There car's been great overall, my tank average fuel economy since late spring has been outstanding ( 4.6 L/100km which works out to better than 50 mpg). wintertime fuel economy isn't as good because the engine runs longer when stone cold and more often to get up to or keep at optimal running temperature. So short trips+below freezing temps.= running more on fuel & less on battery. It depending on the road surface you drive on of course, but it seems to me that too much road noise gets transmitted through the body. They could have spent a little bit more on some sound deadening, perhaps.
Reviews of OEM Toyota parts For Business

4th gen is notorious for drive shaft clunk, needs greasing about every other oil change. Grease completely makes it go away, for me at least.
All I've done/had done for maintenance is a few oil changes, replaced the alternator and serpentine belt, had rear brake pads and rotors replaced, replaced the battery, new tires, and new headlight bulbs. Nothing too complicated or expensive
Hilux (2018) - 185km with just tire, brakes and drive train (after 6 years)
Always use a Toyota oil filter.
And honestly the eCVT that Toyota uses, with the rear motor unit for AWD (no actual driveshaft) seems to be working great. The steady RPM on acceleration is a little weird at first, but you get used to it.
OEM forsure when it comes to such a critical part. Wish I went OEM the first time. Thing lasted for 18 years
My 1996 Super Custom has over 400k on the clock, had to do the head last year thanks to worn out injectors and a dead fan clutch.
Freaking windshield is a magnet for rocks on the street. Funny when I park by another 4Runner I keep looking for the vin# so far everyone I check have a replacement already
Over 15 years, I’ve put 4 windshields in my 2010. Prior to my 4Runner - 0.0 windshields in all other cars combined.
