Just as a reminder to all of us anxious to hear about the 6th gen...... As was explained in a previous thread (very well done I might add).... Whatever the 6th gen ends up being, was decided a long time ago. Redesigns take years to develop/engineer. Toyota is not basing 6th gen decisions on...

I mainly flip between talk radio and XM, and XM is usually blasting pearl jam radio.....so when I go back to it it's pretty loud. I guess I can live with it.

I couldn't find any other threads on this........ Is there a way to have all audio sources set to the same volume control? It's a bit annoying having to adjust the volume every time the source changes.....especially when the source you change to was set really loud previously

this thread puts it to rest........ only 14 days into ownership of my first 4runner! no need to call the dealer

Just got the word that my SR5 arrived today at the dealership. Picking it up on Friday! 12 weeks to the day from when I put a deposit down.

I'm 4 episodes in on the overland series. Fantastic so far. Thanks for the link.

awesome pics and the truck looks great. quick question. I am new to 4x4 and about to take delivery of an SR5 soon. I'm still not totally confident about when to put it in 4hi.....were you running in 4hi on those roads with the thin layer of snow?

ask them for the VIN. My dealer sent me a copy of the "Toyota Order and Vehicle Summary". It included the order#, VIN# and ETA. Unless they are photoshopping something, it seems legit.

this show is so painful to watch....Such bad scripting/acting. Of course I still watch to see the trucks in action but, as someone new to 4x4, i wish there was more educational tidbits about the vehicle setup and strategies used to overcome the obstacles........other than the land anchor. If I...

taking delivery of a 2015 sr5 soon and was considering getting the protection film applied. I'm on a tight budget.....Which areas should I prioritize? It will see some very light trail riding, but lots of dirt and loose gravel, poorly graded, washed out, steep country/cottage roads. any...

Update please!......should have had some nasty winter driving by now.

emailed my sales rep - VIN is assigned, vehicle is at "port of entry" (wherever that is?) and current ETA is Jan 30. Hopefully yours came over on the same boat.

i am currently waiting for my sr5 to arrive and can't wait, but must admit, a little worried about when/when NOT to run in 4Hi. This morning in Toronto there was a thin layer of very slippery snow, but also some dry patches along the way, should I be constantly be switching between 2 and 4 or...

Will do. Good luck!

Looks like we'll have a similar wait then. I didn't think the wait would bother me, but I'm getting pretty anxious about it now!
