This is an experiment I did a few years ago. Distance to drive after low fuel light comes on

I second CutthroatSlam. I always do my own oil changes, and on my 2018 SR5, in the first year or so i would religiously try to remove that center plug and replace the gasket. Lots of frustration and sweat. Then I decided I will not remove that thing again, ever. 80k miles later, haven't...

A couple weeks ago when I talk to one of the dealers, the guy told me they are expecting tons (his words) of Tacomas and Tundras. They are in Auburn, WA - Doxon Toyota. Give them a call if you still looking. They sell to MSRP, no negotiations.

If I didn't dislike that driver assist electronics so much, I would trade my 2018 for a 2024 just to get the last of the 5th gen and start all over ... :biggrin2:

Last summer i went to Chicago to visit the Car Care Nut guy and asked him this question. He said it's normal and should not worry about it. Just clean the crust from time to time. My SR5 did this from new.

Just noticed a ton of new 4Runners at the 2 Toyota dealerships in my area. SR5-s MSRP for $46k TRD-s MSRP for $50k+ Guy at one dealership said they are expecting a bunch of Tacomas and Tundras as well. No hybrids though ... (Rav4, Sienna, etc) I got my SR5 in 2018 for $35k ....

Blue Sumo Springs. About 10k miles on them, on- and off-road. Firmer ride. No more nose dive.

seatia -- Thank you for your post, I have the Nise Rack myself, I like it. Looks like RTT is actually feasible. I am thinkig to get a GFC (GoFastCampers), I think somebody posted here (and I confirmed from their website) that it mounts directly on the 4Runner roof, using their proprietary...

I plan to remove the ladder once I am in the tent, and take it inside. This might make getting down more cumbersome. I am more concerned about people with bad intentions than animals, to be honest. The reason an RTT is appealing as an option is that it gives me a lot of space in the back of...

jdm-v35 T4R_Canuck HEAVY WT Awesome info, did not know that, I thought the 120 lbs is what the roof can sustain. I understand now that it is a limitation of the factory roof rails. I will look into a good quality RTT. I am ok spending extra for a roof rack. I am thinking a clamshell...

Thank you all for your input -- I got more data on this RTT solution. I don't think it's going to be a go for me though, because of weight. Especially for a long(er) term solution. If I could reinforce the roof, or build some structural bars around the roof that would hold all that weight, it...

Ground tent is not an option, I won't feel safe, I will be in the middle of nowhere, on top of mountains with wind and rain, or deep in forests. I prefer hard walls around me - or soft walls but elevated. A trailer, like the runaway, would be good but it will stop me to go many places that i...

This will be permanently mounted, will not take it down.

Considering a rooftop tent for my 2018 4runner. This will be used almost daily for a continuous, extended period of time (at least 2-3 years) so I need something that will take abuse and inclement weather without problems. My main concern is weight, as follows: 1 - weight during motion. I...
