I am currently working on a video in which I compare both the new 4Runner and the new Tacoma. While they are pretty similar, I do feel that the 4R is clearly the better built version along with better feeling materials too upon initial impressions. I do however think that the Tacoma looks better though than the new 4R...I'll admit that.

4Runner Pros:
Softer seats/ higher quality
Smoother ride on the road
Made in Japan quality. Zero rattles (so far)
More rear seat space

Tacoma Pros:
Acoustic glass
Better front end design
Currently more mods
Larger "cargo" area with the bed

Jon, I think (not positive) the Tacoma only has acoustic glass on the front side windows, and only for TRD-ORP and above. I take it you thought it was noticeably quieter inside the Tacoma even without measuring interior noise with a sound level meter? I wonder if windshield rake angle or other aero things in the body differences enter into it too. Front air dam removed from both (no idea if that makes it quieter but it looks like (in the pics) it's still installed on the 4runner)?

PS you can get a decent sound level meter on Amazon for 50 bucks or less. It's a useful gadget to have.
