    It might just be the limited and the Pro but they dont advertise it anywhere in the manual. I originally thought it was a smart key feature. I just used it today.

    I dont remember seeing it anywhere on the toyota website for my Pro either. Just go try it with your key fob, thats how I figured it out.

    it will have a sticker under the hood saying equipped with remote start. It’s a factory add on that dealership may or may not choose to do to get extra money

    I believe only the 4runners with the JBL systems have remote start. My Pro has it.

    2020 is the first year it came FACTORY. "Remote connect" is what you're looking for, if it doesn't have that then no factory remote start. Remote starts have always been available thru the dealerships at purchase just like other optional upgrades. By "factory" I mean it came off the truck with it, earlier years could have a factory remote start it just wasn't put in at the factory.

    But all 2020 4runners do not have remote start built in from factory. Unless you have the dealer add it.

    Not all, just like other options but it is something that can come already built in in 2020. However if it wasn't optioned in in the factory it can be added later.

    Routed the cables through the weather stripping and down the outside of the window seal, under some trim at the hood and into the he engine bay. Got them up and running the next morning once I found s good power source for the switches in the internal fuse box. I’ll grab a picture today and post it.

    Yeah, fair enough.

    Like I said, I wasn't trying to start shit. I hadn't looked at them close enough to see "Lock" and "unlock" written on them. All I saw was an up and a down arrow.

    Did your read the terms of service. Toyota whores your data as much as google and Apple. I had mine shut off and had to jump through hoops to do so.

    The grille is from DB Customz. Great grille but limited choices with 4runner as he does more Tacoma and tundra grilles. Great quality product though, 4 years and going strong!

    Took a different route home the other day. Technically speaking I never even went offroad... but there was a sign saying the road may be impassible. I'm glad the door seals work (note the solid line of mud at the bottom of the doors). Cleaning off the mud was a pain - engine bay was a disaster.IMG_2546.jpg

    I also decided to check my brakes. The inner pads are almost gone and the outers look almost new! Anyone else get such terrible wear? I'm thinking a caliper rebuild will be in order soon.

    I wouldn't rebuild them, too rusty. Replace with remanufactured ones from NAPA or Carquest/Advance Auto since those carry Lifetime Warranty.

    I figured the outside will be rusty but the insides should be ok for a rebuild. I haven't looked at pricing any new calipers out yet but if they're cheap enough I might just go all new. I'm wondering if this is a common problem for the 4runners and if replacing with OEM parts might be a mistake.

    Edit: Called the local stealership and they want $411(CDN) per caliper!!! Rebuilding the calipers myself with parts from them would only save $140 per side. So I'm going to be looking aftermarket calipers or rebuild kits for sure.
