This 2024 model of the 4Runner arrives as the finale before a long awaited major redesign, breaking the industry's average seven-year cycle with a remarkable 14-year stretch since its last update. A testament to its enduring design, the 2024 4Runner continues its tradition of being built on the same platform as the midsize Toyota Tacoma, which has itself seen two redesigns in the interim. Despite its unchanged status this year, its longevity in the market places it in a unique position against newer rivals. What do we think of it in its final form of this generation? Would we wait for the next one, or jump on this before it enters its next phase?

The generation is still living legend. i really love the simplicity and off-road rugged it's give 💪🔥
The 5th Gen 4runner will be a legend and will outlast any suv out there in the market
I’ve owned Corollas, Land Cruisers, and 4Runners. I still own a 4Runner 3rd gen & 80 series Land Cruiser. I have to say the 4Runner is the most practical & reliable vehicle. Cost of maintenance is also low
having had a 4th gen 4runner and a 100 series myself, I agree with you totally, 4runners are the lowest maintenance 4x4 you can run. practical enough to run long distances, and park in the lot.
I would stick with this 5th Gen 4Runner. At least you know what you’re getting; honest bulletproof reliability and pure ruggedness in the naturally aspirated V6 engine. A Ford, Jeep and Chevrolet will be in the shop all the time. Keep the oil changed in the Toyota 4Runner and you’re golden for hundreds of thousands of miles plus their high resale value is unmatched.
I’ll wait to hear reviews from those who choose the new 6th Gen 2025 model with the turbo 4, but I still believe if it ain’t broke; don’t fix it.
Yes this 5th gen is the one to go with. That 4.0 has proven itself and I wish Toyota would keep it as an engine option on the 6th gen 4Runner and the 4th generation Tacoma so people have other options. Maybe just add a gear box with more gears for fuel efficiency and better power band. The new tundra proved to be a big disappointment with its turbo wastegate issues at less than 3k miles and one dude driving his home from the dealership to find his rear axle was broken. Good looking truck but again I wish the V8 was an option there. Now I’m already seeing videos with a new Tacoma breaking its front diff on an easy obstacle and another guy already taking his to the shop because his check engine light already came on. I grew up with Toyotas but these aren’t exactly inspiring confidence in the new redesigns. Which is a shame because they look good. People like to talk smack about the American brands but my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has been more reliable than my wife’s 2015 Toyota Corolla. Her car has been in the shop 3 times just in the last 4 months versus the 0 times my Jeep has in 5 years. And I off road the Jeep in the mountains of Colorado and Utah. My dad has a 2017 Chevy 3/4 ton that he takes up to the mountains as well and it’s got 220k miles with no issues. I want to replace the Corolla with a 4Runner TRD Pro but the price point right now needs to come down a bit, which I don’t see happening.
@@O-PAC Fair point. My dig at the other car makers is based upon over all track records and feedback heard from a lot of previous owners. Any vehicle is going to run well as long as you take care of it. Also every car manufacturer is going to have its outliers right?
I just had a friend of mine that was having electrical problems out of his 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD that he bought brand new last year. He kept getting the run around at the dealership he purchased it from and ended up trading it for a new one at a different Chevrolet dealership. Now you know the 2023 models were $55 -$60K brand new and that’s being modest. The 2024 models are in the $70K range. You would expect a basic level of reliability for a vehicle that costs that much with hardly any miles on it.
I guess I’m just partial to Toyota and Subaru specifically because they are car brands known for their consistency when it comes to reliability and maintaining high resale value. Are they all perfect? No, but you know what I’m getting at. At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference and what you’re willing to pay for.
As far as trying to get your hands on a 2024 4Runner TRD Pro, I’m with you. You need to shop around a lot not only at dealership’s in your home state but outside as well. Just inquire what their out the door prices are (including all taxes, fees and add-ons) and see how far they are willing to negotiate. I can tell you from experience they aren’t as inclined to come off too much. The TRD Pro are in limited supply because Toyota only builds 2000-3000 units per year. Based upon dealer allocations some get 1, 2 or maybe 3 if they are lucky while some won’t get any TRD Pro on their lots
The dealerships in my home state were way above market so I did a search in a 500 mile radius at border states and found ones who were willing to negotiate and come off of some of the add-ons. They still charged MSRP but just no mark-ups. When the dealerships at home called back to inquire about whether I was still looking for one I asked if they could beat the other out the door price offersI found at out of state dealers including the tax for my home state and none of them could. One came within $1K but couldn’t beat it. That was the litmus test. None of the dealerships I found were willing to go under MSRP or below invoice for a TRD Pro but you never know you may find that one hidden gem of a dealership.
