Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still just rolling the idea around in my brain. I think my kid would actually be ok with driving now, but he's also younger and easily amused and fascinated. lol Not sure that will last. I'm hoping to do some shorter road trips this year, so I'll see how he...

Hey man - awesome read. I haven't gotten through all of the videos, but I did read through the whole thread. Just wondering - apart from your "adventures" getting stuck in the snow, were there any sections of the TAT that you considered problematic/sketchy? I'm considering maybe doing a...

Yup. Or 36k (which is when it would expire if it's before the 3 year).

I'm a fairly clueless first-time-4wd owner with a recently purchased 2013 Limited, and this was even painful for ME to watch. (Granted, I've read the manual front-to-back several times already.) Having said that, if he gets a lifetime warranty out of the video, I'm breaking out my video camera...

I bought a used fob through eBay - make sure you get either a new or virgin one. I paid $85 for a "used" virgin-ized fob. (Cleared by the seller prior to sale.) If you buy a used fob with previous vehicle information, I believe you need to reset all the current fobs and then program them all. I...

Sounds like you did some troubleshooting, so you probably made sure this was right, but... I did the install in my Windows 7 machine last night, and the Techstream software found the cable, etc., but it was unable to connect to VIM when I plugged into the truck. Turns out I the directory for...

You forgot the link. :) I'm actually buying privately, and apparently this owner only received one fob when he bought the car last year. If it was through a dealer, then yes, I would definitely ask for at least one extra.

I did read a thread that outlined the differences between the various "ebay options" - meaning new vs used vs virgin vs _____. I seem to remember that ideally you wanted either new or virgin, because if the key still had a program in from a previous owner, it may not be easily erased except by...

Did you ever try this or come up with another solution? I'm tentatively closing on a 2013 Limited on Saturday, and there is only one key. I'd like to get a backup, but don't have much interest in paying $400 for one.

Thanks. I found a relatively local dealer (Conicelli) that could do the 8yr/100k for $1300 or so. I decided against the one I was looking at in Philly at the Chevy dealer - the nav didn't work, and then when I got home, I did a little research and discovered it was the Rosen aftermarket nav...

New guy here! I've been lurking as I pondered this same decision. Like others here, I've always bought used in order to save the instant depreciation in driving off the lot. I have been browsing a lot as I waited for some back pay to come in which I'll be using as a down payment. My quick...

Hey all - I've been lurking for a while as I am getting ready to purchase a 4runner - probably a late-model used one. I've mostly looked at CPO models from Toyota dealers, but I've come across one or two good possibilities at non-Toyota dealers, so I'm thinking about getting one of those and...
