Picked up last Wednesday. Manual. About 150 miles thus far. Spent time varying RPMs and speeds due to some highway driving. Some snow and mud. 4A works well! Crawl gear heading downhill on snow and ice is great. Fender stickers gone! Love the feeling thus far.
Echoing what a lot of others have said. We have a 2018 4 Runner (auto tranny) with a manual shifter to change between 2H/4H/4L. I just bought my new manual Badlands home this past Wednesday.

Congrats! I just booked XPEL/ceramic for early next week. How much and which windows are you planning to tint? AZ is obviously a little different than NH, but pondering whether to at least have the rear 3 windows tinted on my 2-door
Too bad you are not closer.....manual tranny, it is fantastic in snow/ice. I am selling it with the Hakkas/winter wheels and OEM summer tires. My wife drives out to guide on Mt. Baker every year.....maybe she can tow it out to you behind her 4Runner.... :ROFLMAO:. Regardless, with the right...
Thanks for the updates on the Nokians. I've been using Hakka R3s on current and past VW Golf Rs.....we have tons of hills and dirt around us in rural NH.......those tires make the AWD Golf unstoppable on ice and/or non-deep snow on top of ice (car is too low to drive in deep snow).
