How fast are you comfort driving? Usual highway cruise speed?

I keep it at 75 max. Just does not feel that safe to me above 80. Floaty, it’s too top heavy, and the brakes. Feels incredibly unsafe to me at 85. I’ve a lot of xtra weight on board and my Daily is a Tesla p100D and at 0-60 in 2.2 and most of its weight under your feet, it feels very planted. I traded a Range Rover sport V8 supercharged for the 4Runner. 100 in the RR was not even working moderately hard. 500ft pound and an 8speed tranny. Have had multiple P cars and track experience. Still enjoying the 4Runner for what it is, and for me it’s definitely not a vehicle for speed.

Am nearing the end of a short getaway in the general Boise, Idaho area. It’s a short four hour drive here from my home. But I’ve been running the paved highways in the west central mountains and in the rain and I have no complaints. I was going to go up to a scenic semi-ghost town (been there before two decades ago), but it was raining pretty good and I didn’t want to take the steep, twisting dirt road up there. Dirt roads around here and in northern Nevada, even maintained, often take on a coating of a slick substance akin to greased snot.
