it just does it anytime at low revs. slowing down for a red light, pulling in the garage, sitting idle in neutral, etc.

i thought it was the honda ridgeline.

mine developed the same "whine" two weeks ago. but mine goes away when accelerating. it's very noticeable though. fwiw, mine has 38,000 miles on my 2011.

white lettering out is sexy.

The traction control really is impressive in the 4r and helps control sliding and spinning in 2wd and 4wd hi. I was quickly pleased as i intentionally tried to lose control in an open lot and all the gadgets did their job to make sure i stayed planted on the ground with traction as well as...

this. mine was replaced last week. all seems to be fixed now.

i use manual shift all the time when towing my boat. I love it. locking in 4th gear while pulling my boat down the highway gives me great confidence that i have plenty of power and i'm not going to burn up the transmission upshifting, downshifting, upshifting, downshifting.

1. Look at tire weight with LT v. P 2. Look at fuel mileage loss with LT tires. 3. Realize people are logical and trying to get the best of all worlds( looks, function, and fuel mileage).

i tried to negotiate with a dealer on 5 different trips, so i emailed a dealer 15 minute away and after spending 15 minutes in the "internet sales" guy's office and telling him i didn't care if my 4runner had tint, floor board, roof rails, blue tooth, BP paint upgrade all i wanted was 4wd and i...

just call and say you would like to cancel your service. They will offer you a hell of a deal. My wife has been doing this for 4 years now with her Honda accord. Every time they offer to give her a 3 or 6 month deal that averages 5-6 dollars per month.

My 4 runner CC is far, far better than my Chevy Truck, Ford Truck, and Wifes honda Accord are. Say what you want, it works great and i travel hilly portions of I-30 daily. nothing horrible, but lots of long steady ~70-100ft climbs over and over. of course it's going to downshift on big hills.

any squeaks or noises from the daystar lift? that is my biggest fear with spacer lifts. could you post some ground to fender measurements?

mine reads 442 on fill ups now :)

i'm thinking of doing the exact same thing for a lift and leave the stock tire until they wear out (money issues). How is the ride and such? looks great.
