check the sidewall and see what the tyre is rated for. Factory tyres on kxs are rated fo 50 psi. So 50 psi is perfectly safe and is what you should use if storing the car for a while.

My KX-S came with 50 psi from the dealer. For best performance obviously 50psi is probably best but for comfort I keep it at about 40. When checking pressure at the service station I always put about 43 psi to allow for the fact that the tyres have heated up a bit from driving. @ 30,000km now and looks like I'll only get another 5,000km out of them. Maybe should have kept them at 50 psi. 50 psi makes for a harder ride though.

What a whinger. That is friggin awesome service. I don't think they've ever even attempted to wash my car before.

Get the bushranger bladerunner side steps. Way better than OEM. http://www.bushranger.com.au/press_release/blade.jpg I think they cost about $600 iirc + about $150 to install. Color happens to match my Silver Kluger very nicely.

Unable or just not willing to break some rules? Is there anything in ADR about autolocks? Can't be any logical reason to ban it that I can think of. Would be interesting if someone could get a hold of the configuration device to see what really can or can't be done on the Aussie Klugers. I doubt they would make a special logic chip just for the AU Klugers.

I just got the sheep skin inserts for the front seats. That would probably work on the 2nd row seats too. Comfy, cheap, looks good, protects seats and doesn't get in the way of any airbags. I think I got mine from Autobarn.

Funny how this thread died as soon as oil prices plumetted. Anyone get the new LPG system? Probably not really worth the hassel with oil at current prices and likely to fall.

The Kluger's 3.5L 6 cylinder is an awsome engine, for city driving at least. The first thing I'd want to change with the Kluger is to replace the transmission with a 6 or 7 speed automatic transmission. The 5 speed is a bit crappy for a $50k+ car. If I was living in the country I'd probably opt for the Prado diesel.

what's the advantage of this over getting something that fits just in the double din like something from kenwood or pioneer? Get to keep the third din slot for putting your pens and stuff.

I wanted the Crystal Pearl but my wife thought "silver looks more expensive". I had no say. Silver's not bad but white would have been bettere IMO.

I know this is a Toyota forum, but Honda have a pretty good people mover I hear. Have a look at the it.. (Odessy I think).

If anything Toyota might release the hybrid Kluger here as they already have in the US. I wouldn't mind a turbo on the 3.5L V6 but it's not worth it considering the cost. After spending money on a turbo it probalby just makes your Kluger worth less. I'm thinking might get an old MR2 or Celica for fun (if I ever sell my motorbike).

When you fill up, if you can put 70 litres in it then you've pushed it pretty much tot he limit. So when the fuel light comes on I'm pretty sure you would only be able to put about 60 litres in the tank at that point.

I thought that test was supposed to test the stability control, so although they were deliberatly trying to roll it, it shouldn't have rolled had it worked properly. They did the same test on the Territory and it didn't roll. Of course all SUVs will have a tendency to roll more than a sedan or station wagon. The higher the centre of gravity the worse it will be. I think the Kluger just has a higher centre of gravity or perhaps slightly narrower width. Better for off road but worse on road. That said, I thought the Kluger handled better than the Tribeca and Murano that I test drove though I didn't try to roll them.

Rubbish. If my 4 month old daughter is going to grow up to be an astronaut she needs to start her training now.
