I remember coming across your channel when you had less than 500 subscribers. Now you're getting invited to Toyota reveal events. Well done!
It was great meeting you this week! Great content on the 4Runner!
Likewise, Kirk! What a pleasure meeting you!!
The new 4runner sucks. The motor makes me sick 🤢
The Everest trail hunter is beautifully awesome 😍
It is nice hopefully Toyota keeps the Trail hunter under 60k MSRP,TSRP,SRP 😢
Great video : great logical explanations of new features
Better video than some channels with many more years experience
Great job
Yes , I’m 57 and it’s a delightful see this young reporter videos. No crap at all just common sense.
That front end of the 4Runner looks so good and aggressive. I’d say besides the Land Cruiser LC300 this 4Runner front end is the best looking Toyota SUV!
Only issue I have with it is being a 4 cyl and no v6 option
Great coverage Chloe!
Great job Chloe with reviews. 😊
Looks great but the turbo 4 is a concern for reliability. I am sure a lot of people wish they have a V6 option.
I’m not sold on the 4 cylinder with a turbo. I think I’ll grab a 6 before they’re gone. The new truck is awesome looking in/out….I just cant overcome a bad experience I had with a turbo 4 in the past.
Same sentiment. Just picked up a 2020 trd off road. Would have saved more money with lower interest rate on newer 2024 pick up, but my experience with turbo anything hasn’t been pleasant. 🤙🏼
Great video! Love your enthusiasm
Looks like the 5th gen 4Runner with fender flares and a dent in the doors. I see in all the chats everywhere that the 6th gen looks good but not many are saying they're buying one. Most are flocking to the lots to get the last of the 5th gen.
Yep that's what I did. No turbo 4banger or hybrid drivetrain for me thanks. I think this is the end of 250-300k mile bullet proof 4Runners.
I picked up an Off Road premium last week. The 6th gen looks good but I think I would wait a little while for them to work out the new gen kinks.
Great news hopefully there is lots of inventory and dealers willing to deal….
@@tdub25 Sure they will, just like they did with the Tacoma. Good luck with that!
That's because of rebates.
Love your positive videos 👍
Excellent presentation. Nicely done.
Great review! Also liked your LC250 Prado review!
I hope your channel continues to grow so you can afford all these new Toyota models. I would love to see videos of you upgrading them. I watch your channel for the upgrade content. I hope at the very least Toyota keeps inviting you to their events.
I was thinking of getting a new Land Cruiser but that Mud Bath TRD Pro just changed my mind.
I doubt anything can change my mind from the Land Cruiser, I am already knee deep and sorting out my finances to pull the trigger
Hopefully Mudbath migrates to lower trims by '26. Such a good color.
@@braalo07 Wish Land Cruiser had a non-hybrid trim.
Great catching your video Chloe, know I have been away for a long time. Sorry . Love the 4 runner, I definitely would buy the TRD Pro or Trail Hunter
Everest, and mud bath are great looking, yes 33s amazing!
Geeking on the New 4-Runner...
Great presentation of the 4 Runner and I think it's dope ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great presentation, Ms. Kuo.
So convenient for you to have them premiere in San Diego! Hope you get a chance to drive a TRD-OffRoad version soon
Was going to get a new Tacoma but going to wait for the 4Runner. The trail hunter trim looks amazing.
I always wanted a 4Runner, but I couldn’t beat the practicality of a Tacoma (truck). Glad they updated it finally.
Roll rear window down and u can load things way bigger then u thought 😏.
Great review and only thing that bugs me is no longer a V6 engine and since I keep my car's for over 15 years, what about the maintenance of this hybrid engine? Well aware that's still new and appreciate if you can cover it later on.
The updates on the 2025 4Runner look great! Thanks for this informative video, Chloe!
So jealous, Chloe! You got the greatest job ever! Really like the new 5th gen 4Runner. Love how Toyota kept some old classic styling. Sadly it's not gonna be cheap but to be fair prices for all vehicles, not just Toyota, are getting more expensive in general.
I love my 5th gen. But that new trail hunter has got me dreaming. Hmmm….
Thanks for the video I appreciate the infor.
Very nice review as you often provide useful info other don’t and in a relaxed way. Thanks for mentioning rear legroom. Can you say how the rear legroom space compares to the 5th gen as it seems smaller? Btw, my guess is you are still going to get the 5th gen :)
It is great you get to see a 2025 4Runner. Over here on the East Coast we can't even test drive a 2024 Tacoma, let alone buy one..
