Yes. This 4runner is actually the first vehicle I’ve ever owned that would not allow the fogs to come on with only the parking lights. I don’t necessarily want to go driving around with them running that way, but that setup is useful in some situations.....for instance when we pull into a...

Since this thread came back alive, I’ll follow up from my original post. It was suggested above that I not tow with the 4runner and get a dedicated tow vehicle. Well, in a perfect world where I had unlimited funds and space to park another vehicle, that might be a practical suggestion.....but...

Thanks to the OP for posting about this. I ordered the cheapest sensor I could find and it took a couple of weeks to arrive. Works like a charm! I recently changed out all of my signal bulbs to LED with the fronts being switchbacks. I now have three lighting options without having to worry...

This is the standard grille kit (with letters) along with the standard LED kit add on. $150

For what it’s worth.....my brief review of the CarTrim grille. I ordered one of the grille kits with the standard (4) LED light kits from CarTrim a few weeks ago. I debated whether to get one with LEDs or without.....figured that for just $25 more, it was worth a try. The package came within a...

If I left the controller in all the time, I certainly would consider doing that.....but we tow maybe 6-8 times a year. Set up like this it takes me literally 1 minute to install/uninstall. I think that spot would be a great place for a scangauge.

I don’t know what its intended purpose is, but I put Velcro strips on the lower surface and on the underneath side of my brake controller. We don’t tow all that often, so it’s my temporary “mount” for the brake controller...not very elegant looking, but it only gets put there once every month...

I don’t have keyless entry/start on my 4runner, but I have had it on a couple previous cars.....most recently a 17 Tacoma. It was convenient, although not a “must have” for me. In the Tacoma.....when/if you got out of the truck with the key in your pocket and the engine running, the truck...

Thanks for posting this travel report! We have a similarly spec’d trailer (2018 flagstaff e-pro) that we recently purchased and I’ve been curious what others have been experiencing in terms of towing with their 4runners. Sounds like your experience is similar to mine.....keep it in s4 and...

Thanks guys. I have an 18 ORP in Silver and one thing that has bothered me from day one is the fact that the front/rear valances are an ever-so-slightly different shade of silver than the body....that and the side “trd off road” badges are a frosted silver color.....it’s all just so washed...

Looks great. I’ve been considering doing this for a while. Was it the SEM Trim Black that you used?.....like this?.....if so, how many cans did it take you to front and back? SEM 39143 Trim Black Aerosol - 15 oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EM019O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_3k7PCbEKP8G4K

Thanks. Appreciate the advice. The rv dealer is going to set the WD hitch up initially. They offered to do so as part of the deal, so I’ll let them. I’ll plan to take my little compressor and top the bags off and finish leveling the rear before we set off for home. Thanks again.

We are picking up a new small-ish 17’ camper tomorrow. In preparation for getting it, I’ve been outfitting the 4runner with the appropriate gear. The brake controller and a set of Firestone CoilRite bags are in place and ready to go. Question on the use of the bags......am I right in assuming...

Thanks for the feedback/advice, guys. I’m relatively certain that the receiver on the 5th gen is approved for a WDH, but I will confirm that. We will plan to go ahead and get the air bags to install. Thank you!

Having just bought our 18 ORP 4Runner this past fall.....we haven’t had an opportunity to tow a trailer yet. The 4Runner replaced a 17 Tacoma which did *ok* with the help of some Sumo springs to reduce sag. I know the rear of the 4Runner is rather soft, so sag will be an issue with a trailer...
