I would go for a trip in 4Runner, just make sure you follow manual for break-in period, i.e. no towing, no excessive speed, smooth acceleration/breaking, no driving long time at the same speed etc. Basically normal smooth driving with not using cruise control.

I've rarely used the cruise control in any of my cars with the exception of certain areas with known speed traps. My Maverick didn't have it, so I don't miss it and won't be using it on this trip. It can wait for some other trip.

To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.

• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods

Seems vague, what is excessive? Also I drove mine home from dealership 250 miles mostly highway . I tried to vary speeds but was a 4.5 hour trip.
