    My wife’s MY16 non heated Prius wheel did that. I was convinced it was her prolific use of hand sanitizer.

      Absolutely 💯 part of the problem.

    My wife drives a 22 Sienna needless to say that it works well for our family's needs honestly i was surprised that she was able to achive the advertised mpg of 36 mpgs we drove it 1200 miles on a road trip with a cargo box on top loaded with luggage 2 dogs and 5 people i was impressed....

    Just got that maintenance required see your local dealer alert.
    It’s something with the coolant bypass. Looks it up and Toyota needs to do a recall. Only 40k miles. 2020

    Another great video.
    Btw my 2018 4Runner has peeling starting at the top of my steering wheel. I’m not sure if it’s the direct sunlight on it or what. I rarely even have my hands up there. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Maybe some Cerakote wipes on the plastic molding. Worked great on 4Runner. They get chalky so fast.

    Hey Viking, my 4Runner seat is insanely uncomfortable and I’ve tried everything beside seat replacement. Have you come across customers 4Runners with comfortable after market seats?

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před 23 dny

      Unfortunately not, I do have to agree they’re not the most comfortable.

    That’s a lot of miles ☺️ for four years. Mine minus is that there is no headroom

    Thanks for the vid! We test drove a 2021 RAV4 with 65K miles, and the steering Wheel already had wear, and the driver and passenger door panels seemed very loose and separating from the power window switch button panel 🤔. Are these generation RAVs weak on the door panels? Thank you!

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před 24 dny

      The door panel issue is very uncommon but I have seen it. I would look for a better one, they are still great vehicles

      @@VikingsGarage thank you! Hey good Sir, on my 21 4Runner with 54K miles, I noticed that at slow speeds below 10MPH the transition from 1st to 2nd gear seems to have a slight bump/ jerk, only at slow speeds though. Is this normal ?

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před 24 dny

      @4Runner21 very typical of that gear box, perfectly normal, that’s just the way it’s geared. But with that being said, don’t forget to replace the transmission fluid at 60k miles . 😉

    How is the A25A engine as far as reliability?
    Do you think it will last 300,000 miles?

    • @VikingsGarage
      @VikingsGarage  Před 23 dny +1

      It seems ok, but I’m not so sure about 300k, seen a few hybrids with 200k plus. (But you know their engines are not running the whole time) 🤷🏼‍♂️
