  1. Getting Poor Gas Mileage

    Sometimes you get lucky, these things typically aren't all that accurate cuz it's not like they have a meter showing how much gasoline is going in your vehicle.
  2. Getting Poor Gas Mileage

    I've been filling up the same way for 45 years and checking gas mileage with pen and paper for the same amount of time. When the gas station pump shuts off I squeeze it again in case the pump pressure valve isn't working correctly. Even if there was a difference of a tiny bit of gas that...
  3. Getting Poor Gas Mileage

    I keep a logbook with my mileage and check it the old-fashioned way with math. It's surprising that the onboard computer is as much as three to five MPG off from actual mileage.
  4. Getting Poor Gas Mileage

    I've had my Trailhunter about 7 months now. I'm averaging close to 18 MPG. On a long trip from Central Texas to Colorado and back I averaged 19 MPG, the lowest mileage was and the best was 21. The mileage didn't start creeping up until I had over 2,000 miles on it. With all the extra weight from...
  5. Getting Poor Gas Mileage

    The iforce Max hybrid is more about the power and not getting extra gas mileage. The Subaru is a different story.
  6. Overall a good truck, but a big Fail and a bit of a miss

    Main reason for selling it was rust. No matter how well I took care of it it was just falling apart although the engine and drivetrain were fine. But in 1985 it was awesome. After moving away from the Texas coast I bought a Toyota Matrix in December of 2005, it just turned 20 and is in...
  7. 2025 4Runner turning on iphone WiFi

    Apple carplay and Android auto use both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for the connection to your phone. I have external Wi-Fi I use while traveling and or use the built-in Wi-Fi on the head unit. You can't use both, so the best option for me was buying a short USBC cable and plugging your phone directly...
  8. Jump starting another car battery with the hybrid 4Runner

    You're wrong, they have a 12-volt battery, they have an alternator but they do not have a starter. I own a Trailhunter, it has no starter. The electric motor starts the vehicle. That's how hybrids work.
  9. Jump starting another car battery with the hybrid 4Runner

    Yes, you can jump the 12-volt battery on the hybrid. That 12 volt battery on the hybrid is not used for anything other than the computers, it does not start the engine directly. The hybrids do not have a starter.
  10. Jump starting another car battery with the hybrid 4Runner

    The Trailhunter like I have and the TRD Pro do have alternators, they assume you're going to put accessories like winches on them. The Trailhunter and pro lso has a 2400 w inverter for AC power and to run whatever high wattage appliance you want to take ,You could definitely plug an AC powered...
  11. Jump starting another car battery with the hybrid 4Runner

    I would suggest you carry one of those small lithium jump packs. They work great even in cold weather, The battery in the hybrids aren't meant for starting the vehicle, only powering the accessories and computer. And in the event you ever run your battery down just attach that and everything...
  12. Wireless Android Auto Connection Issue on 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium (Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Android 16)

    Plug into the USBC port on the side of your infotainment center, press the volume button on the entertainment system to reboot. You should be connected after that. If not check the quality of your USBC cord.
  13. Alpine speaker upgrade kit for 2025+ 4runner 6th gen (8 or 12 Speaker Plug & Play Bundle Install by Trail Grid Pro)

    Alpine as a brand aren't really much better than the stock speakers are. Jbl and Alpine are considered entry-level base model speakers.
  14. Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice (Comparison Test Review)

    Well the Mickey Thompsons at that size are unnecessary. That is unless you drive your vehicle 100% off-road.
  15. Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice (Comparison Test Review)

    I agree, I've watched several other reviews with similar results and it's disappointing.
  16. Wireless Android Auto Connection Issue on 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road Premium (Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Android 16)

    I've had similar experiences with my pixel 10 Pro XL. What finally seemed to be the best option for me, I have a phone mount attached to the start switch so the phone magnetically sits right next to the display and I run a short USBC cable and leave it plugged in all the time. On the occasions...
  17. Best All-Terrain A/T Tires in Snow & Ice (Comparison Test Review)

    With an overwhelming number of really great at tires out there it's hard to find the perfect one. The same review site recently mentioned the new Pirelli Scorpion XTM A\T that seem to click all the boxes for both on-road and off-road. Currently driving a Trailhunter 4Runner and the Toyo Open...
  18. Overall a good truck, but a big Fail and a bit of a miss

    I went from a generation one 4Runner to the Trailhunter (with a 15-year gap)I can't complain about anything in the 6th gen because it's better in every single way. I know the back seats aren't perfect for some but compared to the first gen that had rear fixed seats that wouldn't move or fold...
  19. Overall a good truck, but a big Fail and a bit of a miss

    There are plenty of cases that work very well with wireless charging. I use peak designs case and it definitely keeps up with the charge on my pixel 9 Pro, Even while using onyx off-road.
  20. Overall a good truck, but a big Fail and a bit of a miss

    Plug your phone directly into the side usb port on the side of the screen display. It charges faster and Android auto also works better along with that Apple equivalent. There are also advantages to plugging it in that way, you can also use external Wi-Fi devices like starlink or the built-in...
