They stop whenever they feel something’s on their way (in this case, snow/ice). Always important to carry a “de-icer” to make the windshield as ice-free as possible.
@@jalissa216 It depends on the trim. I have 2024 4Runner TRD Pro and has the wiper heating from the factory. It's visible under the glass in the windshield lower edge
04:34 Na-na-na don't do that. :-) That's always a very BIG No for me. Until the windshield is not unfrozen on the bottom I'm not moving the wipers. I don't like to buy another pair of wipers or refills any time soon.
I keep my cars (lx570&fzj80) in the garage if the temperature is drops below -15c there I can do different stuff with the car with just a simple T-shirt (sometimes without😅) if it gets 🥵there is also constant running hot water if need a little cleaning
@ yeah I’m pretty sure I know where I live and I’m friends with all my neighbors and go to the store and go out and about on my snow machine and don’t see anybody with studded tires. I see people running blizacks but I I run falcon wild Peak AT4W. So nope I’m afraid to tell you I’m not lying.

What happened with the wipers?
They stop whenever they feel something’s on their way (in this case, snow/ice). Always important to carry a “de-icer” to make the windshield as ice-free as possible.
@@MachineBazi wow that sucks. Toyota should equip their cars with heated wipers.
Agreed. They actually have a “steering wheel heater” (that I activated at 02:09) and this one was a life saver

Do you need to switch to 2WD once you are on highway?
I don't precisely remember if this is a requirement but I know that 4WD is mainly advised for low speeds (sub-40mph).
real Alaskans warm up their car for like 15mins before they go anywhere
I was born in Alaska and approve this message
😂
hope you're running studded tires, unless you want to destroy that beautiful 4runner. You'll have grip until you don't and then...
These were indeed studded tires :) we were lucky here since it’s not guaranteed to get one when you go pick up a car at the rental agency.
I live in Fairbanks and I don’t know anyone that runs studded tires up here. I run all season tires on my vehicles and have no problem whatsoever.
