I have used synthetic motor oil in my 2008 V6 T4R since I made my first oil change at 1000 miles. My engine now has 15,000 miles after two years. I can't tell you the brand, but it is what my Toyota Dealer uses. I figured what ever they use should be fine. I have some engine noise upon start...
My 2008 T4R had its tire pressure sensor light turn on last week. I went to the dealer 'cause I didn't know what was up. They checked my truck and said my tires were about 5 pounds low all around and it was that plus the up down temperatures we've been having.
My 2008 T4R is two years old. True in has less than 15,000 miles, but the only thing my T4R has been to the dealer for is oil changes and tire rotations.
It is good to read about these problems so I can watch out for them on my truck.
I wish I had a good perminent compass for my T4R. I use the one in my GPS unit. Is there a good one that is part of the rear view mirror that will work in the T4R?

My '08 is a 4WD V6 Automatic with 13.4K miles. I have not noticed any unusual time delay when shifting in or out of reverse. I don't hot-rod much at all anymore so I don't even try quick shifts.

Why did you want to change the location of the exhaust tip?
I know if you carry a bicycle off the back end you do not want the exhaust heating up the bike tire. Problems!
Hey, today a plain jane T4R, tomorrow a rolling T4R decked out with soom new goodies and dressed out to your tastes. You'll truely have fun turning your truck into your truck.
You guys really know how to rub it in. I'm stuck here in Indy with no snow and no forcast of any.
I've tried an Old Indian Snow Dance, but I can not get it to work.
That is a very good deal. I would go for the 4WD option if it is available at a equally good deal. I wish I had my 4 WD SR5 with my options for less than 30 grand.
Interesting about the haze. I have not had a problem on my previous Toyota vehicles. My 08 T4R is still new. I hope I don't have the problem some of you are having. It sounds like it could be a problem with the glass or the glass coating.
Is your haze problems on the inside or outside...
From what I have read about wiper blades on this Forum, I have purchased a set of Bosch Icon Blades. I'll try to remember to tell you what I think after about six months or so of using them. Icy on my bracketed stock blades do not work at all in the ice storms we have here in Central Indiana...
