Thanks for the quick replies and pointing me to the other threads. Honestly I wasn't too worried about the wheel shake, had been driving it that way for 30K miles but after spending $1k on new tires I wanted to make sure there wasn't an easy correctable solution just in case in contributed to...

2016 SR5, 2wd with 39k miles. I replaced the OEM struts and shocks with the TRD Pro Bilstiens at about 10k miles. I did not have it aligned, yes I know stupid mistake, until I noticed significant outer tire wear at about 30k miles. Before having it aligned I noticed a slight shake in the...

Thanks for all the replies.

2016 SR5, 2wd with 33k miles. Tires rotated every 10k. At about 7k miles I swapped the OEM struts and shocks with the complete TRD setup for the sole purpose of stiffening up the suspension so it doesn’t wallow as much and the 1” front height increase. Added spacers to the rear coils to level...

Thanks!

Anyone know if the rear coil springs from a ‘17 TRD off-road package are any different from the standard SR5 rear coils. I’ve a got a 2016 SR5 with the Bilstein TRD Pro front coils and shocks and the rear shocks and I’m using my original rear coil springs with a spacer to level it. There’s a...

I will double check the invoices when I get home this evening. It's possible that they did list the oil change at the 10k service as it may be listed as a bundle service with the 10k service. But I know for a fact that it was not separated out on the invoice like it was for the 20k service...

Kudos to SR5Bart. He was able to confirm that the oil was in fact changed at the 10k service in spite of the fact that my 10k service invoice does not list it as one of the items completed at that service. My concerns are resolved and we can consider this thread closed. Thanks for all the help!

Pm with VIN sent.

Good question...the service reminder light comes on every 5k miles. I assumed like my 2003 4Runner that the oil change interval was every 5k miles, so I took it in every 5k miles and thought they were changing the oil.

Thanks for your insight. Will talk with service department this Friday.

So first let me say shame on me for not being diligent and double checking what the dealer did and didn't do. Scenario: Purchased a new 2016 4Runner from local dealer in Spring 2016. Dealer (supposedly through Toyota) offered free service for the first 25K miles then free oil change for life...

Squeal From Wheel - Want to look for? Have an '03 2wd V8 4Runner with 142k miles. Last week noticed a high pitch squeal on first movement that lasts a few miles then slowly fades away and disappears but if I stop for any length of time it reappears again on inital movment for a short period of...

Thanks. I guess it's not worth what I was hoping but it is what it is.

Thinking about a new vehicle and checked out online pricing with NADA and KBB. What a huge difference between these 2, and it's consistent between retail and trade-in values. It's an '03 SR5, 2wd with V-8 and leather, 130K miles in great shape. KBB lists trade around $6300 and retail around...
