    Grip on bumper for dog

    Hi everyone! I just got my T4R last week. One thing I'm really looking forward to is taking my dog for some long rides with that great rear window down! She had trouble hopping into my old Xterra, but the bumper on the T4R provides a nice step before the full height of the cargo area, which...

    JBL Nav MP3 DVDs?

    Cool, thanks Koz! Have you tried it? If not I'm gonna burn one and give it a go this afternoon and I'll report back with a definitive answer having done it. Thanks for your help guys!

    JBL Nav MP3 DVDs?

    Hi guys, Does anyone know if the JBL audio system that comes with the Limited with Nav can read MP3 DVDs? I know it reads DVDs because it uses them for maps. I know it reads MP3 CDs. Will it read MP3s burned to a DVD? It would be pretty convenient if it could. Thanks in advance for any help!

    What would you like changed in your 5th gen?

    Yeah, I am probably going to do that. I just don't want to even think of punching holes anywhere yet, hahahaha For now the extension cable and open glove box might be what I do.

    AWD or FWD

    Just a guess, but the trail may be taller because of the difference in suspension. I think the roof rack is the same, just black instead of chrome. I love the way the Trail looks. I'm not a huge fan of chrome or leather, and I love the hood scoop. Given all of those things I still went...

    AWD or FWD

    The rim size shouldn't affect the height of the car (or am I wrong?) because the tires are lower profile. I went to look for 17" winter rims and the total wheel size with winter tires was almost identical (20" to 17"). So I don't think it changes the height of the car. Then again, maybe you...

    AWD or FWD

    When I was at the dealership picking mine up yesterday they had a Highlander in the showroom in "Crimson Mica". This may be the coolest red colour I've ever seen. Toyota Highlander - 2011 Photo Gallery Click on the 5th one. That picture does not do it justice. In the showroom I swore it was...

    What would you like changed in your 5th gen?

    This may be a silly thing, but I'd really prefer if the USB-in for the audio system was in the center console. As someone who wants to keep a few flash drives in the car, like you would with CDs, it's kind of obnoxious having to get into the glove to swap them. Imagine having to reach into the...

    AWD or FWD

    I got home with it last night and it was dark (I took a 2 hr drive home from the dealership to enjoy it). I took some pics this morning with my phone 'cause I couldn't find the proper camera, and I posted them in the new owners pics thread...

    AWD or FWD

    Hi there, I JUST had the same decision to make, and here's how I decided (after some great help from the people on this forum). In Canada you have no optionsonce you go Limited (other than NAV). So I was deciding between Trail Edition and Limited and I wanted to know which was better for snow...

    $205 Floor Mats? $1,300 Extended Warranty?

    Do you mean the all weather floor mats? Or are there just regular mats these guys are charging you for? I paid $129 for my all weather floor mats, but I think my dealer made a mistake and accidentally discounted them off. It was weird. I'm waiting for my 4Runner right now, should arrive on...

    Trail or Limited for snow on city roads

    I just want to thank you all again for the advice. As mentioned before I am going Limited. As a matter of fact I have gone Limited. It's supposed to arrive on Dec. 8th, meaning I'll probably have it on the 9th or 10th. Hopefully there will be no delay! For those in Canada, I can tell you, I...

    Swapping rims from 20" to 17"

    Actually I'll need my 20's, in the summer. I thought the post was pretty clear. I'm asking about during the winter. I have no intention of selling my 20s. Thanks Philsey and Ryan_S, I'll check my old Xterra tires and see what the diameter is. Hopefully they're compatible and I can get some...
