    Auto start stop (ASS) in 6th gen 4Runner?

    I am not sure about the warranty. I just know Tacoma truck buyers have been using it with the same engine on the new 4Runners. I read the hybrids will not have it and I will be getting a hybrid. Right now I am worried about the Tariffs and how much the 4Runners will cost us after 4/2.

    Take or pass on this 2025 4runner TRD-OFF Road Premium Hybrid. Good price?

    I saw last night on the news about the new tariffs on all imported cars. I am so upset about this. I have waited a long time for this new Limited design and now we have to deal with these ridiculous tariff's. The consumers always pay for tariffs. I sent an E-mail to my dealer about the costs...

    Take or pass on this 2025 4runner TRD-OFF Road Premium Hybrid. Good price?

    What is the tax in your state? Does this dealer charge a delivery and prep fee? Only buy the car if you really want it. Is it the color trim you wanted? The hybrid will add more power to the car. You have to go with your heart. Most of the sale prices should be about the same no matter where...

    Power lift gate concerns

    I think he is just worried about burning out the tail gate motor or damaging the tailgate itself. I had to replace the tailgate on my Gen 3 4Runner and it was very expensive. Anyone would be concerned with a new system on a new car.

    Power lift gate concerns

    I have a Hollywood Rack for my bicycles. With the bikes not on the racks the rack will fold down and the tail gate will open fine. I had a concern with the new power gate too and if there was a way to disable it. I have a Gen 3 4Runner so a power gate was never an issue. I will have to do...

    Made some mockups in Photoshop to help decide which wheels to get.

    I like the rims in picture 5 and 6. For me I am not a bronze fan. Now that's just my opinion. Go with the rims that you keep coming back to. That mean that is your first choice. The rim that makes you happy with your new 4Runner build.

    Overland Build: White Aftermarket Wheels, 35's, 2.5" Lift, RTT on Everest 2025 4Runner TRD Off-Road

    I had white rims like that for my snow tires in the 1980's when I had a Jeep Wagoneer. I was living up in Lake Tahoe. So when I see white rims it reminds me of my old Jeep.

    Auto start stop (ASS) in 6th gen 4Runner?

    I guess that prevents the car from turning off every time you lightly press the break in traffic. I for sure will install the attachment. I wonder if it affects the warranty if you install it. Does it show it on the cars computer history if you take it off before bringing it in for a service...

    Auto start stop (ASS) in 6th gen 4Runner?

    Every person I have talked to who has that feature on their brand of car does not like it. I just feel it will affect a starter over the long haul with the constant starts while daily diving.

    When I bought my 1997 Toyota 4Runner Limited new which I still daily drive I ordered my colors and the car arrived 6 weeks later ready for me to drive off the lot but those days are long gone.

    2025 4Runner ALLOCATIONS LIST Spreadsheet (Gas & Hybrid) -- MSRP vs List Price, VIN, ETA, Ship Status, Dealer Hold Status 📋

    Longo is where I am on the list to get a Limited IForce Max. I think they are the number one dealership in the country. This whole allotment thing is so confusing. You used to be able to order your 4Runner model with the exterior and interior colors you liked. That is not the case anymore...

    Auto start stop (ASS) in 6th gen 4Runner?

    Does anyone know if the Toyota Gen 6 4Runners turn off the car at every stop sign or stop light and then starts the car when you want to accelerate? I hate that. I did notice an after market part for the 2024 Tacoma's to stop the starter from turning off at every stop light. I hope the new...

    Jeep owner trading for 4Runner - need to pick trim (Off-Road Premium vs. Limited)

    I had a 1984 Jeep Wagonner before I bought my 1997 4Runner. I can't tell you how many times that car was in the shop after 60,000 miles. Let's just say many times. The motor mounts always broke along with the rear seal leaking oil all over the driveway. I still drive my 1997 Toyota 4Runner...
