Good to hear you acknowledge the 4Runner limits and high CoG. After pondering the forums about people's experience and my own experience in a 5th Gen it seems the 4Runner can be very slidy and the ABS is very quick to engage. I feel the tires have no weight over them and do not stick to the...

I have an 18 Offroad Pro and experience the same sliding effect stopping in winter conditions. I'm talking about low speeds and level ground the 4Runner just slides!! I drive my wifes Nissan Rogue with all seasons and her car feels rock solid in winter conditions. I am running KO2's with...

Good stuff! How many miles are on your KO2s? I have 30k. Not hating just disappointed that my wifes Nissan Rogue AWD with Michelin Defenders does not slide nearly as much and handles way better in winter conditions. Yes the 4Runner will handle deeper snow better but most of the time the...

How are you liking your Michelin Defenders? I am thinking of going with these year around next time? Do you find that highway driving is much more comfortable and quiet than the K02?

My experience is very poor driving in snow/slush/ice in here in Boulder, CO in my 5th Gen with K02's. So much slippage, especially coming to a stop. The 4Runner just slides even at low speeds. Extremely disappointed and sort of regret buying a 4Runner for how much snow Colorado gets. BTW...

What did you dislike about the 5th Gen after your test drive?

This is always a very subjective topic. I recently traded in my 2007 4Runner Sport for a 2018 Offroad KDSS. I wish I kept my 4th Gen. -More power -Better Handling -4th Gen was perfect size for me -Transmission felt smoother in the mountains There really is not much updated tech in the 5th...

2018 Offroad KDSS KO2 10K No vibration issues but my alignment sucks from day 1. Vehicles pulls to the right. Had my tires balanced several times at Discount Tire and 3 Alignments done by the dealer. No Fix. Any suggestions?

Same issue. Brand new 2018 Offroad Pre KDSS. The steering wheel is not straight and care pulls to the right. Took it the dealer last week for an alignment/tire balance and nothing was resolved! Taking it back tomorrow and a different tech is supposed to work on it. I did put swap on...

Is there a break in period for the 4X4 systems? Should the 4Runner be at a certain mileage before using: 4wd, 4Low, Crawl Control or Rear Locker? Just picked up a 2018 OffRoad and anxious to take it on the trails but going to wait untill at least 1,000 miles before anything technical and steep.

Just bought a 2018 4runner Offroad Pro with KDSS. I was heavily debating between the SR5 and ORP KDSS. After test driving both the KDSS was well worth it. My 4th Gen 4Runner had Xreas and then Bilstiens at 110,000 miles so I was used to the flatter handling. Both SR5 & ORP are plenty...

I am also deciding between a SR5 Premium and Offroad Premium KDSS. My selling point is which will handle better on road as both of these are more than capable for my offroad uses. Less nose dive and better handling on mountain roads. How does an SR5 with Bilsteins and upgraded tires compare...

KDSS vs Bilsteins for On Road Handling I am also deciding between a SR5 Premium and Offroad Premium KDSS. My selling point is which will handle better on road as both of these are more than capable for my offroad uses. Less nose dive and better handling on mountain roads. How does an SR5...
