I can't answer your questions regarding the newer Tacomas and how they track. But I don't think the issue holds for all 4runners or even the 4th gens.
What does your 2006 have for suspension?
Have you had a recent alignment and were all angles / settings within spec?
Any damage that could explain the "drives like a brick"?
I'm asking because both before and after my suspension upgrade I found that my 2006 drives with much better manners than my 1st Gen Tacoma or my brothers 3rd gen Tacoma. Sure it drives like an SUV (rather than a sports car) I find no fatigue from trying to keep it safely in it's lane even when driving long distances on the highway. The rig tracks very well even when towing the camper. For example I've driven from the Eastern Sierra of California to Colorado with the popup trailer behind at 80 MPH in one LONG day and have done a few other long trips without complaint.
