Here is my story about suggestions for the next generation of 4Runner www.torquenews.com/6626/next-gen-2022-toyota-4runner-coming-and-enthusiasts-offer-redesign-suggestions
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Atlas Leonel I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Right Lane Hog agreed 100%. In fact a used GX gets into crazy value territory.... then there’s that f&?$ing swinging rear door... and all the camera gear I have to unload out of the back in urban areas / street parking = no go. So sad. So it would be the Limited for me I guess. Mostly for the all time 4wd and vertical / power rear door.
@@dylanfgarrison I was thinking that the swinging rear door on the GX might possibly affect your ability to access the rear storage area with certain types of trailers attached.
@@rightlanehog3151 I'm sure it would. So there you go, urban or rural use, it's not going to work for a lot people. And yet, people have been buying it since the early 2000's when that truck debuted in the US. They couldn't ALL be little old ladies who carry nothing in the back could they???
Limited - Nightshade Edition in Blizzard Pearl (AWD). Just took delivery of mine about a week ago...my 7th lease from my local dealer since 1996! LOVE Toyota! Thank you for posting/sharing!
Between my wife and I we’ve had 11 4runners 3rd, 4th and 5th generation since 2002. All limiteds, love them. Although I did upgrade this year to a 2019 Land Cruiser. Needed a change 😀. All great vehicles, never lost a dollar on them.
@@RichardsWorld , you can get Limited either with Full Time 4WD or with 2WD. However, I’m not quite sure why would anyone pick body on frame SUV with 2WD. But I guess that makes it even more reliable.
I bought a 2019 this past Friday 2/2019. I am just starting to enjoy it. I see up high and see everything. You would be surprised what is going on in other vehicles???
Just bought a 2019 4Runner on 2/2019! You sit up high and see everything! You would be surprised what you see going on inside other cars on the road??? I just noticed that if you take your foot of the gas pedal and coast, the engine breaking on auto down shifts works really well before you apply the breaks! Just like a Harley Davidson!!! Appears the Japanese are paying attention to what we like!!!😎
Don’t listen to terry I’ve owned my limited since 2019 bought it brand new and I love the damn thing the red interior is awesome and drives so much smoother than a sr5 (which I had owned prior)
@@tomsawyer1954 20k down? You don't know me. Sit down already and stop flapping your gums meathead. You must have gotten beat up alot growing up. All I hear outta you is insecurities and big mouth, with superiority complex. It's kinda sad. You sound like a clown of a human
I’m only in my mid twenties but I would chose the limited simply because I have dogs and soon want to start a family. I also live in the Great Plains states where it gets cold, like -54° F with the wind chill. So I’d choose the limited for easy to clean and wipe seats, better quality, and also heated which is a number one for me! The limited is worth the extra money in the long run because the leather will hold up better than cloth, and for both SR5 and Limited getting the same gas mileage it’s worth just getting the limited for the extra features.
im running on a 2001 4runner and STILL breaking necks. its waaay over 200, 000 miles and running Smoove. if you asked me, the SR5 will save you a bunch on technological breakdowns the limited will cost in the long run.
Tzu Tran I also have 2001 SR5 and I’m almost at 300,000 miles. Runs smoothly and has stood the test of time. Most importantly, it’s reliability is like no other vehicle. Love it!!
the price of 4runner goes up in few years , but keep in mind its Made in Japan , quality and manufacturing is good , only i am waiting to see 2020 model because if Toyota add goodies and change enigne its gonna be super cool .
Irfan I don’t want them to change the engine, it’ll probably be the 3.5L n/a or 3.5L turbo. Only engine I would want is the 4.0 with a supercharger or a turbo option. I do want a new redesign but I hope the stick to body on frame and the original 4.0 because that motor is BULLETPROOF. I am holding my cash until 2020 and I seriously hope they impress me because I will get the top model if they stick to reliability vs. modernizing. I’m just excited, sorry.
@@YoursDadsMomDaddy the 2020 wont be a redesign, i think 2021 it might come out. Theres a new tacoma major refresh coming in 2020 and a new highlander refresh in 2020. But these babies laastttt! japan made is goooood! Better than jeep grand cherokee as far as reliability.