I’m highly skeptical about the new twin turbo 4 cylinder even more so now after what you said about the new Tacomas. I’ll wait until they work out the kinks and any recalls in the 2025 models and beyond with the turbo V4. Redesign the vehicle fine but if the V6 engine has a proven record for reliability leave it the hell alone. Try to improve the gas mileage and emissions but otherwise don’t mess with it.
Own an 18 and a 24 TRD.
Best trouble free vehicles and extremely reliable.
The 2024 4runner is a dinosour but its the most reliable well put together mid sized SUV made and being 100 percent made in JAPAN thats what mkes it a great classic to purchase, that will be gone soon
I say the same... "It's a dinosaur, but a dinosaur that will survive the next meteor strike"
Ofc the 4Runner is a dinosaur....but here's the thing....reliability was the old school Toyota. Sure, you can wait for all the whiz bang technical updates and overall design in the 25 4Runner, but at the cost of the turbo injected 4cyl engines that have really started out with a "bang"---and that wasn't a compliment. I bought the 24 Camry v6 just because I wanted a naturally aspirated engine above 4cyl.....I'm ok with hybrid....without a turbo injected engine. I also have a 24 RAV4 Hybrid and it's perfect. These are midsize vehicles that aren't doing anything fancy.
In short, these "tank" vehicles and trucks that are meant for REAL tasks and off-roading are all going to suffer, because Toyota prioritized Government rebates over providing the consumer what they want.
@@justahumbledude yes well said
Going for the old school 4 runner, pick up the 24 trd off road premium monday, don't want to be kicking myself in the rear later down the road. As long as i don't drive in the salt, there should be no reason to not have this the rest of my life, im 56 now
I thought the same. I'm going on 49 and picked up a 2022 ORP army green. I plan on driving it until they pull my license. I've got a 1996 tacoma 4x4 I'm still driving. It should go another 28 years I'd think.
I’m 50, got myself a 2023 ORP in Lunar Rock because I don’t want anything to do with the turbo 4…. I love this truck. Will keep it forever.
Count me in that bucket too... I'm 49 and hope the truck outlives me. All paid off too for my 23 ORP. At the time, thought I would be buying the last year of this gen, but alas 24 is the last. Still stoked a year and a half in and excited whenever I get in her.
I’m 29 and I bought a used 2019 4Runner trd off road. I live in the saltbelt so for preventative maintenance I fluid film the entire frame towards the end of summer.
@@4gedcarbon537 I'm doing the same with the '24. I feel like everyone has lost their minds
No one is buying the Bronco , their sales have literally fallen off a cliff.
Ford Bronco? They’ve had catastrophic engine failures and tons of recalls. Don’t know why we are obsessed with staying “up to date”. If you’re going to actually use your vehicle and keep it forever - a bronco ain’t it. Buy a vehicle that has a proven track record with countless instances of 300k (+) trouble free miles.
my f-150 with the 3.5 ecoboost is literally falling apart. horribly engineered, oil leaking everywhere, cam phasers shredding apart the engine, water pump leaking, o2 sensors going out. intake manifold over 50% clogged by carbon buildups only at 51k miles
So you’re up to date with the latest while it sits at the dealership waiting for warranty parts service. So you can make a payment on a ford you can’t drive.
These car reviewers haven't got a clue. I was a technician and comparing a Bronco to a 4runner is laughable at best. The 4runner has been perfected to the point it will go 400,000 miles with routine maintenance no problem. A bronco will be lucky to clear 100k miles without lots of repairs and frustration.
I’d take this over the 6th gen everyday and twice on Sunday!
I just got 2024 4runner off road premium with KDSS. Love it!
What’s the mpg?
@@financiallyfreerealtor966 We have the same car, 22-24 mpg highway and 12-14mpg in the city. You don't buy this type of car for the gas mileage.
@@financiallyfreerealtor966one mile per gallon less than the new version
@@financiallyfreerealtor966 First time on the internet?
I know what I would do, I picked up a new 5th gen last fall. All the upgraded safety I could need, old school Toyota durability and the product of 15 years of continuous refinement. In America we embrace this throw away culture and the desire to be seen in the fanciest, newest thing, with the most fashionable new technology that you don’t really need. If you want a fashion accessory and be part of the latest cool fad there are better options, if you don’t care about image or social status, and like to use 4wd’s hard, this is the last true good one IMHO. There is a reason there are people in the industry that proclaim this is the best vehicle currently in production from a quality and reliability stand point.
