Old thread I know, yet I have to agree with Boompa 100%. I recently bought a used 07. Several times objects have launched out of the cargo area when I opened the lift gate. Today it was a container of washer fluid. I expect it now. It still makes me furious. This feature was over looked by...

Good to know. Can't count how many times I have tried to get in my car with an arm load of stuff only to find myself locked out. :dammit: How do is make it stop doing that.

My recently purchases used 07 4Runner has a similar issue. The doors lock themselves after about 15 seconds when I unlock with the fob. I want his feature disabled. IMHO it is just asking for the keys to locked inside. Also countless times I have walked outside to get something out of my car...

Look two posts up on this forum. I just replaced the mechanism, on mine, today. It is easy. Also replace the switch that opens the gate. About $200 and $40 for each. Troubleshooting is a waste of time. It seems to be normal and expected for it to fail on this vehicle. When it fails...

"Did you test drive it? I'm 6 inches taller than you and have no problems I tend to keep my seat as high as I can for offroad visibility, and sometimes smack my head, but I can easily lower the seat so that I have several inches of headroom, at the expense of short range visibility. " Jeremy...

Definitely opinionated. Frankly I am very upset with myself and a car that is highly regarded. Iit is clearly made for small people. It is not suited for a full sized tubby American. The seat is like the children's seats at my kids school. It is a scaled down version of a normal car seat. I...

I know this thread is old. I just bought an 07. I am 5'10" 230#. My in seam is 30". The driver's seat is too high I can not see traffic signals. The seat was too flat with no thigh support, so I shimmed the front edge. The seat bottom is 3" shorter front to back than my Explorer. If I...
