2021 4Runner SR5 seems to sit lower to the ground than my old 2016 did question.
I traded in a 2016 for a 2021 and never got the nerve to ask you guys if the newer models just sat lower to the ground than the older models. Did they change the ride height or springs on them?

No change.

2WD = 9”
4WD = 9.6”

For both 2016 and 2021.

did you put on weight?
Tire pressure difference?

No I didn't pork out. The 2021 came with TRD wheels on it and that's the only difference between the two.

Power seats vs manual? The power can go lower than manual which may make it seem lower? Idk

Was your 2016 an SR5 Premium as well? In your signature it states that your 2021 is a Premium - meaning you have 3rd row seats. Did your 2016 have 3rd row seats?

No, Premium does not designate three row seats. The main difference between the SR5 and SR5 Premium is Softex seats over cloth seats. (I have an '18 SR5 Premium).

Other difference (I think, I could be wrong):
Power drivers seat
Heated seats
Navigation radio
