I can't tell if your 4R is 4x4. I have a TE with all the 4x4 modes and I do go off road mainly on easy trails. If you do that you need a good durable tire. After I switched to BF K02's the difference was amazing and I feel as safe as possible with these tires. You need good grip and durability...

I got a HEPA filter and it seems fine, but it makes sense it would restrict some flow. I don't remember the brand from O'REILY. I'll check and report back next a day or so.

Thanks for the feedback. The 4x4 floor shifter with rear locker is a minimum for me. I raised the priority of the avoidance system higher now. White or Silver color. I doubt silver reduces heat absorption as much as I first thought. I have a silver water container on my bike and it gets really...

Yes,CarPlay and a white color to reduce interior heat. Blind spot monitoring is a win. So I guess 2022 or newer.

Hello, I have a 2016 TE with 102k miles. It has the full 4x4 modes including the rear locker. I'm thinking of getting a newer model in white but not a 6th gen. What is the sweet spot say between 2020 - 2024? I don't care about the model much except it needs to have the 4x4 modes with rear...

if the incline or decline is steep I just temporarily turn it off. I prefer to allow the vehicle to slow down a bit on hills anyway. Better fuel economy.

I had a problem similar to this and I discovered it was due to a zippo power bank that was left plugged into the 12V socket. This power bank was back feeding a small amount of voltage back into the electrical system. I have several power banks and the zippo is the only one that did this.

I would get the tires re balanced but mention the problem so they take that into consideration. I had vibration on a set of tires and that solved it for me.

my 2016 TE has about 90K and still runs smooth as butter. No need. I have no ideal what plugs are in it.

I have no complaints about the steering on my Trail Ed. I can say that after having all season tires on for about 9 months I switched to KO2'S I noticed a big improvement on how planted the truck felt going around a bend.

In my opinion if you have a 4x4 and go off road you need AT tires. Otherwise what's the point in having a vehicle like this.

Don't you think a thief would know to check for something plugged into the OBDM port and remove it. Maybe, maybe not?

It's likely what you have plugged in. Trouble shoot this by removing it and see if the issue goes away.

I would avoid this situation, it's risky for the battery or your vehicle electronics. Use a trickle charger or better yet a maintain charger designed for continuous use or maybe a solar panel battery maintainer to keep it charged.

That emblem looks cheap to me. I was obsessed with finding something for my TE which doesn't come with one but I eventually gave up.
