    Does this make any sense??

    Sorry to hear that! First of what is the average difference in fuel consumption between V6 and V8? 1-3 miles per gallon? Let's say it's 2 miles per gallon. On average fillup, which would be around 18 gallons, that's 36 miles per tank/fillup diferrence (36 miless less for a V8). So....if you...

    Why not get a V8 4X4.....

    I didn't pick my V8 over V6 because of the gas mileage, although it's almost the same... I picked V8 because of it's reliability! This engine (2UZFE) is buletproof! I have Lexus GS430 with 3UZFE and believe me this engine generation (V8s) is probably one of the best of Toyota designs!

    'Tail' fuse keeps blowing! ughhh

    Are you referring to the trailer 'socket' below rear bumper? If yes then I looked at this one, just visually, it's not rusted or anything either...there isn't any aftermarket radios and etc. in car either just an aftermarket alarm.. What else could I inspect for corrosion/breakage and etc.?

    Hi there! I have an '04 T4R V8 Sport Edition 4x4. Right after I bought it I noticed that some of my center console illumination was out and after checking fuses in engine compartment and inside I found a blown 10amp tail fuse. I went ahead and replaced it along with some of the bulbs for AC...
