This is not the same as the maximum speed in gear. It is always lower, but different Transmissions set different limits. Does anyone know the values for the 2006 4Runner?
TIA.
I'm wondering why the owners manual recommends keeping the spare tire only on the right side of the vehicle with each rotation? I'm used to the "full" 5 tire rotation with all previous vehicles.
Thanks!
I'd rather the V6 with the price of gas, but need some advice/help?
No - I will never tow with this ride.
Comments on the V6 vs. the V8 - I do a lot of highway driving!!
I have the V8. In strictly city driving, suburban hills, NYC traffic, averaging about 30 MPH I get about 17MPG on regular gas. On a recent long highway trip I got 20.8 MPG averaging about 58 MPH. Both numbers are according to the trip computer which is about 5% optimistic. The V8 also has great passing power.
Thanks,
Charlie

To those ends, we will be shutting down the general make/model discussions and work exclusively with specific issues. This requires us to populate the make/model subsections with relevant, interesting and timely topics. Rather than having the hosts simply create boilerplate topics for each make/model, we feel that you, the owner, the make/model enthusiast and the prospective buyer can best judge what those topics should be.
You can help by adding a discussion (it's easy!) or suggesting one here.
To add a discussion, click on the last link in the "You are here" line at the top of this page. That will take you to the topic page for this make/model. Review the list of topics and click on the "Add discussion" link when you've decided what topic you'd like to add. Follow the directions and you're done! Feel free to add more than one. Just avoid duplicating existing topics and try not to make it TOO specific!
Your help and continued participation in the Forums is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Toyota 4Runner
tidester, host
Thanks, Bill
The Highlander and Sequoia will be redesigned first (The Highlander came out in 2001 and has yet to be redesigned.)
Buy the 4Runner now. It's a great truck. Rumors are that the next 4Runner might be assembled at the new Texas plant.
2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)
Does anyone have any photo's of the Westin or other brusk guards installed. I am interested in phot's under the call to see how it is installed???

My husband and I are stumped right now with our insurance company. They're giving us a hard time with the key of our 4Runner which was stolen a few months back. We were interrogared by a lawyer yesterday and this key issue was the one of the major questions that was drilled on us.
I was the first one in the room (my husband waited outside) and I was asked if at anytime when we used our truck if I tried to manually lock or unlock the truck with our key. I told them that I tried only once, when the battery on the alarm went dead and couldn't set the alarm on the truck. I tried to manually lock the vehicle but it wouldn't lock, it was only turning halfway and the lock "button" on the door panel wouldn't go down. Since then I never tried to manually lock/unlock with the key. I assumed that it wouldn't work since it had an alarm.
The issue was that the lawyer said an insurance adjustor looked at our vehicle to assess the damage (it was recovered but it was burned) and said that the key didn't work when he was trying to open the back (5th) door. Our insurance adjustor said we sent them the wrong key. One of my friends said why don't they call a toyota dealer, give them my vehicle's vin# and have a duplicate made and compare the 2 together. I didn't say this to the lawyer already, he might give me a harder time with questions thinking that I know too much.
Does any of you know if this is possible? We didn't know what to answer because we don't know if this was possible or not. Does the doors need a separate key to manually open/close it? Or was there a malfunction on the way the alarm was set to prevent manual open/close on the doors?
If by chance any of you can try on your 4runners to see if your key that you use to start the ignition will work or will not work in manually locking/unlocking the door? I appreciate your comments so that we can get a peace of mind here.
Thanks much!
I am no expert, but it sounds like at some time your door locka were changed. This happened to me once when the door lock was broken. The locksmith installed new locks in the door but gave me a new key for it also. But when they did this, they also rekeyed the ignition so one keyed worked everything except the glove box.
It sounds strange that your keys would not manually open and lock the doors.
We basically just used the key to start the ignition. We always used the alarm to open/lock the doors.
im confused...any correct answers. thanks in advance
I guess whomever is running this site is note interested anymore.
Don't forget the rest of the Toyota 4Runner group either.
Just curious, what generation is the 2000 model???
