Well here is hoping it improves; so far, I am getting nowhere close to the advertised MPG; my first tank saw about 13.5 mpg, not even close to the sticker of 17/21 mpg and I am reading many complaints about that. Hoping as things continue to break in, mpg gets somewhere close to the range of...

Nope, did not buy the wrong vehicle, I was just curious. My last 4 runner was bought used, and was a RWD, so it has already been broken in, as I bought it with about 75K miles on it. This is my first new 4 runner, only had 6 miles on it , so I was just curious if there was a breaking in...

Thanks for the input everyone. :reddance:

I did, but it is getting less than what is estimated. I know it's just estimated, but does a new car have a break in period, where that also might affect mileage? I also know mileage is affected by how much city/interstate driving you do as well. It's just been about 15 years since I had a...

Traded in my 2006 White 2x4 on Friday for a 2015 Limited 4x4; did not really want or need a 4x4, but everything else about the car was awesome. I mean, I am sure it can come in handy, but it was not a necessity to have that particular feature. I love the car; it is awesome from head to toe...

Concerned greatly over 2 incidents that have happened recently. The first incident, I was coming off an exit ramp, slowly applying my brakes to stop when I go over an uneven bumpy patch of asphalt. My 4 runner tries to stop, then comes to an ABRUPT stop on its own and then with my foot still on...

I have an '06, and just this week, started noticing a squeal when I put the car in reverse. I bought this used, and have only had it 2 months, and never noticed it before. I just recently had all brakes replaced...could it be the rear brakes or is it something else? THe squeal only happens in...

I must have been lucky with my prior Camry's, becuase I kid you not, when the heat was running full blast and if there was ice on the side mirrors, they would defrost and melt and I did not have heated mirrors. Thanks for everyones input and help :)

Thanks for the reply. The reason I assumed that blowing the vents in the normal position (having all the heat coming out above and none below or on defrost) is because of the small side vents on eash side of the dash, which are above the normal sized vents. In my prior Toyotas (albeit Camry's)...

This morning, with the cooler temps, I had to defrost my car. As I normally do, I turn on the rear defroster and then turn on the front defroster and the floor vents to run at the same time to warm the inside. My side mirrors did not defrost, but the rest of the car did, so I turned the heat...

Ok, I bought my baby a little over a month ago (2006 SR5, roughly 77K miles on it); it appears it needs new pads and rotors (squealing when braking, pulsating when braking, sometimes the steering wheel vibrates slightly when braking downhill). I am torn because I have been reading that 4Runners...

Thanks

I hate to be ignorant, so that must mean I need to replace the fuse for that? I assume that fuse for the ac/heat lights would be under the dash and would be clearly marked.:nerd:

I recently purchased my first 4-runner, 2006 SR5 white......love it. Question is this. I notice at night that out of the 3 control knobs for the ac/heat, the far right knob (the one that has all the positions on it) is lit. The other 2 knobs (the one for temp control and the other for speed) are...
