my left hand (habit developed during the days of manual transmissions) so my right arm is usually on the center console anyway. I have noticed the rattle with the bass frequencies in the door as well.
  6. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    De-badged. Took like 5 minutes total since it was warm today.
  7. Full Size Spare Tire (265/70r17) Fits Under SR5

    Nice. I've got a spare SR5 rim that I got off ebay as well. I'm going to put a 255/75 under there, so I bet it will fit easily. No idea what to do with the donut spare, lol.
  8. REI Kingdom Cot fits for sleeping in cargo area

    Tested it out over the weekend. Works well enough for a few nights. Getting in and out of the door is the only challenge.
  9. What'd you drive before your 6th Gen 4Runner?

    I had a Mazda CX-50 Meridian, before that was a 5th Gen and before that a 4th Gen. and before that a 1st Gen Taco. That’s the last 25 years, lol.
  10. Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

    Last tank was finally no city driving. It was a mix of high speed highway, moderate and low speed 2 lane and a bit of 4WD. Normal drive mode, 87 octane and 23.6mpg calculated.
  11. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    Last week, added Trail Hunter skid plates, this week tinted the front windows to match the rest.
  12. What is this part? Came with the 4runner

    Looks like a hitch pin in case you end up with a tow hitch. Actually, I think mine came with one too.
  13. REI Kingdom Cot fits for sleeping in cargo area

    I noticed that they had a slightly different model on sale as well. I keep mine folded up in my closet, but previously I’ve had to rent a storage unit for my camping gear. Definitely not ideal. But I sold my house when I got divorced you do what ya gotta do.
  14. REI Kingdom Cot fits for sleeping in cargo area

    I originally bought this cot to use in my 5th gen, which as we know, has a different folding mechanism for the second row. I finally got around to trying to fit it into the 6th gen (non-hybrid) and it fits. Keep in mind this is a huge cot, I’m 6’6” and I fit perfectly. There are 3 sets of legs...
  15. Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

    I’m just over 2000 miles on my SR5, mainly city driving on 87 octane. Mostly normal mode after getting past the break in period. I’m right at 20.7 mpg average after correcting for bigger tires. This is right about what I’d expect for monthly city driving according to the EPA numbers. My 5th gen...
  16. Thoughts on PPF

    I did it on my 5th gen, which was also white. Terrible idea, lol. I could see the line where the film was all the time because it takes just a tiny bit of dirt/dust for the line to show up on white. For dark colors it's less of an issue, but I wouldn't do it on a white vehicle again.
  17. How does everyone feel about the new 8speed transmission?

    I dig it. I had 2 4Runners with the 5 speed and this is much better -- for sure. FWIW, the clunky stop and go downshift is very similar to what I encountered in the last Mazda I owned (CX50 Turbo). I think if you are really soft on the gas petal it happens more often. I DID NOT notice this while...
  18. Front Spoiler / Air Dam on TRD Off Road Premium - removed experiences?

    Yes- I think they are needed to hold the trim pieces in place.
