  1. Newby alert…

    Very nice looking! I love the black accents on the Platinum. Nice it had the FT 4x4 too. I don't see many Platinums on the lots.
  2. Can you get the digital rear view mirror close to the headliner?

    I think what they are saying is being tall, positions them higher in the vehicle, and then the mirror itself blocks the front view out the windshield. They want the mirror to be able to be up higher in the vehicle.
  3. Power Tailgate Issue: leaving it open over night and the next morning it will not shut

    Here is why your 2025 4Runner tailgate requires this manual reset: Safety and System Calibration: The power tailgate requires a manual, full-closed cycle to re-calibrate its position sensors. If left open for an extended period, the system may lose its "home" position or the sensors may become...
  4. 12v battery dead

    Here is what my search revealed about the 12V battery in our 4 Runner Hybrid system being able to crank over the gas engine without the Hybrid battery. I didn't know our Hybrid system had a 12 volt conventional starter. Based on the design of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Hybrid (i-FORCE MAX), yes...
  5. 12v battery dead

    Yes you're correct, 12 V battery being located in the passenger compartment requires a vent hose connected to the battery vent port to route the gasses outside. Probably the main difference with the battery being a different part number is the CCA (cold cranking amp) rating of the battery. From...
  6. 12v battery dead

    The way I understand it is, you are correct in saying the electric motor is responsabile for starting (cranking) the ICE engine. But, it depends on a strong 12 volt battery to enable the systems electronic control modules, relays, and solenoids, to do so. The hybrid battery keeps the 12 volt...
  7. Terminal in under-hood passenger side fuse panel

    No, I never made it to the dealership to talk to a technician. However, in the meantime I saw a couple of articles on different forums where people were told it was alright to use and a couple of vendors that sell winches and light bars in their instuction manuals that is where they said to...
  8. Proper Parking Brake Procedure

    I Just don't take my foot off of the brake pedal until I see the parking brake apply by itself when I shift into park indicated by the park light on the instrument cluster. The whole idea is to not let the vehicle roll onto the parking pawl (pin) and be subjected to all of the vehicle weight...
  9. Battery Tender external receptacle install

    I too have had good battery life in my vehicles using the Tender. What you have is a good setup too. To keep me from driving off with the Tender attached I put a clothes-pin on the front drivers seat when the tender is connected. When I open my door I take the clothes-pin off the seat and...
  10. Battery Tender external receptacle install

    No, disconnecting the battery is not easier for me than just plugging it into the socket in front of the vehicle. Disconnecting the negative battery cable doesn't keep the battery chemically active and proper voltage maintained during storage. Disconnecting the battery does stop the parasitic...
  11. Battery Tender external receptacle install

    I'll have to get the model number off the Tender tomorrow but The connections I think are all the same on all of the Tenders I have. I connected the 16 guage positive wire to the battery terminal in the underhood passenger side fuse panel. I drilled a small hole in the side of the panel to allow...
  12. Battery Tender external receptacle install

    On occasion my TRD PRO will not be driven on a daily basis and could be sitting for a week or two. I like to keep a battery tender on my 12V battery during that time. To avoid having to open the hood and remove the fuse panel cover to install the Battery Tender, I installed an external Battery...
  13. Tail pipe tip for TRD pro 2025?

    If you drive with the rear tailgate window down on your 4Runner be aware that changing the airflow dynamics (extending the tail pipe) could possibly cause exhaust fumes to enter the cabin through the back tailgate window. Just something to think about.
  14. Everest Painted Tow Hooks

    I found you can purchase the spray color of your vehicle at O'Riely Auto Parts. It's $36 a can, and a perfet match for the last 3 vehicles I bought it for.
  15. Terminal in under-hood passenger side fuse panel

    Thanks for clearifying the "HV" for me. That was simple enough, just wasn't thinking, lol. Well I'm about to find out today hopefully. I don't have access to service manual information or a wiring diagram and I want to be sure before I use that terminal. I spent $72,000 for the Pro so I should...
  16. Terminal in under-hood passenger side fuse panel

    Not sure what you mean by "HV" manual. But if you're refering to High Voltage I'm not posting about the High Voltage battey here. I'm posting about the vehicle 12 volt battery here. Like I mentioned in my post, to jump start the vehicle or connect a battery tender to it, you connect to the...
  17. Not even 400 Miles and Getting all Types of Warnings⚠️

    Did you do any electrical mods to it that connect to the battery, or fuse panel?
  18. Reminder: you may be able to deduct the sales tax paid on your 4Runner purchase (US federal income taxes)

    This is about the SALT deduction not the loan interest deduction and In the beginning of the OP's post here on the second bullet he says this.
