Sold my 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited (V6 w/23 gal fuel tank) with 138,000 miles and purchased a 2106 Toyota 4Runner Limited (V6 with 23 gal fuel tank) with 23,000 miles. On the 2008, after filling up with gas the distance to empty registered at about 419 miles however the 2016 after a fill up...

Mine did the same thing.... It is either the gas cap or the EVAP sensor on the drivers side of the engine. Replace the gas cap first, they are about $25 dollars from Toyota (use the factory original one, not an aftermarket). If its the EVAP sensor, they are about $145. 95% of the time, its...

You're right...got focused on the problem and neglected the basics. It's a 2008 Limited with the V6 engine. Right at 120,000 miles.

Had the code read and it showed two codes, bad gas cap and Duty Vacuum Valve. My question is: Will the bad gas cap cause the Duty Vacuum Valve to show a code? Prefer to replace just the gas cap at $25.00 instead of the Duty Vacuum Valve at $100 if one is causing the other to show a code...

At approximately 112,000 miles, a faint humming noise started on my 08' Limited at 60 mph. If you backed off the speed below 60mph, it stopped. On a straight, clear roadway, I would steer (drift) it to the left and then bring it back to the right and the noise would go away when coming back to...

Not much chance for a Lexus in my future!

2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited with 110,584 miles and solid as the day she was born. No squeaks, rattles, groans....nothing! Great FWD! But why didn't you fine people at Toyota make illuminated buttons on the doors for the door locks, window switches, mirror adjustments???? Just saying"!

Is it possible to to set my fog lamps to come on when the headlight switch is set at AUTO but headlights not activated due to daylight? With my front yellow running lights on all the time, I'd also like to have the same option with the fog lamps.

My 4Runner, purchased used in 2011, with the CD/Radio/Navigation system apparently has not had the map updates done since it was new in 2008. What do I have to do to update to the latest 2015 maps? Are the latest 2015 maps available on the CD format? Is it necessary to do every year between...

I have a 2008 4Runner Limited with the grey leather seats. I noticed that the left panel on the driver seat is beginning to wear and starting to have very minute cracks starting, revealing the actual leather tan color. I'd like to catch this before it gets very noticeable. Any ideas or fixes to...

Check all the major body panels (fender, doors, rear hatch) etc for the Theft ID Prevention number stickers. They are on all original panels and have the same number as your Vehicle Identification Number. If they are missing, there has been replacement fenders, doors, hatch, etc done of your...

Got a much better understanding now, thanks for all the responses!

Sherminator, Thank you! I neglected to say that I have a 2008 4runner limited, v6, 4 wheel drive. I am then assuming that I can strike LSD off the list? Does the RSCA activate deploy the bags when the slope angle hits a certain point? I also seen to recall someone engaging the center...

Is there a quick reference card/guide to what the following functions are AND specifically when you use them AND how to enter and exit the modes of each? DAC RSCA VSA LSD I've read the manual so many times, I'm ready to burn it. My fear is trying to look one or more of these up along side the...

I just went thru this challenge as well. There a quite a few good tires out there as long as you tailor them to your driving needs. My 2008 4runner Limited had Michelin Cross Terrains on them when I purchased it at 39,000 miles and I ran them a up to 67,000. I liked the way they handled in snow...
