This dealer states he has a 2009 Trail Edition for sale: Caldwell Toyota

Price reduction! It's now on AutoTrader

Silver, still under warrenty. Hate to sell it, but I just bought a new truck. It's now on eBay.

One way to obtain a definitive answer is to email Toyota: Email Toyota

Mine came on about a year after I bought the car new. I checked the tires and they were all around 26 PSI (guess the dealer forgot to check them when I last brought it in). I inflated them to 32 PSI, and the light went off. So count me as one person glad to have the gauge. One complaint tho...

Off-road popup trailer for sale. I've towed it with my 4Runner and it works great! This is THE popup for off-road adventure. See my web page for more info.

You can always email the question to Toyota. I've emailed them in the past and they always answer in a few days. Here's the URL to use: http://toyota.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/toyota.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_sid=dsBPkZuh&p_lva=&p_sp=&p_li=

I bought a 2005 V8 about a month ago, and it now has 3,000 miles on it. The MPG meter tends to be as everyone else reports, about 1 or 2 MPG better than actual computed MPG. So it doesn't appear Toyota changed the MPG meter for the 2005 model.

I guess my real concern is driving on pavement while in 4 lo for a short distance. All my other previous 4x4 vehicles could not be driven on pavement while in 4x4 mode, hi or lo range. Since the V8 4x4 4Runner is always in 4 hi range, is it OK to drive in 4 lo range while on pavement?

I have a 2500 lb trailer that I towed with my (now sold) V6 Ford Explorer. I park the trailer in our driveway, which has a slight downhill slant towards the street. The driveway is somewhat narrow, so I have to back the trailer up slowly. With the Ford, after about 5 minutes of backing up I...

z-579 I just ordered some SCC Z-579 chains from Vulcan Tire, $106 plus shipping. They're at http://www.vulcantire.com/chainz_c.htm . I don't ever plan to actually use the chains, they're there mostly to show the CHP when necessary, but the Z-579 chains are lightweight and relatively easy to...
