one of the reasons people buy the T4R is because they are fairly easy (albeit not cheap) to mod.
that said, think of it this way: (this is an oversimplification)
if your driving cross country and you'd like to do it with the ride of an impala - the JGC is the choice (super plush and comfy). If you'd rather do the drive in a RAM / F150, the T4R is a great place to start (knowing the tires and suspension are some of the first mods made to these vehicles).

Not looking for an Impala ride, but I certainly don't want a Wrangler ride.

It drives much more comfortably than a 4Runner, but it has 4wheel independent suspension and is not body on frame. Of course it drives better and of course it gets better gas mileage. But it won't match the 4Runner in off-road prowess. I bought my 4Runner to go off road.

True, but if you buy a used one it might break on the way out of the lot....
Anybody spent lots of time in a GX? I've driven a Prado for a week and it was perfectly fine - even on pockmarked roads outside of Mosul.
If the 4R drives/rides even close to a GX/Prado, then I think I'd be happy.
