    Any experienced driver in canadian winter conditions knows when driving conditions are marginal as they start driving cautiously that is a good time to select 4hi be proactive dont wait until you get into trouble If the snow in a side street or driveway is particularly deep where the truck is...
  3. Drive Mode during Winter

    The answer is if you drive on paved surfaces definitely no If the pavement is covered in snow or icy and slippery yes 4 hi It can be engaged and disengaged on the move under 80 kph (check your manual for the actual speed) So it is very easy to go in and out of 4hi If you are driving on gravel or...
  4. Trailhunter 40th anniversary stripes

    Why just why? That stripe was awful on the 5th gen Looks a bit better on 6th gen but not by a lot
  5. Any regrets buying the 6th gen vs 5th gen

    Yeah traded a 2022 and yes I could have said the same Back seat when back there is actually better than one would expect and feels weirdly very similar to the 5th gen but some positives there is more room between the edge of the rear seat and the door and i suspect the seat base is longer...
  6. Impressions After One Week

    First thing to do is turn off most of the things that start with P That PDA thing is particularly obnoxious
  7. Why did you pick your 4Runner?

    It was for sale? Seriously look at the state of the world right now. Thought if this it, might as while go out in style chaps. Cant take the car payments with one..
  8. TPM on dash question - tire pressure shows dashes only

    If the vehicle engine is started the pressures will appear after a couple of minutes the vehicle doesn't have to move If you need to add air it takes a couple of minutes to display the new pressure Good idea check tires with a pressure guage and compare to what the tpms displays I have found...
  9. 6th gen vs 5th gen 4Runner decision

    So you take your Honda accord on slow uphill off road climbs? You have to specific about what sort of climbs you are talking about Steeper than found on public roads? If so a climb in dirt that steep cant be done with a Honda accord it doesn't have the gearing or the traction
  10. New Member/ Oil Analysis: 2026 4Runner Hybrid @ 1,370 miles

    Why mess around changing the oil grade? Just change the oil every 5000 miles. A turbo engine puts out about 30 to 50% more power and torque for the given capacity So 50% recommended interval should be good
  11. 6th gen vs 5th gen 4Runner decision

    Yes dirt,gravel,snow covered anything where one would be going at a normal road speed but needs extra traction Anything truly offroad that has to be driven at slow speeds Difficult terrain,slow tracks , mud Steep climbs and descents 4lo
  12. Any regrets buying the 6th gen vs 5th gen

    Concur with the black but gotta admit the offroad in black looks awesome just dont look to closely at the paint I swear it scratches looking at it
  13. 6th gen vs 5th gen 4Runner decision

    Slow offroading should always be done in 4L The transmission has 8 speeds for goodness sake Because of the low down torque of the engine some people are just keeping it in 4H because they dont have to stop and put it in neutral and shift to 4L The torque fools them into thinking its OK to do Its...
  14. 6th gen vs 5th gen: My Perspective

    6th gen is more like a Ford or a Jeep and certainly not old school toyota This will appeal to owners of Fords and Jeeps but could be bit disappointing to 4runner diehards Certain exterior/interior finishes are subpar by 5th gen standards But 5th gen was overbuilt in that regard and only long...
  15. Any regrets buying the 6th gen vs 5th gen

    Drives ok and peak torque developed at low revs is more suited to the eco shift programming in transmissions The 5th gen was better quality felt like if it didn't rust out it would last 30 years The 6th gen feels like a Ford
  16. Do you use your Sunroof / Moonroof?

    Never use it unless I think its there might as well open it There is a habit in Canada of moonroofs on almost everything In this climate I cant for the life of me understand why It must be purely for marketing Dont even get me started on the folly Of the panoramic roof.... I will say this, over...
  17. How often do you *actually* replace your cabin and engine OEM stock paper air filters?

    Change your cabin air way more frequently than engine air filter A restricted cabin air filter strains your HVAC fan It also can become a nest for rodents if vehicle is parked outside a lot Dont need to use the carbon ones just standard if it looks gray replace if it looks black it is way overdue
  18. How often do you *actually* replace your cabin and engine OEM stock paper air filters?

    Around 30k miles on 5th gen 4runner That is in mixed city country driving no dusty roads Possibly less on the 6th gen Cabin air filters i replaced every 6 months Dealerships rarely replace them That was doing 25k miles per year If one drives less it will be less often
  19. Who's had their 6th gen for a year now? What do you love/hate?

    Seems like your driveshaft needs lubrication? As for my own experience after a month. The extra height , it is like a factory lift and I would say unnecessarily high for most ,exit in particular is awkward compared to 5th gen. Interior space is adequate but awkward. The 4wd shift is not precise...
  20. Oil Dipstick Hard to Read

    If you have put the right amount of oil in and the level is between max and min you should be good Check it after it has been sitting overnight the level should show on the first pull of the dipstick without any streaking
