I realized I actually posted about my paranoia over the MPGs I was seeing Dec-14. This may be a classic self-fulfilling prophecy or I KNEW IT! http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/184632-mpg-paranoia.html

My local Toyota dealer is replacing my front differential under warranty this week. Wondering if anyone has had this issue and if there's anything else I might want to keep an eye out for? It's on my 2015 4R SR5-Premium, 19,000 miles. I started having a throbbing, grinding, rubbing sort of...

I ended up getting 17.5 on a 7.5 hr trip cruising at about 75. The weather was good but I had a ski rack on top messing up the aerodynamics. Not bad, not good either. I still think I'm getting about 2 lower than I should. My driving habits did not change from my 2006 4R which I averaged about...

Thanks for all of the responses. I'll be putting another 1,000 miles on it this week heading up to Michigan. I set my tires at 38 when I fill them up but right now they're at whatever the tire shop put them at. I'll check my pressure and reset the guage before the trip. Unfortunately I'm going...

I'm afraid I may be being an auto-hypochondriac but... I have a new 2015 SR5 Premium. I have Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure tires, same size, and it is otherwise stock. I've now owned it for about 1 month / 1,000 miles, and I'm getting 16.5 mpgs, which seems at least 2 mpgs too low. I drive a...

I had this problem with my 2015. I had Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure tires swapped out for the OEM tires immediately upon possession. I ended up taking it back to the dealer to fix some rubbing between my steering wheel and steering column and asked them to rebalance / realign while it was in...

Yeah he misspoke and doesn't look like they've got anything to swap for me. Looks like I'll have to weigh selling them at 50 cents on the dollar or live with them.

I haven't seen my particular vehicle. I test drove a different SR5 Premium and ordered the specifics I wanted. I had to go with the Barcelona red on the graphite interior. They're installing a remote starter too, will pick up tomorrow. I am going to ask if he misspoke, that makes more sense...

Been a long time since I've been to this forum! I traded traded up my '06 SR5 for a '15 SR5 Premium. It just arrived at the dealership and the salesman let me know it has Bridgestone Desert Duelers. I had inquired about swapping the stocks for an A/T tire. I don't do any true offroading but I...

awesome thanks

Picked up some Denso K20HR-U11 spark plugs from the local Toyota dealer... I've been trying to search the forum for the correct gap but have come up empty. Anybody know? Thanks. Do they come already set to spec?? Thanks -dan

wow, weird, my last car was an R too!

Take it to a shop then for sure! Or here is another reason to have a VSC off switch installed! http://www.toyota-4runner.org/performance-zone-tires-wheels-exhaust-superchargers-more/41357-vsc-off-atrac-mod-complete.html

Is this the Ultimate Bull Bar 2.5"? Will you be sending with all of the mounting brackets/bolts/instructions/etc?

Put in a switch to disable it. It doesn't take long. I bought toggle switch on ebay with an amber indicator led for like $5. Here is CJ's writeup VSC Off, ATRAC On Mod complete! - Toyota - 4Runner . org Forum
