Read my OP. I did indeed ask that.

Oh, I was pissed, but the call saved me a 70+ mile ride.

If this continues (I'm crossing my fingers it will not since it will be my 6th vehicle purchase from my dealer) I'm not going to pay $75K for a 4runner. I'll go and shop a GX550 Overland instead.

Has there been a survey asking what trim is the one being sold the most? TRD Sport, TRD Off-road, SR5, etc? Not sure if you guys have seen this video from Top Gear, but he claims that Toyota gave him a TRD Sport as they said it was one of the most popular trims.

And....I did indeed buy a Land Cruiser w/Platinum package. There are a ton of settings you can turn off, much like the annoying eye camera that rings when your not looking straight ahead. You can customize to your own specs. The Land Cruiser is much, much quieter than a 4runner and I'm loving it.

Interesting perspective, all that I heard from all kinds of reviewers and owners was that the LC was loud with no acoustic glass and near vertical windshield

I have no idea where you read that and I haven't seen or heard any reviews like that. Maybe they were referring to the 1958 model?

Forum and video reviewers in the past few months I guess. The wind noise aspect is not much of a secret. Some of them might be reviewing 1958 but I'm not aware of higher trims adding acoustic glass over 1958 anywhere. Conversely for the 4R, SR5 has front side acoustic glass and some higher trims add windshield acoustic glass; GX has side I think

Anyway, glad you found your right vehicle. Just curious on the unique perspective is all