Awesome 😊 it doesnt seem like a commercial at all 😂
Fantastic update. The hard part for me is deciding between the new Runner or the Tacoma.
Cant wait do drive one!
Well done Chloe 😊
Thanks for sharing.
If they put the v6 turbo in the trailhunter i might consider it it
Great job Toyota! On the TRD PRO fenders like the Trail Hunter would be more practical. Thank for the awesome video!
I just took delivery of a ‘24 Solar Octane TRD ORP. Always wanted one and now I have one of the last year. I do like the 2025’s but I’ll let a few years go by to see how they actually do. And if I want to jump into one, I know that I’ll get full value for my 2024. These trucks are almost like an investment. Not quite, but almost. Great review!
Question- For the non hybrid version when you fold down the rear seats is it completely flat or is there still a slight lip\level change?
Sick AF!!!
Gettin' the Pro on day 1!!!
Right ON!! They look GREAT!!
Great video
Thank you Toyota for keeping real buttons and knobs!!!
Best video I’ve seen on the new 4runner most others are pretty boring.
So true
I miss my 5th Gen 4Runner, but I am loving this new gen. Great vid and review. I had a 98 Tacoma, and yes i miss that too, and I currently have trhe 2nd Gen Tundra, and I love that truck with the bullet proof reliable V8. I am never getting rid of that, because I kick my ass all the time for selling my 4Runner and Tacoma, and my R32 GTR. With today's gas prices in CA, I am debating between this new 4Runner or the new Tacoma. hmmm...
Swirl marks already visible in the PRO piano black trim, think it would look better if Pro and trail hunter had color matched flares and trim. How much better is MPG with the new engine?
Great video. Try adjusting the aperture on your camera so both you and the trucks in the background are in focus
Better run out and get a Gen5. 2026 TrdPro doesn't cut the mustard. Cargo space compromised by hybrid battery pack. Rear seats "tumble" forward and take up too much space. Rear seat occupant leg room looks tight, especially on egress. Do you really need all the "tech" when you're hitting the trail?
Tried and true Gen5 just can't be beat for the true adventurer. JMHO.
So glad I chose to get a new 2023 5th gen. The 6th Gen is the version that will kill the 4Runner legacy. Posters saying the 4Runner community waited for this, lol. The 4Runner forums are slit 50/50 on this version while they were all on board with the 5th Gen. Buy you new 5th Gen while you still can!
No
Going 100k, 200k and 300k was with their V-6 motors. I doubt that will happen with a 4 cylinder that is stressed to the max.
This is America, not Japan. We push our off road vehicles hard. The last thing I want is to be in the middle of nowhere and have my motor explode.
Put a turbocharged 4 liter in that the 4-Runner and the Tacoma and your sales will skyrocket. I have a Runner and love it. I would buy a new Runner and a Tacoma if you put a turbocharged 4 liter in them.
That’s a promise!
Good video 👍🏽
I was't too sure when I first saw the first profile shot, but now that I've seen the walkaround the proportions look much better to me. I'm honestly more interested in seeing the SR5 and Offroad than the Pro or Trail. Thanks for the great video!
The models 90% of us will get. Also looking forward to this trims. I’m sure the SR5 is gonna start around $42k ish too unfortunately
@@josephj1234567 we can only hope it starts at $42k ish 🤔
@@phillyfathead either way, I think I’m priced out since it’ll be at least $50k otd 😔
Bummed about the power train options for all Toyotas. Everything else about the Toyotas are awesome.
Looks like a rav4 from the side, I hope everyone loves them so I can get a 5th gen for a decent price 😂
TRD Jon left the back seats offset in that TrailHunter 😂😂😂
@TRDJon… explain yourself!!!!!! 😂
So, it seems like the new 4Runner has a 900 lb cargo capacity (per a picture someone took of the specs listed on the door), whereas the old one (and the new Land Cruiser) has about 1700 pounds. WHAT is that about? So the new one can carry four people and a tank of gas, only? Can someone explain?
Hybrid only bro.
The current TRD off road and pro are also only 880lbs because of the softer tunning of the shocks. A lot of people bought an OR or Pro because of the 5000k lb tow rating only to learn they can't tow much of anything because it can't handle the tongue weight.
