Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. factory new car, all original (yes, I'm boring haha) In my experience with sedans, the more modern sloping hoods caused more stones to hit the windshield, but those were generally single events causing spot damage (possible cow eyes), those I've...

I just upgraded from a '22 4Runner TRD-Off Road (with KDSS) to a '23 GX 460 Lux, with the 19" rims. The 17" sidewalls do absorb a bit (but the 19" give way more predictable cornering), however, the rear suspension on the 4R has much more travel and has a much softer setup. I find myself slowing...