I have the SR5 Premium. Looked at the Limited but passed because it is more luxury than I needed. The only option on the Limited I would have liked on the SR5 is the auto air conditioning/heating.
Same here and that's all you need is the sr5 premium gives you a little bit of the fancier stuff and the little fancy and stuff on the body and then the wheels don't bother me cuz I just changed my wheels out to bead lock wheels.
I bought my 2019 SR5 for $27k from Hertz and their Chapter-11 sale. Love it as the back section holds my wheelchair upright, saving space for suit cases, camping gear etc.. For the price an can always upgrade it with OEM parts such as skid plates, etc, depending on my budget at the time.
Just got a 2017 sr5 premium. Love this thing! Its got the feel of a truck and both kids love the space they have. Also the back window is a game changer! The wife is so jealous.
@@nickanthony90 depending on where you live you might prefer awd, like in icy or rainy areas. The limited is better for those scenario vs the TRD pro for instance where you can enable 4wd only at low speeds.
@@crBudgetWatches only at low speeds? I had a 91 Cherokee many years ago that that statement was very true with. 4wd only worked at low speed. I then had a 2002 xterra and I could turn 4wd on and use it on the highways. As long as I wasn't in 4 low. I would imagine now 15 + years later that this technology has gotten even better. I just don't trust awd systems and their sensors that wait for something to slip before the other tires pick up the slack. If it's icy out, I just want to turn on my 4x4 and go about my merry way knowing that all 4 tires are working for me.
Bought a 2019 Premium TRD Off Road in Silver on Feb 7. Wanted the bells and whistles that my previous 2017 SR5 didn’t have. It was an awesome truck, but my new baby is the icing on the cake. Luv it and luv Toyota since 1996.
Sr5. Like how it looks better and one thing he left out is that the limited has a tighter tuned suspension. The sR5 is a lot looser and therefore has more body role but the ride is a lot smoother than the limited because of that...
Yiu missed the crucial part part. I ow. Two 4runners the limmited and the trd pro. My wife drives the limmited. The limmited has the sport suspension xras it's the only 4runner to have that. What it basically does is it has a reservoir hyrdolic pump on each side of the 4runner where as you turn, the dash remains level and strait using the opposite side oil reserve to bring fluid into the side tha leans on turns. You can put your wallet on the dash and it won't slide around, your passengers also dont feel the turns. It's a very simple and effective design. Vs the Germans electronical nightmare. It also has no dip in the suspension height when you tow. It self adjust the height. You dont get crawl control though. The Trd pro is tuned a little more agressive with shifting points longer, it's also got more agressive suspension and muffler. I get better gas milage on my Trd pro. The limmited is an AwD system. The trd is 2 wheel drive that becomes 4 when need be.
If the XReas breaks down, and it will it will cost you a small fortune to replace components....if/when it breaks down, you should rip it all off and put on Bilstein 5100’s with a stiff spring....and forget the Xreas rebuild!
I got the SR5 4x4, but wish i would of gone for the premium sr5. No complaints so far since 2017. Upgrades: ko2 with new wheels, trd skid plate, nerf bars, Led lights interior/exterior, and lift coming soon. Love it.
Tall rims with low profile tires are not what I want to go off-road. I believe one is limited to gravel roads and snow covered pavement in the limited or risk damaging the wheels to rocks with very little sidewall protection.
@@rightlanehog3151 right but I was talking about off-road hazards you rarely see on the street unless, of course, you use your wheels as curb feelers and pot-hole depth gauges.
I love The Limited but I can't stand it's four-wheel drive all the time I want to be able to drive something in 2 wheel drive and only switch to 4 wheel drive when needed
I don't know anything about 4WD systems, other than, 10 years ago having a used Jeep Cherokee with part-time 4WD. I thought full-time 4WD was better, even for highway driving, and that was why so many passenger vehicles today have AWD? Would you be kind enough to enlighten me?
