    Is the 7 pin connector hot when engine is off?

    When the T4R engine is off but still plugged into the trailer is the trailer battery pulling from the T4R battery? Or is the 7 pin connector only hot when the vehicle is running? If I camp overnight and leave the 7 pin connector connected and the battery in the trailer runs down will the trailer...

    Trailer Break Override triggers ABS and VSC dash light

    Sorry to thread jack but my search was unsuccessful. When towing a trailer the T4R is charging the trailer's battery. If, when the T4R is off but still plugged into the trailer, the trailer battery becomes depleted will the trailer then deplete the T4R battery? Or is the 7 pin connector only hot...

    Removing 2nd row seats

    I just wanted to be clear for the next person who might use the thread as guide. I'm including running up and down the stairs searching for the correct socket and erroneously thinking the stud used torx wrench instead of just the eventual vise grip on the non-threaded end. Searching for the...

    Removing 2nd row seats

    Not as easy as 5 min but not insurmountable either. My 4Runner in 2013 with the 3rd row seat option. I don't know why but it is different than the detailed explanations above but similar. My second row consists of a single seat and a double seat they both slide forward and back and recline and...

    Removing 2nd row seats

    How hard is it to remove one side or the other or both of the 2nd row seats? I am planning a vacation and I'd like to get more space in the rear of my 2013 4Runner. I have the 3rd row seat option so that takes up some height in the cargo area. I'd like to remove the 2nd row then put them back...

    Most efficient speed?

    You are correct. I think she sees 32 in town. I don't "set and forget" the cruise control. I've gotten to a point that it is habit and I use it to maintain perfect speed while disengaging long before red lights and other traffic issues. Not to hilly around here and hardly ever is there a road...

    Most efficient speed?

    Anytime I see 20 on the OBC I'm pleased. How accurate is the OBC? My first tank of gas calculated out to be 19.1 mpg (top off to top off). The OBC said 18.5. Is this slight discrepancy what others are seeing? What affects the accuracy of the OBC? Thanks

    Most efficient speed?

    There aren't any freeways around here. Even the interstate is 55 in town. Years of trying for the best mileage has acclimated me to a less frenetic pace. Thanks again!

    Most efficient speed?

    At 75 mph the Prius gets about 41 mpg and at 80 mph it's down to 36-38. The Volt, once the battery is depleted, gets about 34 mpg at 80 mph. I see your point regarding the hybrid vs 4Runner mileage! When I drove to Florida with 3 kids, a roof box, and two bikes on top of the Prius I saw 25...

    Most efficient speed?

    Thank you for the responses. In my growing fleet of vehicles I have a Prius, a Volt and now finally a bigger car , the 4Runner (my second the first being a 2003). My wife drives a Fiat 500 and loves it, go figure. The two hybrid cars operate more efficiently at slower speeds. The 4Runner EPA...

    I tried searching for the answer without luck. What is the most efficient speed for fuel economy given level ground and 65 degrees outside air temp? I have the tires set to 35 psi. 2013 LTD Thanks Josh
