We are on our 5th 4Runner. '08-'12-'13-15-18. All 4WD-SR5. Only change, leave dealer, go direct to tire store, install Michelin LTX/MS. Road Force with indexing, all 4. You have to get a tech that knows what he is doing. The Haweka 6 pin had only been used on the '15 and '18. There are...

4Runners Good thread. We are on our 5th 4 Runner, 4WD standard opt SR5. I am always amazed the trade in value. This last purchase, 2018 SR5-4WD, may be the last frame on body of the 4Runner, and this one may be a keeper.. Good driving protection for my wife. Only item needed with each...

Congrats ! I am on my 4th 4Runner since 2008. Just traded 2015 for 2018, exact same platform and color, all have been base SR-5's, 4WD. Best return $$ trade value of what I spent on previous SR5's, each time. Only concern when you trade is the difference. My wife always says, "You traded...

Michelin LTX/MS Defenders. I have them on new 4Runner and Tacoma. I have used this tire since 2008 on all 4Runner and Tacomas. MIchelin has upgraded this tire thru the years, from LTX/MS - LTX/MS2 - LTX/MS Defender. Get a good tire shop that has the lug centric with Haweka adapter and a...

This info from research, not saying it will work for you. The front ends on the 4Runner and Tacoma are super sensitive. If you have something just slightly out of whack you will definitely know it on these trucks. If you have a vibration and believe it to be cause be the wheels and/or...

Wrench is right. I just traded my 2015 4R 4WD for new one, same exact color and options. Wife thinks I am crazy, and the '15 only had 52K miles on it. Thinking tariffs, and new model, do not think the 19's will change, but the new decade coming in, 4R unibody ? If anyone is on the fence to...

There are no specifics here, except figure a new 4Runner in the 40K range, and the formula below. If the tariffs were to go through, a top-selling Lexus NX, now priced at $32,927, could jump to $40,233 if Toyota passed on the full $7,306 in potential tariffs, based on its 95 percent foreign...

The front ends on the 4Runner and Tacoma are super sensitive. If you have something just slightly out of whack you will definitely know it on these trucks. If you have a vibration and believe it to be cause be the wheels and/or tires, then you should not waste your time by going to a shop with...

If you can buy a new 4WD-4R for that price, jump on it. 30K 2WD ? Add in the sales tax, T&T, admin fee, transportation, etc. If you trade, you will pay tax on the difference. There is a $1K rebate on new 4R's in some regions. LS

The word "Tariffs" has to be considered here. If it happens, add 10%-15% to cost of 4Runners from Japan. You will also see the dealers adding up charges. I just took delivery 2018 SR5-4WD. I could not find out anything on 2019's. I do not want a unibody 4R. Dealers are loaded with 4R's...

This is the '15, SR5-4WD. Traded for the exact 4R, 2018. This way, no remorse. V

4R Vibration More Info Taken from researh. Here is the problem. The wheels used on the 4Runner/Tacoma are “lug centric” and are not the more common “hub centric” wheels like on most cars and light trucks. Hub centric wheels are centered on the vehicle hubs using the center hole in the...
