33” tire vs 37”
Open front/rear diffs( brake based lockers at least) vs full lockers
He also has front sway bar disconnect
A lot more travel

Then he can also haul ass in the desert, guessing a lot people on this board would enjoy that.

Yeah I’d really like to try doing some off roading but the kind of off roading you can do on the east coast isn’t terribly appealing, as it involves a lot of mud and bugs and very slow speeds through woods.

I didn’t realize. I thought the 4Runner had lockable front and rear. My bad.

Some have a rear locker but no factory front lockers, mine is a SR5 which does not. New Tacoma and Land Cruiser have an option for front sway bar disconnect.
