Thanks for the suggestions. The 4Runner sits under a carport, so it has plenty of exposure to fresh air. I’ll try turning the A/C off and switching recirculation off before parking, but I’ve never had to do that with any of my previous vehicles (Mitsubishi, Chevy, Saturn, Subaru). If that ends...
Hey everyone. I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed a couple of things with the HVAC on the 2025 SR5 with the manual controls.
Musty smell from the A/C
I’m in Colorado, where it is usually pretty dry, but I am getting a musty or mildew smell from the A/C when the truck first starts up. It...
The crossbars have one side that is smooth and round. The other is more angled and has a “lip” or spoiler at the top. Wind noise went down for me when I faced this spoiler or lip side towards the front of the car. I took mine on a quick drive to test it out. I did think that this way was...
Wow. That made a HUGE difference. Lip pointing to the front is definitely the correct way for wind noise. While there is still some noise around 70ish it's nowhere near as bad. If wind noise is a problem, I'd highly recommend checking the orientation of the lip. Thanks to @Tarekith for the...
I just rotated the crossbars to have the lip facing the front. I'll report back once I drive on the highway and let y'all know if there was any improvement.
I just ordered some cross bars from Toyota and had them shipped to my house. Installed them this weekend and immediately noticed how loud they are. I mean they are really loud. Anything over 55mph and they become noticeable and I don’t even have a moonroof. My previous vehicle was a Subaru...
Agreed. From what I saw, pre-production SR5s that the media saw included heated seats; however, that feature was later removed (likely to encourage people to purchase a higher trim). That's a good location and clean install. I live in Colorado and may end up adding these as well. Thanks for the...
Those tires look great! Have you noticed any major impact on MPG? How are the dealer-installed heated seats, and do you have any pictures of where they put the switch?
Those look great in your profile pic. These are what I'm leaning towards, and it's good to hear that someone else likes them! The slightly bigger size fits the wheel well nicely.
Looking to swap out the stock 245/70/17s on my SR5 and could use some advice.
It’s primarily my daily driver, but I also need it to handle winter trips to the ski resorts and summer runs out to remote camping spots. I don’t want to give up too much in terms of mpg, road noise, or ride quality...
