Thanks for the additional info. I'm gonna look through the Free and Classified sections. I also found two on eBay that are reasonable. I may just leave for a while it since the part that came off it's not essential. You guys are great!

Thanks for the replies. This is a great forum. I know Toyota had a 3.4 Billion dollar settlement to replace rusted frames on some models. So rust has been an issue with their vehicles. I honestly have never in my sixty years seen any car or truck show this kind of rust after only eight years...

I have had a piece of the engine shield of my 2014 4runner trail fall off from rust(Toyota 51405-60210 4 Runner Engine Under Cover Protector OEM) . I think the rust is way beyond anything that should be seen on an eight year old truck. Toyota has offered to pay for 50% of the part and nothing...

Thanks for the replys. I think it would be fun to have one for long trips but I'm probably better off spending on other things, like a lift kit, and sticking with ice.

Does this draw too much current to be plugged into the outlet in the back of the 4Runner?

PM received. Thank you! I'll let you know how things go.

I think I was lucky to find this thread. I bought my 4Runner Trail edition with the KDSS two years ago. Just turned thirty thousand miles and was thinking I should look into an extended warranty. So if you could send me the information also I would very much appreciate it!

After ordering my 4Runner over the Thanksgiving weekend I am happy to say that the wait is over and it has finally arrived!! It is a Blue Trail edition with KDSS and I am loving it. I had not test driven one with the KDSS but from reading about the improved on road handling I decided to go...

Thanks for the Congrats! Great to see that I'm not the only one looking forward to a hew toy! I figure I'll get mine somewhere around late January. The only consolation is the payments wont start till I get the vehicle. As long as I get it before April 1 I can get a beach permit. That...

Put a deposit down on a 2014 Trail with KDSS today. Will have to wait six to eight weeks for it but that's ok. Just really happy to finally be getting one!!!

Thanks, for the input. I have been wanting this truck for over a year now and realized that I posed a similar question last year. I went back to that post and reviewed it. Lots of good info there about tires, Caster settings and suspension. I will talk to the dealer about changing the tires...

I drove a new bone stock 2013 SR5

I realize that the 4Runner is a truck so let's get that out of the way first. I really like the 4Runner for many reasons. However after taking two test drives I found that I needed to constantly make minor corrections to the steering as I was driving it. I drove the SR5 model. I know the Limited...

I thank all of you for your input and advice. It all helped to finalize my decision! I will be purchasing a 4Runner in mid to late September. I'm looking to get the Limited Edition in either White or Blue with the beige interior. Can"t Wait!

Well, I think I've eliminated the Volvo. It's a great vehicle but it will not suit my needs as well as the other two, and it is the most expensive of the three. As for the 4Runner, I really enjoyed the feeling of security of that truck. In comparing it to the Outback, it is only four inches...
