    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    Had a dealer with a 2019 TRD off-road, non-KDSS, with an msrp of $40,500 that wanted $37,900 and offered me only $25,500 for my clean '15 SR5 w/33k miles on it and they wouldn't negotiate on either end. I ended up walking and it's a shame because they are the only one in the hundred mile radius...

    Steering Wheel Pealing?

    Mine has 30k miles on it, is wearing through to the white underlayment and is just out of the 3/36 so... I'll watch this for options. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Any dislikes with your 5th gen?

    Changing the oil is a pain compared to the 4th gen and as others have said the seat fabric is wearing at a ridiculously alarming rate. I have holes in the driver's side after 30k miles. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Skid plate with oil filter access?

    With all the aftermarket skid plates out there do any of them allow easy access to the oil filter housing without having to drop the entire skid plate? Would definitely make life easier. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    2019 4Runner Window issue

    Pieces of rust or iron from traveling on the train are very common. I detail cars and use something like this. Spray it on Let It foam up and if it is pieces of restaurant iron it will dissolve...

    Extended Warranty? 2015 4Runner limited

    I think that's outrageous expensive considering the reliably of 4Runners. Check here, there's a contact on this forum for extended warranties and hopefully you're within the grace period to get your $$ back on the extended warranty you purchased. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    4wd won't disengage after driving on pavement

    I had the exact same problem last week. After not coming out of 4H I switched it 2 wd and the light kept blinking and blinking. After a few miles (and what seemed forever) it switched back into 2wd with a decisive CLUNK. All was well again. Hope you're as lucky. Sent from my SM-G950U using...

    4wd won't disengage?

    At least once a month without any problems, (4H and 4L).

    4wd won't disengage?

    Well this morning it moved fine in and out of 4H and 4L. It's still about 20 degrees here yesterday and today so I don't think physical temperatures are a factor oh, maybe it was just bound up from the torque? I will keep you all posted if it happens again and I end up going to the dealer.

    4wd won't disengage?

    Thanks, I thought of that too... Ild school style from my first Taco with manual hubs but that didn't work either. Its not that cold here either so I can't imagine that it would have frozen up. Grrrr...

    4wd won't disengage?

    Sorry it's the SR5 I've always driven it and made sure to put it in 4hi and 4lo at least once a month and leave it in 4hi for a couple miles because of the actuator problems I had on my 4th gen. It always moved pretty quickly, within 50 feet or so until this morning. Try it again after work on...

    4wd won't disengage?

    '15 4Runner with 30k miles on it, roads were snowy last night so it was in H4 still this morning. I've got a short 5 min commute to work so on the way I put the selector to H2 and watched the green 4WD light blink... And blink and blink. I could tell by making turns its still in 4WD. Went out at...

    Frozen caliper - NAPA remanufactured

    Looks great! I used a Napa rebuild caliper on my 4th gen and it was perfect and a better value than OEM. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Heat up 2018 4Runner in winter?

    I got a remote start and heat my 4runner up for a few mins in the winter months because these NY winters are wicked cold and I have a 1 mile commute to work. I found I wasn't even burning off all the moisture in my exhaust system on my short trip and my last muffler rusted from the inside out...
