Observations after 500 miles

its usually the air injector system, low hum noise of a motor.

side effect, if you dont drive your vehicle for a week or two, it will drain your battery

Really? It'll drain the battery after sitting a week or 2? I WFH so it's not unusual that I don't start my cars a week or 2 and use my wife's car, or going on 4-week vacation...

the parasitic drain from modern cars will drain it regardless, this just speeds it up since it cycles for about 5-10 mins, not really sure how long since i dont sit there and time it when i hear it running in the garage randomly at night on my 2014 4R

It cycles from time to time and not just once after shut off? What exactly is the purpose? My 4th Gen 4R doesn't do it.

5th gen they introduced an air injection system that will run after about 5hr after last ignition on. not sure if cycle every 5 hrs or what, its never gone into detail in the owners manual

 

[Nodak]

to clarify, its the fuel evaporation system doing a check after about 4-5 hrs.

also to add, this is why you dont keep filling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off. otherwise you will destroy the charcoal canister

EVAP system, a small air pump pumps the vapors above the liquid in the gas tank through an activated carbon filter. It has to do with emissions, but a big benefit is not having gasoline fumes in your garage. This system can be ruined if you overfill the gas tank too, so make sure that you don't keep filling after the hose shuts off when you're at the gas station.

It definitely won't drain down after a week. Cars sit on the lot for well over a week and don't have dead batteries. The toyota official TSB for long term storage calls out something like 1/month starting.

i guess i should have added an asterisk to my post *

colder climates will burn thru your battery faster than warmer climates. i know if i dont drive my 4R after like 4-5 days in -30F temps it wont start so on sunday i put a trickle charger on it all day sunday so i dont have to fight at 5am on monday to start mine to goto work

Overall I love it. It's too early to tell a lot of things, but it drives great, it's comfortable, and visibility is good. I miss having more room in my Ram 1500 crew cab, but that's probably a weird comparison for most people. I had a 4th Gen limited that felt a little higher quality with its leather interior, but this one is probably going to be easier to maintain (the interior, not mechanical operation). It's also easier to drive around in tight situations because of it's size, relatively elevated view, and the 360 camera system. There's just a lot of little details that add up. The downside is that there's also more complex systems that can break eventually, but that's trade-off you have to consider with most new vehicles.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Is yours "TRD Offroad Premium"? If yes, I thought the 360 camera is not available? (https://www.4runner6g.com/forum/thr...en-colors-interiors-accessories-options.1858/)

Or is the table incorrect?
Thanks!

Multi-terrain Monitor (MTM) w/ selectable front, side or rear views is the 360 view.

Thanks. I think MTM is different than "360 panoramic view" which offers a top view of the truck. Of course MTM is better offroad.

When I first hit the camera button it gives the 360 top view of the truck.

Also shows this view in park.

Awesome! Thank you for the pics! Appreciate it very much! They were listed as 2 different options (MTM and 360) on the list and I wasn't sure the differences!

I have an off-road premium (ORP) and it has a 360 degree camera view with all sorts of camera selection options.

Edit: I just noticed that others already responded to this. Just to add, here's a pic I took earlier today with the default off-road camera views while moving forward...

i have yet to figure out why toyota has this view. its the most useless view on any car i have ever seen in my opinion.

the top down view i get, but this 360 in park? no dam clue why