Thanks car Guru. Between you and Edmunds I found my wife’s 4runner.
2024 sr5 premium, 4wd, 3rd row, underground grey with some add ons. Had a few dealers fight each other for the lowest price. $44k before taxes.
This rig plus my 21 tundra CM 4x4 cement are the last of the best 🤙🏾.
All of these car reviewers always miss the point of the 4Runner. I can't wait to see ten years from now when these guys that are trashing this Gen will be praising it for being one of the best SUV's ever made!
The 4runner holds a trump card. It's the most reliable SUV on the market.
Exactly, when your 50 or 100 miles off road the last thing you want is an unreliable 4x4. I love my old 4 Runners and will never buy the new 4 cylinder turbo model and prefer their simplicity over tech every time. Toyota going forward with their CVT and turbos is a no go for me. They are going down the drain like Honda did years ago, just sad.
Great review and show ! I just purchased a 2024 4Runner Limited and so far so good i am throughly enjoying it ! This is the type of vehicle i would keep for a very long time granted i am on top of my maintenance . 😊
Absolutely love it! The colour and idc if it’s the old style because in my opinion it’s timeless! 👍🏻👍🏻
Just bought a 24 Trd pro and love it, the lagging acceleration can be fixed with a banks calibrator but the minimalistic tech is what drove me back to the 4runner. This vehicle is a instant classic and will hold it's value forsure of you decide to trade later?
Man I love that truck! I just bought a '23 Trail Edition Tacoma and I absolutely love it. But originally I wanted a 4Runner and this thing in Terra looks amazing. And being the last year.. well it will be iconic.
Give me tried and true over new gizmos any day of the week.getting to old to wrench on crap products 😂
Beautiful narration bro...great review
Just picked up this gen this morning to go with my 3rd gen Tacoma. Last of the true Toyotas
Awesome video 👍
Thanks for sharing how good the 4Runner really is.
I just bought a 2024 4runner with no regrets. Ford quality has taken a nosedive and this rig is legendary off road and that's the sole reason I bought it. I have another vehicle for my everyday driver. Toyota has a lot of new stuff launching which is great but none of it has 10 years worth of data to back it up. My dinosaur? The book has been written!
I love your honesty in assessing this vehicle. I love this vehicle but the lack of power, acceleration, and how it feels like a boat is what I don’t like but thank you for your honest assessment of the vehicle. You’re awesome!
I do off road and overland that’s why I luv this 5’th gen 4Runner in fact I owned two right now 2012 and 2023 ❤
I saw a 2013 on the road the other day immaculate beautiful it’s just an ageless design and ageless truck and I love the Land Cruiser. I love these trucks. I’m hoping to buy one this summer.
I did get myself 2024 4runner limited. I'm glad to say that I bought best last gen of the 4runner. I love it, daily commute my 4runner, put a lot of miles and it's very comfortable. I don't take it off-road because I don't have time to do so since I have a new born. Im from the Noth East and it got through crazy snow storms, used 4low to climb snow banks just for fun and never skipped a bit, it's just went for it.
Amazing SUV !!!!
Good to see you Mr. Takahashi!
4Runner is a beast I love it
I own a 21 Land Cruiser and a 22 4runner trd pro both vehicles bought new and both black on black, when it comes to cars i did close that chapter and im good for a very long long time, good luck to the ones that are looking forward to the new gen.
You're driving the last true Toyota, 6th Gen will be garbage with the new 4 cylinders turbo and appeal to the younger generations that care more about tech and a refined driving experience and don't care about reliability as they trade in every year like a phone.
As much as I want to disagree. You are right!
That's 100% true. Specially this TRD Pro model will jump on price. They already teased the new 2025 4Runner, so this will be the last true Toyota.
I’m in my 50s and I don’t care for the 4Runner because it’s so unrefined, dated and has horrible fuel efficiency. I’m looking forward to the new one so your assumption about what you think people want is incomplete. These are your views and you don’t speak for everyone.
You fake “car guys” who think you understand any generation of people are so stupidly cringy.