We are looking for another "newer" SUV after our 2006 Pilot with 320k is starting to die. Unfortunately Honda doesn't seem to make a good product anymore so am thinking of the 4Runner. This video is what I needed to determine if we should go with the Limited or not. By the way found you through The Car Care Nut.
So, in 3 years, the price of a 4 Runner Limited has jumped up almost 7 thousand dollars! Ridiculous. My wife has a Limited. It's a very nice vehicle. The thing is a tank in the snow and ice. It will go anywhere. It is AWD. They are getting too pricey, though.
It's not AWD it's full time 4WD Difference being a full time 4wd has a center differential, where the awd system is built into the rear differential. Respectively, an AWD system will generate power around the likes of 5/95% front/rear to 15/85% front/rear. Toyota's Full-time 4wd system with center differential will generate anywhere from 30/70 front/rear to 45/55 front/rear. Making it VERY capable on and off road. On the other hand a PART TIME 4wd system will lock the power to 50/50 front/rear. Really this type of system is best for deep mud and snow. Where the tires can move freely. This system is not ideal for on-road conditions and tend to break down easier becasue the power is locked to front/rear. It's a no-brainer imo to get the ful-time 4wd. This is the same system Toyota uses in their land cruisers, and has continued to use for decades.
Wish Toyota would offer an SR5 Premium...……….the look of the SR5, but with full-time 4WD, 14 speaker JBL sound system, (and turn signal in the mirror). Speaking of sound systems, can a late model SR5 owner offer an opinion on the stereo in the SR5, for example, do you have to have it blasting in order to hear it over the engine while on the highway?
Toyotajeff in Raleigh Limited... Why? "TORSEN" of course... But more importantly, Jeff, Does the limited come with the same size brake rotor/caliper in the front, as the SR5/TRDs? Something I experienced in the 4th generation 4runner.
Question for ya, I have a 07 SR5 and my neighbor has I think it's a 2000 or 2002 maybe...Limited Edition, and her 4-runner looks taller then mine. I looked at the specs and actually the 4th Gen are taller so I don't get it lol. Maybe I should just measure both cars and tires so I can figure this out lol. Can you help clear this up?
I went with pre-facelift 2010-2013 4Runner limited 4wd because it's full time 4wd and it's a good price. Mods incoming, 2" lift with bilsteins or dobinsons or fox, AT3W tires, etc. If I were to buy a new 4Runner I would go with TRD Off Road.
@@Anomize23 sr5 is for moms or the people who can't afford a limited or trd pro or even a off road for that matter. I have a all black limited nightshade defiantly not a mom car bud lol
@@tomsawyer1954 there's not even that much of a price difference between a limited and a n SR5 premium. Limited is a soccer moms ride. SR5 premium has softex, heated seats etc..looks better, more rugged and more offroad ready. It's preference not affordability..
@@terrynichol577 about a 7 k difference I have the 4wd. Funny you say that because I see all women in those decked out premiums ugly as hell with that front with no chrome. Your opinion and you can keep it. You probably financed I payed cashier check we are not on the same wavelength...
@@tomsawyer1954 Tom sounds insecure and chrome? No Tom, I'm not 70 years old I hate chrome and so do most with any taste. And woman you say? Good stuff, that means they have good taste. What is hilarious is the limited trim is literally the ultimate soccer, playground model that you can't leave the pavement with or you will wreck those low hanging plastic pieces. Oh,.and those ugly 20" wheels you can keep, they look like shit
Jeff this is a great video. Thanks for the information. Hey I feel like if you do the video without the sunglasses it allows your viewers to connect with you more.
Stephen Callands it’s really good advice. I have polarizing lenses that darken when it’s bright out. I should go and get traditional lenses based on your advice. Thanks! Jeff
Fire up Chips! Sorry, had to... Wife is a Bronco alumn. '96. curious and interested in 4runner. We've never dhad one but interested. Would like to buy a clean used white, pearl, or black south of the rust belt. Let me know if you want to send to love back to MI. thx.

SR5. I am a simple man with simple tastes. The Limited is getting close to the price of a Lexus GX which leads to an entirely new debate.

