    I have been noticing that the 2005 4Runner has a Vibration on the steering wheel when I hit the pedal, also there is a loud grinding noise when the 4Runner comes to a stop, not while pressing the pedal and slowing it down but when it stops and moves back. This 4Runner is my Pops, he...

    2005 4Runner or 2011 4Runner

    I do have 32 inch Revo AT, but that shouldnt amount too much to the poor MPG. Sometimes I get heavy footed at the lights, but mostly I do city driving all the way to work. I have to pass my local traffic, then the Conjunction Junction, then 2 miles of freeway, and finally DC traffic. I have...

    2005 4Runner or 2011 4Runner

    I have a 2005 4Runner V8 SR5, I am thinking of getting rid of it and getting a 2011 4Runner SR5. My gas in the V8 is about 12MPG on the computer, and I have calculated it at 11.5 MPG. Will the 2011 Provide a greater improvement in MPG of the 2005 V8, or will it not be worth trading in the V8?

    V8 Full time 4WD MPG low?

    During the winter months I get 11-13MPG but during the Summer months I get 15-16 MPG. Try not letting it warm up in the Morning, and take off any anti-arodynamic things(Bug Sheild, Window Deflectors). Also adjust your roof rack to get the best arodynamic shape from your truck. That alone...

    Really frustrated with snow traction...

    We just had a average sized snow storm in Maryland this past week, and my 2005 4Runner V8 with Bridgestone Revo AT did excellent in the snow, no slipping, great traction, I did tried to get it stuck going up a pile of snow, but it just went up on the compacted snow. Last year I had a set of...

    Side-View Mirrors Shaking

    I just replaced my side-view mirrors on my 2005 SR5, now with the new set I have shaking from 15 mph to highway speed. Does anyone know a good way to stop this shaking, or is there a way to adjust the Mirrors?
