Hello all! New owner here from the St. Louis area. We just picked up an '06 Titanium Metallic SR5 4WD V6 with 28k. We're pretty stoked that we found it and were able to jump on it. As you guys are surely aware, the search was somewhat long for the right truck. I'm not new to cars or forums and am somewhat active on the Acura Legend Forum. I do all of my own maintenance and detailing. Our other vehicles include a '95 Acura Legend Coupe which is my daily, and a '92 Accord Coupe with 373k that just became my 16 year old's car.
This is our first Toyota as we've been Honda people forever. Also my first experience with more than one drive axle. I'll be picking up some factory service manuals and maybe a fresh set of floor mats right away. I also have a couple of minor issues I need to address and will be doing so this weekend. One of which I will search here to see if it's a common problem. The rubber window seal on both rear doors is pinched/rolled in on the top edge of the windows in a couple of spots. I've tried repositioning the seal and closing the windows, but I suspect I'll have to buy new seals. The other issue is that the fuel door hinge pin is bent which causes it to be difficult to move and it rubs the body slightly when fully opened. I'm betting this is NOT a common issue and is due to the door being opened too far/forcefully.
Anyway, I'll be spending some time here getting familiar with the vehicle and hope to one day be able to contribute. Below is one of the pics from the dealership ad. Aside from the issues above, the truck is in absolutely beautiful shape inside and out. I can easily see us still owning it well after 200k.
Take Care,
Dave
