    Yep, it's very handy. The downside is foul weather. I drive a lot in cold places and snow and ice make the radar useless in no time.

    Cup holders --- seriously
    I'd never had a vehicle with cup holders until 2017 when I bought my 2018 OR ... so I don't get super annoyed when the inserts stick to my cup. Better than the alternative and the many uncomfortable spills.

    My 4Runner was the first vehicle I ever owned that motivated me to join a forum like this.
