    Any quick way to access Android Auto

    I've been messing with this more recently but what I noticed is that a quick press of the voice control button brings up the car's voice control but a longer hold/press goes straight to Android auto and launches the Android auto voice control. I was able to repeat this multiple times. Give that...

    Is windshield pitting really bad on 5th gens?

    I had to replace my windshield earlier in the year with less than 5k miles and 5 months of ownership. The rock that hit it didn't even strike it that hard and I was surprised there was any damage. Been driving 20+ yrs and only the 2nd windshield i've ever had to replace and the first in almost...

    TRD Off Road vs Premium

    It's a personal choice. I love the softex and moonroof. I'm also taller and have no issues with headroom. I have a black on black so the extra light allowed in by the moonroof is a welcome. But a big part for me and why I also went with a 2020 was the smart key and push button start. Last 4...

    Convince me to buy a New 4Runner

    The difference are a bit more than leather/softex. Smart key, push button start, homelink, moonroof option, and maybe a few other convenience features. Nothing major but I use and like all of the features in the premium trim so I went that route. Just something to consider.

    Convince me to buy a New 4Runner

    4runner is a dinosaur but the good kind. I love my 2020 but If i had to do it all over again, I probably would have gotten a 2010-2015 Trail and just paid cash. The good and bad thing about used 4runners is their resale values are very strong so even a relatively clean 10yo model with 100k+...

    Body Roll and Nose Diving on Non-KDSS 4Runners?

    I have yet to experience this crazy nose dive and body roll issue on my 2020 OR. I imagine my driving style differs from those that are experiencing this. It's not a sports car by any means and rides like a tall SUV and I drive it as such. Some of the previous sporty cars i've driven for...

    Dealers not doing billed maintenance

    I think this is more common than most of us think. It happened to me as well but not at a dealer but one of those Tires Plus places that I took my old Jeep XJ to for an oil change and tire rotation about 10yrs back. I used to beat that little SUV and only did oil changes every 10-12k miles...

    2016-2020 4runner differences

    2020 Premiums also get smart key/entry and push button start in addition to the Toyota safety and infotainment upgrades. I think the non-premium trims lack the smart key and push button start. Rear passengers also get 2 USB ports on the 2020's. If none of that matters to you, then go older.

    Did you know they made a 2WD 4Runner?

    Not all that surprising in regions with dry and warmer climates. I visit Southern Cali multiple times a year and I swear most of the Tacoma's I see running around are 2wd models so I doubt the 4runner is any different. Those folks just want the look and figure they don't need to pay a premium...

    5th gen 4Runner re-Sale value after the 4Runner is re-designed in a couple years?

    Doubtful values will drop much. Look at the 2nd gen tacos vs. 3rd gens. Newer everything doesn't necessarily translate into better everything. Plus the 5th gens have a strong following and I doubt that would drop off significantly. I also don't like the trend of new vehicle pricing. You can...

    Owners in cold areas, clunk from struts?

    Only 1 full winter with my 2020. Outside of annoyingly loud squeaky brakes, Iv'e experienced no clunking thankfully. I live in MN.

    5th gen quirks and difference between years

    True on it being very expensive. Just got it done last month. OEM glass with recalibration was $1,209 through Safelite. Thankfully insurance paid for all but the $500 deductible. My previous windshield replacement 15yrs ago was in the 200's :wacko:

    Thoughts on going from a 5th gen to Tundra?

    If i go full-sized truck, I can't bring myself to go with the current Tundra. I'd go domestic instead as I think they provide a better product in this strong and competitive segment. The Tundra is just too old and the fuel economy too poor even though it is a reliable and proven platform. Maybe...

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    2020 changes saw about a $2k+ increase I think. At least on the off road premiums. I'm sure the 2021's added to that. Toyota's definitely milking the hell out of the 5th gens and people are still willing to throw down the extra $$. I think 37-38k for an off road premium (35-36k for...
