I tow my 4k lbs boat/trailer (with surge brakes) regularly with my V6 and it's great. I get 11-12 mpg while doing it.

Thanks Ryan, I've been suffering with burnt out lights for months.

Here's another vote for using a hand pump, I'd recomend getting a good one, I bought the amsoil pump and it's pretty nice. Which ever one you get you'll probaby want to put a hose clamp or zip tie on the hose to pump conection mine leaked without it. Also I'd put down card board, you're going...

Thanks CJ, lots of good info. Plugs and gear fulid go in tonight and I just ordered a K&N air filter. Am I reading the trans fluid change right, you pull the line and then start the motor to pump out the old fulid? Are you filling while it with new fluid while it's running. I've done fulid...

I just rolled 60K miles on my '06 4x4 V6 and I'm going to change the plugs. My only real concern is gas mileage, which ones should I get? I remember seeing a past thread on here about that but I tried searching and couldn't find it. I also plan on cleaning the throttle body, changing the...

I live in Eagan and work in Minneapolis.

That's a good deal. I looked for a long time and the best I could find was a 2006 Limited with 40k for $22.5k, bought it a month ago. I think a lot of those fleet lease vehicles are rentals. I've owned both the SR5 and the limited in the Gen 4 and the limited is well worth the extra money IMO.

I just bought a 3 year old lease return Limited with the Michelin cross terrain 18" tires. The spare is a Good Year Wrangler, is that normal? The spare has never been used, I have the car fax report and the truck has never been in an accident, and the spare still had the factory sticker on it...

You're right they do have a 5 bolt. The rims I'm looking at have the 6 bolt pattern so they must not be off a 2008 LC, the guy said they were but he's obviously wrong. I still wonder about the TPMS though, anyone know about that? Are there different frequencies or codes for the different sensors?

Does anyone know if the stock rims and tires P265/60/R18 off a 2008 Land Cruiser with fit on my 2007 SR5 4runner. When I say fit I mean the bolt pattern and tire clerance lock to lock. Also, is the TPMS that's in the Land cruiser rims going to work with my truck? I think they are the same...

I would recomend the 2wd V6. Not only are you going to save money on the initial purchase but you'll save a lot of money in gas. I have a 3000 lbs boat and the V6. Look at it this way, fast forward 8 years and 100,000 miles. How many of those miles did you NEED 4wd and how many did you NEED...

I just saw a dealership here in MN has a few for $25,804. $8k off sticker price. 16" wheels, no sunroof.

I like the thread, I've been looking around at these. I really like those bull bars but I like the function of the full brush guard, namely headlight protection (those aren't cheap to replace), and if you ever hit something (like a deer) out in the middle of no where you might save your...

I just dumped my '05 Tundra (loved that truck) for an '07 V6 4runner and the main reason was gas mileage. I need a truck to tow my boats and snowmobile but would rather not drive around every day at 16 mpg. My last tank of gas averaged 22mpg (computer says 24) so I feel like I made the right...

As far as longevity, this question gets asked a lot on another forum I am on and the concesus (sp) seems to be the BF Goodrich AT. Most people say they get 80,000+ miles on them and some guys say 100,000. That's probably what I'll buy next.
