Let me get this straight.
Your wife is trying to trade in YOUR 4Runner for a car/wagon thing SHE likes better?
I suppose the concept of "I drive what I want, you drive what you want" is confusing to her? Or perhaps she's been "empowered" over time by conditioning you in situations like this to...
1) What complaints?
2) Labor intensive mods? They're optional....and they'd be "labor intensive" on any vehicle.
3) You'd base a decision on a new car, in any way, based on a friggin slide out try?
Not sure on the actual capacity but mine easily holds 3-4k rounds of ammo, and a pile of nasty, icky rifles. For outdoor shooting its actually helpful. Beyond that I never use it and could do just fine without it all together.
The only thing about the Xspx-x that I would have any interest in are the carbon fiber interior parts.
The rest of that video linked above made my head hurt.
BFG A/T is a decent compromise between on road/off road tread.
I went with BFG A/T 275/70/17's, on a Toytec 2.5"/1.5" leveling kit on my 13 TE. The Toytec kit uses a billet aluminum spacer in front, which will never compress like other composite spacers.

Funny you should mention that.....I was just wondering if I could squeeze a 275/70/17 in the spare area. Right now it's the OEM 265/70/17 spare.....but I'd like a matching tire.
