2020 Toyota 4Runner Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota 4Runner tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota 4Runner tires online.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Tire Q&A

  • Is Toyota tire inflation important? The right tire pressure can make all the difference. Proper tire inflation helps increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan! Even a small change in tire pressure can impact your driving.
  • What do the numbers on my Toyota 4Runner tires mean? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Toyota tire numbers.
  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota 4Runner tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove.

  • Are Toyota 4Runner engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota 4Runner. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil.

  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my 4Runner’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around 4Runner car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2020 Toyota 4Runner

  • What happens if my Toyota 4Runner spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota 4Runner mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota 4Runner. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota 4Runner need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2020 4Runner Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2020 Toyota 4Runner, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your 4Runner jolts, pulls to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2020 Toyota 4Runner in for suspension and steering service. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your 4Runner suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2020 4Runner Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Toyota 4Runner bouncing so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my 4Runner tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your 4Runner when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

A/C Service for Your 2020 Toyota 4Runner

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2020 Toyota 4Runner A/C problems. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2020 Toyota 4Runner A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2020 Toyota 4Runner, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Toyota guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

2020 Toyota 4Runner A/C System FAQs

  • Why is my 4Runner A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your 4Runner’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my 4Runner’s A/C to work?  Damaged or worn components in your 4Runner’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Transmission Service & Repairs

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2020 Toyota 4Runner transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Toyota 4Runner transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your 4Runner at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2020 4Runner services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. If you think there’s something wrong with your 4Runner’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Transmission Q&A

  • Does my 4Runner's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Caring for your Toyota 4Runner’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota 4Runner?  Yes. Toyota 4Runner transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota 4Runner if it has a transmission fluid leak?  Driving your 4Runner with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Inspections

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. The technician will begin by testing your Toyota 4Runner's battery to determine how much charge remains. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Toyota 4Runner's filters, lights, wiper blades, alignment, tires, hoses, belts and fluid levels.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but you can also request a Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 2020 Toyota 4Runner if you suspect there may be a bigger problem.

Common 2020 Toyota 4Runner Vehicle Inspection Questions

  • How do I know if I should have an inspection on my Toyota 4Runner? It needs a check-up if something feels 'off' to you, the driver. Your Toyota 4Runner could benefit from a Courtesy Check if it has any illuminated dashboard lights, you hear weird noises coming from any part, the engine doesn't start sometimes, or your vehicle pulls to one side.
  • My 2020 Toyota 4Runner failed the state inspection test. Can you fix it? There's a good chance we can. Stop by for a full system inspection and we'll get to the root of the issue.
  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Toyota 4Runner?  You should bring your Toyota 4Runner in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem. A new dashboard light might come on, you may hear strange sounds under the hood, or your steering might feel off. A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Radiator Repair & Service

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2020 Toyota 4Runner is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Toyota recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Toyota 4Runner cooling system. Then, we’ll move on to a machine-powered coolant exchange. Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’re here to give your 2020 Toyota 4Runner the top-notch service it needs.

2020 Toyota 4Runner Radiator Q&A

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Toyota?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What is causing my 4Runner to overheat?  If your Toyota 4Runner engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • Why does the radiator in my 4Runner sound like it’s rumbling or boiling?  Air pockets in your 4Runner’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
