It's still a 4runner ...
Limited should have dropped tires psi down a grut, I believe would have made some difference. See the spinning of front wheels only making center contact, COOL video on Limited 4runner!
Limited Crew! gang gang!
ATRAC is a heck of a traction control system. On my wife's 2015 SR5 it is amazing how much additional traction you get out of the open differentials without losing momentum. It isn't as good as real lockers but it is the next best thing.
Agreed!
As a Limited owner I'm impressed.For a vehicle not really meant for this type of terrain makes me proud and on crappy tires 👏🏾
Thank you! We were very impressed!
Curious as to how this version isn't meant for "this type of terrain"...??? A-TRAC is very similar to my 2005 Mitsubishi Montero's Super-Select 4WD system, or even Range Rover's traction control system, and they both tackle this type of terrain very easily. The only problem I saw was lack of momentum and lack of mud terrain tires. Other than that, the vehicle and it's 4wd system did its job quite well.
Cool stuff 2023 limited owner
It’s the same setup as a Land Cruiser
@@wardellmercado8370I agree I think dropping a little air would have made the difference. Car is made for this terrain
That's just amazing!
4runners are pretty amazing!
Awesome! I had no idea the Limited could do this!
Yes you can!
The limited 4runner has a center locking diff with ATRAC. Exact the same as what you have in the GX 460. half of the ppl commenting here think the limited is a soccer mom SUV. it's not! I bet the lady was driving the limited here didn't have the ATRAC on. Lift the limited 3 inches and add good tires and it will become unstoppable on trails.
Agreed!
Agreed. I have a limited, lifted. Factory center locker and I added electric rear locker. It is very capable.
Could you please tell me what unit you went with?
You can tell atrac is not on for sure
Congrats!!! Almost makes me wish I had Facebook so I could have went.

In a bone stock configuration other than proper off road tires, my Limited astounded me with what it could do. Now I've got a lift on it and I'm just waiting for the trails to dry out so I can test it all over again!
They are amazing rigs! Happy trails!
I just bought a 2018 4Runner Limited 4WD because I'm taking a long trip to the west later this year and there were too many places I wanted to see that were only accessible with a high clearance 4WD vehicle. Videos like this one and other research I did convinced me that the Limited is probably up to anything I'm willing to try off road. I'm making 2 changes to it to hopefully make it safer off road to minimize my risk of breaking down somewhere in the middle of nowhere and spending thousands on towing and repairs. I am putting on a set of 3 steel skid plates to protect the engine, transfer case and transmission, and having the running boards that were on the vehicle taken off and replaced with a set of powdered steel rock sliders. Metal Tech out of Oregon is the only company I could find that makes rock sliders that are designed to fit the Limited - most rock sliders for the 4Runner won't fit the Limited because it has a different shape in the rocker panel area and some wiring for the Xreas suspension.
I had the vehicle checked out head to toe and there is no sign of any leaks in the Xreas suspension, so I'm not doing a lift or anything else to the suspension for now.
@@Don-md6wn Sounds like you got it all figured out! That will be a very nice build!
you lift 2 or 3 inches
I love how the 2dr Wrangler is modified and then there is a stock Pro running the same line.
Can’t wait to see the Limited. 2:11
This looks hella fun....Love to join you guys from Sactown.

We love ours too!!!!
Very nice Lavitta.
Thank you!
Hey not often you see a yt video from your own hometown! Sick video man!
Hey, thanks!
I just purchased a 4wd TRD Sport. Though not a Limited it has its simulararities. Nice to see a Limited doing so well off road.
Congrats on the new ride!
Duuuude dope!
Thank you!
Lucky, I want to go.
Follow us on Facebook and our website for upcoming runs!
I own a 2016 Limited 4Runner as well, with upgraded suspension and Fox Shocks. I just subscribed to the channel. I would love to go out with you guys. Great video 😊

I have 15 Limited. How do you like the fox shocks? I want to delete the Xreas. go to a 265/70R17 tire and Wheel.
@@FireRunner1075 Fox shocks are nice. Since this video we have gone to a 285/70R17 wrapped in the Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Very happy with the set up so far. When we delete the XREAS we are looking to go with the OME BP-51 Set up
@@OverlandersHQAdventures Eventually I will do a lift. Toytec. For now want to go to a 17inch wheel with 265/70. I am running wildpeaks now 275/55R20.
