1) The 4Runner actually DOES have an OBDII port under the dash.
2) That "3.5 gear" is actually the torque converter doing it's thing.
I am probably going to think of more soon
Which makes me come the point of...I wonder if I have heated mirrors when I turn my rear defrost on? Good for the foggy mornings. How would I find out?

Well today, I just found out my truck was totalled in Missouri 12 years ago. The odometer was rolled back about 25,000 miles back in 98.

I found out:
The dash cupholders arent good for anything w/out a screw on lid.
The Light in the cargo area sucks and isnt good for anything.
It's actually faster than it feels (proven by me (in our Honda) chasing my wife as she's driving the 4runner)

It's in the owner's manual but I never looked that hard but I found out that if you unlock the doors with the remote but don't open any of them the doors lock themselves back up after 30 seconds.
On the subject of heated mirrors;do all the 3rd gens have this feature? I thought the ones that did have a little defrost symbol on the bottom of the mirror. I don't think mine has these but I'll investigate soon.
