This is what I’m leaning towards, they are not pricey at Costco! $882 installed

Time for new tires for my Toyota 4Runner 5th gen. She now reached 140k and this is here second set of tires! Pretty good, ehh? Was running the toyo open country AT2 tires for about 70k miles and they are finally bald. Size: p265/70/R17. I don’t drive this suv anymore as I got a truck, so wife...

Actually diagnosed it myself. The two drain holes in front of the sunroof are clear, I ran water down them and water came out from underneath the front wheels. I then ran water around the sunroof with sunroof closed and noticed water coming in from that area from the sides of the sunroof. I’m...

It’s leaking thru the sunroof gasket. Looks like I need to order a entire new sunroof. This is going to be an expensive fix

Thank you!

I do. Where are the drains located? Wasn’t aware

Our beloved 2011 4Runner which we had since new has a water leak problem. Somehow water is getting in. It’s coming in thru the driver side seatbelt hole in front and rear somehow. We noticed it because the seatbelts are wet when it rains. It now has a musty smell to it that we cannot get rid of...

Thank you for this write up. I’ll be doing my plugs this weekend at 130k. I’m a little late, I know :)

I’m happy I said no thanks, I’ll be shopping around. I decided that I’m going to do it all with a buddy, or should I say, my buddy will do it while I watch. I’ll post an update once it’s done. I’m kind of skeptical myself that everything they told me actually needs to be replaced. It’ll be a...

Hello folks, My 2011 Toyota 4Runner sr5 4x4 v6 4.0l 128k mi was brought in for a 120k maintanence. They did the routine maintenance, and are also suggesting I do the following: 1. Serpentine belt $228 installed 2. 2 front brake calipers (one frozen) $700 something installed 3. Both front...

I have the 2011 year that does not have HID's. With that being said, as far as light output, I couldn't be happier. I did a mod that was posted on this forum. I purchased high beam bulbs, cut the tabs and they fit for regular bulb spot. Work amazing. Had this for 2 years now, and no one flashes...

Thank you btw for the heads up and saving me from a major headache. I'm glad I received honest feedback. These kind of issues shouldn't be swept under the rug. Toyota needs to own up to them

I'm a hardcore Toyota fan due to my current family car: a '11 4Runner: 125k and zero issues. After doing some research on the Tacoma on tacomaworld and Tacoma Facebook forums it's easy to see that it has 5 tsbs and MANY SERIOUS issues like, driveline rattle, diff leaking, very squaeaky leaf...

Joined that forum today and posed same questions. Hoping to get honest replies. I did see one guy abandon his for a 2017 ford raptor which is out of my price range, plus don't want a full size truck

Can you elaborate? I couldn't find any major issues..
