2023 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro — new model reveal: what matters beyond the headline specs?

A new model just dropped and the headline numbers look good, but I'm more interested in curb weight, wheel/tire sizes, real rear-seat room, charging/fueling, repairability and what features are locked behind packages. Any data points from owners would help.

Low-voltage gremlins will strand you even with a full pack. Try a second charger before blaming the 2023 Toyota 4Runner — site sharing and pack temp change the curve a lot. That's where I'd start. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

Don't clear the alert just to make the screen pretty. Leave the alerts on the 2023 Toyota 4Runner so service can see what you saw. Then you'll know the next fork. The universe charges extra for guessing. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

Asking because it changes the advice: Match starting SOC and battery temp if you're comparing 2023 Toyota 4Runner charge sessions. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Upstate New York. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. Checking again after work.

I'd treat 12V warnings as a no-ignore. On the 2023 Toyota 4Runner, I'd get the 12V/DC-DC side checked even if the traction pack looks fine. I'd do that before spending real money. On “new model reveal: what matters beyond the,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2023 Toyota 4Runner in Upstate New York. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. I'll poke at it this weekend.
