Auto High Beams on 2020 4Runner—Everyone like them or not implemented well?

The 20 is the same exact truck as the 15-19, except is has “car play” and “safety sense” garbage for all the man bun wearing hipsters. They are very easy to spot by the butthurt the have when i make comments about how lame the 4runner is. They also make threads about the “new” colors coming out lol.

One of them wants to make-out with me.

Weirdo’s.

Haha your lack of knowledge on the differences is comical and your justification for your current older vehicle versus the same vehicle with improvements and changes is sad. Often times its the biggest dummy in the room that lies to himself to make themselves feel better. Its probably genetic, so don't blame yourself too much.

You live in a fantasy land. Wash off the lipstick, go outside and breath some fresh air. Not everyone has to agree with you, everything will be ok.

Having a differing opinion is obviously fine, especially here on Al Gore's internet. You talked shit to someone because they asked about their new car, so don't be surprised when you get it back. You pretending to be alpha and/or tough is really embarrassing (especially when you wouldn't say any of that ridiculous nonsense to someone in person), even more than your logic or the lack thereof. I can't tell if you're a really young, uneducated kid or an older, angry, uneducated one. Either way, its apparent that you're not clever or intelligent. A lot of the times, having a life less worthwhile is one's own fault. Don't be mad at others for it. Good luck.

Seems slow to respond on my 2020 SR5P, I'm still used to manually flipping high beams on/off.

I also wished the SR5P had auto low beam headlights though.
 
I've found they're just too slow for comfort. I tend to anticipate oncoming vehicles since I can see their headlights as I approach a bend (for example) and turn off my high beams, where as the system needs to wait until it sees headlights to turn off. For me that's unacceptable because I'm still blinding someone for a brief moment.

I haven't messed with them on long straight sections of road with oncoming vehicles, but my general rule of thumb is if I can see headlights my highs are off. Even if they're a point light in the distance approaching me.

I would have much rather preferred to have auto-headlights (on/off) than auto-high beams.

Side note: this thread is a perfect example of how people get off topic and just start talking trash on forums for no reason. I might be new here, but I'm not new to automotive forums. It's exhausting. In some ways I wish there was comment moderation, but I recognize that would be a lot of work.
 
I don't find them to be all that helpful, they work, but my instincts on when to turn to low beams differs from the machine so I'm regularly feeling like it isn't right.

I would have much rathered they gave us auto on/off headlights like every other car I have owned in the last decade.

That said if you are looking for features to justify a 2020 I really like CarPlay and auto cruise control. Both are great for long drives and CarPlay plus Gaia GPS app gives you off road trail maps in your head unit.

How are you finding Gaia with Carplay? I can't seem to be able to get it to display my routes...

And to keep on topic, the Pro and Limited have auto on/off headlights so it's available in 2020, just trim dependent.
 
I am convinced that 2020 4Runner owners are really just Highlander owners pretending to be men.


How does this help answer the OP's question? There are people on this forum that are here to learn and don't want to hear your mocking BS.

Guess how i know my original general statement makes you upset days later?

I'm looking to get a 2020 SR5 Premium so the push button start, the larger 8 in touchscreen navigation, and CarPlay are features that are useful. I'd basically add those features on later with a stereo navigation update which would be expensive anyway.

Toyota Safety Sense including the headlights come standard on the 2020 4Runners but honestly after reading through this thread as well as doing other research my take on it that is "meh"...

Agreed, I'm the original poster and really just trying to learn about 4Runners again since I'm trying to decide on getting a 2020 or one that's a few years old. My current car is a Mustang so that's pretty far off from a Highlander.

I've been on the internet long enough to laugh at morons. Easily said, you're a guy with a bad life so you try to flex on the internet since your actual life is a dreary one of a plebe. Have a good day!

Ignore the guy. Hes clearly a jealous dummy. And as far as the 2020 Runner, its good. I had a 19 and upgrade. Many differences that make the car more enjoyable on a day to day basis. Interior gauge cluster is different and more modern without the red and blue graphics out of a Matrix. Center information display is larger with better resolution. Auto headlights and auto high beams are nice. Distance controlled cruise is good if you do a lot of long trips. Line warning is just a beep. The head unit is larger and offers Carplay and Android Auto. It is wired, but well worth it. There are usb plugs for back passengers. Climate control is the one from the Limited in some models (not sure which). All the interior changes make for a nice in-car experience as it looks and feels more modern. The And the keyless entry is great. Throw the keys in your pocket and never need them for anything again. Control everything, see fuel level, locks, start vehicle from the app. All in all, worth it if the money isn't an issue.

Yet you are the one explaining yourself in every single reply....weird.
 
I’ve had auto high beams in two previous cars (Mazda6 and Golf R) and it seems to work the same on the 4Runner. I haven’t used it much since I usually drive in town with plenty of light but seemed to work ok when I tried it a few times.
