Things you did not know about your 4runner

[el_kab0ng]

Kleenex Juniors were my wife's first purchase for our 13 T4R SR5. Our Walmart doesn't carry them anymore so she ordered a case from Amazon. We'll be stocking Kleenex for awhile now. If only I can convince her to add some less family-oriented mods...

Yeah.. like a set of these for your mudflaps!

Or for a more realistic version (totally not saying your wife is fat by any means, but this sort of stuff cracks me up):

This thread is awesome! I just picked my '16 Trail up yesterday and haven't had a chance to drive it since I put it on jack stands already but the amount I've learned about from here is great. Saves me time looking over everything to figure it out

Didn't know rolling the rear window down to clear some snow would shut the window heater off - which in turn also shuts the mirror heaters off.

Open all four doors on 2016 Limited

Car from dealer with smart key system only unlocked driver door with key in pocket. Other doors had to be unlocked manually (button on the inside of the door). To unlock all 4 doors with a touch of the driver door handle, walk up to car, hold both the lock and unlock buttons down together. After about 5 to 10 secs you'll hear two rapid beeps and after a sec or two two more rapid beeps. 4Runner now will unlock all 4 doors simultaneously when you touch the handle of the driver door.

Didn't know that after trial period I cancelled satellite radio. They hound you by phone and mail. It's rediculous. How do you get them to stop already. I don't want the service.

I am going to go and see if I have a "Party Mode" switch. This is something new to me!

I keep getting these messages and mail-outs too. Occasionally they turn the sat radio back on for two weeks but I am not interested in it. I am a talk radio listener mostly.

I drive with the rear headrests down too. It is embarrassing when a passenger gets in the back seat and I forget to put the headrest up!

I blocked their number and added them to my auto-reject lost on my smart phone. Eventually they stopped but I can't remember how long it took. I still get mailers every now and then.

I'm gonna have to try that. Thanks.

First post here. Just joined. I have a 2016 Trail and the first power driver seat has a couple mm play back and forth. Is this normal on the 5th gen 4Runners or is my seat track bad? There's no play full forward or aft, but it's there everywhere in between. After a while of driving it's better, but the minute you move the seat again it's back. Thanks.

My son cut the audio wires from his satellite radio and put in a jack for his phone to play music through the car audio system. He keeps telling the reps they can not turn it back on, the wires have been removed. They do not understand and keep calling.

The non-3rd-row 4Runners have 3rd row airbags... :shrug:

Poke it a bit to make sure it isn't the automatic flotation system which deploys during the deep water fordings.

Mention that you will complain about harassment to the file complaints with the FCC until they stop. That usually shuts em up and gets you taken off their lists.

And if they call back i would follow through with the complaint at https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us and then add them to the auto-reject list.

hope that helps. That typically helps me with the spammers, and if it doesnt auto-reject comes next.

:hippie:

I rarely drive at night and just noticed there are lights in the door handle on the inside. I guess the times I do drive at night I jump in and go opposed to sitting like this evening. They did turn off when put in gear.

what model I tried looking couldn't figure it out. 16 TE

They hound you even more after you do sign up trying to get you to buy more useless crap from them!

The DRL's don't come on until you release the parking brake.
