Wow How'd you do that? I want to know so that I don't make the same error. Looks like a very very expensive proposition.

Tow Cap I just recently pulled a 21 foot travel trailer with my 06 4.7l equipped Runner. Weight was a little over 5000 lbs. Plenty of power to spare and controllable with a W/D hitch and sway control. Was running on Cruise pulling substantial hills and still maintaining 65 MPH, but had to slow...

Utility trailer should be no sweat. I have two but haven't towed either with the 4Runner. I will be pulling a 4 by 8 with it around the end of the month. My biggest complaint, and it's not the vehicle's fault, was that a previous owner replaced the tires with a smaller, lower profile passenger...

You won't be disappointed. I just picked up a 2006 Sport 4wd with the V8 back in January. Used it recently to tow a 21 ft travel trailer and had to kick the cruise off in the hills because of the curves. I didn't feel too comfortable swinging 5000 lbs of trailer around at 65 MPH, although there...

Yes that works well. You shouldn't have to drill holes. I ran wiring up to a relay under the hood from the driver's side through the grommet for a Travel Trailer battery charging system recently. Also, I ran coax cable for a two way radio to an on-glass mounted antenna through the left side...

Just purchased my 4th gen (06) about 3 months ago. It's bone stock, but you guys have come up with some really impressive mods. Love 'em. Sah - WEET!

I specifically sought out the V8 because I want to tow a 21 ft travel trailer. Most V8 equipped T4Rs have the tow package already rated to 7000 lb, so no more work, other than maintenance, would need to be done to the vehicle. V6 versions, I believe, are rated to 5000lbs, good enough for most...

You did WHAT??? The only reason to put a 4th gen up for sale is to be able to buy a newer 4th gen!

It could be a few things. Air conditioning can maintain only a temperature difference between inside and outside. You could have lost the refrigerant. You can buy recharge kits at most auto parts stores but be sure to read the directions carefully. You can easily overcharge your system and...

Have an '06 with a 4.7. The noise just started the other morning but it was maybe 48° F on startup. Only does it when it's cold and when it's in gear and for the first minute or two. Can only hear it from the inside of the vehicle. Sounds an awful lot like the others on here.

Just got this '06 Gen4 T4R with V8 and tow package about 2 months ago because I wanted to tow a small travel trailer. Much to my dismay, about a month ago I checked out what was supposed to be the 7 contact round electrical connector only to find that some Dilbert had switched it out for a 4...

Hey, let us know what the story is. Curiosity is getting to me. My company sends a number of people up to Ft. Mac. Never been there myself. They do contractor work in the mine. Heh I was with a buddy of mine years ago in his '70 3/4T Chevy. We were doing the same thing out in the desert when...

XREAS longevity 102k on an '06 Sport 4WD. No problems, firm ride, tight cornering, no leaks, no suspension mods to the vehicle Just bought it about 6 weeks ago so don't really know how the vehicle was driven. I'll use it for towing, highway and light off road. Have a set up Wrangler for the...

Xreas 102k on an '06 T4R - XREAS is working fine, no leaks good control in cornering. Rides a little bit stiff. If it ain't broke, well you know the rest.

High RPMs I noticed that on mine a few weeks ago while driving down the freeway. Finally figured out that I had inadvertently pulled the shift lever over toward the driver's side of the vehicle into 4th. There's a detent. Check the indicator in the instrument cluster. The D should be...
