  1. 4Runner Oil Catch Can (SXTH Element)

    I don't see the value in this product. It "solves" an issue the Toyota engineers have already managed/accounted for via DI/PI. Why introduce extra maintenance steps or additional points of failure from more hoses/connections, when there's really no need for it? Sure, the engine uses a turbo, but...
  2. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    Part of the issue of your gas mileage on that trip is comparing apples to oranges with your XC 90. Before runner is always going to get worse gas mileage than that vehicle due to body shape alone. 75 to 80 is also going to eat into your efficiency regardless of speed limit allowances. You had...
  3. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    at ~10,600 and still getting 21-22+ easy. highway between 65-75mph I can reliably get 23-25. not sure how all of you are getting such crap mpg...
  4. Drivers side front noise still happening

    not much help here, but it looks like the noise increases as rpm increases. that's.....disconcerting
  5. Recommended engine break-in and oil change frequency + factory oil analysis test (by Motor Oil Geek)

    I figure any oil is sufficient as long as it’s changed regularly. If you’re using the factory rating 0w20, it won’t make much difference to the turbo if you use the super expensive stuff versus the cheaper stuff. Frequency trumps price as additives will almost always be present at high ratios...

    The lady we get ours from has a yeast that's been passed down through the family from the late 1800's... If true, it's amazing how something like that can survive.
  7. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    this was a trip from Kingwood to the Woodlands on 99 for our weekly sourdough pickup, with some neighborhood driving as well. 99 was 70-75mph. off highway was probably between 25-45mph. Nothing special, just in eco mode.
  8. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    this is pretty average. Mostly eco, but some normal mode. 87 oct
  9. "...lacks a manual because nobody's asking for it"

    They're never going to offer a manual in the new 4runner, or any in the future more than likely, regardless of spec. Nobody wants it in any meaningful proportion. Toyota also doesn't want to waste CAFE %'s on such a small percentage of it's customer base. It's not happening. If you want one...
  10. Nevermind

    Definitely not a douche for asking a question. It's the "action" that earns the title. Sure, you may like the sound of a raspy 4 cylinder, but 99% of everyone else hates it. I know several cars around me that are owned by teens/early 20's kids that have their clapped out pos brz, g86, infiniti...
  11. Nevermind

    absolutely hate the douche bags in my area that gut their muffler/cats just for popping. It sounds like complete trash. Nobody wants to listen to a shitty 4/6 cyl with no exhaust…
  12. Long trip ahead (Anyone traveled super far yet?)

    depends on average speed. you can easily get 20+mpg at 70mph. mountains would obviously reduce that, but then again, nobody buys this type of vehicle for its fuel efficiency... It's perfectly comfortable, as long as it's comfortable for you. you can make seat angle adjustments with blocks if...

    It's not the battery for the most part. it's the stop and go traffic. apples and oranges for the subaru
  14. Hybrid Real World MPG (iForce Max) - post your model, specs, general driving conditions, results:

    ~9600 miles, stock, 22.3 overall average, eco/normal, 87oct. Just did an ~80ish mile round trip yesterday and averaged 24.2. Don't know how y'all are getting such trash mpg... heavy foot? always in sport? towing a lot? lots of elevation gain? Have to expect crappy mpg with bigger/heavier...
  15. Air dam falling off

    The best option is simply to eliminate the air dam in the first place. Take it off, toss it in the recycling bin.
  16. Is this a hard to find 4 Runner?

    since Toyota does not take custom orders, I think the likelihood that you find one is slim to none...
