It was brand new when i got it last January. It was printed in the newspaper as one of their AD cars (4 available). Didn't regret this purchase at all. You are gonna hate me. I paid for my 2004 SR5 V6 (only option is the mag and the cargo net) for $25,100 OUT THE DOOR!!!!! Got this from...

You are gonna hate me. I paid for my 2004 SR5 V6 (only option is the mag and the cargo net) for $25,100 OUT THE DOOR!!!!! Got this from Power Toyota in Irvine, CA. It was one of the 4 available on that day.

This might have been covered in another thread. But recently i have purchased some synthetic oil and i would like to change the oil myself. Is there a procedure list on how to do this? To drain the oil, I realize I have to take out the a metal cover below the vehicle. This should reveal the...

I have a 2004 4Runner V6 2WD. I know i don't have the same engine but i do share the "bad Mileage" experience. i get 15-17 MPG on my 2wd v6. That's running by myself normally to and from work. I live in Los Angeles and most of my driving are on the highway. Never the less, i suspect there...

I am just curious. Has anyone attempted to time their own 4RUNNER going from 0-60? Of course, there will be many variable that affects this. I think we should start this so we can get an average of how EACH model compares. I own a Solara v6 5 speed. In Car and driver, it is marked flat 7...

That's correct. I live in EL MONTE actually. I say i do around 60% freeway and 40% surface street. i am using 89 octane right now. Maybe i should try 91 and see if it would help out. But getting 15 MPG is a big shocker to me giving the fact that i have not driven it like a sports car. 25...

Just want to get a general poll on how your V6es are getting in terms of MPG. I have a 2004 SR5 V6 2WD. I have been getting 15-18 MPG lately (with A/C on all the time because of summer). I do a mixture of city and highway driving. Just wanted to compare and see if there is anything wrong...

First of all, thanks for sharing all of your experience. Longo Toyota in EL Monte, CA (largest Toyota dealership in the US - they claim) has a new system. It offers the customers to fill out a form after they bring their car in for service. Grade is Excellent, Good, fair, or poor. If...

I just posted at least 8 TSBs for our 2003-2004 4Runner. While the "bugs" on the vehicle affects many truck owners here, i personally have NOT experience any of the symptoms described. However, if my truck's VIN # is listed as a candidate on these TSBs, would i have my local dealer fix these...

Do we have these TSBs in a PDF format? I would like to bring them with me to the dealership tomorrow and have them fix everything once and for all. July 13 - BO030-01 REVISED, WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING, All models and model years through current. June 15 - BO013-04, SEAT...

Questions: 1) Any data on 0-60 time on both the V6 4X2 and V8 4X2? I am very curious on this since i think the v6 might accelerate faster but the V8 has the higher capacity to tow more stuff.
