I just did the first rotation this week. Since the Toyota recommended pattern didn't make sense to me I decided to leave the spare in new condition and do non-diagonal rotation. When 4 tires need replacement I'll buy 3 and put the unused spare on the ground.
I've recently spent several weeks driving Colorado and Utah trails using 4-Low numerous times. Approximate shift points in low range are:
first to second 2,200 rpm 4 mph
second to third 3,500 rpm 13 mph
third to fourth 4,500 rpm 24 mph
fourth to fifth 5,000 rpm 32 mph...
Having just completed several weeks of traveling CO and UT with many days of easy to moderate off-roading, some problems have surfaced.
Even though Toyota replaced my brakes at 2,000 miles because of the embarrassing howling noise, the noise is actually worse. This was particularly annoying...
Everyone is referring to the noise as sqealing. Howling is more accurate.
Before the TSB was done on mine, the brakes howled only in reverse and only when cold. After the TSB they howl going forward and reverse, cold and warm. Considerably WORSE than before.
Over 2000 miles on my ORP and the screeching seems to be getting worse. Only in reverse and when cold.
Hopefully, enough of us will complain to our dealers so Toyota will consider a solution.
Nodak,
You're making assumptions again. I do not have it set to defrost, windshield, or windshield and feet. I've learned that when I start the truck, it will make cold air without being told to unless I dial the thermostat to a temp higher than the temp in the cab. Annoying but not a big deal.
For non-glossy plastic I use Mother's Back To Black, Aerospace 303, or sometimes Armor All (dust sticks to it). My favorite was a product called Black Chrome, but can't find it anymore.
Sunroof is an interesting guess, but we've had no rain and a week since last washing. I still suspect it's as nubbins said, drain from AC. We haven't had the AC on for a while, but the truck often makes cold air for a while without being told to when first started.
My wife noticed a wet spot on the garage floor under our ORP approximately beneath the drivers seat. Upon inspection, I found a approx. 4" rubber tube with water slowly dripping out. Can't trace it so don't know where it's coming from or what it is. I'm assuming it's condensate from the AC...
I concur with Maximus4r ; the rear window must be fully shut for the buttons to operate.
On a similar note, the kick sensor on our rear gate sometimes works, sometimes doesn't and I don't know what I'm doing differently. It seems to work when the truck is locked.
I can't answer OP's question about turning off the adaptive cruise icon, but Steve Clifford has several helpful You Tube Toyota videos. He's the training manager for a Toyota dealership.
Here's the link to his You Tube channel.

With just 800 miles on the 4Runner, I was finally able to take a 200 mile drive. Conditions were nearly ideal; all country driving, no wind, no traffic, flat to moderately rolling terrain, no hard acceleration, speed around 55 mph. I was pleased to get 28.2 mpg according to the display (not...

Today with outside temperature around 85, using an infrared thermometer I checked the air temp coming out of the vents; 49.9 degrees with the AC OFF for the first few miles. After the cabin temp came down to approx. where I had it set (68), air temp coming out of the vents rose, and I had to...
If there are any shorter females in your life, they might disagree with removal of the step. My wife is 5' tall and would struggle without it.
As far as the OEM step providing some protection, probably not much. TFL took their new ORP off road near Moab and damaged one of the steps within a...
