    Yep. A 4" wider turning radius. But it gained better approach and departure angles.

    Yes it did. But I still scraped my hitch in Moab like fingernails on a chalkboard.

    The new tacoma is bad, but the tundra is absolutely brutal.

    The higher caster translates into a much nicer ride though, less complaints of vibrations and harshness.

    You don't have to go to Moab to scrape your hitch. Mine scraped on a fairly well graded access road that went through some ravines (~20' deep with steep inclines). And again, in a dirt parking lot where I was at the outskirts and had to pull over a small rock. Has me considering a lift even though I don't plan on any "serious" off-roading.

    17k miles and I’ve never experienced screen glare that makes it unreadable. Never really any issues with glare at all from the screen. I do have my front door windows tinted. Maybe that makes a slight difference.

    My wife’s Land Rover has awful glare on the screen however.

    I do get glare off my white hood at times.

    3G power delivery is probably what sold a lot of buyers on the 5G 2.3t Ranger, that's what had me looking at 2021 Rangers. That's the direction Toyota took along with GM.

    I'd also look at the Jeep Wrangler 2dr for anyone concerned about turning radius and might travel offroad. I believe the 3.6 pentastar NA engine is still avaible from Jeep on the 2dr Wrangler for 2025, if you want to avoid their 2.0t.
