    I've been noticing that the guys that have 2013 and 2014 Tacomas with the V6 are noticing issues ( piston slap ). My GF is looking to replace her Explorer and was interested in the 4Runner...

    So...are you guys having the same issues as the Tacoma owners ? I'd hate to support her buying a 'Runner if that issue is the same with all 4.0 V6's.
