Never heard of any “hate” for a 4Runner trim

Yeah, not only because of poke/air reactance, but also rolling resistance of wider segment width, but also the significantly increased weight of the giant tires a lot of people slap on

A little confused after investing the time in reading this. You put a huge focus on resale value, yet also dedicate many words to concerns of very-long-term ownership. You talk about the importance of being purpose-built, but then mention you picked up the Trailhunter trim to never venture...

I actually like it. It's probably there to clearly indicate when the ACC is applying brakes vs. just slowing down without applying brakes, if so it would be kinda nice if there were a way to turn it off during normal driving. I don't believe you can, though.

Agree. I have no qualms reusing the filter for the 2 oil changes I've done within the first 3000 miles, given Toyota expects you to leave it in for 10k. If the oil guy is right and NOT replacing it during these 3000 miles improves the filtration, great. If not, great; you're still strictly...

You do you! I appreciate the difficulty of picking a trim but luckily for me it was simple. I want FT4WD. So that leaves limited, platinum, or LC. I don’t want hybrid, so that leaves limited. As long as you pick a trim that isn’t _missing_ anything you want that you’d be able to get on another...

The limited is the only gas model with ASS, as specified very clearly in Toyota features lists by trim the gas models other than limited don’t have ASS. https://cdn.4runner6g.com/attachments/32/32294-8e21c424d54e6dd1a1380164871de9a3.webp As for hybrids, I wouldn’t really call the gas motor...

Cool, fwiw I love the gas powertrain in my Limited. Doesn't leave me wanting for anything.

oh no, that looks... homely :( kind of getting aztek vibes

The lower portion of the doors and body panels, along with rockers, commonly have much thicker paint that is much more visibly orange peeled, to protect against rocks thrown up by tires/road. Not sure if there is something special under the paint or if it's just much thicker paint there. This...

No offense, but the original post seems very clearly written by AI... I wish we could keep online community discussions human and authentic, using our own words and brains!

same. I got their trans and transfer case skid as well but have only installed the engine skid so far, it's great.

I paid invoice for my limited gas 5-seater in December. Only PIO was all-weather floor mats, no BS addons like vin etching or fake ceramic coating. Oregon.

Ya, that’s how my limited is. A little message even comes up on the screen that says “press brake harder to stop engine” or something like that! it _is_ strange it’s not on the lower trims, given it seems like more of a CAFE thing than anything

Dunno what you’re… correcting? here. TMC directly owns over 20% of Aisin. They are closely affiliated both by current ownership structure as well as corporate history. The point is it’s not like some unaffiliated third party manufactures the transmission, which was the implication of the...
