Tell me why not- 2022 Limited

For me, it's not just how much it costs to change out the 20s for 17s but also how much I spent on rims and tires that will never be used, will collect dust in my garage and will be difficult to get rid of.

I rode my 20"s for ~35k miles before I swapped them for 17"s. I lated sold 4 of my 20"s to a local buyer for probably $400 who put them on his 3rd gen 4R. (I had my spare stolen.)

I bought a set of 4x 17" OR from a guy who had the dealer add on Pro wheels, and later bought a set of 4x 17" OR + the stock Dunlops from a guy who bought aftermarket wheels.

So now, I have have a set of 5 17" OR wheels, which I prefer (plus I like the looks), and made a net gain on the transaction since I bought a set of wheels + unused tires (which saved me from buying new tires when 2nd set wore out). I also have 3 extra wheels laying around that I keep telling my wife I am selling, so she'd say she's lost on this deal, but she doesn't read this forum.

YMMV, I'm just saying there are particularly *easy* work arounds if you don't like the 20" wheels. What worked for me was very much cheaper than the Black Rhino wheels I was craving, and I really like the look of these OR wheels. And I actually love the 20" wheels, but took them off road and either got stuck (running HT) or got bounced and decided I needed a different approach.

Well, I am slightly jealous. I think if I were buying a couple of years ago when dealerships would negotiate on price, I would have gone the Limited route. At full MSRP, I couldn't afford the $50K. It took me months of mental gymnastics to talk myself into spending $45K on the ORP.

I wanted an OR with KDSS myself, but these aren't sold in my region and I needed a 3rd row. Maybe we can swap later after my kids are grown, but I suspect both of us will end up happy with what we've got. IMO, those who are unhappy with the 4R want a different style entirely and aren't quibbling over specifics.

At this point my only question is whether I will hand this of to one of my kids or aim for 300,000 miles myself. I'm almost at 140,000 now (2016).
