    2010 Limited with 150,000 miles

    I am looking at a 2010 4runner limited with 150,000 miles. The carfax is showing all maintenance has been done on a regular basis. Oil changes, brakes, fluids, 90,000 service from Toyota, etc..... For those of you that own these 4runners, can I get another 50,000 miles or more out of this? I...

    Slow slow acceleration!

    What do you mean it takes more "skinny pedal"? Also how can you "learn to drive it" if it is the way it is.

    Slow slow acceleration!

    I drove an 03 4runner sport before this 2010 SR5. I did test drive as well but didn't feel it like I do now. My 03 got up and went. This new one almost feels like I'm gonna screw something up if I punch it off the start. Like I said it literally feels like it goes through 2 gears before...

    Slow slow acceleration!

    So I recently bought a 2010 SR5. I was very disappointed in the acceleration. Very slow getting going. I thought the new engines were supposed to b better than the previous V8's. In mine it almost feels like it changes 2 gears b4 it hits 20mph. So I called Toyota and a sales guy said with...

    Rust on Hitch

    I am looking at a 2010 SR5 and there is rust on the hitch. Has anyone ran into this, is it something to be concerned about? Its only pretty much a 3 year old car, so I'm a little puzzled as to the rust. Basically where these are body on frames my worry is the rust making its way through the...

    03 sport dying and no one knows why!!

    So Toyota brought in their master mechanic to look at my 4runner. They did the code check and when nothing else worked the last code said to replace the ecu computer. I made sure if that doesn't fix it either that I'm not charged and they said they wouldn't. I think this is the final option...

    03 sport dying and no one knows why!!

    The only thing previous to it dying I can think of is I took it to an exhaust pro because my drivers side window is screeching. They had to order some parts but that wouldn't cause this issue would it? Is there anything in the window that could mess with the electronic system

    03 sport dying and no one knows why!!

    Nothing different as far as mods. I haven't upgraded anything in a while. Weather has been cold but not as cold as it was a few weeks back in the negative. As far as codes I'm not sure. They have it at Toyota running tests.

    03 sport dying and no one knows why!!

    Long story short, literally overnight my 03 4runner sport started dying. It would start up but then dye 5-10 seconds later. I had it towed to a place that works on Toyotas and Lexus's cheaper than what Toyota would charge. Well 1st fix was some sort of master air thing. That Didn't work, so...

    Car wash screwed up front bumper. Help

    So I took my 03 4runner sport through a car wash and the pressure washer they used took some paint off the front bumper. I have a black sport but not the typical grey plastic bumpers. Mine are also black or a dark grey that looks black. Can I fix this myself?

    6.5 or 6x9 in an 03 sport?

    I have an 03 sport with the jbl speaker system. I have read where some say the front are 6x9 but some say they arent. Is it easier to just do 6.5 in both the front and rear speakers with a bracket for the front? I need to replace and want some good sound quality Thanks

    Rattling noise over bumps

    I have an 03 sport and when I go over any type of bump big or small there is a rattling noise as if a shock is loose or something. They replaced an axle as well as the left strut but the problem is still there. I'm not good with cars but are the strut and the shock the same or does the shock...

    Clock light in 03 sport

    I have an 03 sport and the left half of the clock light is out. I asked Toyota about it but they said I would have to get a new clock for $1000. So today I am having an all in 1 head unit put in and when the installer took the clock part off he said it looked like I could just replace a bulb...