“Everyone else is dumb and doesn’t know good cars, BUT ME AND PEOPLE LIKE ME KNOW GOOD CARS”
See how stupid y’all sound? Of course you don’t lol

Toyota: we hold the record for how long we can fool people into buying the same product every year
Yamaha: hold my beer
Toyota has already officially teased the new 2025 4runner, which means this 5th generation 2024 will be the last true naturally aspirated Japan-made Toyota truck, these TRD pro specially will skyrocket in price.
Nice review !!! I think I would go for the 4 runner simply on reliability and durability. I feel it is a bargain price for what you get on a few trims . That being said , if you want the latest technology or more fuel efficiency, then others make more sense . After years of consideration and avoiding it , i eventually gave in and bought this last year of production. Time will tell if I feel it was a good decision!
I love that TERRA color!
it's awesome vehicle all around. this one will out last almost any other brands. I'm a 2012 Toyota Venza owner V6 AWD. super reliable keep maintaining fluids you're good to go . I'm with no doubt this one is a tank steel. the only advice under code fluid film or Bp Blaster under coding. a lot of new good products out there to protect your vehicle from rust...
I would definitely buy the 4runner, anytime of the day
I love the solid reliability 4Runner offers well over the competition. I love evn 4Runner offers comfy onroad options like the Limited where you get real leather seats, automatic running boards and full-time 4wd to name a few. Also 3rd row seating. To me pretty much 4Runner offers a solution for all needs to me , why the whole family drives 4Runners.
Love our Runner!
got the 2023 5th gen. it's got 3,000 miles on it today,,,, sr5 seems to run just fine.
tried & true never fails to start and run is why i got my 5th gen.
hope to have it for 20 years or more.
I have a 4runner, and he reviewed the 4runner honestly exactly 💯 .
Last of the true 4X4! Thank You
An excellent review. I am moving back home to Colorado and needed a car. I was between the 4Runner and the Subaru outback wilderness. I decided to go with the outback. You pointed out serval things I found frustrating while test driving the 4runner. I think it would have been a harder choice if the 2025 was out.
4Runner has the greatest technology of all! PROVEN technology! And did I mention, made in Japan. Same factory the make Lexus! Nuff said!
Turbo = No $ale for me.
Agreed. Just one more thing to deal with when the odometer passes 100,000 miles. Ten years from now car buying guides will be like "...be sure to avoid the first 3 years of the new Turbo 4runner which were problematic until they sorted the design issues..stick with at least the 2028 model year which had much better reliability."
Interesting from a none 4Runner Subject Matter Expert. The true top dog 4Runner is 100% built in Japan. The TRD Pro is finished assembled at a US port where the subjective feel Fox Equipment is installed. Get your hands on a TRD Off Road Premium equipped with KDSS & take it out for a spin. This is true aged perfection & not a Turbo that’s a disposable engine. Literally the unibody body deposable car/truck in an engine. The 6th Gen 4Runners with the turbo will be suited for the deposable lease crowd. The 5th is the long term problem free ownership crew with the 2024 out of Japan being the best one of them all.
It’s self rewarding when you drive a Toyota or Lexus vehicle, knowing you’re not getting recalled as soon as it’s driven off the lot. I drive a 23 GX460 my wife drives a 2017 RAV4, we 💙💙 the Toyota and Lexus vehicles 🚗
Hell yeah I love the 4Runner specially the pro. And I still drive my 03 4Runner at have 300hundred thousand + miles and not planning to sell it. Make it to million miles❤
Test drove the Bronco before I bought my 4runner. The Bronco felt cheap in comparison and not as good looking.
I love the 4Runner but at the same time, 45-55k is a lot of money for a car that, mechanically, hasn’t changed since 2005. I’d buy one used, or wait for the new one.
Mine shows up in 2 weeks, its the last car i'll probably buy, and im 44.
This is exactly what one needs. And will outlive most of us ❤
I’m strongly considering buying this before it gets redesigned. I was really hoping Toyota would use their 3.5 V6 and 8 speed auto and was really disappointed when I read about the 4cyl hybrid power train in the upcoming 6th gen.
Sales jumped significantly (almost doubled) in the US after the 2014 refresh, climbed each year through 2018, and then have been falling since, except for spike in 2021, but the spike then was probably due to built up demand after the pandemic hit
Probably cause the price is insane for what you get. The base model is 42k, that's ridiculous for such a dated vehicle.
We are thankful to have the option to buy a reliable, body on frame, 4wd shift lever, non-turbo V6 suv. Buy the 5th generation 4runner before Toyota downgrades it.
With all those speakers, you'd think they could put a CD player in it. Anything to save a buck!
