No more Tacoma

Tacomaworld is one of the best forum I've been on. All the member here is great. I'll be sticking around. I hope to get back in a Tacoma soon. Now the new ride is a Brand new 2013 4runner trail edition. It's no Tacoma but it's one bad SUV I'll tell that much.

Thanks

 

Nice. Drove my girl's mom's 04 Runner this morning. Exact same KM as my taco. 133000. Solid as a rock.

 

That is what I would get if I get rid of my Tacoma or a FJ, I really like those too. Congrats on the new ride, love the color too!

 

If I didn't need a truck, I'd have one of those.

 

Thanks

I'm going to miss having a truck bed.

 

This is my first 4WD truck I'm hoping some can help me out on how to use the transfer case. I got the trail edition and it's the one with the lever. You can shift it to H2, H4, N and L4. From what is got from the owner's manual you can engage H4 as long as you're under 50mph. So I'm guessing its shift on the fly. So I can engage and disengage anytime under 50mph right? And for L4 do I put the drive gear and transfer case gear in Neutral before putting it L4 and D?

 

Well when I first read the thread title I was going to say OK cool story since I thought it was another I got a Chevy or ram thread. But since it was a 4runner I have to say congrats man its a sweet looking rig

 

make sure you play with that toyota CRAWL feature...

 

Old school the lever. Wish my taco had one

 

When in 4lo does it matter what drive gear your in? Like does it have the be in a lower gear or D is fine?

 

What ever the terain calls for speed wise, or wheel speed wise.

 

D is fine, but you will probably find you want to control the shifting and pick a gear.

Like said already, don't use either 4hi or 4lo on pavement or the like.

 

Me too!

 

Is the lever actually linked or is it like an auto transmission and won't shift unless safe?

 

definitely not a trade down here Love this year 4runner and trail edition.

 

Is it really bad to engage 4h when driving straight at recommended speed? I'm trying to figure the best possible way to get in the 10 miles each month in 4wd to keep gear lubricated.

 

Congrats on the SR5! I'd be driving that vehicle too if I didn't find the open bed cargo area so useful.
