I don't disagree that the 5th gen is the pillar for reliability, but every time a new model comes out, regardless of brand, everyone just complains about how the old one is better and then they finally get the new one and realize it's way better. Or there is an issue with the new one with a tiny percentage of the vehicles having said issue and all of the sudden the whole thing is junk and their 1987 model is way better. It's hilarious.

I expect some issues in the first MY but Toyota and their supporters, Like David (automotive press), have been saying this tt v6 has been out for 4-5 years with millions of miles in testing being done by Toyota to ensure no major issues. I would say turbos failing after 50 miles is a massive failure in engineering and QC. The amount of body trim issues just shows sloppy work. Rear differentials leaking all of the fluid out, AC not holding a charge and so on.
I thought about holding out for the 2023 4Runner but didn't want to risk a model change being announced too late to order the last MY of the 5th gen. It's been 2 months since I put my deposit down and ordered one and still no word on allocation. I'm assuming the order will get filled before summer. There has been a reduction in production of the 4Runner. The 22 Tundra has reinforced the "never buy the first year of production".
