that stinks - now you have me thinking....I will be scheduling my 10k service for this monday/tuesday. Most definitely performing a double check after the service. I have serious doubts that they even rotated the tires at the 5k check, but forgot to mark them. Good luck and keep us updated...

I agree the review leans toward the America manufacturers. But honestly I would not expect anything different from the Automobile Association of America (AAA). With the declining SUV sales, and perhaps overall declining sales regardless of model, they wouldn't dare endorse a foreign model. It's...

Looks like they are discounted 3-4K...personnally, I would opt for a new one. Find a 2010 left over and you'll get a pretty good deal. Not to mention the bumper-to-bumper warranty is 50% used on both of these vehicles...and who knows how they were treated. One more thing to add, I bet they...

Nice, maybe I have not paid close enough attention to mine--I'll give it a listen when I go for the morning coffee tomorrow. As for what you can do, seems if the dealer will not fix then only options are 1) deal with it, which is the easy road; 2) escalate and file complaint with Toyota via...

I dunno - I have not really paid attention - it's an SUV, almost all get the dirt/water on the rear window. Actually, I really don't use the rear wiper if that's any indication of how much water gets on the window (not enough to block my view). Still vote that I am quite happy with the 5th gen...

I have a limited as well and have not experienced any clicking noises. I have used the auto temp control as well as manual. It's probably the control valve adjusting to the temp setting (i.e. opening to let hot water through exchanger to produce warmer air). Either way, it should be silent -...

1) I have not had the pleasure of removing the engine from my 93 4runner - although, checking out the engine compartment it does look like a very tedious job. When the head gaskets went last year I opted to take it to a mechanic to do the job - $1500 later and a couple days work and it was...

Looks really good. I have been on the lookout for a set of 17" to do the same thing - gott throw on a set of winter shoes - the factory wheels/tires probably will not fair so well in the snow (mainly the tires, but if I had a second set I could swap them each season myself).

That probably has to do with the tranny learning the driving habits. With that little amount of weight I wouldn't worry about it. Tow on brother, tow on! :thumb3:

Yeah - I would say the offer still stands and if they can put something together then to give you a ring. If you can wait, the best time to purchase a vehicle is right around the corner - Year end - go shopping on 12/28 through 1/1/2011 and I bet you will get the deal you are hoping for. I...

No problem, glad that was it. Apologies for the delay in my response. I'll be honest, I completely forgot to follow-up till I saw your post.

There's a button on the map screen called "show on map". Click that and select(or unselect) "Route trace".

Given all the challenges you mentioned for selling private party it may be just easier to trade them in. When doing trades I always shoot for Kelly Blue Book value of Good for a trade and then look to purchase the vehicle within 100 of invoice. I did a quick check on the dodge and they appear to...

Maybe so, but it's all about the room and technology. The 2nd gen still gets up and goes without a problem, just has a minor oil drip (as shown in pictures) - nothing major, just old age and 185,000 miles catching up to it.

Well - you are only $1100 from where you wanted to be. If these are the first negotiated numbers then go back and say you really want to make the deal come to gether and see if they will meet half way. So they come up with $550 more and then you do the same. :sniper: Overall it does not...
