I have a Pearl White 2017 4Runner Limited, bought brand new and have put 70,000-miles on it. I will be going up for sale in a few months.

The Goods:

1) Toyota Reliability..only issue to date was one blown JBL speaker ($200)
2) Not bad looking especially with the factory 20" wheels - aged well
3) Well screwed together
4) Smooth shifting transmission
5) Does not require premium fuel
6) Decent interior space

The Bads:

1) The 4L V6 is extremely anemic and is underpowered
2) 19mp/g avg is surprisingly low
3) The ride is harsh
4) Boring to drive
5) The tech is average for one of the most expensive Toyotas, for example the quality of the back-up camera, ICE, mediocre vented seats, no lane assist etc
6) Oil changes are overly complicated

Overall, not a bad truck.
If you love driving, this is not the vehicle for you, if you need a good all rounder to get the job done, then it is.

I feel like Toyota were watching in the wings to see what their competitors were doing instead of leading the pack like they used to do. This could have been an incredible truck, but Toyota stopped at the 75% mark.

My 4 Runner is identical to this one:
