Toyota used 2 different frame and axle housing configuration for the kdss and non kdss models. Frame and axle housing does not have the mounts for the conventional sway bars. The frame doesn't have holes in the front for the sway bar bracket and the rear of the frame doesn't have the brackets...

I think you missed the point. The rav4 is an international model with assembly on both sides of the world to accommodate the international market therefore requiring international suppliers. The Tacoma and the 4runner isn't international. The 5th Gen was built in Japan because of the...

It works out for the Rav4 because it is also sold in Japan but the Tacoma is only sold in north and south America.

Only time will tell. I can't imagine Toyota shipping dashboards/electronics to Japan for the new 4runner. Tacoma and 6th gen will most likely share other parts. While the video above mentions Mexico being a pickup based plant, it's still the same platform and they do build short, 2 door...

Pretty much confirms made in Mexico

The 6th gen will be more Tacoma than LC and will probably be built alongside the Tacoma, in Mexico.

Looks like the new AT4Ws https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=8AMlmw-iOHC5Wy3C&v=2i-QDERxETI&feature=youtu.be

There arent any after specs because they didn't perform an alignment. It says on the bottom "No Alignment Adjustments Needed".

My 15 was quiet except for squeaks from the right rear seat latch in the winter. I was surprised when I heard clicking noises in the 22.

I had the clicking sound from that area and took out the vent to line it. I used masking tape since that's all I had but the sound is gone. You will have to remove the knee airbag and the glove box to get the vent out. YouTube Start-X install for instructions and then pull the vent out. I've...

Can it be a timing issue? On my last 4runner with the OEM remote start, it was two quick press of the unlock, pause and hold on the 3rd until the truck beeps. Not sure if its the same timing with the push to starts models. I installed an aftermarket remote starter.

Forget them. I'm sure something else will come along. Check dealer sites for CPO. Thats how I got my first KDSS for less than the carvana listing. That was pre pandemic tho..

"Maybe" is the key word. It doesn't show a kdss cutout on the skid plate but it also doesn't show the non-kdss rear swaybar link in the wheel well. It is a crapshoot. Can you reject Carvana delivery or return for a refund?

See if they can send you more pictures. Maybe the listing degraded the 360 view where you can't see the skid plate cut out and I'm wrong I don't see the rear sway bar link in front of the rear wheels either. Rear sway bar link is visible in the wheel well on Non KDSS vehicles.

Doesn't look like it has kdss. Skid plate doesn't look like it has a cut out for kdss piston travel. The thing behind the wheel is just a brace found on all 5th gens.
