    Who's had their 5th gen the longest?

    Ok, then maybe I am wrong. Maybe 2009 is the first patch of the 5th Gen.

    Who's had their 5th gen the longest?

    I bought my 2010 4runner in 2011. It is first year of 5th gen I believe. They even don't have 'limited' badge ready for me. Mine is the only one on the road without it. I just did all fluid change/flash (2nd/3rd times) this summer. All running well. Tire get replaced for few times, xREAS...

    Transfer case fluid type for 2016 limited

    I used cheap 75w-90 from my local chain store for my 2010 4runner limited in 2017. And it is running well. I did same change again this year. My 4runner is 14 years old since I bought it, I didn't see any issue in harsh west Canada :-). so go ahead with any 75w-90, you should be ok.

    should I get full-time 4WD in Alberta canada for winter driving/skiing trip

    I am currently driving a "2010 5th Gen limited" with full-time 4WD. Now I am shopping around for a new 4Runner. Due to today's high price, I may start considering a basic SR5. But SR5 is part-time 4WD, I am not sure how difficult compare to a full-time 4WD. I am living alberta Canada. Most...

    anyone has experience to replace wheel studs for front wheel?

    I replaced all 6 studs on one front wheel since only $3 each. Seems be ok to tap them out. I feel not bad to the hub. Also the 45mm length is exactly same as original, so I have the right parts. Thank you everyone.

    anyone has experience to replace wheel studs for front wheel?

    Why it has to be 50mm? I purchased parts from Toyota dealer and the part number is 90942-02082. I measured, it is 45-46mm only top to bottom. Maybe rear wheel studs are different? Also, I think I am lucky, I only need to replace the front.

    anyone has experience to replace wheel studs for front wheel?

    Searched youtube and didn't get anything for 4runner FRONT wheel. I know basic steps, I just want to know if there is enough space at the back of the hub to knock the stud off and put new back on.

    Do I really need to replace rotors?

    My 2010 4Runner has 200,000 kilometers on it, and it's still running with the original rotors. Lately, I’ve noticed some vibration when braking at speeds over 90 km/h, so I decided to take a closer look. After removing the rotors, they appear to be in decent shape aside from some rust on the...

    why AC compress engaged when I switch to blow warm air to windshield.

    Will it cause any problem without AC to dehumidify the air? I am worried it actually fog the windshield even worse?

    why AC compress engaged when I switch to blow warm air to windshield.

    Golfpilot, unfortunately, on my 2010 limited, both setting will have AC kicked in. Maybe the best way is to disable the compressor by pulling out the fuse.

    why AC compress engaged when I switch to blow warm air to windshield.

    Can you explain more about this? Do you mean there is a button can do this?

    why AC compress engaged when I switch to blow warm air to windshield.

    I didn't notice this during summer. But now in winter here, when I start turning on heat/warm air, I notice other settings are working fine, but when I switch the setting to let warm air blow to the front windshield, I can hear the A/C compressor has been engaged as my AC compressor currently...
