I test drove one the other day, I though I heard a high pitched humming sound. Is that the turbo?

I found out recently that the spare on the Armada is not full size - similar situation to the 4Runner Limited.

For what it's worth, this is from the Nissan Armada manual. Not only are they recommending the same directional rotation, but they don't even rotate the spare with them (the Armada is part time 4WD).

Correct - I've seen some people recommend crossing regardless of what the manual says though. I don't have enough experience to have an opinion here.

This is for the LC250: and this is for the LC200: and this for the LX600: It make sense since they are all full time 4WD vehicles. Having your spare sit without use is a waste of money, since it will expire after a certain amount of time anyway regardless of whether you use it or not...

Yeah, they're clearly not tailoring the Limited/Platinum trim as offroad oriented - even though having full time 4WD is superior IMO. They want people to "move up" to the LC250 if you want all the goodies. Is it difficult to purchase a matching wheel? If you look up the owner manuals for the...

I don't see a reason why one would not be able to purchase a matching 265/55R20 and replace the spare with it. One of the main points of having an offroad capable vehicle is a full size spare that gets rotated with your other tires in case you need it. The LC250 LC trim has a matching 265/60R20...

That's a different size from the other 4 tires, correct? Looks like if someone is interested in the Limited, he would need to purchase another tire+wheel to put it as a spare. I wonder if one can do it at purchase time and get a refund for the smaller spare.

The Toyota website shows that this is a standard feature across trims (see attachment). I have not seen it references in the owner's manual that was posted here last month. Where is the discrepancy?

Not to be super pedantic, but the LC and the Platinum/Limited 4Runners have full time 4WD, not AWD. :)

Edit: duplicate post, please delete

Thank you. Where can I find this information? I'm cross comparing with the LC250 sold abroad, which comes with the T24A-FTS non-hybrid. I'm curious what transmission they use.

Is the transmission in the 4Runner the same as the one in the Tacoma, or the LC250 ?

I was looking at the specs website for the upcoming 4Runner. It shows the following for the Limited/Platinum: It does not mention A-TRAC, unlike the brochure for the previous model year (see below). I sure hope this is just a typo. Does anyone have any insights?

Cheaper when converted to USD than the US list.

The flagship Land Cruiser has been full-time 4WD since the 80 series, introduced in 1990. I think the only reason they don't have it on all trims of the 4Runner is to push people to pay more and buy the LC250. The LC250 (a.k.a Prado) sold abroad has FT 4WD as well from what I gather.

You may have seen the video where a shock broke on the new Tacoma with moderate offroading. It seems that the 4Runner will be following the same footsteps.
