To Grande TRD congrats ! I had to wait 3 months for my Grande FWD (got it last week)but it was worth the wait..Its been a great vehicle to drive so far.Cant work out were the compass is though !Not sure if we have one as is says in the brochure.

Cheers Garry. I didnt get a chance to go to Clark Rubber and fill the side panel with foam. I am going to Toyota to get them to checked it out, and i did a search and saw that you had a similar problem which was resolved by looking at the wiper housing. I would like to thank everyone that posted comments (so far) its a great site and everyone has been really helpful. My build is March 2008. Thanks again Brezza Just picked up my new FWD Grande(finally after a 3 month wait) its a June 08 build and the first thing I noticed was that rattle behind the steering wheel.Noise went away once car warmed up .Very happy with the Kluger so far beautiful to drive.Lookin forward to chatting to you guys.

It is a drive by wire throttle. After everything I've read about the Kluger traction/stability control and what I've seen with the cruise control, I'm starting to think that Toyota's solution to criticism that their previous sowftware was too obtrusive was to just introduce a delay to when it operates. Traction control in a front driver is always going to be a hit and miss situation. As you accelerate in it, the weight is transfered to the rear and therefore it is easier to get wheelspin. When towing, the front will always lift a little, therefore even less weight through the driving wheels. The same system in a commodore works far better. I have a barine SRI(FWD) and the same thing happens, if i push it hard, it will start protesting lots! Remember, the kluger has over 200 killer wasps going through the wheels. I will be going for the AWD. So is it worth the $4500 and go for the AWD?I was told if you not really using the car for off road its not worth spending the extra $4500 for AWD.I've ordered a FWD grande(arriving July) , thinking of changing to AWD.What do you all think.?

Hi just joined the the club too .Just ordered a black Grande with nudge bar , side rail ,beige leather.About a 3 month wait.Has any one got any pics of there black kluger?How does black go with our hot summer? The aircon works really well. I didn't get black because you can see every bit of dirt on it. I had a black Grande for a test drive for 3 days. It didn't rain and I only drove of sealed roads, but it looked filthy when I took it back. The graphite looks cleaner for longer, even though it's not. Once we order in about a month, we were debating over tidal blue, pearl white, graphite, but even though its alot more maintenance(washing), we have decided the black will look the best(If kept clean). Im going to use the waterless wash and garage it nightly, so hopefully i can get the kids involved in doing some of it too! I agree ,black does look the best when kept clean ! I've also ordered the sand beige leather interior with black mats,dont know how hard beige is to keep clean compared to black leather.Any one out there with the beige leather ! I heard its a bit cooler in summer than having black interior.
