Be honest, your new truck is the best 4Runner you have ever driven. The steering and the power of this Gen 6 Hybrid are impressive. Do you have a roof rack or rails on that beast?
I have owned and currently own several Toyotas, particularly TRD Pros and yes, this 4Rnner is probably the best I've driven so far, albeit early. My Sequoia TRD Pro is a nice ride too.

Here's how she sits...hope this answers your question.

Love Love Love your truck, but how many hours does it take to keep that Black clean? I went with Heritage Blue in honor of my Blue 87' Gen 1 that was easier to keep clean than the parade of Grey ones I have been through. But then I was 39 years younger, which could have something to do with it. Seriously, keeping these things clean is a pain in the ass. I am constantly touching mine up, and I can't begin to imagine how much work your fleet would put me through. Your truck really is stunning!

I hope they are reliable. I purchased (or have a deposit) on a 4Runner after owning Fords for 30 years. I was ready to buy a Chevy Tahoe until I found out about a huge issue with engines blowing up. I then got close to getting a Ford Explorer ST and found out about the V6’s blowing inlet valves plus my local Ford dealerships suck. Then I looked at Mazda, cx-90. Gorgeous inside but have gearbox issues.

So, I decided on Toyota and hope for reliability over 200k plus miles with just routine maintenance.

I also agree with the last poster, Consumer Reports are not good and I would not trust them.
I was considering almost every truck and SUV on the market. Almost all of them have issues, so at the recommendation of several owners of previous generations of 4Runners, I patiently waited for the 6G. I’m happy so far, and I want it to outlive me!
