The Toyota Canada webpage shows that the digital rearview mirror IS on the 2026 Limited, but the brake controller is not. I hope your dealer is correct and the webpage is wrong (regarding the brake controller!)
In Canada for 2026 the Brake Controller is only included on the Hybrid models. None of the non-hybrid models come with it, and it is not available as a dealer installed option either :(
Interesting! The Canada Toyota page states "Adaptive Variable Front Suspension". I just checked the US page, and it does not specify "FRONT". So either we have a different setup in Canada, or one of the webpages is incorrect. More research required, lol.
Glad that more options will be coming available!
I am still doing as much research as possible before making a purchase decision, and am leaning to the Limited with Front Active Variable Suspension.
Therefore a few more questions.
1) Can the Front AVS shocks on a Limited be replaced...
I think I have too much time on my hands, this topic has become my pet research project!
Like porkyfly, I think geographic area and road conditions are the main contributor to the varying opinions on ride quality.
I have now driven every possible model configuration except the Trailhunter...
Don't think my plan (putting SR5 shocks on the ORP) will work, looks like the ORP also has different coil spring part numbers vs. the SR5. This idea is getting too complicated and costly.
Unfortunately the LC is significantly more expensive than the 4Runner in Canada. To get similar features as the 4Runner Platinum, the LC is $12K more expensive. So too rich for me also !
I am actually considering the ORP and swapping out the Bilstein’s with the SR5 shocks. Sounds silly, but this seems the be the best way to get the features I want with a ride that I can tolerate (without spending a ton on Fox shocks etc). I drove the Limited and Platinum, but they are also very...
JGR, what did they charge you to replace the shocks? Just curious. I might get an ORP but would need to replace the shocks with something a little softer, I am often on bad roads and need something less jarring.
Hi Porkyfly,
I agree with your observations and descriptions.
I have not purchased my 4runner yet, still on the fence. I have had (very brief) test drives of:
1) SR5
2) Non Hybrid OR Premium
3) Hybrid OR Premium
4) TRD Pro
5) Platinum
Unfortunately these were at 5 different dealerships, so...
Thanks everyone for the feedback.....
When shopping for snow tires, it looks like 265/65/18 are within 0.3% of the 20" full size spare.
Assume that is "close enough" for a short trip with the spare tire in case of a flat?
Hi group,
Does the full time AWD system require all 4 tires to have precisely the same diameter as each other? I ask in case I replace the factory wheels / tires with a different size, and need to use the full size spare for any reason.
Thanks in advance!
Hello group,
I have not been able to find a TRD Pro locally (to test drive). I was able to drive a TRD Off Road, and felt the on-road ride was quite harsh. Has anyone driven both? How does the TRD Pro compare (on road)?
Thanks in advance!
