What's your favorite feature?

Does anyone know if the ECO light can be turned off?? I remember renting a car with an ECO light and I was able to turn it off. Anyone know if it's possible in the 4runner??

Page 187 in the Owners Manual:

"Eco Driving Indicator Light can be switched on or off by pressing and holding the display change button."
 
Here's a new one... I LOVE the staggered cup holders. When I test drove the truck and briefly examined the console I thought it was weird not having the usual side by side arrangement. This layout is far superior though.

Good one, that definitely helps when it comes to fighting over who gets which middle cup holder... I also love the fact that the cup holders have those little removeable rubber inserts to make room for the big drinks. My old tacoma just had the little cup holders so it's nice that I can buy jumbo water bottles now.
 
I got few favourite features, it's steering wheel, rear window and heated windshiedls wipers. Other things proved to be nice are USB port, Bluethooth and rear camera. SR5 got some other nice features, but I had it my previous vehicle, so sort of consider them standard for everybody :)

Oh and question above - you can turn off ECO light by pressing odometer button (stick?) unless you see "ECO on" when mileage displayed. Then press button again and hold it unless you see "ECO off". It's in the manual by the way and somewhere in this forum there is even picture of this button if I described it not very clear:)
 
For me, it's the "touch to unlock" door handles and the push button start on my limited. First vehicle I've had with that. I also like how the vehicle senses the fob and turns on my puddle lamps, interior lamps and such. It's really sic.
 
My favorite feature = KDSS

I can take curves quick on road and I get almost no body roll, I also get maximum articulation off road so KDSS = Awesomeness!!

Resetting the Yaw rate sensor definitely unleashed the beast in regards to cornering. Having KDSS was worthless when my VSC was kicking on in almost every single curve.
 
new favorite feature as of last night.

so i was driving to phx and back (4hrs) and it was 230 am, i had to work at 8, and my tire pressure light came on and i was like whaaaaat? so i pulled over, sure enough i had a hole in my tire pouring out air.

if it wasn't for the tpms, i probably wouldn't have known it was going flat and who knows what could've happened.

thus. my favorite feature of the week.
 
The 4 wheel drive in my 2011 SR5 is pretty awesome. I like being able to shift it and feel it engage, call me old fashioned, I'm sure some like being able to push a button, but there's something to feeling it engage.

Also, the bluetooth integration is sweet.

how do you reset the yaw rate sensor? is that something that we can do or do we have to take it to the dealer?
 
This is my first 4R and I absolutely love this truck. I have owned it for almost 4 weeks now and I still feel the same way I did when I first got in it. I love the fact that it doesn't have a lot of buttons and options and things that can go wrong, it has a rugger feel to it and I feel very confident behind the wheel. I LOVE my 4R.
 
I haven't liked a vehicle this much since my first GTI. Every time I take something apart on it, I'm amazed at the quality and attention to detail. It's built to last!
 
Aside from the obvious; Nav, backup camera, Smart Key System... I gotta say that I'm in love with the sound system. My last ride was a 2007 V8 SR5 and it had a JBL system... it was ehh. My FJ before that had the OEM sub and flat ceiling speakers but the 9 speaker system in my 2011 LE...is stanky!!

The rims are an upgrade as well. I'm not at all a fan of 20" chrome rims but these 20" OEMs are lovely.

The huge control knobs.

The moonroof.

That little LED light on the overhead console that (I don't know what it's for)lets me quickly read or see things without turning on a light. You'll find it... it's always on.

The Bluetooth features are crucial!!

Heated front seats and adjustable/reclining ones in the back.

A third row when I need it.
 
Streaming bluetooth music from Pandora or my little boys watching movies on their iPads with sound streaming on the radio w/ bluetooth.

We had a power outage at the house yesterday. I ran extension cords from the Runner and our Rav4 to power lights, cable modem-wireless router, TV.

Neighbors wanted to know why we had lights:confused::shrug:
