In this generation when you're in 4L traction control isn't disabled it's in A-Trac (Active Traction Control). On the previous generation you had to press a button to turn it on but in this generation Toyota programmed it be active anytime you're in 4L. What is disabled in 4L is the stability...
Toyota still hasn't designed a front license plate mount that doesn't require drilling holes? My 2016 Ford's front mount can snap into slots in the bumper trim that's cleverly hidden in the black trim. Meanwhile my 2016 Camry has two holes drilled into the bumper because I bought it used and it...
Unless you're really price sensitive I would say get the FT 4WD. Disclaimer, I usually don't recommend 4WD trucks/SUVs if they're part time 4WD. For example, I live in the south and lots of people buy 4x4 trucks and use them as street queens; they rarely or never switch to 4WD.
But with the...
They do, it's called the Bronco. With both being built on the Ranger platform there is too much overlap to build both of them for the U.S. Similar to how many think the 4Runner and Land Cruiser are too similar and compete against each other.
Not really. There is a reason the Land Cruiser, GX and LX have the full-time system. So does Land Rover and Mercedes G-Wagon. Full-time systems also have locking differentials with the LX having locking front, center and rear differentials.
Mercedes-AMG, Porsche, and Bentley use Mobil 1 as the factory fill oil. I guess it's good enough for a Toyota.
Ford Motorcraft oil is made by ConocoPhillips in the US., and Castrol makes it for Europe. No auto manufacturer makes their own oil. Searching the web it seems that Exxon Mobil makes...
I’m pretty sure this is the same full time 4WD system since the 4th gen. It would cost more money to engineer a separate system without low range than to use the same one they’ve been using for 20+ years.
Toyota doesn't offer 2 different types of Full Time systems, I just ordered a gas Limited with full time 4WD and it has H4F, H4L, and L4L just like all Limiteds before this one. I'm pretty sure this is a carryover system from the previous generation (and probably the one before that).
The...
Same here. I really wanted a 4th gen but just starting a career and having a young family meant it was not in the budget. So, like you I settled for cars that were easy on the budget. First car I bought was a Honda Civic, nothing fancy but it had A/C and a CD player all was good. Fast forward...
When I put in my order the salesman told me that the wait list was mainly for Limiteds, Trailhunters and TRD Pros. It seems like the most popular version is the Off Road trims, all of them show pending sale in my area. SR5s and Sports seem to be pretty easy to get. It also shows that although...
Just have to find a reputable dealer, not all of them do the "market adjustment" BS. I go to dealers on Sunday to window shop; if I see one of those bump stickers on the window that dealer is immediately off the list, FOREVER.
