13,600 miles which includes a 5,000 mile plus round trip from the NW tip of WA state to San Antonio TX not long after we took delivery in April 2025 and another 1,400 miles in round trips to Seattle to see the 2026 NFL Champion Seattle Seahawks games.

No mistaking mine for someone else's.

Less money in manual transmissions. I don't know of a single shade tree mechanic that can pull an automatic transmission and rebuild in in their driveway or if they care to try it swap it out auto transmissions. However generations of us older folks have pulled out manual transmissions and...

Had about 1,000 miles on ORP last April when we left on a road trip from the NW tip of WA State to San Antonio and back. Fifteen days and over 5,000 additional miles. Speed limits were 80mph in several areas. Other than a rock chip in the windshield somewhere in NM not a single complaint, even...

I for one like the OEM camera. Plug and play. I have played with it a bit. Unless you shut it off it films 2 minutes loops until you turn the camera or the vehicle off. By pushing the Action button you can film longer loops if there is something particular you want to record., It video can be...

You need better insurance. I have a $100 deductible that includes windshields.

I'm up in Bellingham. Did you take it down to Clackamas? Been looking for a mount. My days of doing my own installs are done. I want somebody who knows what they are doing for the install and a manufacturer I know and trust.

I have owned a few Warn winches and mounts. You stated this will be available Feb 2nd. Is this a Warn test bed and who performed the installation? What finish and materials? No information on their website yet. The best mount I have ever owned and still have is a Warn Transformer mount in...

I have owned a few Chevy trucks and a few Toyotas. Back in March I sold the 2003 Sequoia that we purchased new and picked up a TRD Off Road Premium. With about 1,000 miles on it we drove it from NW WA to San Antonio and back. Took it in for the 10,000 mile service today. Very pleased with it and...

Function over form. I'm the same way. Why spend money you don't need too. When a stock wheel on our 03 Sequoia showed signs of corrosion a couple of years ago I found a refurbished direct replacement rather than purchase four new rims as new OEM wheels were no longer available.

You have Les Schwab tire stores in CO. Take your ride to one of their shops and I'm betting one of their employees can test fit a pair of socks for you check. I too took note of what the manual says. I looked at a pair and did not think they would be up to the task I wanted them for which is...

I have driven 4X4s as my daily driver and as work vehicles since 1976. Sold our 2003 Sequoia to purchase the 4Runner and my 04 2500HD is still in the driveway. I never exercised the FWD systems on a regular bases, just used as needed especially in the fall and winter. Never had one fail on me...

Just what I am looking for. Minimal weight, minimal cutting, low profile and easy access to the winch. Like you my concern is snow. I figured a leveling kit to bring the nose/fairlead up and compensate for the added weight. Been looking and was going to decide in the spring. Please let us know...

Consumer Reports is still a good source of information for a lot of things but you are right about automotive evaluations. They tend to rate trucks and SUVs poorly because of ride and on road handling but that's what I think people look at these days. They want a truck or SUV with a rough and...

We sold our Sequoia that we purchased new in 2003 to buy the 4Runner. Interior furnishing/storage is my only real complaint. The ride is what I expected it to be and it both handles better and has more pep than the Sequoia did. However the 4Runner has less storage and what there is I consider an...

For those interested the Consumer Reports evaluation of the 2025 4Runner is out. Right now access is on-line only, Has not hit the printed edition yet. As one would expect it is rated much better than the Bronco or Jeep Wrangler. For this evaluation they rented a 2025 TRD Pro. They also...

These are the easiest and probably the safest, most versatile way to anchor/attach a tow strap or chain. Purchased this one from Warn Industries years ago and it has seen a lot of use on my 3/4 ton truck. Just ordered another one off Amazon so I can have one in each vehicle. Several different...

That is normal. Bothered me a bit when we first got our 4Runner but used to hearing it now. At first I thought it might create a battery issue but after leaving it parked in the garage or elsewhere for a couple of week long plus stretches with no issues I no longer worry about it.

Not sure why I have not had any problems with anything about our ride as others have. I realize that folks forgo the Zurich coating that Toyota pushes but I had it done anyway on our Cutting Edge finish just to try it before taking delivery back in March plus both upper and lower PPF. After...

Yes, that is correct.
