Thank you for this info! Yeah I have the aux switches in mine specifically so I can have an alternator AND the hybrid system. That was a must for me.

Does anyone know the specs of the alternator that comes installed on the Hybrid models? I plan on installing an audio system in the near future and wanted to spec it out accordingly to not exceed the electrical system. I've seen warnings to not push more than 30 Amps but that just doesn't seem...

I've had my ORP for a few months now. Doors rattle, seatbelt rattles, sun roof rattles. It's outrageous how much these 6th gens rattle for the amount of money we pay for them. If you so much as play any amount of music that has mid-bass above volume 10, the doors sound like they're filled with...

Considering the 4Runner Hybrid pack is more than 7 times smaller in capacity than a modern Prius battery, it's going to cycle a lot more than the Prius would, but for a shorter amount of time. As for time on to time off, I've sat in a parking lot with it running and A/C full blast, and the...

Sounds interesting. If you have the chance could you post some fly-bys and interior driving clips?

It depends what drive mode you're in. If you're in Sport it'll hold the RPM longer compared to being in Normal or Eco. If you're in Tow mode it'll hold it longer for engine braking purposes to save your brakes from getting too hot. I drive in sport mode 99% of the time, and noticed it likes to...

If you're braking and going downhill, then a downshift for engine braking is normal. If you're just coasting and it downshifts that would be concerning. Odds are If the transmission had an issue it'd throw a code.

Completely normal on every car. Happens more if you park after spirited driving.

That is the sound of metal cooling off and contracting. It's your exhaust.

Straight up scammed. I bought 6qts of Pennzoil Platinum for $46, and an OEM filter for a few bucks more. Anything more than $100 if you bring it somewhere to be done is highway robbery.

I've been searching weekly trying to find any brand/company that will be releasing a complete upgrade kit that is plug and play. Is anyone aware of any that are currently in development or have already been released? I don't mean something like the Beatsonic box. I'm looking for a full...

If I was in your position with an essentially brand new vehicle that's paid off and is known to hold it's value, I'd put another 25k miles on it, wait until 2027 then get a 6th gen. You'll most likely lose VERY little if any on your 2023 by waiting a couple of years. Just my two cents.

Yeah I like aFe. I ordered their dry filter CAI and it's arriving tomorrow. I have my eye on the Apollo, just need to hear some sound clips first. Really hope that sound chamber removes any 4 banger rasp.

Just got an email from aFe stating they just released a new exhaust system for the standard & hybrid 4Runner. Very interesting design with a tuned sound expansion tube. You usually only see that kind of style on highly customized exhaust systems. I'm very eager to hear some sound clips and...

Perfect opportunity to use the headlight adjustment! ?

Sweet! I ordered mine a week ago and haven't received any updates. How long did yours take to arrive after you ordered it?

JBL System, TRD ORP. Has anyone had an issue with getting a distinct rattle in the front doors when playing music at a louder volume? If so, have you found a solution? It's driving me nuts. It's definitely coming from inside or around the doors. A loose wire knocking around maybe? Very minor...

2014 JKU Willys -> 2025 TRD ORP

I was not charged any tariff fee nor was the 4Runner marked up. Dealership told me Toyota "took care of it." Whatever that may mean.

Helix amps? I had a system installed in my Jeep years ago as well. Had a Helix V Eight Amp + DSP and a Helix One for an Adire Audio Brahma 12. I plan on going the same route in the 4Runner. Those amps are absolutely incredible. Well worth the money if you can find someone that knows how to...