Does the base model SR5 have geared mirrors? If it dies that's definitely the one I'll be going with. I do not want or need all the extra toys.
I must say I am in the market for an Upgrad I like the red one

The limited looks like a luxury suv 😍
From 2011

Last week I bought a 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium in Silver. Luv it!
I went with full time 4WD on Limited. Best thing in snow. Ever.
Is that an option, or standard?
@@RichardsWorld , you can get Limited either with Full Time 4WD or with 2WD. However, I’m not quite sure why would anyone pick body on frame SUV with 2WD. But I guess that makes it even more reliable.
We have two Limited 4-Runners love both. One 2015 & 2018. We have had several 4-Runners. Great vehicles.
Can I have one?
@@SylentONE hahahahaha.
I have a 2017 SR5 Premium 4x4 with the 3rd Row Seats and Soft Tec faux leather that I bought last year with only 20,000 miles. I love it!
Softex is better than leather
I like the SR5’s simplicity. It is the perfect car! 😌

Are you sure your 4x4 knob isn't set to the wrong option?
That’s what I fell when descending downhill
I love the limited version. the build quality is second to none. saving up for 2016-2019 4 runner limited white with REDWOOD INTERIOR.

Get a limited with off-road package. Problem solved
You aren't alone. I mean, smart key and power liftgate on a SR5 is all I need. Maybe it's an option but I'm buying used.
I got a 2021 limited. Love it.

@@ThisIsDavesGarage -You are right. There is a difference. The 2016 4 Runner Limited is AWD. Take 1 minute and look it up.
This guy is great! Awesome video!
Love this guy, he is hilarious!!
Wish Toyota would offer an SR5 Premium...……….the look of the SR5, but with full-time 4WD, 14 speaker JBL sound system, (and turn signal in the mirror).
Speaking of sound systems, can a late model SR5 owner offer an opinion on the stereo in the SR5, for example, do you have to have it blasting in order to hear it over the engine while on the highway?
Toyotajeff in Raleigh Limited... Why? "TORSEN" of course... But more importantly, Jeff, Does the limited come with the same size brake rotor/caliper in the front, as the SR5/TRDs?
Something I experienced in the 4th generation 4runner.
I hate standard moon roofs. I don't want one and would never open it so its a bitter pill to want a limited and despise a moon roof.
I can’t do without moon roof!!!
@@claudiacanales2662 I wish I could give you mine. I never use it
I too prefer the SR5. Just wish the SR5 could have a manual transfercase lever like the TRD
They used to have a couple of years ago
The sir-mix-a lot really sold me! 😂
I love your videos and I like the limited but I have one comment, if there is AC for the third seats then it will be number one of selling SUV
Hi Jeff
Best one for me the Limited
hi i’m looking for a car for off-road and for every day what do you recommend it to take a limited 4runner or sr5 2019
Question for ya, I have a 07 SR5 and my neighbor has I think it's a 2000 or 2002 maybe...Limited Edition, and her 4-runner looks taller then mine. I looked at the specs and actually the 4th Gen are taller so I don't get it lol. Maybe I should just measure both cars and tires so I can figure this out lol. Can you help clear this up?
I went with pre-facelift 2010-2013 4Runner limited 4wd because it's full time 4wd and it's a good price. Mods incoming, 2" lift with bilsteins or dobinsons or fox, AT3W tires, etc.
If I were to buy a new 4Runner I would go with TRD Off Road.
wish h4F awd was offered in other trim levels besides limited only
Would like to know where the block heater is located for the SR5
WMU alumni #96! Almost forgot I choose the Limited.
Nicole Cole Go Broncos!!!!!!
@@Toyotajeff Go Blue!
You forgot to mention about the rear window controls on the 4Runner Strip on the Limited.
The Maroney sticker for the Limited said full-time 4WD. The SR5 said part time 4WD. When you talked about them you said they were both part time 4WD.
I like the ruggedness of the front sr5/trd offroad/pro, the limited is a more luxurious front.
why does the Limited 4runner gets Full Time 4wd when its most needed for the TRD Off Road or TRD Pro?
