    Took off the steps (running boards) and air dam chin spoiler

    I took the chin and steps off this evening. This just takes a few minutes. On the chin (I think its called an air damn), there are nine 10mm bolts holding the chin on, and then two plastic clips you can release with your fingers after removing the bolts. The steps (running boards) have six 12mm...

    Observations after 200 miles

    This is not meant to be a comprehensive or detailed review, but I thought I'd share my thoughts now that I've driven my new 4Runner 200 miles. The break-in procedures warn against certain driving activities at the 200, 500, and 1,000 mile markers. So, I'm arbitrarily choosing these "mileage...

    '25 4Runner versus '25 Wrangler for long roadtrips and offroading

    I'm buying a new vehicle specifically with the purpose of long road trips (several days to weeks) to destination with off-road trails. My conclusion was that a '25 4Runner (Off-Road Premium trim) would be better for this purpose. However, I test drove a '25 Wrangler (Rubicon X) trim at a...

    Road noise?

    For people that have already purchased your '25 4Runners, what do you think about your 4Runner's cabin noise level on the freeway? Are these loud or quiet to you? What vehicles are you comparing it to? I test drove a '25 4Runner but didn't take it out on the freeway and only had it up to higher...

    Headroom in backseat with moonroof?

    I test drove a '25 4Runner Sport Premium without a moonroof before reserving an Off-Road Premium with a moonroof (you're limited what they give you in test drive availability and 4Runners available to reserve right now). The 4Runner I test drove did not have a moonroof, and I have since read...

    What was your experience with warranties and other options at time of sale?

    When I purchased vehicles in the past, I felt rushed and pressured to make a whole bunch of decisions on warranties and various add-ons. Afterwards, when I thought I could use those warranties, I found out they were pretty useless. I'm currently going through a particularly aggravating situation...
