That is not the yellow I was hoping for. Wanted a real yellow like the supra or gr86. Prius had a good yellow as well. This is a weak butterscotch color. Just my opinion im sure some like it. Waverunner was fun. I wouldn't call this fun, its like a bad luxury car color.
"It's never happened to me so it must be impossible" :ROFLMAO: believe what you want but it is an easily verified phenomenon. You can find dozens of articles and news stories about this online. It is not just from a 100 degree temps, it is from the sun being focused by somthing like a window on...
One time my sister was moving a convex makeup mirror in her back seat and it caught the sun and burned a hole through the passenger seat. Luckily all that foam is flame retardant but it filled up her car with gross smoke. I have heard of this happening with binoculars left on the dashboard as well.
For sure. I just know buyers remose and mpg chasing makes people do irrational things sometimes. Op said "I can pick up a beater and 5th gen for almost what I can get in an after tax trade at a dealer. That seems like a bad deal. If I were them, I would give up looking a 5th Gen 4runners. They...
5th gen (17 mpg)+beater car = platinum 4runner? Save $400 a week? Not very good math. Keep the platinum and buy a beater car. Or you could get a brand new sr5 4runner and buy a couple year old camry. 5th gen is going to be a big disappointment coming from 6th.
Camry is way more roomy than prius and basically just as efficient. New prius has terrible visibility and low headroom. You can find used crown signias for a great price around me. The take a much larger depreciation hit than other toyotas. I almost bought one and enjoyed the test drive, very...
It's always cool watching those test videos and seeing how much technology there is in cars these days to keep occupants safe.
From the owners manual section on airbags:
That looks cool, however that will almost certainly interfere with the side curtain airbags that stop your/your passengers head from smashing the glass in an accident.
I had the iforce max and my girlfriend didnt like to drive it, she said the throttle was too touchy, and I agreed. Eco, normal, sport didnt make a difference. Traded it in for the gas and while it has less torque it feels way less touchy from a stop.
ARB likes to show a lot of products you can't buy lol. I think ARB has been posting pictures of this built 4runner for over a year at this point but still hasnt released a skid plate, bumper, or roof rack shown. Also it doesn't look like they sell an aluminum UCA for any vehicle.
Welcome to the forum and nice 4runner! Your question about tires is probably the number one topic on this forum. There are hundreds of threads already discussing this if you use the magnifying glass at the top right you can find them. Here is one to start...
So I bought this product and it works as described. Snaps into place well and looks good. The plastic is very thin. When you open it the door flips down putting force on the little plastic pieces of the hinge. Have a feeling this will break sooner than later, but we will see. Would be a good...
Thanks. Is that the 59 inch length x49 width platform?
I already have rhino rack crossbars but would rather switch to a platform, i think i can use the same "feet" from my crossbars. The next size platform up is 75 inches long which seems pretty long for the rails on the 4runner.
There is another thread about the lexland handle. They are a "pre order" item, they dont exist yet. The photos are AI, if you look at them closely the product doeant really make sense.
Companies do this to judge interest and if enough people order one they might figure out a way to make it.
Thanks for the report on the tires! I just figure if pirelli makes versions for gas and electric, I would rather have the gas version.
I am not a tire expert, So I could be wrong about all this, but low rolling resistance, more durable tires for electric vehicles do have less grip. It is the...
