Thank your you interest. Vehicle is sold. ($5800)

I'm maxed out at 8 photos. Frame is good, not new. This is a 2005. It's a V6 and AWD. For some reason people assume a 4th gen has to have a V8 to be AWD, but that's not the case. This has the 2w, 4h, 4l rotary knob, plus a separate center diff lock button. It doesn't "hop" on dry pavement...

Still available. No accidents. Clear title in-hand. New muffler & tailpipe to be installed in a couple days.

SOLD - $5800 2005 Silver SR5 with grey cloth interior and 3rd row seating. 195k miles. Operates in 2WD, AWD High/Low, and 4WD High/Low, with factory locking center differential. (this is the drive system they should put in all the runners, IMO) Stock vehicle, no mods, except the addition...

Sorry, sold.

Disappointing to see this happening on Gen 5s. I had to replace all 4 on my 2005 Gen 4 two years after buying it new. What the hell, Toyota?

I went with the 1.25" spidertrax on my 2018 about 5k miles ago. No issues, though I did need to do the fender mod. The only thing that bugged me a bit was torquing down the wheel lug nuts. I used loctite on the space lugs, and they torqued up quickly. Meaning, there wasn't a whole lot of...

Currently tow a medium sized boat on a single axle trailer. Weighs about 3k lbs, about 250 on the tongue. Trailer has mechanical surge-type disc brakes. Acceleration from about 15 mph to 55 is a little slow, but braking is better with the surge brakes. No idea on mileage. Used to tow a...

Stinks to hear that. I had to replace all 4 lock actuators in my 2005, 4 years after buying it new. I found the motors online, and replaced them in each of the actuators. Not expensive, but a PITA to take apart all the doors and disassemble the actuators. Was hoping I wouldn't have that...

Wish they still offered the drivetrain in my 2005 SR5. - Standard drivetrain of 2x4 - Can engage AWD via rotary switch - Can engage 4Low via rotary switch - Separate locking center differential via pushbutton The only 2 reasons I went limited on the 5th gen: - Only model with AWD (greater for...

Audis went to indirect, but Porsche has kept individual pressure sensors. Not sure what VW's use... Agree with your maintenance comments. Mixed bag for sure.

My car is a Porsche. One of the most reliable and easy to DIY maintain vehicles I've ever owned. Toyota is behind the times on a lot of electronics IMO.

Pretty sure I came across both gen4 and gen5 methods on this forum. On the 4th gen it's just disconnecting a cable, then jumpering 2 pins. On the 5th gen it's just jumpering 2 wires on a connector, but you leave it connected. TPMS is great for people who don't pay attention to their car's...

You put your weeed in it.
