    Great Video! Thank you for posting... I just ordered my 2023 TRD Premium and I'm super excited. I've been wanting this vehicle for a long time and now that I don't have 3 littles to tote around, I can finally make it happen! My husband and I love camping and now we are hoping to get into more overlanding type of trips. Excited to see everything you do with your 4Runner - I need the idea's lol All the best to you and your family!

    Great content. If I could change ONE thing about the 4Runner it would be to give it a larger gas tank. 24 gallons just doesn't cut it in my opinion. I waited until Toyota offered a 38 gallon tank in the Tundra (26 is standard) before I bought one. SO glad I have the larger tank. I can easily drive 600 miles highway on a tank when I'm not towing. When towing, getting 9 mpg, I can still go 300+ miles on a tank. Anyway, I still love the 4Runner. Great choice for an overlander.

    My 2023 4runner remote starts no problem. You need to push the lock button 3x at the SAME intervals and it will start. If you are too fast or too slow between the 3x when pressing then I will just flash and not start.
    The timing of the press is the key.
    I find that 3x in 1 second intervals works perfect almost every time.
    It is quirky at the start....but once you get the hang of it...its no problem. Also the app to connect to your car is free and you can start you 4runner from your phone if out of range for the remote and also monitor windows open or closed, tire pressure etc.

    You are absolutely correct on the remote start. I have a 2022 TRD ORP and the dealership advertised it with remote start. When I picked it up, the salesman tried to demonstrate how to start it remotely and the lights went through the blinking and nothing. I took delivery anyway and planned to bring it back to get that sorted out. When I got home I played with it some more and then got on-line and did some digging. Then called Toyota Motors and gave them my VIN and they confirmed no remote start on my VIN. They also said if it had remote it would clearly indicate on the window sticker, which it did not. The dealer was incorrect in the internet advertisement.

    Just pull off the valances, do a light sanding, and spray painted a flat black or the plaster dip. That way you can do it really cheap, it can probably takes longer for the paint to dry than anything else, as well as any sort of complications.

    I’d say take it to Toyota if not, or trouble shoot, should have 1 next week or so, I’ll try myself I guess.
    Your vehicle is low on fuel.
    The hood on your 4Runner is not fully closed.
    One or more of the vehicle doors are open, make sure they are securely closed.
    The transmission is not in park mode (P).
    The 12v battery voltage has gone too low.
    The service engine light is turned on in the instrument cluster.
    Your Toyota 4Runner may not have the remote start feature. Get your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer to confirm if it is equipped with a remote start system.

    Owning both a Limited and OR Premium, Toyota should not hold back the remote start and the “auto” climate control from OR Premium owners. Also, I believe the front facing camera is an option of the OR Premium if you look at your build sheet and only is active when in 4 wheel drive. And as for the factory remote start is near useless because the truck turns off when you unlock the truck with the remote or open the door and you are forced to immediately manually start it again. So frustrating
