FYI....The most recent Apple update on the iPhone 11 fixes all of the call issues we have been having. No need to go to the dealer just update the phones software. Ours had the issue, updated the phone and its working great now.

I wouldn't go so far as to tell others that they don't need the Toyota update. Most likely folks would benefit from both, the Toyota update and the iOS update.

Hello. I believe I read somewhere the other day that the 2020 screen does not dim at night and is really bright. Have been trying to search for it but can not find that post. Can someone please let me know if the screen is dimmable? Thanks!

It is. Interior light dimmer to the left of the steering wheel.

Thanks! I haven't purchased yet but will be soon. So is the screen brightness not separate from the rest of the dash lights?

This is just my opinion so no one don’t take a offense to this. Lol. But I cannot believe how many complaints about the brakes and the headlights. I have been driving Toyota’s for years. I traded my 17 Pro in on my 2020 Pro. No brake squeals with 1500 hundred miles on it. I think the headlights are fine unless you want to spend 1300 for the upgraded ones aftermarket. I let my Pro sit in my garage for a week or sometimes 3 days and bring it out and no complaints. I Like the big screen for the Apple play. No issues.

with you. my family has had runners since 99 starting with 99 LTD, 10 LTD, 11 Trail, 19 TRDP, and now 20 TRDORP. no issues. lights are more of a personal preference and the breaks on squeal sometimes when its extreme cold... i mean -20degree Celsius. love the 20 airplay and the safety auto break- it works very very well.

The screen brightness is attached to the same dial as the rest of the dash lights.

The confusion over it sounding like it doesn't dim comes from people (including me) not realizing that the vehicle comes with the dash/display locked to full brightness from the dealer. When in that position, it doesn't dim with the headlights on as you expect. It took me a couple of days to figure out why the screen was so blinding at night.

In the setting menu you can also set the background from white to dark which helps, I believe there are other adjustments in the settings menu that may also help with the brightness.

Purchased on 26-Jan with 50 miles, then took it on a 2500 mile jaunt to Bozeman, Jackson, SLC and back to Seattle. Great ski rig. Very comfortable on the long miles. Cruises at 85 with 18mpg avg. No squealing brakes, Apple Play works great, call quality is great on both ends. Headlights? Worked fine on highway 153/20 out to Winthrop...AKA "deer kill alley". Net-Net: I love this 4Runner.

Offroad Premium 3months 10700 miles

These are my current annoyances.

Apple Car Play Freezes
Makes a large pop sound after being turned off for about 5 minutes.
Seat belt plastic making noise

I have '20 ORP:
No Sunglass holder.
No auto dimming screen--I still cant believe Toyota put dummy the light sensor.
No grab bar on second row. Kids have hard time getting in and out.

I found the stock headlight brightness to be okay, but I did was add Hikari LED bulbs to the stock housing. Much better brightness. Ran the same bulbs in my 2011 Land Cruiser and 2012 4Runner, but with the projector type housing for the low beams, the focus on the 2020 is 10x better. A highly recommended upgrade!

Here are the sets for both low and high:

Haven't purchased upgraded fogs yet.
