    Weird symptoms: CEL, TRAC OFF, Multi Terrain, Trans sport mode

    Mine is a 2013 TE KDSS with around 40,000 miles. I don't know what the difference is between those part numbers. The dealer used my vin # to look it up. Notice that there is a slotted hole for the mounting bolt that allows some adjustment. I never had a delay shifting from neutral to D or...

    Weird symptoms: CEL, TRAC OFF, Multi Terrain, Trans sport mode

    I had the same problem a few weeks ago. Mine through a code P0705. Same symptoms and lights as yours. It turned out to be a neutral switch assy. It is located on the passenger side of the transmission and was a bit of a pain to remove, not much room there. The dealer had one in stock...

    Yet another request for tire recommendations

    LTX MS/2 's work well on bad roads. The only off road I do is some beach driving to fish and they do well there also. Last year I went up the Dempster hwy and had no problems, and that road is famous for destroying tires. When it rains up there the road gets soft and slick, I didn't even...

    Airbag recall mess

    I just had my 2013 done this morning at Team Toyota in Princeton N.J. They were finished in 2 1/2 hours. No rattles or blinking lights so far. Fingers crossed. They did offer a loaner, but I just waited.

    Dealership Service: Never Trust, Always Verify

    I had a similar experience with my first service. Stripped or missing bolts on the skid plate, and the filter was leaking. I service it myself now.

    Have you ever had windshield problems with your Toyota?

    Mine just cracked two days ago from the cold. I've had to replace the windshield on every suv I've owned, this one is no different.Still think it's a great truck.

    Rodent chewed injector wire

    Moth balls have worked for me. https://rustyspuds.smugmug.com/MISC/i-gJTVNVW/A I have a big oak tree in the yard so there are lots of tree rats. They chewed my injector wires up a few years ago. No problems since using the moth balls. https://rustyspuds.smugmug.com/MISC/i-ptkBdJn/A...

    Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

    I averaged 21 on a recent 700 mile trip in the adirondacks in NY. Stock 2013 TE. Around the burbs in NJ I average 16. It's a great vehicle, hats off to the gents who designed it.

    OEM Trail running boards?

    Mine came with them. I don't do any offroading other than the beach to surf fish so they never get in the way. The wife is on the short side so are a help to her.

    Texas to Alaska Expedition Thread

    You're going to love Alaska and the trip through Canada. I've been up there twice, once in 06 on a bike to celebrate retirement and again in 08 in an explorer pulling an enclosed trailer with a bike inside.I'am planning to go again this year. With the runner full of people and pups I...

    Thanks for the Welcome. I'll take some pics when the rain stops. I've been working my way through the owner's manual trying to learn a bit about this beast.

    From NJ

    I just bought a new 4 runner this week and found this site while looking for info on it. I've had different 4x4's since the 60's and this one seems to top them all by far. I don't do any offroad anymore, just dirt and gravel and of course the snow. I'll be using it for a trip to Alaska this...
