The 4 Runner was sold for two reasons:
1 The bottom is dropping out as far as resale. Just look around.
2.Toyota's inability to resolve a minor problem like belt noise.
3. Lousy back support and seats. The worst I have ever had.
Yes I know the Touareg will have problems the first year. But...
I never carry a wallet, just a license and Credit Card. Good the V6 because I liked the part time 4wheel drive. I could feel the difference in the two.Also the market on these have really dropped. Loaded to the max limited runners are going though the auction with less than 5K for 27-28,000.. I...
Well, As you all know Toyota gave me a new 4 Runner a few months back because of the belt problem on the V6's. Just sold the 2nd one it was still making noise after two more fixes and the set was killing my back.
Bought a V8 T-Reg (VW) Let me tell you waht a SUV. The first group had a few minor...
Lemon Law
Yes you can do Lemon Law. First you need to know how. My 2003 went back because of a cog belt noise. I now have a perfect 2003> no problems. Lemon Law is very easy, just read up on it and don't go to arbitration!
Sound when hit bump
Your in luck I finally found out what that noise is!. The noise everyone is hearing is the lock pins in the rear seats. Put the rear seats down, take a piece of electrical tape and rap it around the hinge that the seat latchs to. Only go about two to three raps. Do this on...
V6 vs V8
Had a problem with the drive belt. The tentioner and belt has been replaced but the belt is still whinning when first statred and when driving at times.
I have a 2003 Toyota V6 that is going back to Toyota. Looking at a V8 because I love the product and how Toyota handled my problem. How have the V8's been? Any problems? How many have looked at the V6 and took a V8 and if so why?
Thanks in advance

FYI,
If this belt breaks while you are driving PARK THE TRUCK. This is a drive belt. If it is making noise there is a good shot that it can break, that's why it's making the noise in the first place.

That's what is nice about Md. We have a good Lemon Law. As we speak the letter has been sent in to Toyota. I was a new car dealer ( Partner) for 20 years. I don't lose Lemon Law cases. If toyota fights you in Md and you can prove bad faith it will really cost them. It's a shame we...

This is a bearing noice when you first start it in the morning after sitting.Toyota knows about this problem but has not come out with a fix. They replaced a belt, then a tentioner and it still makes the noice. This is a problem because it is a tentioner running dry, a drive belt...
