    Trailer hitch question

    Apologies if this should be in the 'general' section..... I have an '06 4runner sport (V6) that came with the tow package. I pulled a pop up camper last summer with no problems but am planning on moving up to a travel trailer this summer. I'm going to get the tranny cooler and a weight...

    (!) Light on guage

    mine is on, but it's flashing. i think this means that there is a problem with one or more of the sensors themselves. a solid light means tire pressure in one or more tires is low. can someone tell me if i'm right? i check my tire pressure regularly and it is always good.

    Pissing off my 4Runner

    Leather in a sport edition?

    For what it's worth, those looks exactly like my interior. I've got a 2006 Sport with heated leather seats. I bought it used however, and never thought to ask if the leather was factory or not. When i was researching, I wanted a limited just to get the leather (I have a 2 year old), but liked...

    Towing a trailer

    Little bit of a dumb question, but I need some reassurance.... I've got a 2006 Sport with a factory installed hitch. Owner's manual says tow capacity is 5000lbs. I'm seriously considering getting a pop up trailer that weighs in at just a touch over 3000lbs. I figure with it loaded with...

    Key(s) won't unlock doors

    Anyone. Anyone. Bueller. Anyone. I've still had no luck at all with this. Sprayed a bit of Rust Check in the lock last night and it still won't give a bit. Last step will be to take it to a dealer, I guess.

    Key(s) won't unlock doors

    It just happened a day ago. And it did work before (I have a FOB, but wife doesnt). The key will insert, but wont turn at all. Not a tiny bit. No noise. Cant lock the door either (won't turn either way). The best way I can describe it, is like the lock is frozen. I've had it in the garage...
