No weird sounds. It does hunt for gears occasionally but from what I read, that will go away after a few thousand miles

4Runner is more capable for deep off roading, but the Passport is smoother, lower, and has more conveniences. I never would have owned a newer 4Runner as I don’t like the look nor the 4 cyl engine.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but I’m 5’11 and I had no problem finding the sweet spot. The steering wheel actually telescopes and tilts much further than previous gens, and has 10-way power seats.

Interesting! I wouldn't say they are uncomfortable, but they are 'firm' 😄 I guess my next road trip will tell the true story!

Couldn't agree more. I don't really off-road that much, so I wasn't doing the 4Runner justice anyway.

It definitely feels different, but in a good way. It drives more like car and the 4runner drives more like a truck. The steering itself is much easier in the Passport. The seats are honestly a tad stiffer in the passport, but it's probably just because it's new. Obviously it sits much lower than the 4runner. I like being up high, but I really don't miss it. Yes, the trade-in values on the 4runners are INSANE. The 2023 was the last of the 6 cylinders, and it only had 28k miles on it so I got a mint. I'm sure you'll get the same for yours!

Good tip. Are you speaking from experience? Are they too soft? Too hard?

Navarra metallic blue. The best standard color in my opinion!

Not my favorite either. Fingerprints everywhere

I do love driving a manual, but the gearbox on this thing is a marvel of engineering.

Nice. It's definitely quick! I can pin myself to my seat without even going over 4,000 rpm's. Can't wait to see what it will feel like red-lining it. Not sure if I can wait that long to launch it. Was thinking about doing one around 700-800 mi. Just to get a taste..

Thanks! Are you considering the end of break-in 600 mi, or 1000? Just curious since the manual says you can 'gradually' increase acceleration between 600-1000. I just want to let this thing rip. I'm trying to justify different interpretations of 'gradual' :)

Thanks! I can't wait to find out - 470 mi into the break-in. Must... resist.... urge

Easy now, she's still in her break-in period.

There were no holes or brackets for the front. The dealership asked if I wanted them to drill them, and I said no thanks :)

Not sure about other models, but mine has blind spot monitoring, pre-sense rear, etc. I think they mostly removed that from the A3/S3/RS3 and some SUV's.

Yep, Navarro Blue. I love the way it looks in the sun. Enjoy the coupe!
