    v8 towing w/ Equal-i-zer Sway Control Trailer Hitch

    I have an 2005 4Runner and tow a 31 foot Traillite with the Equalizer. Absolutely no sway problem. Pulls great with the V8. I have looked at the Bigfoot and wished I could afford one. They seemed to be a very superior build and especially so in cold weather. I do like the size of mine...

    Looking to update Nav DVD disc

    I have the 05 limited also. Why do people list the 7.1 version as applicable? I thought it had to be a 4.x something. My current disk is a 4.2. Are we talking about a different set of numbers?

    Any 4runners towingtravel trailers

    I tow a 30 ft. Traillite that weighs loaded around 6200. It is a relatively low aerodynamic trailer. I specifically chose it to tow behind the 4Runner. Not many other trailers that long could be towed behind a vehicle as small as the 4Runner. I use an Equalizer sway control hitch. I have gone...

    Towing Mirrors?

    I've used the CIPA strap on mirrors (the kind that actually fit over the mirror are not made for the 4Runner) and they work Okay, but I now have the McKesh and there's no comparison. The McKesh are rock solid and very adjustable.

    New Nav DVD?

    LP4runner--Is the 2007 the latest? I thought it would be listed as a 2008. I believe I need the one where the version starts with 4.( 4.3 is I think the right one). I have a 2005 4Runner. I've checked with the dealer but they say it isn't out yet. I'll go back and tell them to look it up manually.

    New Nav DVD?

    Do you know if the update DVD usually comes out at a particular time of the year? It seems as if updates should be on a regular annual basis. My vehicle is a 2005, and I have the original DVD. Any of you guys with 2004 or 2003 gotten regular updates?

    New Nav DVD?

    Does anybody know when the new Nav DVD is coming out? I was originally told October then November then December. Is this normal for a delay?

    Moonroof Rattle

    I have begun to get a rattle up in the moonroof when its closed. I kept hearing a rattle but couldn't tell where it was coming from until I finally put my ear up around the moonroof area. I've checked all the visible screws and plastic guards both opened and closed. I can't find the problem...

    Toyota JBL E7008 Nav & XM Satellite Rcvr - for sale

    I might be interested. Do you know if it fits properly in a 2005 limited with the 2005 Nav unit? Does it have steering wheel controls?

    New Nav DVD

    I thought the 2005 needed a DVD starting with 4---- 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and so on. If the 2005 really takes the 5.1, yes I would be interested.

    Cleaning Clear Plastic over Instruments

    I'll try the compressed air. What is "detailer" fluid? I don't know exactly what that is.

    Cleaning Clear Plastic over Instruments

    I try to be very careful in cleaning the clear plastic lens over the instrument cluster, but I still get small scratch and swirl marks that show up whenever the sun is able to shine right on it. It is distracting and even makes the cluster hard to read when the sun really shines on it. I have...

    Navigation DVD

    I checked on the forum a few months ago, and most said new DVD for the OEM Toyota Nav would come out in October. My dealer now says don't expect it until December. I'm two copies old and don't want to buy the current one with the update coming out anytime now. Anybody know when the new one is...

    New Nav DVD

    A few months ago I was looking for the new DVD for a 2005 OEM nav system, and most folks said it would be out in October. My Toyota dealer is in the dark about it but offers that it will probably be in December. Anyone know? I'm two years out of date on my DVD and don't want to get the interim...

    Memory Seats

    Has anyone seen or bought a kit that can add memory seat to a 2005? I know 2006 and up have them. Is there a stock kit or an aftermarket one? I'm speaking about the system that allows you to save two different seat settings and automatically recall them. I am a 6'3" and I can't get into the car...