Love the limited features but SR5 just looks so much better.
U are tweaking the sr5 is ugly as hell
@@tomsawyer1954 lol to each their own i guess
@@tomsawyer1954 Sr5 has more of an aggressive look. Limited looks like it has a body kit and plus it’s for moms anyways🤣
@@Anomize23 sr5 is for moms or the people who can't afford a limited or trd pro or even a off road for that matter. I have a all black limited nightshade defiantly not a mom car bud lol
Masculine men don't drive 5th gen Limiteds, or 5th gens for the matter
i like the limited, but i can only afford the sr5...
Save a little more bro and go for it!!
Do not get the sr5 Dave for the limited I love my 2018 limited
I’d buy one now, but the total redesign and powertrain upgrade is worth waiting for.
To much for the limited. I would buy the TRD off road premium.
I love the Limited.
I have the limited but in silver
Sr5 for me, a more rugged look.
Hell no the limited is way cleaner only saying that bc u can’t afford the limited
@@tomsawyer1954 you must be about 14 years old? What crawled up your ass? Everyone has preferences, anyways merry Christmas 👍
@@tomsawyer1954 there's not even that much of a price difference between a limited and a n SR5 premium. Limited is a soccer moms ride. SR5 premium has softex, heated seats etc..looks better, more rugged and more offroad ready. It's preference not affordability..
@@terrynichol577 about a 7 k difference I have the 4wd. Funny you say that because I see all women in those decked out premiums ugly as hell with that front with no chrome. Your opinion and you can keep it. You probably financed I payed cashier check we are not on the same wavelength...
@@tomsawyer1954 Tom sounds insecure and chrome? No Tom, I'm not 70 years old I hate chrome and so do most with any taste. And woman you say? Good stuff, that means they have good taste. What is hilarious is the limited trim is literally the ultimate soccer, playground model that you can't leave the pavement with or you will wreck those low hanging plastic pieces. Oh,.and those ugly 20" wheels you can keep, they look like shit
The Limited has all that Chrome you need to black out to make it right, TRD Pro all day!
Jeff this is a great video. Thanks for the information.
Hey I feel like if you do the video without the sunglasses it allows your viewers to connect with you more.
Stephen Callands it’s really good advice. I have polarizing lenses that darken when it’s bright out. I should go and get traditional lenses based on your advice. Thanks! Jeff
WHY DIDN'T JEFF TELL ME HE SEES ME PLUGGING IN A BLENDER WITH THE EXTENDABLE CARGO STORAGE?!?!
100% on Limited.
Doesn't the Limited have a different suspension? The X-REAS systems?
What do you personally drive Jeff?
A Geo Metro
Thanks!!!
Good job!!! 👍
Limited is a princess
I love Toyota.
why they make the Limited so much lower!! that doesn't look like for off roading :(
Sister bought the 2019 Toyota 4-Runner Limited 2wd, substantially cheaper than the 4wd.
Substantially less useful for those of us who need the 4x4 (snow, mud, very bad roads in the mountains to the house)
2wd 4runner would be useless in Canada
I would buy the sr5 and do a bumper swap
What audio systems this car?Subwoofer,yes?
Beep beep.. Bee, bee beep. Boom
Fire up Chips! Sorry, had to... Wife is a Bronco alumn. '96. curious and interested in 4runner. We've never dhad one but interested. Would like to buy a clean used white, pearl, or black south of the rust belt. Let me know if you want to send to love back to MI. thx.
Frank Hilton Go Broncos! And Fire Up Chips!!
Frank Hilton Yeah I don’t really specialize in the pre-owned vehicles so I don’t know if we would have what you were looking for
I like this type of video
My SR5 has mirror indicators! And heated leather seats!
Both are very nice cars, its little too much for daily use
True. These are real trucks that should be purchased by people who actually need a truck.
This guys great
My Star Wars socks! LOL
Can you get an SR5 with leather heated seats ?
Yes, with the SR5 Premium, I believe.
Go with the sr5 premium. Got mine with leather heated seats and a sunroof 😎
Límites 😍
