Drove from Upstate SC to Marathon, FL. I have a TRD Pro, stock set-up with some extra underbody protection. Broke the drive up over two days. Used 87 and generally stayed 5mph over the speed limit on the interstate. Encountered a lot of stopped freeway traffic in the Jacksonville area on the...

100% agree on the half-backers. The situation is the same in Upstate SC. They are everywhere. In SC, I believe if the damage is >$1000 you have to file a police report. Sounds like the lady would’ve sustained $1000 worth of damage and then some. Getting the police involved also protects you...

What model case is that?

My main reasons for getting the 4Runner were reliability, lower maintenance costs, resale value and off-road capabilities. It checks all those boxes and I’m slowly selling off the euro cars as the kiddos fly the coop. Since I’m not retired yet, it is my daily driver but also camp and off-road...

Since you were in North GA and the Smokies, did you have a chance to get it off the pavement? How did it perform?

Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Love the truck and especially the dogs.

Y'all getting >20 freedom units must live in bizarro world where you only ever have to drive downhill with a tailwind.

I didn't mention that we have also linked our fobs to our profiles. My wife always has her fob on her but it is clear the vehicle is choosing the correct profile because the seat, mirrors and the information display going to our personalized settings. Including my phone being initially linked...

Nodak - thanks for the reply. This is exactly what we’ve done - tie our phones and driver settings to our profiles. I’ve even specified my profile as the primary driver. It still seems to want to switch to her phone when we are together.

I use Apple Maps and Apple Music exclusively over Toyota navigation. CarPlay works great for me until my wife gets in the car. She’s a secondary driver. When I’m alone the CarPlay connection is solid. When she’s in the car with me, the 4Runner correctly connects to my phone but about 10...

On the trail in Jocassee Gorges yesterday. Back home in time for the late afternoon tournament games and a 🍺. It's been really dry in the SE so not too muddy other than a couple of stream crossings.

I'm not attempting to compare actual MPG numbers between the two vehicles but comparing the fact that both engines are turbocharged. I fully realize that conditions were not ideal and yes the xc90 would've suffered too. I'm hoping that the 4Runner turbo performs better in the summer similar to...

Drove back from the Carolina beaches to the Upstate yesterday. Hills, temps in the mid-40s and a brisk headwind.....rocked 15.5 MPG. Not impressed. I was in Normal mode doing 75-80 mph, no hard accelerations. Hopefully the summer brings better results. I've noticed on my XC90 (4cyl, turbo +...

I have a 9 year old Treeing Walker Coonhound. When we aren’t hauling camping gear or suitcases, he’s in the cargo area. He jumps in most of the time on his own but sometimes I have to lift him if he’s being stubborn about leaving a park or something. When we are roadtripping, I have a back...

Do they come as a pair or 1 each?

Bought the TH transmission and differential skid plates during the Toyota Parts sale. Mounted them Friday. Watched a video of the skid plates going on a Tacoma. Wasn’t quite the same for getting the transmission skid on. So struggled a bit to figure out how to get it mounted under the TRD...

Chemical Engineer by degree. Currently a Project Manager at a global engineering and construction company. I’ll hit 25 years with them in a few months.

My 2026 TRD Pro came with threaded holes. Not sure if it was a lucky draw or if it is widespread.

Took delivery earlier this week and had an off-Friday to play. So I gassed it up, reset the MPG/ trip computers and headed out on a 100 mile trip from Greenville, SC. Did all back country driving down to Francis Marion NF and hit about 10-15 miles of trail and then back roads through small...

My black on black 2026 TRD Pro was delivered today after 3 months of waiting. Looking forward to many years of fun.
