I now have about 3,500 miles on mine, not sure what the official break in period is. I have a V6 4WD, although I was always in 2WD during the mileage in question. The weird thing is my first trip I got 22 mpg, and then it seemed to drop all the sudden. Hopefully the computer isn't on the...

I just bought a new 2008 over xmas break and have been driving it about a month now. Originally I got 20-22 MPG on highway, but my last few 5-hr trips I was avg just over 17mpg. I called Toyota dealer and guy said that all gas places oxidize their fuel in the winter, and to expect worse...

Hi I just bought my first 2008 4-Runner Sport Edition a few days ago, and first time poster to this forum. I really do not like how the "rear spoiler" looks on the vehicle, and was wondering if it is possible to remove the spoiler??? I know there is a light on the spoiler, so it may not be...
