    Tinted windows, swing cases x2, husky mats, LED bulb swap in and out, TRD shift knob, remote start, bed linex, tube steps, tonneau cover and more to come I’m sure..
    Went from an 18 limited (on the bottom) to a 22 4Runner TRD Pro and now happy to be back in an 19 platinum with 23k miles. Already deleted some chrome, added my “old man topper” as some would call it and not looking back. Some little things ill started changing below.

    - door handles to black
    - mirror caps to white
    - topper
    - Lumenex 7440 LED reverse bulbs
    - went back to the factory intake

    Future projects:
    - full interior LED swap
    - different wheels
    - front camera
    - head unit with apple car play

    Lol at least it’s the TRD exhaust. Wish it wasn’t chrome, but it’s nice to have some extra features from the 18.

    Friend has a new 4-Runner. I think he told me 16-18/19 mpg!

    V8 ain't bad compared to that!

    Honestly, we like the tundra better. I’m sure some peeps with a 4Runner will stand by their suv but it just wasn’t for us. The TRD Pro exhaust was extremely annoying.
    My viewpoints on the 22 4Runner pro and 19 Tundra :

    22 4Runner pro:
    Pros: nice ride, I liked the different cameras all around the car. (Even with low resolution).
    Cons: low power v6 getting 16 city and 17.5 hwy. Too small for our needs. Disliked the drone exhaust, probably the worst I’ve ever owned. Gear hunting on the highway gets a little annoying. Pedal lag, but the pedal commander helped.

    Going back to a tundra was predictable for me. Enjoy having vented seats and a V8. Kids love having all the room in the back seat. I’m good with losing 2 MPG.

    Agreed, I almost thought it was standard. I never used the ones I had in the past, so not a big deal. This is all it came with.

    Crazy. I am a window guy, I use mine all the time. In fact one of the selling points/things I love about the Tundra was the rear window rolls down
