Loud front wiper motors and no automatic wipers?

samsamdar · Friday at 9:09 PM

So far I'm absoultely loving this rig! I'm on a 1200 mile trip from TX to NC and the only issues I can find are with the front wipers:

First, does anyone else agree that they are kinda loud? I feel like the motors are way louder than they should be for a 2025 car. Maybe take it in for warranty request?

Second, do we really not get auto wipers on this truck? Or is there some secret way to enable them that I'm not seeing lol?

Thanks y'all

Yes, it's loud and I wish, but don't think the have the auto feature. Even my work vans have auto wipers.

I’ve not noticed them being loud, this is the 3rd 4Runner I’ve owned and I think they were all the same. Auto wipers I miss- it only takes having one vehicle with them to make it a must have, lol.

Having a rain sensor only on Platinum is kinda an outrageous choice on Toyota's part in this day and age

Yeah wow it’s so interesting to see what they cut costs on nowadays. Maybe I’ll retrofit it one day lol

With all of the sensors and safety features they put in all of the trims, I’m surprised they skipped on rain sensing wipers (seriously, it’ll display speed limit signs, stop signs, pedestrian crossing signs, but no rain sensing wipers). I’ve been living with them for the better part of 10 years in all my vehicles and now the newest vehicle I’ve purchased doesn’t have them, and a “top trim” at that

. Oh well, I guess they wanted to have a few old school touches, along with the horn.

Also, I can’t hear my front wipers at all, they are very quiet. Happy with them, aside from lack of rain sensing.