I need a 3rd row and want to be able to off road so it’s our only option for an affordable used off roader
There's something about the iconic 4Runner look, especially in its late 5th gen form, that can't be easily found in other SUVs or even in previous 4R gens. Now that I've seen what the 6th gen looks like, I know I'll be keeping my 2019 4R TRD Pro for the rest of my life. I'm averaging 5K miles a year, so it's highly likely that the truck will outlast me.
Nice. Love a real frame and everything analog such as the meters, gear and diff levers. Hate computers and screens that spring chickens rave about or are addicted to. I wish they made it with a low rev efficient NA V8 and straight axles and manual gearbox and air suspension 🤔
4 cilinders are for beginners and children
My daughter went to a dealer yesterday with over 40 4Runners in stock. She was wanting a SRPremium 4x4. They offered $4800 of the sticker, then added a couple thousand in useless crap and fees. Offered her $500 for her 2012 Rav 4 and then refused to give her her keys back. She is 8 1/2 pregnant and had a dr's appointment to make. It was frustrating to her her tell be about it. I would not recommend North Austin Toyota. I am a Toyota manufacturer employee and can get a decent discount. They said they could beat that without any proof or pin number. Thats alone is sketchy.
I love the color
Despite all your negativity, the Gen 5 and below 4 Runners are the best in the market-- IF you want a truck that will run forever. Pitch, roll, braking, cargo space, and interior design mean nothing while you are waiting for your vehicle to get out of the shop! How many MPGs are you getting while your vehicle is on the lift at the Ford dealership??
I love 4Runners, and keep buying them…I am crazy 😜. I grew up with old trucks, so these are luxurious comparatively speaking. Less stuff to break, but yes, they are too expensive. Luckily I picked up my orp for $42k a few years back and spent money on a suspension upgrade. Worth it. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
I never considered a 4 Runner, had Tundra, Highlander and now a RAV4. Seeing this video, I want one. I’ve had my past Toyota’s for a minimum of 16 years and expect this 4 Runner to last as long. Forget the Bronco, I hope they don’t redesign the 4 Runner.
Never understood buying the trd pro model. It’s terrible value and the trd exhaust drones on when your at freeway speeds and that’s super annoying. Just get a trd off road premium or sr5 premium in 4x4 and you will be very happy and you won’t be hurt so much by the sticker price that way. I have an sr5 premium 4x4 and I can tell you you’re not gonna go to many places where you would need a trd model. Save yourself some money and you’ll be very happy with one of these
Like it all.
this os EXACTLY what i want.
less tech, no bulls**t.
an SUV should not cost $50K.
14 MORE YEARS!
If you dislike the 5th Gen so much, you should have waited and done a review of the 6th Gen
Rest assured we’ll be reviewing it once it’s available!
Sounds like you want a street car. Then be sure to buy a STREET car.
You’ll be very disappointed with the next generation model 😂. If the tundra sequoia LX are anything to go by it’ll be a complete mess
Hi Naveen, It looks like u wanted to be first here after everyone commented before u, huh 😂
@@normanli7085mark takahashi has no idea what he’s talking about. I know 💯 everyone’s going to be extremely disappointed with the next gen. Just like the new tundra lx sequoia were complete disasters
@@naveenthemachine if the 4runner is going to share a lot of components with the tacoma and keep the features that makes a 4runner a 4runner, it's going to be a home run
I got 24 Off Road Premium with KDSS
If you drive in twisting mountain roads like me ,it’s the way to go .
TRD Pro not worth it .
Add a real roof rack
Add real off road tires and black wheels that everyone else doesn’t have for less .
TRD exhaust terrible.
You can easily switch front to heritage grill if you like that look .
4Runner is a lifetime car that’s part of your family.
He recommends a bronco?lol
Sounds like you wanted a Trd Pro and couldn’t get one with the way you trash it. They are usually sold before they even hit the lot.
The floaty Fox suspension on the pro is my favorite drive I’ve ever experienced on a truck. Add the JBL stereo, dual climate and the 1 inch factory front lift to give the pro a better stance.
If you ever want to sell it the Pro in stock form will hold its value better than any other trim with similar miles and wear, not even debatable.
I am trying to understand! You are doing a review with top off roader TRD pro and driving on regular road and telling the features we already know?! What is the point?!
It’s a good machine despite the age, but it should be a lot cheaper considering how long ago it was fully amortized.
Hilarious! Nothing compares to the 4runner! Best of breed!
this guy really just said to take a Ford Bronco over a 4runner. LMFAO.
