Hi, New member here. We bought a 2021 SR5, and have put 2k miles on it. The serpentine belt drive assembly, idler, alternator, or something is noisy at idle. It's not squealing, but noisy enough to be heard with radio on. We also get a burnt rubber smell sometimes after parking it. Is this a known problem, or has anyone else experience it ? Also, what weight oil to use? I don't like the 0-30 factory recommendation. Would 10-30 Mobil 1 be ok? Thanks!

Hello fellow 4Runners.
I am brand new to the 4Runner and to this forum.

About 3 weeks ago my 2015 Nissan Xterra pro-4x (manual transmission) got completely totaled when it was smashed while empty and parked. Let me tell you that I was extremely surprised when I returned to my car.

Long story short, I had to quickly buy a new car, and they don't make Xterras anymore, so here I am.

I picked up a 2021 TRD off-road premium.

Any tips, tricks, or suggestions for me to be on the lookout for as I age with my new 4Runner?

Any strategies for keeping her running pristine, clean, and new for years to come?

Appreciated, Thanks!

The one thing I would do if I bought a new 4R, would be to start some sort of undercoating regiment. I use fluid film on my 2007, and apply a healthy coat about twice a year. If you start early on in the life of the vehicle, you'll be able to avoid rust for quite a long time.

Is this always recommended or only in humid environments? I live in SoCal where most of the year is very dry.

Congrats! Just wash it occasionally, especially if there's any salt on it!

Bummer your xterra was totaled. I'm in Brooklyn too, looking to pick up my first 4runner.
