Good evening. Listing our 2016 TRD Pro 4Runner for sale. I bought the truck from the original owner who's a friend of a friend here in Charlotte, NC in the fall of 2018. He purchased it new from Lugoff Toyota across the border in SC and just used it as a daily for the past 2.5 years. I've added...

Brought the new to me '07 Land Cruiser home today. Ready to make a deal on the 4Runner :tea:

Oddly enough I get exact same feeling. One wouldn't think the 1/2" of padding would make that much difference but it does. Personally I like the new seating position. Visability is a bit better.

I just went the opposite direction - 32s (265/75s) to 33s (285/70s). Honestly there's not much of a difference mileage wise. Of course my 265s were "E" rated as well so if you go with a "C" or "D" rated tire then that could make a signifigant difference. Here's a few pics of my fully...
