Toyota uses the same steering wheels for the Lexus (the leather wrapped ones). On the GX470's equipped with nav, there is a voice command button on the steering wheel. The top two slots are also empty on the Lexus. You would think they would integrate the cruise control buttons in those empty slots.

Yup, on most models, the right side is for voice navigation. The Land Cruiser also has buttons for bluetooth and the Sienna has buttons for the "dynamic cruise control".
I really want the audio controls, I still can't get over how they come standard on all RAV4's, but SR5 4Runner's don't have them standard.

The cruise control stalk on the 4Runner is new to me, but I found that I really like how easy it is to use. In my opinion, it is much easier and intuitive than steering wheel mounted buttons.
I used it on a 7-hour drive to Pittsburgh last weekend and had it down pat in no time!
I especially like that you can tap the stalk up or down to increase/decrease your speed in 1 MPH increments. With steering wheel buttons, I would have to make sure that I was tapping the correct button.....

I agree that the stick is easy to use. I just think it is more convenient to have the buttons on the steering wheel itself so you don't have to move your hand around. I don't know about anybody else, but with the audio controls, I don't have to move my hand an inch or look down to adjust it. Toyota has had that stick around for awhile. I remember it as far back as on the 1996 Avalon.
