I sold my 5th gen for a 4th gen with a v8. Problem solved.

I thought the same thing when going from my 2006 to 2010 and 2014. I was told they are just geared different. But the 2006 would run circles around the 5th gen

You can always re gear the 5th gen.

Seeing as I still have my 4th: yes. Definitely.
The way it shifts is very different.

5th likes to run in higher gears, presumably to improve mpg. So I have to stomp on it to get things moving at a more-than-sedate pace.
Especially after adding bumper, winch and sliders.

But it’s fine. I’m getting used to just taking it a bit slower.

No, but the 5th gen is heavier I think.

Just don’t be in a rush to go anywhere. I didn’t buy my 4runner to go fast

Hard for me to say I had the v8 in my 4th gen. I loved that motor. Smooth , quiet , decent mileage , lots of power.

Just be glad it didnt get the 3.5l like the new Tacoma did, tons of those owners complain the older 4.0 was way stronger. Toyota really does need a V8 option for these trucks, however for the love of God .. Don’t make it AWD again.. No thanks on that
