Has anyone owned or driven both an 03-05 and 06-09?

I drove my buddy's 4runner today (08) to see how his acceleration was compared to my 05. His gas pedal was a lot more sensitive. Mine seemed pretty stiff in comparison. Could this just be because mine is older or is it a new design? Any ideas?

Didn't notice in the accelerator pedal difference as you are speaking. I did notices using the same amount of pedal, how the 08 would shift sooner and smother with a extra gear in the trans.

Previous 04 new off the lot,( no longer have) and a 08, 39k bought used. definitely like the additional control features now than the prior 4r.

Yeah I have an 05 with the 5 spd tranny. Just seemed like his had way better throttle response. Is there a way to adjust pedal sensitivity?

Did your friend's have a 3" lift and ARB too? Different tire sizes? From my 03 v8 to my dads 08 v6 I don't notice much difference TBH.

3" lift and ARB would make a sizable difference in the feel. LOL.

Just put my street 30.5 tires back on with the SB, big difference.

Could have just been learned programming?

My dad has an 05 SE 4x4 V8 and I have had all the 4R's in my sig, my 2008 is the best of them.

:bolt:I am on my second 03 V8 2WD. The first was a sport the second is an SR5 and they both drive the same acceleration wise because the sport engine is in the SR5. I actually had to swap the engine from my totaled sport into a SR5 i purched with a bad motor. My dads 08 V8 limited is a little different as it has the variable valve timing. His is also 4WD.
