Start stop is the button that you push so your engine won’t shut off if you come to a stop sign most new cars have that but my new forerunner does not have it. the last year’s model had the start/stop , I do not believe the hybrids have the start stop button because they shut off regardless at a stoplight, but the regular turbo engines had to start stop shut off

My 25 ORP non- hybrid does not have stop-start.

My observations of my 2026 trd offroad build date 3/26 vs my 2025 trd off road hybrid.

Still no threaded holes in the frame...
Still no insulation under the hood lol.
There is no ticking from driver door speaker on the 2026.
The spoiler is way better attached. On the 2025 it deflected quite a bit and rattled when closing the hatch. The 2026 is solid.
The wind noise around 60mph is still there in the A- pillar, but it is quieter in the 2026.
