Just performed first ever oil change at the dealership. The mileage was 5,140 or so. The MAINT light flashed at 4,500 and remained on at 5,000. This is a pre-programmed precaution to get people into the dealership before owners begin to neglect their vehicles and I believe has no bearing on the...

V6 4WD and V8 4WD are the only options available through Military Tax Free Sales. I was encouraged not to get the V8 unless I was going to pulling a boat or something. The gas mileage must be horrible. I got the V6 as suggested and I am not complaining. It doesn't get up and go as I have come to...

We ordered Titanium Silver (TiAg) because the wife wanted one for so long but later decided Galactic Gray was a better color but we couldn't change it. Oh well, life goes on!

That article really summed it up. Thanks for the insight. It is no shock that BMW will incorporate such a loose cannon approach to this but as I thought more about it, they were one of the first companies to come out with such technology well before this new legislative statute was in effect...

I like the way BMW seats warm up so hot. They actually penetrate through several layers of clothes that you would wear in the winter anyway. There's no going back after I have them now. Only the 4Runner we ordered didn't list it as an option.

Galactic Grey! What an awesome color! I tried to change my order to that but it was too late. In any case, I recommend the V6 on the same grounds as it was pitched to me by a friend. Unless you plan on towing a boat or something, the V8 is not worth it. Plus you already have a Tahoe and that...

That sucks serious a$$. Everyone is going with the lighter more cosmetic ammentities that makes sales but jeapordizes safety. I hope to never get into an accident and don't plan on off roading either. But the wife is going to drive it so I can expect some type of damage!!! LOL! (Watch out for...

It's hard to believe that tire pressure monitoring is built into the wheel itself through the valve stem and would have to be transferred everytime you switch out tires or rims. I understand its a different manufacturer but in my BMW the tire pressure sensors is in tune with the on board...

I thought rustproofing treatment was something the dealership did during their acceptance inspection before the customer took delivery of the vehicle. I've seen this on larger block truck engines before so I assume it's normal, but it does look discouraging to say the least. I'm picking mine up...

Great job in documenting your travels! I don't know too many people who would do such a thing. I tend to keep it logged in memory but it doesn't last long!!! LOL! It appears you haven't used 4WD as much and I'm concerned your data may be skewed. It only shows 4 times with 4WD giving you your...

I'm about to take delivery of mine I bought through tax free military sales here in Europe. The SR5, Sport, and Limited's come "pre-packaged" and we don't get to select our options. They are built uniquely that cannot be mirrored to any of the ones they produce for the U.S. market. They are U.S...

Excuse my ignorance, but what is Fj?

Most seat warmers provide heat in both areas. My BMW heats my lower back as well and they are typically smaller seats. I can't imagine that the 4Runner wouldn't do the same. I mean, what's the point? Don't you agree?

Now is that ALL vehicles or just 4Runners? How many 4Runners were sold?

Great job on the interior! Make sure you keep up the maintenance on it!
