I’m considering buying the 4Runner because, when I test drove both the 4Runner and RAV4, I felt like I sat up much higher in the 4Runner.

Sitting higher makes it easier to avoid the glare of bright oncoming headlights at night and improves my overall visibility.

However, I noticed the 4Runner has a ground clearance of 9.2 inches, while the RAV4 Hybrid has 8.1 inches—only about a one-inch difference.

If the ground clearance is so close, I’m wondering how much higher the driver eye height actually is in the 4Runner compared to the RAV4.

For context, I’m 5’1”, so this difference really matters to me.

Thanks!
