My husband is ill and we are putting our 2005 4Runner Sport V8 up for sale. It was purchased in Winnipeg, Manitoba and we live an hour away from Winnipeg. We would be willing to drive into Winnipeg to show it to someone. It is in great condition. We are the original owners (purchased in April...

Ha Ha... looks like a man's 4runner to me!

Hi! My '05 SE 4Runner has a V8 engine and I love it! I was prepared to get a V6, but my husband insisted that we test drive both of them. To us (particularly my husband, who knows a lot about engines), the V8 was much, much smoother as well as more powerful. He felt it would perform better in...

odometer/temp conversions For whatever it is worth-- we live in Canada and my husband has a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica (which he really loves). One of his car's greatest assets is that you can convert the digital odometer/temperature readouts from miles to kilometers and fahrenheit to celsius at...

Temperature Gauge My husband and I drove into Winnipeg this morning and it was c-c-c-cold. About 20 minutes after we started our journey, the temperature gauge read -30 (that's celsius since my 4Runner was purchased in Canada). A few minutes later, all it showed were some dashes (- - - - )...

Brrr...it IS cold, Jacal! I also live in Manitoba, near Seven Sisters Falls. It got down to -40C last night (That's -40F)! My husband and I drove our 05 SE V8 4Runner home last friday evening and the temperature registered between -28 and -30C (approx -20F). The 4Runner (we call her Suvi)...

it's cccccold! Hi! My husband and I live in Manitoba, also, near the Whiteshell Provincial Park. IT REALLY IS COLD around here today-- the lowest it got was minus 28F!! (I am from the states and still relate to Fahrenheit) I am not sure how low the digital temperature display reads in the...

rear wiper blade problem Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will try to keep the rear blade running for a while, even if it doesn't seem to be working I will also try to purchase a new blade.

I live in Canada and own a 2005 4Runner SE V8 which I really love! The one real issue I am having with it is that my rear wipers are practically useless in the wintertime. I try to keep them free of ice build-up (which is difficult), but every time I try to clear the rear window the blade...

FYI-- I am pretty sure that all the 4Runner Limiteds sold in Canada are equipped with XREAS... it seems to be part of the Limited package. Options would include the Navigation system.

My husband and I own an '05 SE V8 and we have only barely smelled the sulphur stench a couple of times. But, we drive on dirt roads a lot and almost never have the back window open due to the road dust. Gee... when our 4Runner was in getting some Tornado damage repaired, we were given a Toyota...

Yes, peanut butter is the best "treat" to put in a mousetrap-- that's what my husband uses and it works. I am not sure exactly how a mouse enters a 4Runner. In the case of my truck, I never actually saw the mouse inside-- just some pieces of Purina dog chow would show up on the floor in front...

been there Hello from Canada! I had created a thread a couple of months ago about my encounter with a mouse (entitled "Eeek... A Mouse") in my 4Runner. The little varmint had used my heater vents and air filter as a storage facility for bird seed and dog food that he had collected from my...

Snow in October Hi! My husband and I live in Seven Sisters Falls, Manitoba, which is about an hour East and slightly North of Winnipeg. Over the past couple of days we received about a foot of snow-- part of the lake effect snowstorm that hit Buffalo. We have an '05 4Runner SE (with stock...

Hi there! I am the person who posted a thread about a mouse infestation in my 4Runner. The service guys at my local Toyota dealership in Winnipeg found seeds, corn and dog food (!) in the blower motor, pollen filter and heater ducts. In a week or so they are taking the dash apart and...
