I hope you are right but my buddy tells me otherwise. He say they drive on some other factory mode. Kind of like the TV has showroom mode for display and home mode when they actually sell the TV. I will ask him exactly what he does.
Quite possible. My buddy works at the port and he is also one of the guys who installs this roof rails and rock sliders. He told me it is very common to have couple hundred kms on the odometer but they also have a way to do a factory reset before it gets loaded on the truck. That pissed me off...
Maybe but our hybrid max engine does not run for 20 hours idling. Engine shuts down after few mins and battery is running all the systems. Having said that there is still that possibility of port mechanics keeping the engine running on other cars for that long. If you run any piston engine for...
Simple guide for someone who does not have the knowledge of what it takes to break in the engine. Let it Rev through all it's rpm but don't hold it at same rpm for too long. You dint need 1000 miles to break in. If done correctly you could be done with break in period in 200 miles at the most...
I'm afraid I have to disagree. Does not sit idling at the port for 20 hours. If you do that to any piston engine, you have ruined itโjust a matter of time. Furthermore, read up on bedding in procedure. Thirty-five years in piston and jet engine maintenance and overhaul here, plus not retired...
Tell your dealership you have a trade in. Do the deal and tell them you changed your mind for trade-in. I heard you can get on top of the list if you have trade in.
Remote start is critical no matwhat climate you stay in. You have a turbo that needs oil and ambient temperature does not matter because your oil is still cold. Yes it will warm up faster but you still need to warm the oil for it to flow. Oil not only lubricates but also cools yours engine down...
My LX 470 used to knock with 87 octane going steep uphill. Very much audible. Sounds like a diesel engine. If you have ever run the engine without the valve cover on and hear the tappets making sound. Moment I put in premium gas noise disappeared.
Two FE at the dealership both with paddle shifts. So Canadian models have them and I believe US market no paddle shift on fe. Rest of the tech is all there as FE
Yes I tried them during test drive. Works great for gearing down. Impressed with the tech. Of course coming from model Y it's extremely slow, but way faster than 5th gen 4runner.
