My 2011 Limited 4WD needs a new suspension. The factory XREAS system is leaking, and the cost to replace is several thousand dollars. I have searched this and other forums, and just cannot figure out what suspension would be a good replacement. I do not really want to go with a big lift...

I went through all this a about 4 months past. I went with the OW 2.5 set up, with heavier rear springs. I am so glad I did. It rides great, drives great, and if I had not put 285 Duratracs on there, I would be wishing I had. Get some sliders, some skids, and you can add front and rear...

I have a 5th Gen Limited, and it has had lumbar crunching and movement from the beginning. After reading this thread, I went to local dealer for 10K service and explained issue. They were not familiar with the issue, but after checking with Toyota, they agreed to replace the entire seat back...

I have Limited 5th Gen, and with 10K miles. My seat lumbar support cracks and moves and pops a lot. I explained this to the dealer last week at my 10K service, and they seemed to take the concern very seriously. The ordered a whole new set of internal seat back parts, and are farming out the...

I wish they would install a good V8 engine and an Ipad and be done with it! V8

No one else mentioned it, and everyone was thinking it, LMT 556, that is a nice rifle. Toyota should cross market with Sig and do a Sig Trail Edition! V8

I was critical of the NAV, but I really like the 2011 version. It seems accurate and has been very useful. The interface is no Apple iPad, but its one of the better ones available. I have been very pleased with the whole system, except the voice command sequence is lacking. Someone needs to...

4Runner sales are up 2.4 % from march 2010 to march 2011, and up 17 % year to date over 2010. Toyota USA Newsroom | March 2011 Sales Chart V8

A friend sold me my 5th Gen, and he said the smell you smell for the 1st 25 miles or so is the rust proofing that is sprayed under them at the port of entry and is burning off the engine parts that got oversprayed. i would not buy extra rust proofing. Seems like a rip off, but perhaps Northern...

JB, its not exactly headroom - its more like cabin size and cabin openness. There also feels like more room on the left and right when you are in the truck. The windshield also seems much larger but I think it is the angle. It has a build date of 02/2011 if anyone is interested in that stuff...

Torsen diff fulltime AWD for the win! Smart key is so great +100! It is wierd to walk up to your car at it lights up and unlocks for you. Startling at first! V8

I did not know about brake assist, but I think it kept me out of a rear-ender this morning on a wet, windy road! V8

Hi all, I have had a 4th Gen V8 for a long time, and it has been a great vehicle. The best I have owned - until now. I delayed getting a new vehicle for the last year or two hoping a 5th Gen 4Runner with a V8 would be offered. I have also been a critic of the Nav system, 20 inch wheels and the...

Why are you concerned about paying taxes in 2 states? That is not how it works. Contact your state DMV and the other state's DMV and they will explain to you that either you will pay no sales tax in the state or purchase (but yo uwill pay sales tax in state of registration), or you will pay...

I hope things do not get so bad that production stops in Japan, that is almost inconceivable. I think it is fair to add that while buying American is great, the concept of buying quality Japanese products to support their economy seems like a worthwhile plan at this point in time. Prayers to...
