How many miles are you? I'm at 2,400 and no rattles - completely solid all around. You sure your rattle isn't your sunglasses in the sunglass holder - someone else on here had that problem. Regarding the alignment, did you hit a curb or pothole?
By the way, my '03 Explorer was in the shop at least 10 times in the seven years I owned it (and I think 10 is an understatement).

You say Toyota could add the missing things for $2k but people are already whining about the prices as it is and those options would add up to most likely over $4000 to the price and then you figure it over say 20,000 4Runners and the prices add up for Toyota too and you end up with a $41-43k SR5 and the Limited would encroach close to the $50k mark which isn't reasonable when the Lexus is close to that price range.
Like I said before Toyota is narrowing the focus for the 4Runner realizing some customers will be lost and some will be gained as they aren't making any more 4Runners than they can sell.

Around 2000 miles. Dashboard rattles on the passenger side.Haven't hit any potholes. Maybe driving over railroad tracks might have cause the dashboard to rattle and the alignment problem. It shouldn't have. Taken it in this week to get the alignment fixed. Hope to be able to track down the rattle and fix it myself.

06 SR5 to 10 SR5
Personally I love my SR5. I went from having a 2006 SR5 to the 2010 SR5 and there's not really much that I miss from the old one. I do miss the mud flaps but I will either learn to live with it, find a carwash, or buy some aftermarket. My 06 had he led tail lights and they were wonderful but come on really how much time do you spend following your own vehicle to see the led tail lights? Are they really that important? I know mine on the 2010 can be seen just as well as my old led's could be. For everything that is added from the 2010 (sat radio, bluetooth, remote start, heated seats, auto up and down on the windows) I can think of much less that I miss about my 06. For my vote and for my money the 2010 T4R was the best option. I work in an industry where "quality control" is extremely important and nothing I have seen listed as a "quality complaint" is a true quality issue. You have to realize what is a problem with engineering and what is a problem with operator malfunction or owner dislike, there is a major difference. Hope you learn to like the vehicle as much as clearly the rest of us do or that you are able to find one that meets your needs and expectations.

Zero defects. The best quality of any of the 20+ new cars I have owned.

This would be an easy way to deal with the mast antenna as well. Just offer an auto retracting mast as an accessory. I wonder if they could offer a manual transmission kit.

I've had retracting mast antenna in the past. Never again.

I have had them stick partway before but not in a Toyota. My 99 SR5 4Runner mast has worked w/o a hitch since new.
That's why I like the accessory ideal. You don't have to buy; I can.

all in all, initial quality seems way above average...

poor choice of words on my part. More proper term would be cost and corner cutting when it came down to final details of this suv. For heaven sakes, forget the kdss, add all the other stuff i mentioned, and its $1000 tops!
