I am sure you know all this, but will say as a reminder anyway: With new you get a longer warranty. You know its past. I would want to save a fair amount of $$ to buy used rather than new, but would certainly consider a same-generation used one if it is a good deal. Have it checked by a good...

That seems an odd response...if it came with the vehicle, installed by the factor, or even dealer if an OEM sourced part, they should cover it. Many parts on vehicles are not made by Toyota (I expect spark plugs, for example, are not) but are still available through them. If you dealer is not...

There is a lot of discussion on this forum about hybrid/non-hybrid. There is even a similar one in the last week from someone else planning a first-time new purchase. So, search those out. I will summarize some of my comments I made there and elsewhere: FIrst, the comments above are very good...

Interesting, I always wondered what that sound was! "Fill function in here" by wire is very common. Likely backups are in place, plus very reliable in the first place. Navy vessels and fighter jets have been using this for a long time...if good enough for them it is probably good enough for our...

Doesn't rain here enough to know, but could there be some drain holes that are plugged?

Great responses. I decided on the Off Road Premium (ORP) Hybrid. Originally I was going to save the $$ by not going premium, but the more I looked at those extra features, the more it made sense. I am very happy with that decision. I do some off-roading, but not rock crawling (I am more...

My dealer did offer to show me the vehicle options, but I declined as I had read most of the manual before I picked it up. I hear people about poor or nonexistent manuals a lot (not as much for vehicles) but I suspect many that complain about that would never read them anyway. It really does a...

@Wandering Sagebrush, @josiahg52 and other old fogies (please read that with the kindness, respect, and levity I intend!) I do not agree with the comments about these safety features being nanny features, politician driven or otherwise. I do absolutely agree with your comment that they are...

So the 4Runner comes with a free shower! :-) Interesting. I would have thought there would not be anywhere for much water to collect. Hope others can give us some good info on tnat.

No comments on the rest (as I probably have less knowledge than you) but why not just use the OEM skid plate set? They just bolt on, no mods necessary. I did it on my ORP Hybrid myself with no problems. If you can be a little patient Toyota has sales on quite a bit--I paid about $700 for the...

In case you are not aware...if you *really* do not like the kick sensor, or simply never want to use it, you can disable that in settings. I do find it useful though on occasion.

I have gotten more used to it. Kick at the "e" in 4Runner. Fairly quick kick (less than one second I think), do not actually kick the bumper. The latter 2 are from the user manual.

I am still a bit confused to the problem--when I put the driver seat all the way back as far as it goes there is still plenty of room to tumble the back seat all the way up. A couple things i thought of: I have a 2025 ORP that has the fully power seats. Do you have this or the manual ones...

@JustSomeGuy wrote about tumbling the rear seat with the driver seat all the way back. Not being tall I have not noticed this, so of course I had to try it. Of course I did not try it actually driving, as I would have to tape a 2x4 to my right foot like Short Round (maybe not quite...). But, I...

Thanks, I figured (and hoped) the point was that you wanted capacity and were just topping it off. However, the model you stated is not the smart version--their web page specifically says not to use it as a battery charger and to use the smart version instead. Charging batteries requires...

The kick sensor seems a bit fiddly, although I think more just getting used to it. Finde the correct location--as I recall it is under the letter "e" in 4Runner. Using that as a guide makes it much more reliable! I think it helps too if you kick a little deep under the vehicle, although I really...

Get it fixed under warranty? I have not seen this problem. Normally I have the back turned off (light on, which is a bit counterintuitive) but have had it automatically detected or manually enabled and it works as expected. There is more airflow in the front with the back is disabled but works...

I have had this happen, but I think I have figured out the cause, at least on closing. I think it is very sensitive to the position of the key fob. If I try closing it with the key in my pocket away from the door it often does as you describe. If I make sure the key is more toward the door it...

I am a bit confused...do you have a charge controller in the trailer? Or are you connecting this Orion directly to the LiFePO4 battery? If the latter, do not do that. Very bad. If the former, why are you using the Orion device? Also, do you have an additional method of charging the LiFePO4...

1. I find it interesting the varying MPG numbers. It appears that Pro and Trailhunter may generally experience less, but I also hear ORP and others giving poor numbers. Over 17,000+ miles I average between 23 and 24 MPG (not counting actual off-road travel). 2. I think almost everyone agrees...
