    Looking to get some advice on buying a new 4runner SR5 Premium. Should I go with the 2018 or 2019 model. I know that Toyota changed the suspension in the 2019 model. Only off road driving would be to go on the beach so I would prefer the one that has a smoother ride on the road/lasts longer versus better performance when off roading.

    19 pro. the payment difference is nominal for what you'll be getting. plus the fox suspention is smoother than the 18 sr5

    The same 4Runner everyone has
    Not in the SR5, only the Pro switched from Bilstein to Fox shocks. All other runners have been the exact same truck since 2014.

    Get the 18 if you still can. It should be cheaper and there is no difference when it comes to the SR5.