I thought the same thing. I got a 2023 ORP….its like a tank. Test drove the Bronco when it came out because I was curious and liked the retro look. The Bronco feels so cheaply made it was an immediate no go for me. So glad got my 4R.
No comparison in terms of durability and reliability with the 4Runner vs. the Bronco. Broncos are overpriced money traps for people who enjoy paying $10k over sticker for a Ford and relish sitting in the service lobby every 6 months or more! Any 4Runner will outlive a similar model year Bronco by at least 10 years!
@@stevemcdaniel7990 Working at a ford dealer with a line of recall’s in the service department for those broncos, YOURE NOT WRONG 🙈
4Runner and Ford Bronco shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. The 4Runner is ancient but prob the most reliable vehicle out there. Can't say that for the Bronco
You have a thing for a Ford Bronco. Good luck
Why does he not talk about reliability? Do you really think a ford bronco is going to last as long as the older 4Runner and Jeep is even worse.
Only reason I won’t buy this is the gas MPG .
All the Bronco owners i know are dealing with recalls.... and the Jeeps are ugly.
Great video 🙄 very respectful, calm, and detail, and I can't believe your English is very, very perfect because in asia, especially like japan or china or Korean there english i think it's not very good
The 4runner is superior to the Bronco in terms of noise, vibration and rattles. More importantly, it will be infinitely more reliable. The 4runner is the most durable, reliable and overbuilt new car for sale in the US period. 400,000+ miles is no problem for these vehicles at all with regular oil changes and routine maintenance. The Bronco will be lucky to hit 125k miles without major problems and a dozen shop visits for repairs along the way.
4runner still better than Bronco. I sold mine for an is350, didnt need it anymore
So many 'car critics', esp the big outlet corporate ones, dog on the 4runner like every other spec junkie. There's a reason corporate salaried car "critics" are not the men in the arena actually making things. 4runners have sold more 4runners the past year than any other year. Interesting, huh?
But the spec gimmick jockies ponder and pontificate. How is this so? HOW? I am paid to critic all the new dazzling bells and whistles. I'm an expert! I know all of the things!
This is like the ones that are salesmen and know what is the most reliable when its not 😂
That's not even remotely true. You realize you're on the internet, where anyone can fact check you in a second? Toyota sold 109,951 4Runner in 2023. In 2022, Toyota sold 121,023 4Runner. They sold 11,072 more units in year 2022 compared to 2023 with a percent loss of 9.15% YoY.
Had a 2024 rental for 2 weeks. Suspension, road noise, body roll were all a big downer. Unless you are regular off roading, have a look at a BMW X5 for a massive performance upgrade. RWD bias, B58 turbo inline 6, lighting fast trans. Maintenance is another potential disparity.
you recommended ford? you're no Guru
Please don’t compare garbage like bronco and jeep with this legend. My friend you have lots to learn. And no one cares about mpg anymore.
this wasn`t a great video, i love the 4runner
The 5th gen 4Runner still looks great, all it needs is a new front end and drive train. I own one, and I'm sorry but the four liter V6 is terrible. Literally every time I drive it I think to myself how much I hate this engine.
This vehicle will still be on the road when the next generation is in the junk yard
Try pro is pos. Should have tested one with kdss
I bought a TRD Sport a few months ago and I love ❤️ driving it!!
You just don’t get it.
This vehicle is perfect, i'm buying a 2024 before they are gona forever. These turbo engines and meeting new emissions standards are having engineers make absolute garbage. This is the last great vehicle of our lifetime, sadly.
I can do all the maintenace on this myself, don't like the road handling? pop on some bilsteins. Super easy to customize. Any complaints about the interior are null once you see the dash screen on the new 4runner, 17" screen on top of the dash blocking your view from outside? Anyone that wants something like that has no business driving a vehicle
Thanks for a fair and balanced review.
3rd generation is the best in some circles. I love my 5th gen because it’s mine. 6th gen will be expensive…bottom line
Bought the Offroad Premium a few weeks ago. Not happy with the really poor camera resolution (for the backup and multi terrain monitoring) which I didn't notice on the test drive. I think i was blinded by the new car fever. My wife's Highlander has a much better camera resolution and that car was 10K cheaper. The storage is awkward and somewhat unuseable. I will live with these things for the offroad capability and reliability.
You buy the 4Runner so it can last you 25 years, you buy a bronco and in 5 years they're trash 😂
