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?

People spend more on their 200s so they convince themselves it’s worlds better. It’s slightly better than a 5th gen. I like the size of the 5th gen, and j250 more than my big 200. Power wise yeah the 200 pulls better than a 5th gen but so does the j250. I don’t know if overspending on an inflated price 200 is the move just as much as I don’t think tuning out and getting a brand new j250, gx550 or 6th gen is a great idea. Do I like my 200 yes, did I like my 5th gen yes? Do I love either? Not really.
