I wonder if you could special order the 4Runner you want without the sunroof. I wish we didn't have one - never use it and my head brushes it - so I have to tilt the seat back. We have a 2000 Tundra for hauling stuff; so that's not an issue. Trailer is a good option too.

Long story short, I never even considered a 4R for myself. After losing our vehicles in a house fire, I got my wife a white 4R Pro and I liked it so much, that I got a Calvary Blue. I absolutely love my Pro. I've owned a bunch of sports/muscle cars and many trucks, but my 4R is currently my favorite.

I am a big guy (6'8" and 350 lbs.), but the 4R fits me surprisingly well, although a full size truck would definitely offer more room and comfort. I also find myself needing a truck bed for miscellaneous projects, especially with just moving back into the house.

Although I "think" I need a truck, I cannot help wondering if I will regret letting my 4R Pro go. I have a couple of reasons. At 6'8", I absolutely will not comfortably fit with a sunroof, which all new 4R Pros now have. If I regret my decision, I cannot just go out and buy a new one. And the color, the color has really grown on me. I've received more complements on my Calvary Blue 4R, than all of my muscle cars and other vehicles combined.

I'm not really sure why I like my 4R so much. I am definitely not a Pro snob, but knowing that less Pros where produced and they stand out a little more from every other 4R, probably has something to do with it. I'm sure the color also has something to do with it. I know it sounds stupid, but I like having a vehicle that stands out from everything else.

If I did let the 4R go, it would most likely be for a Tundra Pro or Sierra AT4. Up until the fire, I was a loyal GM customer, so I know what I'm getting into. The Tundra Pro seems like a great truck, although dated, but I don't know if my judgment on the Tundra is only carried over from the 4R.

To further complicate things, there is talk of a complete redesign for the 2021 Tundra with no V8 option. I would imagine, a 4R redesign is not far out either.

Anyone regret getting rid of the 4R? Should I just get a trailer and call it a day? Or should I go with a Tundra or AT4?
I'd wait for the next gen tundra to come out. The 17 4runner is my wifes but she allowed me to build it. Blacked out, trd pro suspension and wheels. I love it and she does as well, it ll be a long term suv. For hauling stuff I just hook up the trailer. I'm waiting on the next gen tundra crewmax or possibly the electric trucks.

I am considering a tacoma, but as a second vehicle to keep miles down on my t4r. I have a lot of add ons invested and I want to keep it a very long time.
We are looking at a Tacoma as a 3rd vehicle or possibly a JL unlimited sport. My wife's winter car was toatled this year and her other car is rwd and worthless in the snow. For some reason my wife really wants a quicksand Tacoma 6 speed. It would be nice to have a truck bed though, we find ourselves needing one more often than not.

yeah, she is pretty into cars, her winter car was a 128i 6 speed and her other car is a 340i m sport with track package and M performance tune/exhaust. I'm pushing for a quicksand tundra instead haha, but the MT on the Tacoma could sway me more towards it. We might wait until 2020 for the updates on the Tacoma.

Anyways, back to the thread. I think you should consider a trailer unless you use the bed all the time or tow a lot, and if towing and payload is your primary use, I'd skip the Pro or AT4 as they are reduced on both of those models and opt for a standard trim.

What did you end up doing? And how did you make the choice? I'm also thinking about selling my current car and buying a Tundra Pro instead. Is renting it for a while worth it? I've already contacted fluid truck customer service and found out that they offer this car model for renting. But it would be great to find out other people's experiences first.