@@XplusX12345678 I assume because the battery takes up weight bearing capacity otherwise available.
Let's all go offroad with a big fragile battery in the back, lol, what could go wrong.
Yes , they just keep becoming more like plastic electronic junk.
Is difficult to choose from I had to watched twice to keep up with the new gen the limited and the trd caught my attention
With the hybrid battery, did the MPG increase?
Simple & Reliable!
Can you completely remove the second row or is it welded to the frame?
Is there only a rear diff locker? No center or front diff locker? That green color is gorgeous!!
On the 5th gen limited my biggest complaint was 3rd row air conditioning outlets, none available.
i watched many 6th gen reviews so far and i don't see them being added, here in Florida we need more air conditioning for the 3rd row seating.
I love the new 4Runner. Only thing I wish was better thought out was how much the lower portion of the bumper sticks out and wish the interior was just a bit different than the Tacoma.
Your channel has certainly come a long way since you started filming in your driveway. I hope you have continued success.
I would like to eventually see a comparison of the new Tacomas vs new 4Runners concerning warranty issues and recalls. I’m quite certain with the 4Runner continuing to be made in Japan, we will see it is superior in reliability and fit & finish.
So are you saying that the Pro model is the highest level on the Tacoma and the middle level on the 4runner?
Just a few years ago these were in the mid-high $30k-40k range, and now going to be upwards of $50-65k? And probably average around 1 mpg better fuel economy. 😮
Pricing on all vehicles is ridiculous. They are beautiful for sure, but not worth the high prices IMHO. I’d be curious to see how many of them they sell the first two years.
@@larryzapotocky1363 The Toyota small trucks are no longer for the average person , wanting a fun off-road capable, camping vehicle, making an average wage.
I approve the styling of the 4Runner, but you can count me out on purchasing because of the 4cylinder turbo engine. I don’t think 🤔 you will get 250,000 miles with a 4cylinder turbo engine. 😢
I love Toyota's simplicity, and durability.
Their IForce 4cylinder hasn't even been long term tested, as it's fairly new.
Something out there for everybody as long as you're a millionaire! Add one (or all of them!) to your fleet today!
I have to see that TRD PRO in black on black but I gotta tell ya Mudbath is looking sweet!!!
Cool review.. not a fan of the shiny wheel fenders on the TRD Pro...plus mud bath color hmmm , otherwise its a nice upgrade and hopefully better MPG..
I hope you buy the 4Runner and not a 4th gen Tacoma. Don't get me wrong I love the Tacoma but yours is dialed in to perfection. You got the Landcruiser so you gotta get the 4Runner! Great Video!
The new engine will need to prove itself first in the reliability creds department. Hoping it does well. 👍🏼
No 4 cylinder turbo for me! The motor will not last as long as the 6 cylinder!🙈
Prove it. Turbos haven't really sucked since mid 80s Saabs with cooling issues. And 80s and 90s NA engines sucked as well. The engineering is spot on and the low end torque of turbos is sick. They also really shine at altitude. I live in Wyoming in the northern wind river range and drive at elevation all the time. Once I got a turbo I was shocked at how much better it was. Never ever going back to a wheezing NA.
@@danielrn133 Great point about the turbo and altitude. Never had a problem with my CX7 turbo. I’d pass X5s and MLs in the mountains when they would wheeze at 6000 feet…
can you fit 35s? Thats what we want to know
Man, the new Gen Tacoma and 4Runner are mad sexy. If I didn't spend so much to build my 2017 Cement Pro I'd get the new 4Runner. I've had some insane offers from random people and from dealers for my current pro with only 60k miles. I just love having a paid off weekend rig and the insane price tags + markups on these new ones steering me away from pulling the trigger.
Word of advice though or a general rule of thumb for people intending to buy a new vehicle... It's wise to stay away from the 1st year a new gen comes out.
Thanks again for the video.
They let you in the club, now you can’t say anything bad about it 😂🎉
Anybody know if they sell bottom covers for the 4runner? Like a plastic cover that would cover the entire underneath of the truck to end corrosion.
Agreed Toyota bring back the V6
Turbos are horrible
Not worrying. My 5th gen only has 111k on it. There will be at least 1 more gen before I need one.
