Is there a dark mode for the head unit? It's really bright and distracting at night.
There is a dark mode -simply take the light dimming wheel to the left of the steering wheel and spin the wheel down until it clicks out of the highest setting. As long as your lights are on, the dark mode will turn on.
I did forget to write that I do have KDSS. Yes, the unicorn thing is real. The toyota site wasn't helpful/accurate when I was searching.
Where I am:
X - Found a salesperson who is convinced my preferences constitute a “unicorn” that will have to be ordered from Japan.
X - Salesperson’s fleet manager agrees and will request vehicle from Japan.
__- Japan agrees to build the vehicle.
__- Vehicle is built
__- Vehicle is shipped
__- Vehicle arrives at port
__- Vehicle departs port
__- Vehicle arrives at dealership

Got my Morimoto 2Stroke lows in, Xenon Depot Xtreme w/DRL drivers in, OEM LED fogs w/black bezels in...my wrists look like I’m on a cutting binge...but it all works and everything is buttoned back up.
A couple of observations for those who might go a similar route:
Morimotos - I had to swap the stock o ring gasket as the Mori one was too thick..couldn’t get the light to seat properly. Everything tucks away under the dust cover neatly.
Xenon Depot - plug and play, no issues at all. Mounted the drivers off to the side under the side covers. Nice and tidy.
Toyota OEM LED fogs - Holy kick me in the nuts...driver’s side was fine, mounted up like a champ...but the passenger side took me, the wife and both kids to hold stuff back, aim lights and hold the fog in place just so I could get a screwdriver in there. That passenger wheel lining did not want to cooperate...at one point I dropped several combinations of the f-bomb and my son, who loves to call me out on language, just said, “I think I’ll let those go...”
Also did the interior lights to LED...puddle mirror lights will have to wait until later...
Still can’t figure out how to post pics, otherwise I would...
Hey all,
New to 4runners. New to the forum. Just purchased a 2020 trd off road premium in blue. Really wanted Barcelona red, but it was sold before me and the salesman could agree on pricing. (Supposedly..think he never had it)
Paid 41,500, which included roof rack, predator tube steps, moonroof and updated chrome tailpipe.
That said...it took me about 10 dealerships to haggle to get that price.
BUT...im having problems with the Remote start...or lack thereof? Im in North Dakota...clearly i want this.
Was told all 2020s have one..but when I hit the touch screen "Remote auto button" ..it says "Not equipped with remote start"
Any advice?
Ive downloaded all the apps..they're more frustrating than anything.
Just picked up a 2020 BR ORP last week for the wife. Does anybody know if remote connect works on this trim? She was told by the salesman it does but hasn't been able to get it set up and working yet. Now that we're starting to get some snow remotely starting it is moving up on her priority list.
I can confirm that my 2020 Off Road has it I set it up today.
You need to get the toyota app for your phone (not entune, its called toyota app). Sign up. Link it to your car with the VIN. Get an PIN emailed to you and put it on that app with the red icon in the infotainment. I got a year free of remote connect - you use it to start the car through the power of satellites.

Im really thinking not all come equipped. But hope im wrong. I did the service set up on the toyota app, but remote connect isnt on there for me. Just safety connect, Wi-Fi. Called dealership for help, they said they dont see it on the build sheet. So I must not have it..
2020 ORP here. If there’s a remote connect using the Toyota App or other method, heck if I can find it. Doesn’t look like it’s equipped. My Toyota app still says I have 100 miles and a full tank, no longer accurate. That’s all the info I can see

Just my .02 and you guys can take it for what it's worth as I know opinions are subjective regardless if you've experienced driving all of these rigs. I started in 2016 with a 15' Trail with KDSS, sold it six months ago for a 16' Quicksand PRO and just returned from a two-week road trip in my sister's 19' MGM Limited 4x4.
#1 The Limited interior comforts trump them all and the XREAS suspension gives it an amazing ride. My only gripes are it's too chromed out and no 4x4 options like the TRDs.
#2 KDSS (TRDOR) provides far superior control in cornering over non-KDSS equipped ones. The limited is a close second because the XREAS
#3 I love the PRO if you get the special color but I'm not completely sold on it's highest price point comparably to both the Limited and Off-Road.
Summary: If I had the option of buying a 2020, I'd get the TRDOR Premium with KDSS, moonroof and no sliding rear deck
Here is a quick video review I made from our road trip to the Outer Banks , NC:

If you've looked in the Toyota app then maybe its not included for USA models or at least where you are. Canada only one version of SR5 one ver of TRD Off Road. Only option for Off Road comes with no sliding tray, + moon roof + kdss + dual climate + toyota connect. It's also pretty hard to negotiate on price up here compared to what I read you guys getting in States.
See pic below from Toyota website... On Canadian site it implies that all 2020 4runner come with it

I would call Toyota and see if can be added?
Thanks...I'll call Monday. Had no luck with their 1800 number Saturday or even emailing. 1st experience with toyota and pretty underwhelmed and buyers remorse currently.
Oh, thought itd be cool to use Alexa too. Since the toyota site does claim this model comes equipped w the capability. Yet it wont connect to that either. And the app doesn't even list 4runner as being capable in the list.
