    Recent Gas Mileage

    I get a steady 18 to 19mpg town or highway. Only drops when I pull the trailer. Then it's 11mpg.

    Gauge info display different..?

    Yes. You have to pay either monthly or annual subscription to use the programming features. But once the changes are made they're sticky. So no need to pay beyond one month.

    The eco bar can be turned off with carista. I used their dongle and software to do it. Along with some buzzers and other program bits that toyota should have made available.

    Liftgate rust

    So to follow up on this. After shopping a new 4runner, and looking at other used ones, we decided to have our local guy replace the tailgate with a Toyota sourced piece that they painted. While having that done we also replaced the rotted front fender as well. It was much less than a...

    Aftermarket Stereo

    I installed their module, it's OK. Only real complaint is it doesn't handle multiple phones well. Other than that works well for a solo driver. Sounds d quality is really quite good.

    I'm done with AT Tires

    Funny, I'd be all over one with 4wd a strong v6 and towing package. I need a better towing margin on my 2014 4runner, all the choices suck. I'm shopping a smaller trailer to get around with. Currently pulling a 7x12 single axle, ebrake, fine local. Need to lock out OD and stay in 4th on the...

    Has anyone figured out a solution to the excessive downshifting in cruise control

    Happens even when not using Cc. I put a banks pedalmonster in a couple years ago. I tow alot usually lock the trans in 4 and keep it 65 and under on the highway.

    Liftgate rust

    really look close at theh bottoms of all the doors too. Mine developed tailgate rust like that, but it's elsewhere on the body panel. Oddly, my frame looks almost perfect.

    Toyo Tires Suck!

    Why is a replacement hood insulator so expensive?

    Tear the stock crap Out, clean the sheet metal and apply dyna-mat. Sound insulation and heat control. Plus mice won't eat it.

    Hatch and handle replaced, water under cargo carpet

    I'd be looking at the top of the hatch and how it fits to the body. Also as above check the grommets.

    Android Auto module

    Have a 14 limited which means jbl. After driving my wife's buick with aa I started researching upgrades and updates for mine. Ended up with the Hamilton update module on black Friday sale.
