  1. Edmunds hates the 6th Gen 4Runner.

    Consumer Reports did a similar hatchet job. Then what else would you expect from them. They even claimed people in the rear seat were "tossed around". Then again who takes either of those rags seriously.
  2. Moving dash controls to the MM display

    Or you can look like a lunatic in traffic yelling at the steering wheel. Apparently voice commands will adjust temp., fan speed, on off AC , or power up/down the whole mess. The defrost is not in there but AC will solve that. I think seat heat/cooling is in there. Looks like I won't have to...
  3. Moving dash controls to the MM display

    You are onto something. I wear bifocals, lower great for reading, upper great for distance. Dashboard is in between and blurry. I bought a pair of driving glasses but they ended up a PITA. So it goes. 🤓
  4. Moving dash controls to the MM display

    It is sort of interesting. All the other things I have driven I pretty much get it fairly quickly. Not this one, 7000 miles, one year and the only one I can safely (sort of) use is the fan control. Even then I have to look down to find the correct one. Either I am not intuitive or the controls...
  5. Moving dash controls to the MM display

    Is it possible to add/move the five or six heating/AC/etc toggle switches to the MM display. I am having a difficult time safely using them while driving. Too much time with eyes off the road to identify and actuate the things. Any other suggestions to safely use these would be appreciated...
  6. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    Couple of things to be aware of. Twisting the wire could cause it to kink, that will prevent removing the wire. Somehow I know this...... The rear drains may be difficult to locate. I did not find mine in a quick look. Maybe consult the manual. No compressed air down the drain. Some drains are...
  7. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    I feel like Captain Queeg chasing this leak down but I think there may be a couple of causes. First is a bead of sealant was laid down along the bottom of the door. It appears its purpose is to keep the lower flap on the plug from closing completely. If the bead is not placed correctly (which I...
  8. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    To early for sunroof drain clogging on 25 26 model's sunroof. It is also dependent on where the truck is parked. Parking under pines, maples, and other sap type trees will get that stuff washed through the drains to the duckbill (on some vehicles) where it turns to epoxy. Have gone through it...
  9. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    I think you are on to something. I read somewhere the weight of the water will open the flapper. Maybe 50 feet of water would but no way moisture would open it. Looking closely at the body contours around the plug on the good doors it does look like the flap on that rubber piece has a gap...
  10. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    All three plugs on the passenger door were non functional. Other doors seem to be ok when I removed them although wet inside. Impossible to seal a moving part on the vehicle. they use planned leakage design. Sun roofs are notorious because sealing them tight leads to jamming. There is a...
  11. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    Just a note to others to add to the check list. Pulling out of the driveway I heard gushing sound. Stepped on the brakes more reversed gushing sounds. At first thought it was the sunroof. Narrowed it down to the pas. door. Seems the plugs are defective or installed improperly. They were not...

    I would have been banned for life if the audio was sent 🤬
  13. Yikes Why is the bilge pump running?

    I don't know, better get below and find out.
  14. Looking for an anti-rattle hitch clamp

    In addition to the Curt version above I have also had success with good old aluminum shims.
  15. Emergency lighting suggestions

    I was going through a checklist of things for a trip. It was getting dark by the time I got to the spare tire to check the pressure. The valve stem is on the top of the tire so it needs to be dropped. It was a great experience because I quickly realized there is no way I could do this in the...
  16. Toyota OEM floor mats and one year review

    I don't recall if they were included with the truck-probably not. They are heavy duty thick, I have no complaint there, it is the coverage. That mess is after one winter of light use of the truck. I have bought other types but they seem to turn a whacky brownish gray.
  17. Toyota OEM floor mats and one year review

    FWIW had known this limitation I probably would not have bought the Toyota mats. Was doing some Fall cleaning on the inside and found a salt cache by the accelerator. Vacuum didn't touch it. Soaking it with water will likely just send it deeper into the floor. Second winter will make it worse...
  18. Utter disappointing. Loss in quality. Rusting and salt splashing

    Not sure Toyota's warranty is voided by driving in winter weather. Sometimes good, sometimes bad info is vomited into the forum.
  19. Utter disappointing. Loss in quality. Rusting and salt splashing

    Sorry for all the grief you are getting. Something is amiss here. Nothing should look like that in such a short time. Not sure if your state consumer agency could get into this. They are usually pretty good with these things. I would go in the direction of significant loss in resale value and...
  20. Is hands-free opening standard with a power rear hatch?

    Mine is off. Tired of getting strange looks dancing around the rear end of the truck at the grocery story. The feature is only reliable when you are connecting a trailer or trying to connect the safety chains and wiring pigtail. Both locations require you work on your knees under the bumper...
