New 4Runner Idle Stutter (non-hybrid)

Probably right, I'm in Florida so AC is on all the time. It's annoying though, you feel the car "bump" when it does it.
I have that issue. Took me a bit to correlate it to the AC clutch or compressor kicking on. Definitely quite the “shake” it produces, but I guess it’s “normal” from the standpoint that many others have reported it on the 4Runner & Tacoma..

It's the A/C. When that is on, the idle will dip slightly as the compressor kicks in.

Seems to
Seems like it kicks on every 30secs or less.
I assume by the comments we are dealing with non Hybrid here.

Non Hybrid here.
That makes sense. Hybrids have a electric compressor and it's super quiet so I assume no clutch involved.
On my truck I do notice a slight rpm fluctuation under 1000k and I think it's due to the ECU switching from port to direct injection. You can hear it too when outside the vehicle. D4S sounds very Diesel like.

My last car was a 2020 Highlanderz and the cars before that never exhibited that type of behavior. If they did, it wasn't noticeable as it is on the 4Runner. It's annoying feeling it engage during traffic stops or being parked.
I wonder if this is an issue with that AC compressor clutch on that part if it's happening in other vehicles with the same motor.
