Maybe but our hybrid max engine does not run for 20 hours idling. Engine shuts down after few mins and battery is running all the systems. Having said that there is still that possibility of port mechanics keeping the engine running on other cars for that long. If you run any piston engine for...
Simple guide for someone who does not have the knowledge of what it takes to break in the engine. Let it Rev through all it's rpm but don't hold it at same rpm for too long. You dint need 1000 miles to break in. If done correctly you could be done with break in period in 200 miles at the most...
I'm afraid I have to disagree. Does not sit idling at the port for 20 hours. If you do that to any piston engine, you have ruined itโjust a matter of time. Furthermore, read up on bedding in procedure. Thirty-five years in piston and jet engine maintenance and overhaul here, plus not retired...

Yes I tried them during test drive. Works great for gearing down. Impressed with the tech. Of course coming from model Y it's extremely slow, but way faster than 5th gen 4runner.
If you are worried go with option two or wait for option 3. I am assuming you are not planning to drive it hard, and if so go with option 3, and you will be fine.
Black is good but you need to keep it clean. Gets dusty very quick and swirl marks show up. Also gets hot in summer. But other than these minor points black is beautiful as they say. Loved my 5th gen black
