They must all be at Gulf States Toyota since every 4Runner in my area has them included as one of the many PIOs GST puts on every 4Runner. Every one has $2,500-$3,000 worth of PIOs installed on them. Absolutely ridiculous money grab.
This engine is new to the 4Runner but it's not a new engine. It's now in its 4th year of production and is used in the Lexus NX, RX and TX, Toyota Highlander, Crown, Land Cruiser and Tacoma. By now there are hundreds of thousands of these engines in use and so far there are no problem areas.
The effects of the tariffs will be long reaching. I'm also going to cancel my Limited if the price goes up due to the tariff and I'm sure many people will do the same. For many people, buying a new car is discretionary spending. I'm sure a massive price increase will change that to necessary...
How's the night driving? Are the headlights good, do the screen and instrumentation dim down to a level that doesn't cause eye strain? What color is the backlighting on the controls and are they all lit or did they leave some unlit?
This is the one thing you don't usually find out until after...
Steel weighs approximately 3 times more than steel. So if the skid plates are identical with the exception of the material the steel skid plate will weigh 3X more.
The Trailhunter is the rock crawler of the group so I assume that's why it has more substantial skid plates. TRD Pro is supposed to...
Not a problem getting the dash cam where I live, Gulf States Toyota installs it as a PIO in everything they get. The hard part is getting a Toyota without one.
My dealer let me test drive a TRD Sport they just had delivered even though I reserved a Limited. The powertrain is the same so I have an idea how it drives. It scoots around more nimbly than I expected, the engine and transmission move it with authority. The transmission has firm shifts when...
You can't build a car to your exact specs with Toyota. The dealer can take your order and when one that meets your specs is allocated to them they can put a hold on it.
I think his experience shows how good Toyota has programmed the traction control system on the 6th gen. Even without tires rated for snow it gets through without breaking a sweat.
Toyota didn't install attachment points for Rock Rails.
It's hard to believe Toyota would offer a genuine Toyota Rock Rail and not make it easy to install. Did you ask the tech if the installation instructions stated that the bolts should be screwed directly into the frame? If so he should...
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...
