There's quite a bit of inventory, visit CarGurus.com and search nationwide - there are over 4500 results found from model years 2019 to 2022. Then start calling. (edit) Looks like all models are available somewhere. That's how I found my current 4Runner, though I was lucky I bought mine right...

I try really hard to wear my winter set and my summer set out every 4 years so I can achieve optimal performance out of each set. If you go beyond 6 years for a set of tires, you're seriously pushing your luck regardless of the miles on them. New tires are cheap insurance so just replace them.

Not all single garage stalls measure the same dimensions and the same goes with two stall garages. The house I just sold had the double and the single separated by a load bearing wall and getting two vehicles into the double using backwards/forwards/split was always a nightmare and the single...

I bought my 4Runner to haul shit and transport a ton of shit from point A to point B and in doing so I am averaging in the very low 14 MPGs pulling a 6x12 ft trailer loaded to 4000+ pounds with the 4Runner cargo capacity with another 500-1000 pounds. YMMV, I'm happy with the above

Bought a 6'W x 12'L x 6'6"H (internal dimensions) trailer (4K GVWR) and started moving hundreds of miles across state boundaries to a new residence - still way cheaper than the full service moving company quotes I got. The 4Runner pulls it just fine over the hilly terrain, but my long term MPG...

Sorry - should have updated the title when these sold, not a few days later... I have a box of 20 OEM Toyota 04152 YZZA4 oil filters for (according to parts.toyota.com): 2008-2020 Land Cruiser 2008-2020 Sequoia 2007-2020 Tundra Each box contains what this page shows 2007-2020 Toyota Oil...

I've used a Wiggy's sleeping bag for decades and it's kept me alive in more conditions than I expected to experience. Wiggy's – The World's BEST Sleeping Bags, Outdoor Gear & Clothing My bag is a dual bag similar to these: -20 Degree F (-60o FTRSS) Rated Ultima Thule Sleeping Bags by Wiggy's...

What verified plug-and-play part numbers need correcting? Send me a PM with the verified working thread link and I'll make the edit. I certainly may have missed something in the nearly 400 posts to this thread.

TL;DR Summary data table and key thus far from this thread. Note: Many who responded that the simple sensor replacement worked did not offer what vehicle it worked in and that is not shown Some clarified CA spec or US spec and that is shown there were conflicting responses regarding SR5Ps I...

Old thread, but OK... Income level doesn't matter one iota. What you do with (how you allocate) your income is what it's all about. I personally know DINKs (Double Income No Kids) making $400K/yr that are so cash poor and broke that a small disturbance in their cash flow can cause major panic...

In Nov 2019, this was my OTD price on a TRD ORP with KDSS and Moonroof. ... Mileage: 10 ... Vehicle Price (MSRP): $43,340.00 Rebate: $1,250.00 Customer Discount: $3,293.00 Subtotal: $38,797.00 Estimated Fees: $636.20 (Tax, Title, Licensing, Documentation, Delivery, Handling, etc...) Estimated...

83Mule - Not obsessing, just pointing out how to find actual data for differences between oils when a question like the OP asked is asked. Toyota merely recommends TGMO or equivalent ILSAC GF-5 0W-20 (except for Puerto Rico). ElectroBoy - Correct, and also vice versa. A post on the BITOG...

Indeed. Thanks for that comment ElectroBoy The API SN PLUS classification licensing started May 1, 2018 and the BITOG test on their website (as of today) shows they purchased the Toyota OEM (API SN) oil on 1/24/2018, so the test is now 2 formulations old (API SN -> API SN PLUS -> API SP/ILSAC...

I'll chime in to agree that it's most likely caused by having the parking brake applied while it sat and the brakes have seized to the rotors. Same thing can happen if you use your parking brake in winter - brakes could freeze to rotors. Might could try putting it in 4-Lo (+diff lock) and try...
