If your 4R is a new one, then my word is the law about this, at least as far as 2619/2720 are concerned.
Rickst29, not to ambush this topic, but given your unique experience (assuming a 2720), is there any reason to buy the new 8 cylinder 4runner versus the 6, or are the differences trivial under average conditions (i.e. occasional mountain use, within weight limits)? Thanks - I'm a potential new TM owner (2720SL).
