I have a Curt Bluetooth Brake Controller. Easiest thing ever. No need to install one in your 4Runner. You take care of the settings through an app on your phone. The only real purpose of the Bluetooth function is to set the proper brake settings. You can also manually brake the trailer through...
I am more than content with the size and look of the 265/70R18 Falken Wildpeak A/T4W that I just put on (but I do have the black TRD wheels). Sure, bigger would look even more aggressive, but I just need functionality primarily in the snow and minor off road while also being quiet on the road...
My Off Road Premium Hybrid is 265/70R18 stock (black wheels). Yours are 245? I just put on Falken Wildpeak A/T4W of the same size as stock. I know this doesn’t help you, but I was surprised to read 245 tire width on yours. Anyway, this is how it looks with 265/70R18 Wildpeak A/T4W’s..
Such a great looking ride. I see you removed the air dam too. I did the same. Such a better look, and that thing will break eventually anyway. My only other consideration (in addition to tires) is swapping out the stock running boards for the TRD running boards. Those are super cool looking and...
There are precisely 9 screws holding this on. Oddly, two of them had Phillips head capability; though all were hex on mine. It was fastened securely, but I took it off anyway. Most people seem to be doing that. I like how it looks without it, and that thing may get damaged depending on how...
I just picked up my ORP Hybrid yesterday! Your ride will most likely come with Michelin LTX Trail tires (as mine did). The non hybrid 4Runner comes with Falken Wildpeaks. Are you trying to get the tire upgrade from the dealer? You can get SL's aftermarket at a tire store in the A/T4W, but it...
Just picked up my ORP Hybrid. We will tow our 2022 NOBO 19.5, but it’s only 3800 lbs dry weight with 365 lb dry tongue weight. Check the specs of the trailer, and be sure to stay under 6K pounds fully loaded. Equally as important, also check the tongue weight vs payload. That NOBO may be quite...
No bubble bursted. I want the extra torque. The hybrid is a torque monster. Not in a hurry to go 0-60 in a SUV ?. Ventilated seats - absolutely! Very excited about that. No more swamp arse…will feel good on hot days.
Picking up my Off Road Premium Hybrid tomorrow! We went hybrid since we tow a trailer. The extra torque will be very much appreciated for that purpose while also appreciating a few extra miles around town. If we weren't towing, then I would have considered the non hybrid but not sure which...
I hear you. If I towed more than 3-4 times per year, I’d probably think otherwise. Also, it’s basically impossible to get the color, specs, etc. that I want and also have the tow tech. And frankly, the Curt Bluetooth is great, so I won’t miss that part. That was my point. The integrated brake...
I really don’t think a spare phone is necessary. Most of the time, I don’t even have the Curt Echo app open. Not needed if you’re happy with the settings. Push your brake pedal, and the trailer brakes activate. It’s that simple. The app is ONLY to set your desired settings. You can use the app...
I have read through as many threads as I can to determine how important the tow tech package would be for me since it's not easy to locate a 4Runner in desired model with desired specs otherwise. I have historically used the Curt Echo Bluetooth Wireless Brake Controller and love it. The...
I have learned that Michelins will be on the hybrid. Not as tough looking and also not snow rated (three peak mountain snowflake symbol) like the Falkens. Kinda disappointed since I will spend time in the snow, and sometimes you can't pass checkpoints, but oh well. Can replace later (or right...
Nice ride. I have an underground paint TRD Off-Road Premium i-Force MAX en route with the TRD black wheel option! I was under the impression that the TRD black wheels come with Wildpeaks only on the non hybrid model and that Michelins are included for hybrid models. I see yours came with...
