If you are used to driving a car or car-like SUV then the ride of a Runner will definetly come off as being a bit harsh. As with any trail oriented SUV, which are based on truck frames, street performance is sacrificed for offroad ability. My advice, sell the 4Runner and get yourself an Escape, a RAV4 or CRV OR build that Runner into what she was meant to be a hardcore four wheelin' rig.
