From what I can tell so far in 5k miles my silver 4Runner paint is no better or worse than any others I’ve seen in the past 10 years or so.

I have to agree with this. It's on every car forum I am on... I brought home a new BMW X5M Competition a couple months back. Drove home from from the dealership without PPF. 3 freakin rock chips through the primer on the hood and bumper.
Hadn't even driven 200 miles and there was damage. Toyota doesn't have a great paint reputation, but everyone has the same issues these days with the low VOC and water bourne paints.