I love my Fox Shocks. I went with the Fox 2.0 coil overs in the front and the 2.0’s in the rear. I replaced the rear coils with some ARB coils and replaced the Upper Control arms with a pair from JBA off road. I’m glad I deleted my XREAS set up. With the new set up, it lifted the 4Runner about 2 inches. I’m also currently running some 285/65 r18’s all around. BF Goodrich KO2 All Terrains.
Cute blonde is a good driver...Go Girl.👧🏼
I have a limited with 3 inches of lift and long travel and that combined with the torsen locking center diff handles traction really well
What lift did you do? I'm about to do a bilstein lift on my Limited.
What did you do about front approach angles?
@@bradjihj5469 I have a Shrockworks front bumper that’s helped so much
@@noahziegler3478 I’m running the dobinsons lift with long travel. It’s been great!
That was great! I see you are running spacers on what looks like the stock shocks. What wheels and tires are you running?
Some 18" methods with worn out tires. Wheels and tires will be changing soon. Suspension will change once the Xreas gives out.
On these at least 90% difference is in tires. For controlled testing wheel/tires must be the same on all vehicles. Use the same soft rubber and aggressive tires, outcome will be very close
Agreed!
I ALWAYS see them on the street and never on the trail...so yeah. 4th gen V8 limited here.
Nice rig!
So what you are saying is that a limited with a small lift and better tires is better than the TRD ?
Based on the wheel spin, you certainly didn’t have ATRAC active for that first obstacle. When ATRAC is active, the free wheel won’t spin continuously. It will repeatedly pulse the brake on the free wheel and transfer power to the other wheel. I didn’t see any of that going on. If it was active, she would have pulled right up that hill without any problem at all. I suspect you had it in 4 LO and did not press the ATRAC button.
I just bought a 2023 Limited, I wanted the on road comfort and knowing I can decide to do mild -> medium off-road and not get stuck! Did you guys change the chrome trim around the fog lights or it was done by the previous owner?
Your Limited will be awesome both on and off road. The previous owner plasti-dipped the fog.lights. We plan blacking out the rest.
What feautures do you most like on your 2023 limited. I have a 2017 limited. Wondering if I should upgrade????
@@claudiacanales2662 This my 1st 4Runner, not sure what was on the 2017, I do like the 360 camera system, ventilated seats and the remote start from the key fob. It only took me 2 months to fall in love with the rolling back window, never thought it would be that practical. Especially with the new controls, I barely open the tailgate anymore.
Don’t know why ppl get the pro when limited is so much better on the road and off road it can still handle anything
It doesn’t like ATrac even had a chance to kick in, you need to stay on steady throttle
Nice! If you dont mind; what tire size, rims and off-set and lift if any?
We have changed the wheels and tires since this video. In this video I know we had 18" Rims. There is just a leveling kit up front from RevTek
@@OverlandersHQAdventures Do you recall which tires these were?
Yeah. It's just as good. The Pro is just a Limited with a different paint job and a couple extra springer things. lol.
No, the "limited" is an AWD vehicle. The pro is 4WD, when it is activated.
Oh yeah the limited is good off-road! Just lock the center diff and use low range with a -trak.
Yes it is!
question: those were not stock rims. What was the size on the tires and rims, Didn’t look like 20 inch? If so, did you put in a lift kit or is that stock?
We purchased the vehicle used with the wheels and tires, they were 18" wheels and some cheap tires. We have since changed the wheel and tire set up. Suspension here the vehicle has a spacer lift in the front. We have since changed the suspension to the Bilstein 5100 with dobinsons springs and we are very happy with the set up.
the limited is it lifted
... my guess was the center differential was not locked here...
I mean she did make it, and the 4runner with out ATRAC didn't make it, so pretty sure it was working
@@OverlandersHQAdventures no I mean did she actually LOCK the center differential lock. My guess is no. Take the same exact challenge lock the center differential and go into 4low and hit atrac... you will be amazed! Looked like the center was unlocked... which means technically she was in awd and not true 50/50 4wd.... She did great... I'm just saying lock the center differential and the thing will sail up that obstacle with zero drama 😃 ❤️
We will have to just try it again and see!
