When I decided to test drive both the Hybrid and non Hybrid from fresh off the truck, I was told I had to wait about an hour for the Hybrid to be prepped. I was told service had to go through it and prep the Hybrids before it was clear to drive…..

As I was waiting to get on the freeway I heard a thump like the vehicle shifted out of gear. Luckily we were in traffic and crawling and the Toyota dealership was 3 exits up when I hit 30 mph my rpm's were at 4000. Waiting to hear today. My platinum only has 1600 miles on it.

I am waiting for my hybrid. I owned my Limited since new in 1997. The car was bulletproof and reliable now this has me worried. I had a Jeep before my 4Runner and it was in the shop every 3 weeks. I should had waited a year with this new engine but I had planned for a long time to buy a new 4Runner. I am getting a Limited hybrid. Did Toyota test these new engines out?

Their not an entirely new engine, just new to the Runner and Taco lineup. I believe they've been run in the Lexus line.

I had the Hybrid System Malfunction code come up on my 2024 Tacoma Trailhunter with less than a thousand miles. Toyota ended up replacing the Transmission, Torque Converter and Hybrid battery. They ended up doing a recall on certain Vin numbers. Hopefully this isn't happening on the Hybrids 4Runner. The good news is the truck was only in the shop for a couple of days and now hitting 10,000 miles without any problems.
