Fair enough...but still what is unsafe about the factory tune? Why would Toyota the largest automaker in the world send their vehicles out into the world "unsafe"?
All you really need to know about 4x4 is a goodly number of the folks that drive them think is makes the invincible in the snow and drive like ass hats and end up in the ditch!
What the sam hell does "runs safer" even mean? Sounds like more BS to coax you into spending money! This vehicle runs perfectly and safe from the factory! If you want more power and risk fing up your engine have at it!
This was my first 4R so had nothing to compare it too...but overall I am very pleased with it. I really like the cloth seats in this one. What did the SR5 premium in previous versions get extra over the standard SR5? I always have my climate control set to recirculate which may help, but this...
Absolutely is true...you can even turn it off. Why are you doubting it? Put it in sport mode and it is obvious. Putting it in sport mode does not magically put a V6 under the hood! Everybody that went to turbo engines in their vehicles do this...it is common knowledge. You been living under...
I can answer that! The 4R is a really good looking ride and my SR5 ride is wonderful! It has been a great daily driver and all my women (only male in my family) fit fine in the backseat. It will never go off road...I don't do that stuff! Even my most remote fishing and hunting spots have a...
LOL...I gave it a try on the way to the gym this afternoon and turned up the radio so I did not havr to hear it. It is not obnoxious until you give it the beans! The throttle response is nice!
True...poor choice of words on my part. I was trying to infer that it as soon as you hit the throttle you are already in the boost because it comes in so low in the RPM range. I will have to get the fake engine noise turned off and experiment with MPGs.
One thing I will say and every persons experiences will vary...In normal mode throttle response is just fine in the SR5 4R...very happy with it because I was not expecting it based on my GTI experience. My GTI was awful unless it was in sport mode...you really had to give it a bunch of throttle...
I don't see how you would not be able to tell and hear it when you go from Normal to Sport and hit the throttle...the manufactured fake v6 engine noise is nauseating.
Yeah...the only good benefit of sport mode in my opinion. I get closer to 21 mpgs in my SR5 but only running 265/65 R17 on Nitto Ridge grapplers. The awful fake engine noise in sport mode killed it for me...even more than the bad gas mileage. Sport mode in a top heavy vehicle is silly to me.
