The owners manual specifies that because most places, that’s the lowest octane you can get. In colorado, it’s lower because of elevation but they wouldn’t make manuals by state because thatd be a lot more difficult to manage. They probably make one and put it in every car regardless of where it...

How can you not like that?? Check out that side profile.

85 from any gas station? I filled up at a Sinclair last night and it said "may contain up to 10% ethanol"... is that ok??

Makes sense but a majority of places in the US are at a lower elevation were 87 is the lowest option so it makes sense that all the manuals and responses say to use 87 because most everyone should. Colorado at the much higher elevation should have a different response.

Does anyone run 85 octane in Colorado? I have read that it is basically like running 87 at lower elevations. I asked the service department at Toyota and they said it is totally ok to run 85 octane in Colorado. Just curious about all of your thoughts?? **other threads don't call this out...

85 Octane in Colorado Does anyone who lives in Colorado use 85 octane in their 5th Gen? I've read that it is basically the same as 87 at lower elevations and I asked the service department at Toyota and they said 85 is perfectly ok in Colorado. What do you all think??

That is fast! I posted on there for $399 and haven't had any bites yet. I'll try dropping the price a bit and see if that works. Thanks!

Selling stock SR5 Wheels Has anyone upgraded their SR5 wheels and had any luck selling the stock ones? I just put the TRD Pro wheels on my rig and not sure what to do with the old ones. I'd like to get something for them but am curious if anyone had any luck selling them and if so, for how much...

The guy at my dealership made a great point to me and said a lot of people upgrade a lot of the components on the truck like the suspension, wheels, tires and much more. Why buy an upgraded model just to take the stuff off and replace with new? I chose the SR5 so I could do all of that and not...

Dang that looks sweet, just added this to my list!

I left it in the garage and rode my bike to work LOL I just hit 999 miles so I need to ease off the driving to keep them miles low :happy:

First Excursion Got the new 4Runner and couldn't wait long before I went out to see what it could do. I love this thing!!!

Negotiating the deal Buying a new 4Runner at the dealership will be quite the experience. They will try to get every nickle and dime out of you so just remember, the person selling you a car is not your friend! Of course they will be nice and are nice people but their main goal is to get as...

Plasti Dip is Great! I just got my 4Runner and didn't really like the chrome badges so I plasti dipped them. I had no experience with it and first tried to tape off just the badges which didn't go so well. When I tried to take the tape off, it peeled the plasti dip off the badges. I had to...

20% Front Window Tint The first full day I had my new 4Runner I went out and got the front windows tinted. I went with 20% so it was a perfect match to the back windows. The guy tried to get me to go with 15% because more light comes in through the windshield and when it is sunny, with 15% it...
