Maybe its a cynical way to look at it but it's a good marketing move by Toyota. For $45k or whatever it cost them to build that 4runner they get to be in a bunch of different news stories showing how generous they are.

I believe the Pre- 2019 Rios all have 6 speed autos. IVT came out in 2020. That would be my go to.

I would guess you could see high 20's with a little more stop and go. Impressive for a pretty big AWD vehicle.

Man I love bright white with red leather interior. What do you expect to see for real world MPG with the hybrid?

You're clearly being over-dramatic. How many of these vehicles are out there vs how many have had any fluid changes at all? It's good to do proper maintenance but lets keep this on planet earth.

Up here that things is worth $7500 easy. No many clean low mile ones left. People lose their minds for any vehicle that's from out of state.

The biggest problem with this "debate" is that everyone only knows 1 outcome. I broke in my car X way and now it performs Y. We don't know how the car otherwise would have performed if break in was done differently. And there's no way to replicate it since other people even with the exact same...

How much do you care about your warranty? Or to put it another way, how likely do you think it is that CVT will need warranty work done on it? Pretty easy warranty denial if you haven't followed the specced interval. At that point it wont matter what a bunch of people on a forum think.

I do the same commute and change every 5k. No worries at all from me.

Well my wife purchased and paid off her car with her own money so I'm not about to tell her she has to walk to work. Especially considering it was -26F this morning. Electric cars are to expensive to be worth it for her at this point. The only problems I expect to have are potentially...

My wife has a 0.7 mile commute so she gets changes every spring and fall. end's up being around 3250 miles. Almost all her miles are short trips and it gets pretty darn cold here so to combat moisture and fuel dilution it makes sense to me to change early. Plus this schedule allows me to avoid...

Until something actually fails I think you'll have a really tough time getting the dealer to do anything at all. So you're in an unfortunate Position where you'll always think you're at risk of engine failure but really don't know. The engine could be totally fine but every little noise it makes...

A premium budget oil? Kind of a strange place in the market to be. ST synthetic makes total sense but this seems like a stretch. Who will buy it? Someone looking for the cheapest syn buys ST synthetic. Someone looking for perceived longevity buys a big brand name.

Are you remote starting and idling it more in winter?

2015 Honda PCX 150. I consistently got 108mpg and the thing did everything I wanted it to. Always ran like a top no matter how hard you pushed it. Pulled smooth and had really predictable handling. Too bad Honda ruined it with the 2000 mile valve adjustments requiring almost the entire plastic...

Just shoot it with fluid film if you don't want to do the work. Better than doing nothing, but not as good as removing and treating it properly.

I'm concerned how little talk there is about charging infrastructure when we hear about all these EV manufacturing commitments.

I really hate that steering wheel.

Curious she drives a truck all those miles. Imagine the cost savings if you drove a prius or corolla hybrid. But who knows, maybe she needs the carrying capacity.

It makes me chuckle when you guys from the south talk about it being cold and the car needing to warm up before driving.
