Opinions vary. I'll let the vehicle idle for the time it takes for me to get belted in and settled. Then I drive like the old man that I am until the interior starts warming up.

Wow. Thank you very much for the info! Much appreciated!

I'm leaning toward the GX550 but I'm waiting for a few more to be on the dealer lot locally. I also want to see the new LX700 Overtrail, but that's a bit beyond what I'm willing to pay for a vehicle. The only thing I don't like about the GX550 is that it's 5 inches longer than the 4Runner. I'm...

Thanks for the info. I'm in Minnesota so that aligns with what I'm seeing as temperatures are under 20F. Drives just fine and I'm not concerned. It just seems "different" from the other 4Runners I've had. My scan tool dongle just showed up. So, I'll see what the data says.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye on it as the temps continue to drop.

Quick question that I don't see discussed for the 5th gen. I snagged one of the last 2024 5th gens and have noticed that it "seems" to take longer to warm up to operating temperature, at least according to the engine coolant temperature gauge. Not a big deal. Just curious. I've had 4 other 5th...

Paid a little under sticker for a 2023 Limited (like a couple hundred bucks under...I didn't ask why). Everything just lined up but most of the local dealers are selling at sticker unless it's a Pro. And, most are presold. Toyota still can't make enough 4Runners. I'm no longer interested in...

Just saw this thread today. Appears it is *more* possible than I thought: OEM 2020+ headunit with Apple Carplay/Android Auto into 2014-2019

I just picked up a 2023 Limited after being away from the 4Runner for a couple years. I don't think the current head unit is a plug and play replacement for model years before 2020. There are many aftermarket options. Mechanically, I don't think there have been any significant changes. So, up to...

+1 for the AT3. I've also run KO2s and if I were constantly off road, the KO2s would be my choice. I'm on pavement most of the time so I run the AT3s.

Only your butt and back can decide if the seats are right for you. I had a 2012 Trail and the seats were painful...for me. I'm now in a 2020 TRD Off Road with cloth seats and just got home from a 6 hour ride with no back pain at all. The Limited has very nice ventilated, leather seats which I...

I believe they are only selling the upper grille. That's the part number. It doesn't include the TOYOTA plastic slab....So, it's not much of a deal. It's just the internet price from multiple sites.

Thanks Thai. Not a surprise. But the Land Cruiser left most of us behind with the 200 series....

Before hydrogen, can I get a Land Cruiser with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. Please? Anyone? Yep, $85,000....

I ordered one. I don't think I'm a shill, but I'll let strangers in forum posts decide! As a company, they do deliver actual products...at a little slower pace than I would like. And I agree giving them the full amount in advance is a little annoying. But, it checks all the boxes for me and...
