| Is there an advantage to buying a new 2007 limited 4runner over a new 2006 limited 4runner with similar options? The price is lower on the 2006 and it has a better interest rate (1.9 vs. 4.9.) Of course with the 2007 I could pick the exact color, etc. that I would like, but it seems like it would cost so much more for an 07. Thanks! | |

This morning I used my 91 4Runner (295K miles on it) to pull out a Hummer H2 that was stuck in a snowbank. I can elaborate if anyone is interested.

Do any of you know if there is a possibility that an ignition key on a 4runner will not work with manually opening any of its doors? My husband and I are stumped right now with our insurance company. They're giving us a hard time with the key of our 4Runner which was stolen a few months back. We were interrogared by a lawyer yesterday and this key issue was the one of the major questions that was drilled on us. I was the first one in the room (my husband waited outside) and I was asked if at anytime when we used our truck if I tried to manually lock or unlock the truck with our key. I told them that I tried only once, when the battery on the alarm went dead and couldn't set the alarm on the truck. I tried to manually lock the vehicle but it wouldn't lock, it was only turning halfway and the lock "button" on the door panel wouldn't go down. Since then I never tried to manually lock/unlock with the key. I assumed that it wouldn't work since it had an alarm. The issue was that the lawyer said an insurance adjustor looked at our vehicle to assess the damage (it was recovered but it was burned) and said that the key didn't work when he was trying to open the back (5th) door. Our insurance adjustor said we sent them the wrong key. One of my friends said why don't they call a toyota dealer, give them my vehicle's vin# and have a duplicate made and compare the 2 together. I didn't say this to the lawyer already, he might give me a harder time with questions thinking that I know too much. Does any of you know if this is possible? We didn't know what to answer because we don't know if this was possible or not. Does the doors need a separate key to manually open/close it? Or was there a malfunction on the way the alarm was set to prevent manual open/close on the doors? If by chance any of you can try on your 4runners to see if your key that you use to start the ignition will work or will not work in manually locking/unlocking the door? I appreciate your comments so that we can get a peace of mind here. Thanks much! |

Replying to: 4runnerbabe (Feb 16, 2007 10:25 am) I am no expert, but it sounds like at some time your door locka were changed. This happened to me once when the door lock was broken. The locksmith installed new locks in the door but gave me a new key for it also. But when they did this, they also rekeyed the ignition so one keyed worked everything except the glove box. It sounds strange that your keys would not manually open and lock the doors.
