Absolutely the Best Grease

Whichever one you believe is the absolutely best/highest quality grease
Where and how do you plan on using it for your 4Runner?
Makes no difference.
if his Caisson is rolling along over hills, dales and dusty trails, it must have ARMY grease. If he wants to heavy drop into the party then probably riser lube will do
I don't know about any of that. I'm simply commenting what works for me. I actually learned about the marine grease "trick" from a long time mechanic who worked on vehicles day in and day out for decades. The new owner who took over his shop is continuing to service all the chassis that come through his shop with the same product.
Where does a 2020 4Runner require grease?

Just like engine oils they are all good if the correct type/grade for the application is used.
Biggest thing you can do is change a re lube as required.

I own a 2005 and a 2017 4Runner. I purchased both new and have used whatever grease I had in my gun at the time. I grease them at every oil change and have had no issues or any signs of impending doom.
If you even think of grease, you're two steps ahead of most owners.

That sucks, I'm glad mine are sealed. Why would they make greasable driveshafts on a vehicle that will likely be used for soccer taxiing and grocery fetching?
200,000 miles on my original ball joints using synthetic grease. Good enough for me. Brand is Motomaster but it’s the same as Mystic synthetic.
My general purpose grease is Mystic JT-6 Hi-Temp in the red tube. That stuff is sticky icky and does not leak from my grease gun.
I think the best grease is bacon grease, it probably better tasting than molybdenum disulfide grease. This is a silly topic. The best grease depends on your application, great grease for ball joints or trailer wheel hub bearings is going to be a disaster for your brake caliper slide pins.

I whole-heartedly disagree. The best grease is clearly the 1971 musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. In the 1978 cinematic rendition, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John we're brilliant in their interpretations of Danny Zuko and Betty Rizzo. Their personas were so impactful that even today people recognize the iconic nature of their performance, even though the movie was made some 20 years before they were born.
If it's the same as all the Toyota trucks from 5+ years ago when I worked in the express lube they are the easiest grease fittings ever to access. No reason not to have them. Only GM trucks had greasable front end and they always lasted longer. My 80s cars for front ends lasted forever. All greasable.

Not really, I googled all of that, haha, I don't remember names very easily. Hell, I forgot John Travolta's name and had to look it up!
Probably crossed the lines while I was copypastaing.
I've been using Masterpro high temperature disc brake and wheel bearing grease. So far so good.

To each his own, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't want to have to grease a driveshaft, so all of mine are sealed.
