So my 4Runner is push button start and from what I understand, you absolutely should NEVER try jumping another vehicle if yours is a push button start nor I believe getting a jump if yours is a push button start (not totally sure on the latter). The reason is because you run the risk of frying...

Yes, my 4Runner has push button start, so I have to have the key fob, which has a physical key, in my pocket for the vehicle to start.

My 2023 4Runner won't read the newer USB 3.0 stick I tried using in it. Had to use a downgraded USB 2.0 stick.

Hey all, so I thought I'd just share my experience with a ventilating seat cover I purchased off Amazon. I love my Off-Road Premium and the Softex seats, but one downside is they can get HOT in the summer heat. I ended up frying after grocery shopping one day, even with the air conditioner at...

Should one have certain suspension components switched out/replaced every certain number of miles?

The tires don't look stock to me. I love the look of your 4Runner though. Would be curious to know the lift height and tire size. Mine is still completely stock, I am planning to get it some new tires and a lift eventually.

Technically-speaking, I'd say the 4Runner is a lousy vehicle if you are not intending to ever go off-road and if people did proper research before shelling out for a new vehicle, they'd know this. Toyota itself has multiple alternatives: the Rav4, the Highlander, and Grand Highlander. You should...

You mean the electric SUV designed by the new car company Rivian? If so, I would actually have to disagree with you on the ugly part as I think it looks fine. It is nice and blocky, which I like. Not as nice as the 4Runner though.

I think I will stick with my 4Runner!:wow: That is also a point though that I have often thought, that in terms of what it was designed for, the 4Runner really is not primitive. I suppose the engine and transmission that criticism could be applied to, but the critics are usually criticizing the...

So some background, I went from my 1998 GMC Jimmy late last year to my 2023 4Runner ORP. Now my 4Runner experience was a little mixed. I initially test drove a used 2019 SR5 and that vehicle seemed very boat-like, basically like a larger version of the Jimmy and did feel primitive. However then...

It senses gun fire?

I see, I'll have to try that. Good to know about the waterproofing.

I use my key almost everyday, twice a day in winter when I go out to start the vehicle to warm it up before and after work and before work to get the interior nice and cool for me when it's like 85 degrees out or hotter. Also I understand Acura is different quality regarding the vehicle itself...

So with the push-button start 4Runners, there is a physical key in each fob so you can manually lock/unlock the vehicle. However, this physical key is rather puny and kind of flimsy, and you have to exercise some caution when turning it to lock or unlock the door as the door lock takes some...

So with the push button 4Runners, at least for the Premiums, the vehicle senses as you approach (with the key fob) so that all you need do is pull on the door handle and it will automatically unlock. My question is, if you get into the vehicle and close the door and lock it, how does the vehicle...
