Hey all - I am picking up a 2022 here in the next couple weeks and looking to part ways with my 2014 T4R limited with about 71k miles on. Blizzard Pearl with Redwood interior, all stock, no running boards, no third row. Clean exterior and interior, had weather tech mats the whole time. Tinted...

To close the loop here, they ended up finding the issue. It sounded like the original culprit was the upper control arm / ball joint, which they started to replace under warranty. Then when they started the repairs, for some reason they tacked on the lower control arm / ball joint, and a...

Well I just dropped the truck off at a dealer for the 3rd time. Hopefully they can identify and resolve. Should I tell them specifically to look at the ball joints since that seems to be a common issue? Figured they would already know this stuff

The video would no longer work on YouTube, but wondering if I am hearing the same creak, would be interested in everyone’s opinion. I brought to the dealer twice already, and indicated the noise was coming from the front driver side, and they have fixed the a) spare tire mounting and b) rear...

Sorry for the delay, here are the long awaited photos - will take more next week when I get a breather from work to find some more interesting scenery. I spent a good deal of effort getting the leather in the picture to match what it looks like in real life, so what you see should be pretty...

I agree with the differences that have already been said, nothing major just touches like the blacked out accents in the tail lights and side mirrors. The ride seems a lot tighter, not sure if it is something mechanical or if its just a 4 year newer car / newer tires. The leather is much nicer...

They tried first to find one within 500 miles then after a week with no luck, they were able to get one reallocated to me as it was getting onto the ship. From the point they said they had one allocated to me (which was essentially when it was getting on the ship), it took almost exactly a...

So the 2015 I ordered finally came in and I picked it up yesterday. I went Blizzard Pearl and Redwood interior, and I must say, I love the look. There seems to be a pretty large array of pictures online that have the redwood interior varying quite a bit, but it looks more like a dark brown...

Thanks for confirming. So strange to hear the first time the car turned off after the remote start cut out.

Just picked up a 2015 Limited and heard this. Seems like I am having the same noise, just doesn't sound like something you would expect to hear every time you turn the car off. I took a video in my garage that you can pretty clearly hear it. http://youtu.be/FyZZMvAry4A

I am looking to do the same thing and get the TRD wheels instead of the 20 inch limited wheels. Is this something the car would have to be ordered with or is this something that would be swapped out at the dealer before I take delivery?

I was thinking of seeing what kind of deal I could get on these wheels / tires to put on a 2015 Blizzard Limited. Anyone do this already where they could share some pics? Anything special need to be done assuming I go with a tire size that fits a stock setup based on the guide here? Thanks!

Just got a call from the dealer, I am waiting for the one from Japan. They said they hope it is here by the end of the month, but couldn't guarantee it. Good news, no miles as its coming straight to the dealer. Bad news, another 20 days. Will be worth the wait IMO

Yep that seemed a bit excessive to me. I told them I would prefer to just wait for the one directly from Toyota, but they said that could impact the appraisal value on my car for trade. We agreed on a price, so that doesn't seem like my problem..... Also I would imagine they will have no...

Well I finally decided the other day to go ahead and order the 2015 LE (Blizzard Pearl w/ Redwood interior). I seriously considered going with the Trail (or even try to get the TRD Pro) but given what I will be using the car for 99% of the time, and the fact that I will plan to transition it to...
