Well I'm not a "mall" kind of guy, but when you're driving 45 miles each way on the highway then I personally prefer a better ride with better MPG. I also have a 2012 F150 FX4 Ecoboost with more aggressive A/T tires that I'd use to go off-road anyhow. I use the 4Runner for commuting / daily...

Thanks guys. I think 19" would be the ideal size, but handling is improved, highway ride is greatly improved and my MPG is up just a bit.

Same here. Had the drivers side front replaced at around 135k if I remember right.

I bought my '05 4Runner Limited 4WD over three years ago and recently it's spending more time on the highway than running down trails. I decided to switch to a larger diameter wheels with a more street type tire for a nicer highway ride. I saw a forum post in the classified section here and...

Awesome seller! Thanks for the great deal, awesome packaging and willingness to ship. Installed with new TPMS in all five wheels.

144k on my 2005 4Runner Limited 4WD V8 - bought with around 132k if I remember right. Runs and drives great. It was used for travel between states, so the front end shows pitting/chips. Since I've owned it I've done: Timing Belt Water Pump Timing Belt Tensioner Serpentine Belt Radiator...

When I bought my 05 4Runner Limited V8 4WD the front springs were shot at 130k. I replaced them with a set of FJ Cruiser coils and Bilstein shocks I got off of here. No issues after that. Now with 144k, the rear shocks could stand to be replaced.

Payment sent.

Sorry to hear that. My 2005 4Runner 4wd V8 needed a drivers side front wheel bearing. It was making a whoop, whoop, whoop noise. There was also a very noticeable tinny/tinging noise coming from the front axle. The noise would reduce if I made a gradual right turn and get worse on a gradual...

I'd get any lingering fluid changes done and top off all others. Give it a tuneup if its due, and check the hoses. On my 2005 4Runner V8 with 136k, the radiator hoses were getting a bit soft so I had them replaced when I had the timing belt done. Run a tank of fuel injector cleaner through...

I have a AWD V8 with 137k miles on it. Runs like new, idles glass smooth, good throttle response and decent power. The V8 does require a timing belt change at 90k, something to consider. Good luck!

Thanks for the input. I know cycling is normal, however when it was overcharged the cycling was excessive with poor cooling performance. I don't have another 4Runner to baseline the HVAC performance and the cycling of the compressor is higher on this vehicle than any of my past 25 I've owned...

I have a 2005 4Runner Limited V8 AWD. I have had problems with the A/C since buying the vehicle in 02/10. After limping through last summer I decided to dig into it. The system was over charged with refrigerant. So after getting that corrected and eliminating the excessively high head...

I tow a 2008 5x8 Haulmark DS2 V-Nose enclosed trailer, and empty I hardly notice it's back there. The width is only slightly more than the T4R, and it even didn't affect my MPG much at all.