They look sweet but there is no way that turbo 4 cylinder will have the reliability of the v6
toyota has proven globally that their 4cyl engines are reliable already. the NA market is obsessed with displacement and horsepower that's why you have always gotten V8 or V6 engines, if it wasn't for that then you would have experienced the reliable 4 cyl toyota engines the rest of the world has been using for decades already
Their hands are tied. Eventually, everyone is gong to switch to turbo because of emission standards
That’s the way things go. Years ago, you could get a V8 in a 4Runner. Now down to 4 cylinders.
@@Barbwire7102 cylinder next , buy this when you can 😂
@@mrketo7077 I could see it going to the 3 cyl toyota motor at some point. Either way, eventually, we’ll be full electric lol. No cylinders.
Is any reviewer going to be critical of these or just gush over them? Guess they don't want to lose that sweet Toyota hookup.
This is what the industry call just a reveal. Test drive reviews are different. I do like her reviews on gears with lifted kits.
Man all companies are just going to keep adding as many mostly useless features as they can in increasing the price of it all 2 fold. Within the next couple of years your average car is going to have as many controls, knobs, dials and readings as a spaceship.
Which feature is useless? I haven’t seen anything absolutely useless yet.
Would payload/towing capacity change on the new 4Runner due to different trims and features? To me, the 4 cylinder engines are not going with big towing.
Increased to 6,000lbs
@@davedave1398 Wow! They must have increased it 1,000 lbs more.
I was wondering if there was a 3rd row seat option just like previous 4runners.
Yeah there will be in the non hybrid
That is what I thought. The battery pack in the rear would not have room for a 3rd row.
I’m 6’6” , long legs, I’m curious on how comfortable I’ll fit behind the wheel?
I'm 6'5 and I'm wondering the same thing. Legroom is fine in my current 2016 4Runner, but my hair brushes up against the ceiling even with my seat all the way down. Some added headroom would be nice.
@@bfg_mtb Agreed, I haven’t owned one although we’re considering ORP, GX 460, or even Sequoia for reliability, road trips and getting dirty
@guidenext2204 In case you weren't aware, at least with the 5th gen 4Runners, if you get one without a moonroof, you'll have more head clearance than if you get one with. Not sure if that's the case with the 6th gen 4Runner or any of the other SUVs you mentioned.
I would totally buy one of these to replace my truck if I can find one with a third row lol
What grade of gas is best for a 4cyn turbo?!
Unless you are driving a 600k supercar, the days of fuel grade mattering ended roughly 15yrs ago. Every engine is made to be adaptable to any grade. You may not be utilizing the full capability/efficiency of the engine, but you'd never cause damage and the average driver wouldn't be able to tell a difference.
I’m almost certain it will “require” premium gas, as most turbos do. It will be fine if you put in the lower octane fuel, but over time the turbo systems and fancy injectors will get gunky from the cheap gas deposits.
The 4Runner community waited a long time for this and I'm not disappointed. It's vastly improved with one caveat: you cannot expect the same reliability of the V6. WTG Chloe.
WILD OFFROAD CAR 😎👍
Green is an uncommon color for cars. I like it.
Yep, more tech and lights with a smaller overtaxed engine, what could go wrong?
I’ll stick with my 5th and mourn the 4Runner.
I wish I can buy one
Has anyone heard if it's possible to run the climate control off the traction battery when these new machines are parked? (Camping mode)
As a previous 4Runner owner this is great! Am a Tundra guy now!
3rd gen all day
21 3rd gen tacomaa all day and paid off .never selling my truck . 4runner looks good like a 4th gen mix.
I have a question. Does anybody know how this compares in size with the fifth generation forerunner? Is it shorter, is it wider, does it weigh less, Turn ratio? If I’m going to go this route with that smaller engine, I want more maneuverable, slightly more compact vehicle to operate. Might be fun to drive. I find my fifth generation forerunner to be a bit cumbersome, when compared to the jeep Cherokee 1999 that I also own.
I hope they matte the fender flares or make them body color on the TRD Pro; I don't think I like the gloss black. Other than that, I really dig the Trailhunter. I'm actually excited about this new gen 4Runner!
Great video Chloe! I have to say that the engine bay of all these new trucks looks like a pile of angry noodles!😂 Hopefully working on them will not be too complex. Time will tell! I had considered a Gen 5, but was turned off by the inside… as you pointed out, the tech looks SUPER dated! Glad they updated that!
