    Only KDSS w/lift need apply

    I have not been on this forum in years, but I remember the beginning of this thread, and after driving two hours on moderate speed fire roads the other day, I am so happy that to have dug it up and found that someone took the time to develop and sell a kit. If the haters on here think you can...

    Crawford Eco Block

    I can't believe this snake oil thread is still going on. Their own explanation for why it works is just nonsensical jargon: Familiar with a cold air intake? Those increase the volume of the intake, subsequently pulling the sensor out of the air stream. The Eco-Block does the same exact thing...

    Real World MPG with 5th Gen?

    In general the biggest mpg killers for a truck are: Sitting in traffic (ZERO mpg) Shit on your roof (-5 mpg) bad/aggressive/fast driving (-4 mpg) mechanical stuff like lift/tires/bad alignment/brake dragging/bad O2 sensor (-2 mpg) My truck got about 17.5 when stock and now 16.5 lifted in...

    Hot weather, anyone else notice this

    I feel like my truck is sluggish in general compared to other vehicles I drive. I'm convinced is is the terrible transmission programing combined with the lack of low end torque in the 5th gen. It is a little worse in the Phoenix summer, but its never great. My 3rd gen was slower, but it...

    Would you pay %25 more for a 4runner?

    Wow, I just noticed that this was your first post. So you, not knowing what you are talking about, just parroted another poster who was also incorrect. Topped off with a post title of: "Don't let facts get in the way of an opinion..." I have a feeling that partisan propaganda was your...

    Would you pay %25 more for a 4runner?

    I think we found the problem. Try this, it is commonly called the chicken tax. It is also a relic from decades ago, and I hope it also goes away so I can get a sweet compact diesel pickup. btw I was just watching the news and the deal today is for zero tariffs on everything except automotive...

    Would you pay %25 more for a 4runner?

    Just spreading uninformed info, a staple of forums everywhere. The chicken tax does not apply to SUVs. Ford actually puts temporary back seats in its imported Transit Connect work vans to get around it. The old Subaru Brat did the same thing. Trump (and I did not vote for him) is threatening...

    Towing experiences with your 5th Generation

    After dragging my small toy hauler all around the western US, I would say that if you tow a lot you should not get a 4runner. It doesn't handle tongue weight very well, but it is really let down by the lack of a tow mode on the transmission. To make it worse you must use the manual shift mode...

    KDSS vs Non-KDSS?

    KDSS is the single best tool to help reduce the downsides of driving and "shoebox with truck tires". It is nice that it operates as a sway bar disconnect for offroading but the main benefit is on-road. I did not really appreciate how big of a difference it made until driving an SR5, which...
