"I think most people solve that issue by greasing the driveshaft slip joints" Mine started doing it around 200 miles. Wonder if Toyota forgot to grease mine :) Sounds like a problem Toyota needs to address.

My 4 runner had 19 miles on it when I leased it. The tires are Bridgestone and have 33 pounds of air in them. I will say that our trip was a very windy one. This is my first SUV so maybe I'm comparing the drive to my car. The vehicle just doesn't seem happy going straight down the road. It...

My wife and I took a short vacation of 600 miles. I'm sorry to say that I'm not at all impressed with my 4 runner :( Between fighting it to say on the road, vibration in the front and back and the transmission doesn't know how to work in hilly country I will say this was the most tried I've...

So far my biggest complaint is the darn transmission on my 4 runner. It just seems confused on what it's doing. I really hate that drag down feeling you get when you let off the gas. I also notice this with the cruise control on. When the cruise backs down I can feel the truck drag down and...

I've noticed this about mine to. I figured that I've drove a car for so many years that a SUV just handles different. Pretty hard for me to get use to :confused:

Thanks! Yes, it is all factory.

I love that white! Was the color I wanted but my wife won on the black :bash:

Just took some pictures of our new 4 Runner. Only thing I've done was add the chrome strips around the windows.

I've been driving my 2006 4 runner for a week now and I've noticed some thing strange. When I'm running along around 30 / 40 mph and let off the gas it feels like the SUV is dragging down instead of coasting. It almost feels like I'm using the brakes. Is the normally? Thanks

Drove my new 4 runner around 130 miles in the rain. Today I decided to detail it to clean up the water spots. I found out this is a lot of truck to clean :beer: Next time, I will stock up on more beer :D

V6 with 4WD

My wife and I just pickup a new 4 runner. So far I love it. The Toyota dealer had a real good lease on these and I could not turn it down. My only worry is gas mileage. We just did a 130 mile trip and the MPG computer says we AVG 18 MPG. Not bad for an engine not broke in yet. I just hope the...
