Well I decided to investigate again. Last time I had looked into this was January. Now information appears to suggest that the non-hybrids all have 8.2 inch axles. So if I was incorrect….my apologies.
I don’t. But the information regarding this is well established. In the 5th gen the axles were all the same size but in the 6th they made this adjustment. The off-road, trail hunter and pro get beefier axles. You can use chat to confirm. But again…it’s been firmly established that this is...
Also if your car is really dirty- salt etc…rinse the mit after each section. And make sure if you dry the vehicle you use a scratch resistant microfiber towel. Never use a car wash.
I haven’t heard anything. The engine in mine (non-hybrid) is one of the real strengths of the vehicle. Good power, smooth and pretty solid mpg. But who knows what the longevity will be. My guess would be that the engine will hold up if serviced properly.
I haven’t tried it but I am considering it. If you beat me to it let me know how you went about it. I think I would buy a made to order mat. Probably keep the cargo area one and then add a 2nd large one.
6th better driving dynamics. Not as much body sway and nose dive. Quicker too. Added power rear gate on upper trims and improved safety across the board.
5th gen- has the same axles on all trims and the interior is nicer (in terms of soft touch and less plastic look) in the cheaper ones...
My experience on the limited is the shocks are a little harsh. More so than I expected from the limited. Still a great vehicle. The interior is very nice.
I know the sr5 shocks are cheap or cheaper. But they do ride pretty smooth. Did you think about going that route? As far as finding some 6th gen SR5s used or buying new from Toyota?
