No, they are from the tool that they use to hold the steering wheel in place during the alignment. They also use a tool to hold down the break pedal. The service manager showed them to me but still claimed they didn’t cause the scratches. The pic only shows the worst scratch, there are many more.

I’m going to report the issue to the dealership next week. If i get the response that "it is normal” I will demand a meeting with the General Manager of the dealership. I spoke to him about their inability to check the alignment on my brand new Trailhunter because service didn’t have the specs...

I had some weird things happen when I left my phone in the car and attempted to lock it by touching the drivers side handle. I have it set so the mirrors retract when locking. The car would start the process of locking, the mirrors retracting and suddenly it would beep and the mirrors would go...

Just had my Trailhunter looked at. Stock tires. It was drifting/pulling to the right. I posted earlier about the dealership not having the alignment specs for my brand new vehicle and it took me 5 phone calls to “Toyota Customer Experience Center” (Totally worthless), a visit to 3 dealerships...

Hello, how did you make out at the dealer with the widow channel issue? i just bought a 26 4runner Trailhunter and have it on both sides. They tell me it’s normal!? I’m sure I can push it and get them replaced but I hesitate to allow the dealer to replace them as i can’t imagine someone is going...

"The driver was ticketed by CSP for careless driving." Talk about adding insult to injury!

Hello, Looking for a hard shell cargo carrier to mount to my 3/4 length ARB Platform. It seems most of the carriers out there are quite long. I’m hoping to get something that fits nicely on my Trailhunter. Any ideas/information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Interesting. Makes one long for the good old days of the standard four on the floor. Keep it simple!

Thanks for the information, I’ll try to destress! I expected much more from Toyota. Tomorrow, at the cold start of the day, I am going to try and shift the gears manually just for the hell of it to see how it feels. I’m sure it will be smooth as it appears the problem is the automatic part of...

Hello, new Trailhunter owner here. Three weeks old. I just started noticing all the same things everyones talking about. Herky Jerky shift from 1st to 2nd when cold and then the downshift issue when I come to a stop at a stop light. First time it happened I actually thought someone maybe bumped...

LOL 😂

Yes it is pretty weird. I’ve made 4 calls to the “customer experience center” with no answer as to why the dealership wouldn’t have the numbers. I hope to find a reputable shop near me that can do it. I don’t mind paying to have it done, I just don’t want to void my warranty by doing so. Thanks...

Thanks, the trick is finding someone in my area that does nice work. I’ll just have to go visit every shop in the area until I find someone that seems to know what they’re doing. Thanks

Thanks, I’ll be making some calls tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply! I may just look for a reputable, experienced alignment shop near me and just pay for the service. In any event Toyota corporate is going to hear about this! The level of incompetence in the world today is pretty sad. Thanks David

I went to the dealer I bought my Trailhunter from and told them I had a concern about the alignment. Seems to pull slightly but consistently to the right. Service manager went to the alignment rack and said they didn’t have the specs yet in order to check the alignment. Further stated that the...

Thanks for the information. A simple thing that should have been programmed in.

The last truck I had was set to auto lock everything when I walked away. Apparently I can’t do that with the 4Runner, So as a result I occasionally just walk away without locking it up! Can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Anyone know if this is possible with the 4Runner? Thanks

Is using Carista a necessary step? I’m thinking of removing the rear seats in my 2026 Traillhunter. What will happen if I remove them without disabling the rear seat warning with Carista first? I see conflicting information on this. Some seem to unplug the seats without issue and others suggest...

OK, thanks. Appreciate it. Taking them out tomorrow. I just had another thought. Yearly car safety inspection. They check to make sure all the seatbelts function properly. I guess if I don’t have back seats I don’t need back seat seatbelts.
