Hopefully this is a step in the right direction. I don't even bother with the Entune, I just use Waze on my phone... Toyota uses open-source software in new approach to in-car tech | Reuters

My garage isn't heated, but it's parked in the garage all the time. Lately we've been having typical New England temperature swings. I'll keep in mind not to fill it up if I'm going to park it immediately after. The smell has gone away for now. I'll post if it come back, and what the dealer...

No. I don't drive it much, I do fill it up every fuel stop but it was between 1/4 and 1/2 when I parked it for a week and then the smell happened. I did fill it up the next day to see if maybe that would work...it still took a couple of days for the smell to go away. I'm the only person who...

I've searched but I haven't found anything so forgive me if this has been answered. I have a 2014 Trail with 20k miles on it. It was sitting in my garage for a week when yesterday afternoon I started smelling a strong gasoline smell in my breezeway. When I opened up the garage door it was...

Same here. I have entire discographies on mine. Somewhere around 8000 songs. I also have a 16 gig USB drive with radio plays and audio books on it I use for long trips. I formatted it using directions I found on these forums, including limits on folder size etc. I gave up on the Nav driving...

I usually live and let live...but I just have to say something about that color. It's the color of sadness. I actually call that color "institutional gray". It's the same color as prison, or the welfare office, or detention hall, or a dingy factory. If 1974 had a color, this would be it...

Last year at Arches National Park in Utah. Bone stock and no problems going on unmaintained roads. EDIT except for the tires...

Gamester, please PM me the warranty information too. I actually came here today to ask this exactly. Thank you (c:

Living in Massachusetts, I wouldn't have been able to duplicate driving at 12,000 feet in Colorado, or 80 mph highways in Utah. I did actually read what the rated horsepower was, I guess I just expected it to be "there" when I needed it. I've driven wimpier V6's where the power was more...

The truth is...I'm not sure. I like the truck, but after a year and a half, I haven't fallen in love with it. It's over engineered and there are a couple of things that I absolutely hate about it. The crappy factory tires, the ridiculously bad navigation and poor sounding radio, and the rice...

I have several ones in all my cars but this is the one I put into my 4Runner before I left for a cross country 6170 miles trip to the Grand Canyon... Link to Ali Express page I actually wired in a different non mirror image camera for a "cop cam" pointed at my drivers window. I've been around...

You can usually get them cheaper right from Hong Kong. I order from Aliexpress all the time. Now that Google Maps can do off line navigation and search...that's another plus! I've seen some head units that can disconnect from the tablet so you can bring it inside with you. That's a nice...

When my 14 had about 5000 miles on her, I took it from Massachusetts, to Michigan, than to the Grand Canyon, then some 4 wheeling in Moab, and then more 4 wheeling in Colorado (lots of mountains) and up to Leadville which is 12,000 feet in the air, to Kansas, then back to Massachusetts. 6170...

I woke up at 4am and drove from North Carolina back to my home in Massachusetts. About 880 miles in 14 hours. Just for fun, my friend Judy and I decided to go to the Carolina Renaissance Festival and visit a few friends for the weekend. It was fun but man, I'm getting too old for those long...

My ex girlfriend bought an FJ Cruiser and before she ever took delivery on it, I had read the entire owners manual. Right after she bought it she asked me a simple question that was answered in the manual...so I bought her this shirt; She had a huge chest and looked much better in it lol
