Toyota will replace it for free.
If that was delivered with that gouge, it did not pass PDI...dead stop.
PDI is a requirement for all Toyotas and they often skip a lot of it,
but if dealer balks, go after Toyota corporate they'll 107% make it right
and replace it.
the compact spare is T175/90D18 111M
the SR5 stock tire is 245/70R17
difference between the two: 0.3% (they essentially match, no real issues vs stock)

245/70-17
175/90-18
Diameter inches (mm)
30.5 (774.8)
30.4 (772.2)
-0.1 (-2.6) -0.3%
in other words, run them all...
this is a bad recommendation and 107% should not be done
it will create a mess, collect all kinds of dirt and grit, degrade the seals,
and can (will) damage paint over time
if you want to put something on the door seals to protect them,
keep them from sticking or freezing... rub with beeswax...
I'd go with SR5 because in reality, it does everything every other 4runner will do w/o added fluff and $$$$. If you are gonna wheel hard beyond SR5 capabilities you already know what you want. SR5 can do 99% any other 4runner will be seen doin.
I base this comment on having another 4runner with...
you should remove the entire trim panel and access the back side
attacking from the front I am not sure it's doable but will require specialized
trim tools and high chance of breakage
before you leave the vehicle, but if you've already shut everything down,
just operate the window switches, they remain operational for
about 30 seconds...so if you forget to close them you can do it
w/o having to use key or start button to give them power
if you do start to raise one or lower...
that is more than a scratch, it's a gouge
107% dealer needs to remedy with replacement of that panel
vehicle should never have left the lot with pre-delivery damage.
damage happens sure, and there is an entire sub-industry which
handles car dealer scratches, dings, dents on new vehicles. this...
probably the automatic parking brake.
epb actuator has a motor and spindle to press pads to rotor
and it's kinda loud if your windows are down
or you are against a wall or in a garage
the fob has an accelerometer to wake it up
if you walk around with it all day that drains the battery fast
if you set it down and don't move it, it goes to sleep in a few minutes
so...set it down so it goes to sleep for the day and wakes up when it's moved
or shut it off by pressing and...
nothing to see here...paint threads are like oil threads

Numerous Ford owners and inspectors report significant issues with paint quality, including premature chipping, bubbling, and peeling. Common complaints suggest the paint is applied too...
on mine the hamburger doesn't do anything but show up. I need to press and hold
the station icon and not the hamburger to do anything. hamburger tap, hamburger press,
hamburger drag, nothing. the remove (do not enter icon) button works to remove favorite
I was wrong and on SR5 you can change the list order
be stopped so the edit function is available
go to Favorites and EDIT
press on a station and hold it until it blinks once
now it can be dragged up or down the list to a new slot
I won't be getting any for the 4runner, but on rav4 the reason I got them
was to crack windows to vent summer baking heat while parked but keep sudden rain
from getting in too
nope, I've tried.
the only thing that works is erase them all and build them in the order you want.
moving them should be possible but ...nope.
if you find I way somehow I'd like to know how
EDIT: I tried what was posted in this thread and it works
(a) be stopped, so you can access Favorites...
