Observations after 2,000 miles

[bruce]

Left our home in central FL to take delivery of this OR-TRD-Premium 4R in Louisville, KY. In SW PA now, 344 miles on the ODO. Most driving xpwy's, avg 22.9 mpg. Driving in the 68-72 mph on clear road. Handles well, the Falkens are OK, except I will go to the Michelin dealer when back home for the LTX/MS2's.
As far as the 4 cyl., no issues, no fluttering.
Max speeds when passing 82 mph, normal driving 65-77.
Mfg. Date : 1/2025.

I was thinking of getting ltx ms2’s as well. My 25 sr5 has the yoko geolander and it rides like it’s on wagon wheels. I’ve heard good things about the Michelin, what’s your experience and would they make that much of a difference?

my 2004 had Cross Terrains stock and I replaced with 3 sets of LTX's. They ride nice and have pretty good traction dry/wet/snow. They aren't mud tires though

I’ve unboxed this hood insulator and did a test fit. I’m impressed with the fit and finish. Of course I don’t have an OEM to compare it to. It includes basic screw rivet plastic pins. I’ll put together an install video early next week. Hood insulation, underhood

Thanks for the update!

Here’s a quick install video. Overall a solid piece, especially at 1/4 the price of the OEM!
