Better fuel mileage doesn't inter in here, just long-time reliability. The model I like is the TRD Off Road and if it does not have the Premium option that will be ok with me, as long as it has AppleCarPlay I'm good to go.

I had similar thinking back in 2022 when we bought our new ORP. Now that I see where they went with the Sequoia, I'm glad we did! Always having a dog, the roll down rear window has always been important. Cargo area in our 4Runner is not exactly generous, so if they eat into it on the 6th Gen for the hybrid system, it would certainly be Game Over when combined with the loss of the rear window.
Would I like a little more power and couple extra gears? Sure, but not as important as those other things, and don't find the 5th Gen THAT much underpowered, especially coming from a 3rgd Gen.
I would opt for the Premium as we did. The Softec seats are easy to clean, are heated, and you get the Autodimming rear view mirror, heated mirrors with turn signal.