@@OverlandersHQAdventures OH you'll love it! Your Limited is the only 4runner with 3 differentials. The rest only have 2. Like the GX460 the default fulltime 4wd is a 60/40 split with a lsd in the center. That means if you go off road like that and your fronts get airborne all the power goes to the air wheels and everything just spins. When you lock the center, 50/50 is forced front and rear, then atrac does the rest side to side... Anyway enjoy!!! Please See our video on when to lock the center differential 😃
Why did the driver not hit the ATRAC button? That would prevent the wheelspin.
ATRAC was on. Just extremely slick and the wheels were spinning.
@@OverlandersHQAdventures on you say?? was it in 4 low or 4 hi????
4lo ATRAC was on
@@OverlandersHQAdventures thanks, was the center differential locked??
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROAD she swears it was
Real MAN car
Please stop the music…..
Don't stop the musik🤘🏾🤘🏾
feels like i’m at a dive bar in reno 40 years ago
05 limited v8 will preform just as well
Yes it will! Very nice rig!
So, she made it through that little obstacle with A Trac in 4LO?
Yes!
Would've made it through easier if she stayed on throttle for A-Trac to engage.
@@4runnerDavecan you explain why atrac didn’t engage?
What tires/ sizeis on the Limited and did you lift it??
We bought it used with a leveling kit on it. 33" all terrain tires
TRD and LIMITED are almost the same cars just for the elevation on suspension. the rest are equal
No, the "limited" is an AWD vehicle. The pro is 4WD, when it is activated.
Did you install TRD rims? Limited,s did nt come with those ?
We purchased the vehicle used and it came with these wheels and tires.
@@OverlandersHQAdventures cool 17" are better off-roading than 20". More rubber sidewall flex. .cool rig.
@@vincesmith764 Thank you!
they lowered the front lip down too much on the 2014 and on.... lips arent for offroad... they are for $90k 4x4 tahoes that drive on grass once in a while for swim meets. i have a 2013 limited and the front bumper is higher.
Lol. Not sure if the driver or those tires are worse.
Going to go with tires
Not bad for a soccer mom vehicle...........
I had 2020 4runner sr5 Build and its a beast in offroading. If mine i good how much more the upper trim level. Check out my build guys
You have a beautiful build!! Very nice!
The Limited is especially good in the snow due to its full time AWD, no popping in and out of 4WD as the conditions change, just send it.
Need all Terrain tires
Agreed
Bro, kids got soccer practice. Wife need the third row.
Exactly!
The Limited is the best do it all 4runner because it has the center diff, which allows on the road AWD. In the other T4Rs you're either RWD or 4WD. If you're mostly on the highway and need a car that can handle snow and ice on the road you want AWD, not 4WD. Dollar for dollar an Off Road or Pro is more capable than a Limited because it has the rear locker, but any T4R is no slouch, and if this is primarily a mountain road car I'd rather have the center locker than the rear.
We have loved it!
Music totally Sucks. Would be a hella light nicer to hear what is going on with the trucks.
CRISS DE MUSIC ÉNERVQNTE
Thank you for the feedback
But can’t you damage it doing these sort of stunts????
Driving off road does have its risks.
When I see a woman driving one of these they look bad ass! I have the same model and love it!!!!
Not as good but capable
A rear locker is in our future!
@@OverlandersHQAdventures that will definitely step up the game
@Overlanders H.Q. Adventures let me know when you install a rear locker in the near future. I'm tempting to add an eaton e-locker on my 2011 t4r limited but can't find much resources on how to. The limited comes with the torsen diff, and it is full-time 4wd. Don't know how the AWD system going to be like after a added rear lock....binding the system etc...
poor camera work, dizzy
Thank you for the tip
The answer is no
In order to Atrac to work you need to keep accelerating, letting go off the gas in the middle of the obstacle isn't a good idea
Thanks for the tip
The answer is most definitely “No!” 😂
Put a better tire on that 4runner and she's set
These trucks need turbos in them.
Why is that?
😂
@@JC-xc8rx Ever drove one with a Turbocharger ???
