It's stil a Toyota though.  :D  And yes, like ford, they'll charge the largest sticker possible and the general population will snap them up.   :cheers:

Don't forget how the owners will go out of their way to tell you how much better any 'yota is than everything else out there.   :D I guess that is the only way they can justify extra $$$ they spent. :cheers:

Are they supposed to be out yet? Some guy at my school got dropped off in one today. It looked like the "cheaper" (sport model??) because of all the lower plastic trim and the hood.

My wife is in the market for an SUV and I can't believe the prices on the 4 runners

If you are shopping for an inexpensive midsize you can't beat the Montero Sport.

 

Just under $23K MSRP

 

Body on frame construction

 

All the expected aminities (power everything, CD, etc...)

 

Decent fuel economy: 18 city / 22 hwy

 

The reason it is so inexpensive is because Mitsubishi doesn't put a bunch of trim and crap on the base models, it's not loaded with the latest technology (you won't find DVD navigation or anything) and it doesn't quite match up to the others in power (only 160 HP from a 3.0 V6, but a 3.5 V6 with about 200 HP is available on the XLS and higher models which start at about $27K).

I stopped by the local Toyota dealer this past Sunday.  They had a Sequoia and 4Runner parked next to each other.  The 4Runner is now available with the V8 from the Tundra.  The Sequoia is built on the Tundra platform.  The 4Runner appears almost the same size as the Sequoia.

 

I wonder how long both will last?  I can't imagine Toyota will cancel the 4Runner name.  So, I wonder how long the Sequoia will last?

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?

      Brake Bleeding Procedure on 2026 Silverado 2500

      By davester · Posted

      subscribe to alldata.com, that will have gm's brake bleeding procedure.  and what you have to do likely varies, as if you just replaced a caliper and the MC didn't go dry, you most likely can just do a normal bleed on that corner, but if you disconnected lines at the MC or the abs unit, or let the MC run dry while doing work, you'll have to do a more extensive/complicated bleeding procedure.
