    Burning rubber smell right rear fender well.

    I notice this smell after driving up a steep dirt mountain road for five miles on a weekly basis, year round, up to Arctic Valley. At first I thought it was a hot rear diff, but I was very careful when I serviced that regarding lube level. But just recently it occurred to me as I was smelling...

The most important traction enhancer is "driving for conditions", meaning to...

    2018 TRD Pro or Offroad and KDSS question

    I have a 2015 KDSS-equipped Trail, which I love, but then it fits my needs. Namely, it gives me a great planted ride on twisty highways, something I learned when I test drove a Non-KDSS and KDSS-equipped Trails back to back. If you are spending most of your time on highways, then the planted...

    2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD OffRoad: Test Drive

    As an owner of a 2015 TE, I thought this review of the 2018 TRD Off Road was one of the better ones I've seen in terms of thoroughness and accuracy.
