I have to say color. Why Toyota thinks everyone loves gray tones is beyond me. Be exciting. Allow customers to order any color currently in production at the plant the vehicle is being made at. It's all computer controlled. The chassis is welded together, it's given a bar code, then it's...

It easily could have been an inside job or it could have just been bad timing. You could have been driving home, passed someone sitting in their car looking for a promising vehicle to steal, and were followed. Once the thieves knew where you lived and that you didn't park it in a secure place...

It's not as simple as putting the key in a bag or cage when at home. Thieves can clone your fob while you are at a store and then follow you home. I've even read something about being able to scan the VIN number through the windshield so they don't even need to get the FOB's signal. The best...

Chances are what you're feeling is partially due to the 23 having mileage on it. The shocks/ struts are well broken in. I believe they are rated for less than 100k miles. It's also possible that they may have been replaced with who knows what. I'm not saying that the 5th gen doesn't feel...

The real problem is how Toyota guestimates demand. Clearly they assume that men will buy a lot more of them and are going to want something more off-road. Both the limited and platinum are designed for the road. It's the same problem with exterior colors. Toyota assumes nobody wants red...

What's odd is that there are lots of Tacomas and Tundras around here. I see plenty of the new style Tacomas daily. I see lots of 5th and 4th gen 4Runners. Just no 6th gen ones. I assumed it was because of the 'hold' so maybe it'll change. Both of the ones I saw yesterday were dirty from...

I actually saw a 6th gen 4Runner today. 2 of them to be exact. Before this I think I was following one a month ago but it was a dark night and couldn't see the badging on the tailgate. I stopped to fill up the Rav4 and a woman pulled up on the opposite side of the pump with a black SR5. I...

I would guess that forward facing camera is for your anti collision system or cruise control. The one that will apply the brakes if the car in front of you stops. My 2016 Rav4 has that and a radar unit built into the front badge. If either one gets covered in ice I get warnings about the...

I had a Subaru that had a pretty bad sound and a rattle years ago. I ended up replacing the speakers in the doors to name brand ones (I think Polk). When I removed the door panels I found out what the problem was. Subaru had several plastic pieces that were attached to the door panels that...

Did you try the different driving modes. The local dealers haven't had a 4Runner to try so I haven't but I would try driving in sport and tow modes to see if it feels better.

I don't disagree. No new vehicle should have noisy brake pads. But it usually takes time. There's the good part of a forum, people letting others know of a problem and pushing Toyota into action and then there's the time needed to come up with a solution. With brake pads you would think it's...

Most people never have problems. Rarely do you hear from them. When someone does have an issue (or more than one) they want to find answers. Some are even upset. So those are the people that you read posts from. It tends to make it seem like lots of people have a problem when the number is...

I have a set of these but don't have my Pro yet. Very few reviews, one said they didn't know how to wire them, another said they felt cheap, the 3rd said they were loose. I figure if they fit loosely I would just put a dab of black silicone on them to make them fit tightly. I'm not going to...

The Pro is the trim level that will work the best for me. But I really not in love with the limited choices in colors. I'm hoping to see other people's rides who had their 4Runner wrapped. It looks to be around $2k to $3k to have it done locally.

I can't say I like the looks but for all those who say it's no big deal it actually is. If your state has annual inspections the garage (I know two people who had this happen) wouldn't pass it. Once it was rejected it was entered into the system so it couldn't pass by any garage until fixed...

If you live where there's lots of dirt roads they work great for getting mud on the back of your pants when you get out of the vehicle. As for looks, my Tundra came with them and it makes it look like it's closer to the ground than it is. If my wife would let me they would be gone long ago...

I would like to see something that's wide enough to keep most grime from being flung onto the door but also looked 'sexy'. The current mudflaps just look like they were an afterthought. They should be flexible so if you are out somewhere nasty they will crush and return to shape vs be ripped...

How do you adjust the angle of the light once installed and the bumper is on? Can you reach down inside with the hood open? Can it be done from underneath with the skid plate removed? Or do you just set it before putting the bumper on and hope it's good?

IN the part time 4wd there's no center differential. The transmission always sends power to the rear axle. When you switch to 4wd it now sends power to both front and rear axles. Both the front and rear driveshafts are locked together. The problem with rear 4wd is when you turn the front...

NH has taxes like that. No sales tax but you pay the state to register the vehicle every year. The towns collect a registration fee of 1.8% of the vehicle's value but they don't call it a tax. 4.5% yearly tax would be brutal.
