[continuing logic] Disconnect your airbags and seatbelts too.

OEM XL lug nuts fit and look great on the BS BB wheels. I wasted too long reading the lug nut threads. Save your time and sanity.

ON is the correct answer.

Correct. Toyota AWD hybrids use rear electric motors and only lose ~1-2 mpg vs non-AWD models. 1 mpg city for 2022 Escape https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2022_Ford_Escape.shtml

Sienna engine only produces 189 HP. So Mav hybrid should be fine with 3k pounds if we assume it translates linearly. But... random search on Google tells me that a 1995 Explorer with only 160 HP could tow 3500 lbs. (edit - scratch that - with factory tow package, up to 5k lbs it seems. Same...

hwy miles are super easy on the engine/oil I'd put it off until after, but I'm one who always is concerned about price, even if I don't need to be lol

They're both 2.5L hybrids (and both Atkinson I believe) with an eVCT. My Mav feels way peppier than our Sienna, thanks to 1k less lbs to haul around too. (0-60 times seem about identical though - maybe the AWD helps off the line) HP isn't the main reason for tow ratings, also, it seems.

I'd never buy tires at a dealer unless they have a really good special running. Discount/America's Tire, Cosco, SamsClub or a smaller local shop that is good will match those places. Probably just missed out on all the Memorial Day discounts. You're in CA - we don't really get summer rains...

Our Sienna AWD hybrid can tow 3500 lbs + a 4600 lb minivan around. Mav weighs 1k lbs less than the Sienna. 4k tow seems completely doable.

I added ACC to my XL. Just need someone to show us how to add AWD ;)

Look for my pdf in this thread. Check your coding vs that. You shouldn't need BSM for ACC.

I went down the rabbit hole a couple weeks back. Added a note to my Mav spreadsheet that Costco Kirkland 0w20 was A-OK. Warren Manu. "recommends" it for the spec. That's good enough for me...

In US and Canada, all 2.5L hybrids come with the EBB and any Lariat that has ACC, no matter the engine.

Yeah, lets be sure to support the big oil corporations. They definitely care about the little guy. Oh, and I'm certain this post, although not mentioning right or left wing, will get nuked along with your political rants. I'm all for nuclear while we're on the topic. :D Do you realize that...

No one cares about my property as much as I do. If you want something done right...

You twos are the reason that these "shell games" can exist. When I maintained (mainly oil changes) more vehicles, I would find all the oil deals out there and stock up. Used to get full synthetic oil for free many, many times. Gotta play the rebate game, but it pays to play sometimes. Free...

My $24.5k XL was rear ended after a month (and the day after I waxed it). I would have been much more PO'd if it was a 45k+ vehicle. I was upset, but mainly b/c I knew it'd be in the shop for quite a while and now has an accident on the record. Uninsured motorist - fully covered with $0 out of...
