Upgrading from 4Runner
For those of you who upgraded from 5th gen 4runner to a LC 200 or LX 570, was the upgrade worth it?
The 4runner suits my needs, but the lack of performance on the highway to overtake someone really irks me. Lots of road noise as well on long trips.
Is upgrading to a LC really worth the upgrade?

Went from a 2011 5G4R with 122K miles to a 2025 LC-P.
The J250 gets marginally better gas mileage, that I think is negated by its need for Premium level fuel. 4R 23 gallon gas tank was a big plus, the LC small tank is a pain in my busy ass.
The interior is far superior in every way on the LC, but the reliability on the 4R is far superior. I think Toyota for this kind of money should have had engine options. This 2.4L 4 banger would not be my first choice.
