New 4runer

[nelson4568]

hey everyone, Ive been a long time member of the toyota family. Had an 08 fj cruiser that I traded in for an f150. Just got rid of the ford a few days ago and picked up this beauty.

Had a quick question though. The 4runner runs effortlessly, the only problem is after a cold start when I put the car into reverse, and reverse only, there seems to be a vibration/knock coming from the engine bay which lasts for only about 5 seconds max. Anyone else have a problem like this, or something similar?

I know the engine tick is a common 4.0 noise because I have an 08 4runner, but this is more of a knocking sound

Thanks guys. And I look forward to meeting the new community

Welcome!

I just picked up a black ltd a couple weeks ago myself, and couldn't be happier.

thanks, nice to meet you. Im familiar with the ticking because I have the sea engine in my 08 4runner but this was a rattling/knocking sound. I think its the engine cover or the skid plate cover for the oil draining bolt. I took them off and will wait till tomorrow morning on start up to see if the sound persists

Thanks again!
