Default metoo...

I'm shipping mine too from Texas up to Wisconsin. Have you found a carrier? I swear they swarm like vultures when you go looking. Good luck and great looking vehicle.

I got a carrier to pick it up in Columbia KY and drop off today in St. Louis. $571 which I didn’t think was too bad. Saved from taking a day off work. I used Jeff Solomon of Mercury Transport.

I ended up using Mercury too. Dealt with Jim and waiting on pickup time. Thanks and good luck!

I received the 460 today and have been driving around doing some errands and cleaning it up. My initial reactions are:

Quieter than the 4runner limited. Especially the engine noise.
More power but up the mountain to my house it doesn't downshift like I would like.
Very very comfortable ride. Better than I imagined.
Doesn't seem to sit up as high as the 4runner.
ML stereo beats the JBL
Not crazy about the ecru interior. Wish I would have got Sepia or Black
Not sure if I like the retracting seat and steering wheel on startup but I'm sure it will grow on me
Wish I could see the outside temp without going to the climate set up
Interior materials are much nicer than the T4R but may not hold up as well.

Thanks for everyones replies

• Try Sport Mode (Shifter off to the left) or if that doesn't work look into Pedal Commander. Many happy PC users here including myself

• You can turn off the seat and steering wheel movements in the Infotainment vehicle settings.

• 2012 they added outside temp to center display screen. It still shows up in climate controls as well.
