I find it comical you are trying to be the authority on a truck you dont own and i do.
Your right,they are the same given they updated the engine, terrain response, nav system, brakes, refreshed the front and rear and the whole interior but it's the same...you're so right since the shape of the truck is the same and cars dotcom knows all.:lol:
Since I actually own the vehicle and did my own actual extensive research and didn't just leave it to cars dotcom to tell me the difference, I think I know what I'm talking about.
Again, for the 3rd time, the original post that I commented on was asking about both onroad and offroad in the same class. I stated my opinion and also qualified that the lr4's reliability will probably not be better than 4runner. I think we have established that last point pretty well now, don't you think?
I'm sure you will google more now or talk to your lr3 friend to bring more "authoritative" info to enlighten me.
