I saw on another forum a poster mentioning putting his Tundra in "Beast Mode" by Press traction control button once. Press it again and hold 3 seconds, then release. Press it again (3rd time) for 3 seconds, then release. Now press the Tow/Haul button. Is there a hidden Beast mode for the T4R?

drum roll please! Here she is. Already had 2 nights of very comfy sleep in here.

It appears as if a "full/Dbl" size foam mattress is approx 6" too long to fit in the cargo/sleeping area of a 2015 4runner. So maybe buy a walmart foam mattress and cut it down to fit?

will a "full" size mattress fit the sleeping area. I'm interested in filling up the sleeping area as completely as possible, since that area is pretty small to begin with.

Should be done with the drawers/sleeping platform this week. Will be going with 3” foam mattress on the platform. Should be able to do 30+ nights this year. Wondering how to stay cool in the summer. Does someone make screen window covers and reflective windshield black outs? Does anyone have a...

I found this video of a great sleeping platform build for a 2017 limited. I have a 2015 trail. Are the cargo and back seat dimensions the same for these 2 year models and trim configurations? I have the build plans for this but before cutting begins I want to be sure they will work in my 2015...

I’ll be taking the maiden voyage with my sleep platform soon. I’m getting a3” foam mattress for the back. I’m curious how you stay warm overnight while sleeping in your T4R. I’ve got a good sleeping bag and expect temperatures in the mid 30’s. Do you have any auxiliary heating that you use...

Thanks sir.

I’m close to completing the sleeping platform for my 2015 4Runner. I’m thinking a 3” foam mattress is the way to go. Is there a foam mattress that is cut to fit a T4R? Should I look more closely at inflatable options?

excellent feedback everyone. Looks like a mattress is in my future.

HI I'm considering the AirBedz inflatable mattress for an upcoming camping trip. I know the way to truly be comfortable sleeping in the cargo area of a 4runner is by way of a built platform to eliminate the bump that is caused by the folded rear seats. My question for those that have used an...

OH CRAP, I didn't realize I needed a "special" tool to remove the oil filter. Can the filter be removed without a special tool? Looks like getting to the oil filter is kind of a pain in the arse.

Is there a preferred 0W-20 oil recommendation for my T4R? Is synthetic oil preferred over mineral?

My 2015 T4R trail has been intermittently losing power to the nav/radio screen/console for a week or so. Completely random and sometimes will work as normal then without warning complete power loss. The entertainment/nav screen will cycle back on then immediately off again. This repeats a few...
