That dual-position opening is completely normal behavior for the 6th-generation 4Runner moonroof. The first stop is a comfort position to reduce wind noise, and pressing it a second time opens it fully.
Aim the pan back: Position your drain pan slightly offset toward the rear/side, as the initial stream shoots out at an angle rather than dropping straight down.
That is normal for the new 8-speed transmission. The computer learns your driving style during the first few thousand miles. It tries to smooth out the shift from first to second gear.
A 275/70R18 tire (roughly a true 33.2") on 18" TRD Pro wheels at stock height will likely experience minor rubbing on the front mudflaps or liner during tight turns or compression off-road, but it is easily fixed by removing or modifying the front mudflaps.
Your Toyota’s Pre-Collision System (PCS) likely experienced "phantom braking." Newer TSS systems can occasionally misread motorcyclists or road obstacles as pedestrians, abruptly triggering maximum automatic emergency braking.
The TRD Pro will ride much smoother on-road than the TRD Off-Road. The Pro comes with high-end 2.5-inch Fox internal-bypass shocks. These soak up bumps better than the Bilstein shocks on the Off-Road. You can also adjust the Fox shocks' stiffness to match your comfort preference. Both models...
To tackle that stubborn zinc sunscreen from car plastics, your best bet is an oil-dissolving cleaner paired with mechanical agitation. Zinc is notoriously tough because it’s a mineral-based oil blocker.
You cannot fit 35" tires (285/70/18) on a stock TRD Pro without heavy rubbing or modifications like cutting/removing body parts. The max safe tire is 33" (285/70/17 or 275/70/17). For 35" tires, you need a ≥ 2" lift and modified crash plates.
