Thanks, though I'm still not sure. On the link you provided, it lists plugs at 60K with a footnote that says "required under the terms of the emission control warranty." Huh?

Love my '04 V8 T4R, and just turned 72,000 miles. I got to thinking that it has sure been a low-cost truck and began wondering about scheduled maint. The dealer has done most of the oil changes, and specifically did the 15, 30, 45 & 60,000 mile service. Looking at the 60K one, they changed...

Here's my summer ride -- gotta have a convertible, man.

One other possibility -- you DID say you'd just had an oil change, right? I had the same thing happen on my former Toyota (an '02 Highlander) after having my oil changed. The oil change guy knocked off some small hose that caused all the same symptoms. I was 400 miles from home and stopped at...

My V8 '04 runs just fine on regular, which only 85 octane at my elevation! When it's hot, with heavy load, and at lower elevations, I have to use higher octane. However, as you get to lower elevations, the octane of regular gas increases at the stations there.

Yeah, I think that also probably lets them charge more for the T4R version than the Camry, and way more for the Lexus version than the T4R, no doubt. Gotta know your target market, as they say.

I think the dealer has to make changes to the unlock program -- don't ask why you can do one and not the other. I wanted my doors to ALL unlock when I pushed the unlock button ONCE, and the only way to get that done was at the dealer with their plug-in computer. Good news is that they did it...

I know the dealer (owner) pretty well and he told me that the Lexus ver 4.1 (which I'd seen on eBay), for example, is NOT compatible with the T4R version of the NAV system. It seems pretty wierd that they would use different versions of the software that requires different data DVD's for...

Does anybody know what data version the current data is on the 4Runner NAV system? Mine says 3.2 and the dealer says it is the "current" version, though I have my doubts.

They do NOT play DVD's -- says so right in the Owner's Manual. Don't know about the other questions.
