Are you accelerating with the emergency brake on?

Light’s stuck on. Even if it was engaged, it doesn’t work.

4100ish lbs + realistically under 100whp + super short gearing + slow shifting automatic = 20 second 0-60.

I did this with my FJ80 once, with similar results. The leap from that to a 4th-gen 4Runner was...significant.

I’ve been dailying it this week, and hadn’t driven my FiST up until yesterday. It felt quite swift.

I see your parking brake light comes on under hard acceleration like mine does.

Going back and forth between my C63 and FJ80 was always a bit of a shock. It still is in the T4R but at least they’re from the same century.

Nope, it just does it when it wants.

Low brake fluid level? Could be sloshing around in reservoir.

And before you laugh at me because it’s not equipped with a level sensor... well my 21-year-old Lada has one and I don’t know what car you’ve got but I judge cars hard that are missing features the Niva’s got.

Could be. Might just be the sensor. It was unplugged when I got it...

Valid. I only realized after I’d logged off how much of a dickhead that made me sound. I’d meant it in jest.

Lol I know, I take it’s slowness as a badge of patience.

I still remember the first time I got on the freeway in the Dakota. I really should have down shifted, ‘cause it was fuckin’ dreadful. It couldn’t be bothered to accelerate, but I had no tach at the time and was still new to driving it, so I was scared to downshift.

Well, it’s faster than the mini. By about a year and a half(haven’t done a 0-60 test yet bc it’s been sitting in pieces for a year)

I was going to say it wasn’t in any way faster than a Mini, but if it’s in pieces... Down a hill pushing it, you might win.
