the only thing i can find is the rear door walk away auto lock on page 644 of the HV owners manual. there is no walk away for the main doors
Not sure what triggered coming back to this old thread but.... although I trust Nodak that there is not a walk away other than the button on the tailgate, there IS the incredibly useful and simple dimple on the front door handles. A light touch locks everything. (it works on bottom and top of the front of the handles - driver and passenger front)

All I can say is I enjoyed every minute and where ever I pull up off road or street People do not missed identify my 4Runner as THE TRAIL HUNTER. JUST something about the TH that always will stand out from the rest of the pack.

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 trim, you’ll be golden.

Agree. That is why they have 9 trims. For different taste, purpose and budget. Oh hell if I have the time and mechanical skills / engineering skills I just get the cheapest 4Runner and spend the next few years playing engineer wanna to be 🤣🤣

For me I want a Hybird that is comfy for both off road and street. That will have the best equipped/stock from the manufacturer. After a long research about ARB MT64 suspension system I choose the Trail Hunter. It is below my budget, the color I wanted and all stuff that I need and want with it. I keep it simple. I do not want to be a grease monkey ecery weekend. Time is the only un renewable resource. Once u lose it u don’t get it back. I rather used that time enjoy the car with family and friends.

I agree about the windshield wipers. The 5th gen was fantastic in the rain - good visibility. The 6th gen is very frustrating in that the driver's side wiper doesn't sweep far enough, pulling water into the driver's line of sight.
