One of my friends works for toyota who has had the new 4R black sr5 for the past week (doesn't go on sale until the 16th for hawaii). I saw him tonight and went for a test drive. First impression is I love it! Interior is very nice. Seats are comfortable, dash layout nice, usb port in glove box is cool, auto up/down for all windows. Party mode feature is pretty dope!

Engine performance is great. When the rpms get around 4k you feel the new vvti kick in, and it sort of pulls you back into the seat. Much better then the previous 4.0, and I have supercharged 4.0 and it impressed me. This new 4.0 is nice! No more engine ticking which is awesome. Oil filter has been located to the center of the motor in front of the oil pan very easy to change the filter. Just remove the skid plate and full access. Truck only has 110 miles on it and we're flooring it around, and its currently getting only 13mpg lol.

:thumb3: I see you noted that the interior was nice. Can you give more details on the materials quality? Is the dash hard plastic or soft to the touch? As you can see, I'm more interested in the the petty little details :pimp:
 
i was at the dealer yesterday, they were prepping one so i sat in it it felt
good but the dash is plastic same feel as the tundra cheap. my old man as a ls400 older one and the interior is built tough I compare all cars to that

Well, I can say the only reason a Tundra isn't in my driveway right now is due to the cheap, hard interior plastic. Maybe, it's just me, but any vehicle costing over $30 grand and especially ones at 40 and above should have decent quality interior materials. I like the interior style of the new 4runners, but I will have an issue with the cheap plastic :wtf: Toyota needs to change their ways! They are going backwards while all other manufacturers are going forward. It's sad to see...
