    '18 SR5 4wd with intermittent driveline shudder

    I'm in the same boat now. 2018 TRD Pro always kept up on maintenance. 96K miles. Shudder started last week Feb 14, between 20-40mph. My extended warranty expired Feb 7. t's in Toyota Katy today and they said it's the Torque Converter / Tranny needs to be replaced = $6k. Keep reading...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Used some Amazon gift cards to get this kit. No change in MPG which is fine, 18ish city. Better engine sound than the stock whining noise. Can feel it only in upper rpms like when entering onto a highway. Trd Pro - Calvary Blue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Was in the dealership for rotation...saw this black tailpipe at the counter. Gimme. They said it would bolt right on...yea but it was a bigger diameter on the clamp end than the stock chrome one. I had to use the new shims and the old shims together to get the clamp to tighten on the pipe...

    No mention of a TRD PRO...

    Agree with OP. Something with TRD design in it should be considered in off road talks. 4R Off Road and Pro models along w Tacomas. Hell these things have a Crawl Control feature, seems pretty worthy of off road talk.

    Cavalry Blue 4Runners, Let's see them!

    Sorry bud! I missed the reply before. Yes those steps were on it from the factory, no upcharge shown on the sticker. I assumed all Pros came with them? I have seen them on others. They give good protection from debris and can hold me for reaching the roof. I don’t really use them to get in...

    2018 TRD Off Road Premium MPG

    2018 PRO All stock 3,000 miles Last fill-up I calculated 19.8mpg. Combination city and hwy driving. I also have only used Super Premium since I got it. It was around 16mpg first few fill ups. When I fill up I set the trip odometer...next fill-up I divide the trip by gallons filled.

    Would $1600 Clear XPEL be worth it on a black 2018 4runner?

    OP, I thought about it also on my 1 month old Pro. I got a quote for $995 for same corverage you mentioned from a reputable place. That includes all the prep and claybar etc. I’ve never had it done before. And of course a 370z will be cheaper, it’s way less coverage than a 4runner and the...

    4runner TRD Pro

    I suggest searching online. I searched auto trader for “2018 TRD Pro 4Runner” and got 8 results in Texas area. Dealers advertise online also for new cars. I checked out a white one nearby, and then went to see Calvary blue an hour away. They have an internet sales dept that handles all this...

    I called all over looking for 4R TRD pro..I was about to get an order in, but then I found one east of Houston that came to a dealer from local auto show. 8 miles on the dash. Coming from a Speedway Blue 05 Tacoma (owned 13 yrs)...I thought I would want to try a non-blue color for my next...

    Cavalry Blue 2018 TRD PRO Sighted

    Recent lurker...new nember. I had been doing research on a Pro. All dealerships (Houston area) say you have to order the Pro. If there is one on the lot it is because it was a canceled order. So I checked Auto Trader (pro tip) and 5 came up in Texas as for sale at dealers. 2 near me...
