2014 SR5 with 73,000. Drivers door failed intermentantly. Then it completely failed in July. Fixed at dealership for $600. Now the front passenger door is starting to act up. Fails to lock/unlock every few days. I expect that total failure is coming. Anyone had luck getting Toyota to eat some of...

I was able to remove them by using a small socket/ratchet and a ratcheting box wrench. To remove the bolts start and the bottom and work your way up. Don't fully tighten the brackets until the bar is mounted. It is slow going. At one point it was so tight the ratchet was only going one click at...

Not sure why you would need to remove the bumper cover. I installed a bull barr on a 2014 SR5 with the cover in place. The room is tight to get to the bolts but not difficult.

Get the Frontier 90 and don't look back. It is crazy simple to install. In or out in no time. Check out YouTube videos. You simply buckle it up and close the seat. I have used one for about a year and love it.

This sucks. Stopped to get gas and cleaned bugs off the windshiled. The pad on the squeegee had something in it that left some very fine scratches on the windshield. You can not even really catch your fingernail in them. They are right in my line of sight. I called a couple of windshield places...

Depending on how long you plan to own the vehilce, you will have much better resale value from a 4X4 model. I have an SR5 but I understand the Trail holds its value better.

The newer SR5 use a knob similar in appearance to the knob in the limited. The Trail uses a lever. You are probably seeing the knob and assuming it is the same system in the LE. The knob in the SR5 has settings for 2H/4H/4L.

Thank you. Charleston.

I was looking at older post (2010ish) and they referenced certificates. Do you just roll into the dealer at 5k and ask them to get to work?

How long after purchases does it typically take for Toyota to mail the certificates for the 2/25 free maintenance? I am about a month out from purchase.

4Runner may not be number one, but Nos. 1 &2 are commercial grade vehicles that are likely used for heavy highway use. The 4Runner is the highest ranked vehicle in its class. Comparing a 4Runner to a commercial grade pickup is not really apples to apples. Either way, a 3.5% chance of making it...

I back down a steep driveway and then immedatedly go up a steep hill when leaving home. I have had the same issue a few times. It was the traction control light.

I had the same issue with 2012-13 holding their value so well it makes more sence to just buy a new one if you can swing it. I started looking at used and ended up buying new. Hopefully the 2014 will hold its value just as well.

That worked. Thank you.

Thanks. I thought I had an evil little defect eyeballing me every time I looked over at it.
