    Nerf Bars Installed!

    I think AutoAnything is having problems getting these in for the 4Runner and they've been on backorder for a long time, so they are probably just not listing them as being available anymore. I originally ordered a black set from them back in April and it was on backorder forever, so I finally...

    Columnist from Detroit News Review

    :iagree: I had the same experience as TTown when shopping for my current vehicle. After having very bad experience with VWs, and not so great long-term reliability with Ford trucks, I was determined to stick with either Honda or Toyota this time. I didn't set out to get a 4Runner, but once I...

    Female Parts

    Thanks Harper!:hatsoff: Now you've really got me interested in the Icon based on the ride/feel. We will be towing a camper next year and as my husband just suggested, that may also make us decide to upgrade the suspension sooner than 100k, we'll see how it goes, but now we have some great info...

    Female Parts

    Great thread, Sam...as another girl I've been confused by a lot more than you though so far, but you are encouraging me to ask more questions. Just a few more: On the SR5 with the soft shocks we have, how long can we expect those stock shocks to reasonsbly last with typical road driving plus...

    handling/feel of TE vs SR5, due to tires or suspension, or both?

    Ended up getting the Michelin LTX A/T2s after all at Sam's Club. We are happy with all the past Michelins we got there and they don't carry the REVO2s. I am selling all 5 of my almost new OEM tires for $400 over on the classifieds if anyone is interested, along with a set of OEM unused black...

    Pre-Purchase Questions

    leather I have a silver SR5 with leather (but no 3rd row seat), and not sure about other vehicles, but my leather interior is really more of a dark grey rather than black (pics below). The seats are very comfortable to me and to my husband - he says it is one of the few vehicles he can fall...

    Interesting experience with 1st oil change

    My dealership didn't tell me about it when I bought mine either back in April, but when I learned about it on this forum, I went right back and asked where the info on that was in my paperwork, and they provided it immediately saying they "forgot". I think a lot of dealers are hoping people...

    ***Camping in 4runner

    Goatdog - where did you get your WindowSox for your 4Runner? I found one site in N. America that appears to sell them, and they have a lot of vehicle fits listed, but I don't see 4Runner as one of them. Which size did you get? I have a 5th gen. I know the Prado is the Australian version of the...

    Orderd a 5th Gen, what is the expected wait?

    I don't know what color Limited or exactly what options you were waiting on, but like I said earlier, check the dealership in Kingston, NY in the Hudson Valley (not far from PA), I just saw 2 Limiteds (1 black w. black leather, 1 white w. beige leather) on their lot last week, and 2 SR5s (white...

    handling/feel of TE vs SR5, due to tires or suspension, or both?

    Thank you for your additional observation on the KDSS and the recommendation on the Revo 2s. I was able to pull up the emailed quote for the TE that I test drove, and it defintely did NOT have the KDSS with Nav upgrade, since it was not listed and the MSRP was only $36,704 rather than $40K. It...

    handling/feel of TE vs SR5, due to tires or suspension, or both?

    Not sure if you mean me or Pat, but we are towing only a couple of times a year for now, in summer, we won't be towing frequently until we retire (and by then I'd be on a different set of tires anyhow), so maybe a P is fine for now as you suggest. Pat, your stock tires on your TE are which -...
