After drooling for about a month now over everyones TL my day is almost here. I'm waiting for Toyota to get my check ready so I can give them back their LEMON '03 4Runner, probably the end of this week.

Please give me a brief list of things to look for on the car before I sign and drive, like tire production code..headliner clip..etc.

Thanks

 

-vin about 35xxx i believe
-reformulated tires (new compound)
-check the bumpers and body kit parts to make sure they match the rest of the car
-take a long test drive on bumpy roads with the speakers cranking to make sure the interior doesnt vibrate anywhere
-ask if the seat memory issue has been fixed


thats all i can think of

 

Are they putting the newer tires on the newer vin's ? How can I tell if they are the newer tires ? Whats the range of vin's to avoid ?

Thanks

 

im not exactly sure

but any vin over 40xxx should be fine if i recall correctly

and just incase you didnt know. the 5 numbers at the end of the VIN are what you look at.

 

For the people that got their tires replaced by the dealer what kind of tires did they replace them with ? Has anyone paid to upgrade them before taking delivery ? Sorry for all the questions, just don't want to say "Damn I should of asked "

 

Whats the latest date code on the tires ?
