Actually that picture shows the Ford's safety engineering also worked as designed. The trucks crumple zone absorbed the energy of the collision by the front end collapsing as it hit the 4Runner. When you see the costs of new cars part of that is the engineering, construction and safety systems...

In most vehicles snow mode can reduce throttle sensitivity, change transmission shift points, may start in 2nd gear and change the traction control's algorithm for snow conditions. Traction control isn't off but it may be allowing more wheel spin. It does a lot more than just turn off traction...

I was planning on buying a 4R Limited, even had a deposit down on one, but in the end I bought a Passport Trailsport Elite. I wanted the 4R Limited because it had FT4WD and I don't have any plans on doing extreme off roading. But for 7K less than the 4R the Passport has more features, a roomier...

Gulf States Toyota is no different, 2-3 grand in PIO on every 4Runner before they get to the dealer.

Ask them to show you the damage before making any decisions.

Why do you want to disable it? It only comes on if the front wipers are on and you shift to reverse. The idea is you're backing up in rain or snow and you should be looking at your mirrors, including the rearview mirror and the wiper clears the glass so you can see.

Have you checked your owner's manual?

The simple engineering of the turbo 4 with it's air to air intercooler and belt driven water pump is proving to be more reliable than the turbo V6 in the Tundra.

I agree. In some ways vehicles have too much power now because their owners aren't responsible enough to handle it. I've been passed many times by pickups doing 80-90 mph towing a trailer. The trucks have so much power now, towing thousands of pounds is nothing. A Ford high ouput power stroke...

My guess would be that same indicator changes color to amber and is accompanied by a low fuel message when the low fuel warning is triggered.

I guess I'm lucky that my off road needs is getting to my favorite fishing spots which is why I wanted a 4WD Limited instead of a TRD Off Road. If I needed something with more off road capabilities I don't know what I would do. Part of me is still disappointed because I've wanted a 4R since the...

I think the problem is more with the lack of information and communication from Toyota. I put a deposit down on 4R Limited FT4WD in white with brown interior on 3/3/25. I already knew that the 4R was in high demand and I would have to wait for delivery. All of March passes and dealer says they...

It's an electric compressor and the high voltage battery powers it. Toyota has done their hybrids like this since the early 2000s Prius.

Can't speak for the 4R but on my Ford F-150 with a manual system the computer still has partial control over the system. If it's not that hot (81 isn't that hot) I can't get the vent temperature to go lower than about 45, even on Max A/C. When I first bought it I thought it had weak A/C. But...

The 4Runner wiper IS innovative. It was literally the first hidden rear wiper that lifts off the glass in a park position. GM copied the design later and so did Ford. None of them are able to make a full 90 degree sweep of the glass. One of the reasons is probably that the wiper motor has to...

Have you had any rear wiper that does what the 4Runner wiper does? How about submitting an engineering schematic of how you would make a retractable wiper that lifts off the window, hidden when not in use and be able to wipe 90 degrees across the glass since Toyota doesn't know how to do it right.

This isn't anything new, transmissions have been doing this for some time now. They do this to match your driving style and make the shifting more comfortable for you. If you drive aggressively they learn to hold gears longer and down shift quicker. Drive more relaxed and they will upshift...

At least you have an estimate. I put a deposit down on a Limited 4WD in early March and to this date the dealer has no idea when they will get an allocation for one. I live in the south and apparently Toyota is in no hurry to send 4WD Limiteds down here and now they're on hold to make it even...

Something is wrong with them. Toyota is very good at quickly recognizing problems. They are noticing a trend in warranty claims or dealers reporting issues after their PDI and have decided to pause deliveries for inspections. I think it’s a good way of addressing issues before being sold to...

I just wrote this in another post but it seems relevant here. My dealer still doesn't have an allocation for a Limited spec'd with FT4WD and portebello interior, the one I put a deposit down on. Stopped to look at a Passport yesterday and I was impressed. The Passport Trailsport Elite has more...
