Yes... It's crap.... Sell it to me. :) I've driven in SF with my 4Runner and I know it's challenging. I've also driven my lifted FJ and it was challenging but people tended to see me and I could maneuver better. If you want to keep the big truck thing, you could try to find a nice '14FJ? Or...

:wow: Sounds about right. My wife doesn't drive that fast, but everything is full pedal, be it brakes or gas.

Folks, I just replaced both front and rear brakes on out '16 4Runner. I have 275/70R17s on there so a mild upsizing and no lift.... yet... The brakes were low at inspection and the local independent shop that I actual trust confirmed. The rotors were also tuned and I believe from driving it...

Here? Google Maps

I'm wondering if Toyota, like many car brands, are focusing a lot of R&D and $ on electric technology. We've had the hybrids for a long time, so that gives Toyota a step up on some brands, but it appears that electric vehicles now have the infrastructure to support them as viable family autos...

This video is a little easier to understand and shows the actual parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deH4HNqiyMg

I don’t know that they’d change it much at all if anything. The just put the tires out more on the same alignment I’d imagine. There is more force exerted on the suspension as the weight is moved away from center pivot.

Did you read my original post?? Lol.

We got a service package thing that was for 10 oil changes and some stuff when we bought it so she goes in specifically for oil changes. I do know those are being done and keep the paperwork. I don't particularly like taking any of my cars in to the dealer for the exact reasons you're...

That's a good point. I'm talking about wheel spacers though remember. If you where thinking about spring spacers which could change the front geometry dramatically.

Well......... Like I said, it's the wife's truck... I believe tire rotation is done every time she brings it in for service but I cannot be sure of that. I asked that my tires be rotated on my FJ at the same dealer when I brought it in and marked the 5 tires prior. They were not rotated...

Info: Front tires wearing badly on '16 KDSS Trail Premium. 35K on tires and chassis. No suspension mods or body mods. Running 1.25 wheel spacers and 275 BFG K02s on stock wheels. I noticed this weekend that the front tires on the 4Runner are wearing pretty badly on the inside. My wife drives...

Looking at new 4Runners as usual... Since no 2020 Gen6. :peep: What is this Nightshade edition deal? Is it just a LTD with some black crap on the outside? Is there any reason for the extra money? They look cool but.... Build Your Own Toyota | Toyota Configurator

I tried to have the wife look at 4Runners for a while before we bought her first new car is a while. She drove a non KDSS SR5 and felt like it handled like a boat. I couldn't argue. We ended up with an Outback. (Which I secretly loved....) When kiddo came along, she waned something taller as...

OK so it's just the normal Toyota service number. I thought there was a special one for issues that we knew about or a person in Toyota etc. Darn.
