Thanks Arishtat. Sounds like a step in the right direction. I may stop by next time I'm in western Maryland. It's better than nothing...which I know is a low bar.

Has anyone?

Had this boulder strewn driveway put in just for the truck!

Too expensive for a 100K miles T4R-Te in my opinion. I would ask to drive it off the lot for $20k inclusive of tax, tag and title tops. Tell him you are doing them a favor. The vehicle doesn't have running boards, The chrome tip is missing from the exhaust, it's clearly been used to tow...

Added a chrome exhaust tip and posted about it on the "Exhaust Tip Installed" thread……I tried installing this outside this morning. It's just a five minute job…right. Unlike the 74F at sunny Santa Cruz it was -5F windchill with wind blown snow but it was sunny. The tip didn't seem to fit...

Here is what I found:- Once you push the chrome tip on to the exhaust you can feel the bump hit the exhaust pipe. Continue pushing, I had to tilt the chrome tip up and down to get it to slide over the bump. I pushed the input tip on passed the narrowing of the exhaust pipe till nearly at the...

try Toyota Owners Resource Center: Owners Manuals, Automotive Glossary, Warranty, Safety Information select you year and model and download your manual.

OK this is for a 2012 Nav system. But the 2010 should be similar. The manuals are online..somewhere. I googled and found them for my 2012 but you can push the button on the steering wheel with the face with lines in front of it. It's the lower button on the right hand side of the wheel and...

I ordered and installed the factory running boards after my wife had knee surgery(unrelated to entering and exiting the truck) on my ~one year old 2012 TE, then was going to remove them when here knee was all better. The knee is all better but I left the running boards on as the boards have an...

Sorry to here this, I hope you are ok. I'm skeptical of what the shop says. From what you say the impact speed speed could not be that high. I know the Suburbans are heavy but damaging the T4R's frame? If the frame is ruined my guess is the body will be twisted. How did the shop determine the...

…..less time modding = more time driving! That looks like a good deal…nice work!

+1 for KDSS Since you wish to please your wife then check out the Range Rover Evoque before you pull the trigger on an SUV. Luxurious, great ride, cool looks and works both on and off road…..it is a real Range Rover……and that bastion of car based consumer advice "Top Gear"(UK) really liked...

Difficult question to answer. All three vehicles are large. The T4R is a large vehicle, it does have a backup camera that helps a lot. Not until I raised the driver seat vertically, where I now get better all round vision did I get comfortable driving the truck. My wife also found the...

There is more vertical clearance in a miata with the top down than any suv I have a 97 Miata (supercharged) a 94 4R SR5 and 2012 T4R trail with KDSS. Before purchasing the trail I rented several suv's including a Jeep, a Caddie, a highlander and test drove a CX9. Of all the vehicles the T4R...

Yes it's a 2012 trail with KDSS beside my 94 SR5 2.4L. I bought the trail to replace the 94 but as you can see I still have the ol'4. Might have something to do with my wife loves to drive the new 4 Runner. As you can see it has the Toyota running boards. I put these on later. Something...
