Question: Weird vibration only between 62–70 mph

Car is smooth around town, but on the highway I get a vibration in the steering wheel and seat between about 62 and 70 mph. Above that it actually gets a little better. Tires look okay to me. Where would you start before I start throwing parts at it? If I fix it I'll come back and update the thread.

If it were in my driveway, get a real battery/charging test on the 2023 Toyota 4Runner, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2023 Toyota 4Runner is losing coolant with no puddle. That's the branch I'd chase this week. This is from a 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Raleigh. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Only after sitting overnight so far.

Ask what changed right before it started. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2023 Toyota 4Runner catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. This is from a 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Raleigh. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2023 Toyota 4Runner, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “weird vibration only between 62–70 mph,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. If that fails I'll eat the diagnostic fee.
