Jim's Info is in the Description Box.
Good review, didn’t like new gen 4Runner, secured my pro in Terra. By the way there is new video from tahara factory when first gx 550 along with 4Runner build.🇺🇦🇨🇦
@@mrketo7077 Massive congrats on your new Terra Pro! Love that color and it's epic that you got the last model year in the special color, enjoy!
I bought 3k under msrp - it was advertised on their website. Not sure why this guy is making a false claim. I bought mine in Tennessee.
You buy one you deserve one 💯
Thanks so much!
I just picked up a 2024 4Runner Limited AWD in Underground. I'm very satisfied.
Massive congrats my friend!
Same here, just waiting on getting it Ceramic Coated now.
@@denniskloss7351getting the paint ceramic coated?? I researched a bit on undercoat rust protection, and I have a place picked out. But I haven’t started doing any research into protection for the paint yet.
100% FAILURE OF 4RUNNER LIMITED X-REAS SUSPENSION UNDER 50,000 MILES. I just found out about this. The repair is over $3,000. I plan on taking the system off when it fails. It’s something to think about unfortunately.
@@marcomizzoni8323 yea just remove it when the time comes not a big deal no need to fix it if it’s under warranty then of course you can get it fixed for free.
Just purchased a Midnight Black 2024 TRD Pro and love it! This is going to be a classic.
purchased the exact same thing.
@@joetaravella13 how are you liking it? I really wanted a white TRD Pro but they're getting hard to come by here in Tx
I have a 23 and it’s amazing, feels like a tank. I will say to people who are curious about the drive is that it drives like a truck because it is a truck. It’s bulky and not very agile but at the same it is very satisfying drive.
The turning radius is great. I just bought a 23 4R pro and I’m very pleased coming from a full size F-150. I sure do miss the instant power of turbos though.
Back in October I got an Off Road Premium (2023) for $5000 off MSRP in Portland Oregon. KDSS and no sunroof. Deals are out there if you’re savvy. I love it!
That's def a Blessing! Massive congrats to you, I saw a channel based in Oregon named Lil Kenny TV, he was showing high discounts at some Oregon dealers.
Would you mind sharing with us more details regarding your deal, were there additional fees added or inflated dealer fees?
Even if there is, not a big deal considering how sizeable their discount was. Thanks for sharing!
I had been watching the market for awhile. I started seeing prices normalize last summer. Starting in September I saw tons of 4Runners on the lots here in the PNW. Most dealers were still in full on greed mode. By October I started seeing lots of them advertised for 2-3K under MSRP. I'd say the mix of inventory was heavily tilted towards Limiteds and Off Road and Off Road Premium. I am very tall so having a sunroof was a deal breaker for me, which is unfortunate because most of the ORP's had sunroofs. It's hard to search for a vehicle that is lacking a particular option. I kept checking dealer inventories online looking for what I wanted, which was an ORP with KDSS and no sunroof. I test drove a KDSS and a non KDSS back to back and I had to have that suspension. Lots of curvy mountain roads where I live, and it makes a big difference.
I found one at Beaverton Toyota in white. I really didn't want white. It was 3K off of MSRP with no BS add ons. If it would have been a color I wanted I would have bought it, but luckily for me they dropped the price another 2K at the end of October. I found one another two hours away from me at Lillard Toyota in McMinnville in Nautical Blue, same exact options. I also found one in Lunar Rock. I know that is the cool trendy color but I liked the blue better. I don't think they'd have given me the same deal on the Lunar Rock and that dealer was shady AF. I called Lillard and told them if they would take $5000 dollars off of MSRP on the blue one I would drive down that day (last day of October) and write them a check for it.
So I get to the dealership late afternoon and saw the truck, it was exactly what I wanted. The MSRP was roughly $49.3K, and they took $5000 off of MSRP, but told me I had to pay $300 for their bullshit VIN etching "theft deterrent". So in reality it was $4700 off of MSRP. I paid 44,500 or so for an Off Road Premium with KDSS (plus tax and fees, of course). No ADM, no other add ons. I knew I was still getting a killer deal, and if I'd have wanted to make a scene I could probably have gotten it knocked off, but I wasn't going to let $300 harsh my mellow at that point. I love the vehicle. I suppose I might have gotten a little bit better of a deal but I didn't want to risk losing the vehicle that had the exact options I wanted in a color I liked. This was a 2023 by the way. No regrets. I plan on keeping this as my adventure vehicle for a long time. That particular combination of Premium with KDSS and no sunroof is a rare find. I actually took it off roading in the mountains last weekend and used the crawl control and rear locking diff to get myself out of a slushy snow pile. It was incredible!
Your SR5 looks killer! I love that color. Enjoy!
@@MeynMotorGroup
Incredible thank you for sharing this with us my friend, and my apologies for responding 2 weeks later been getting flooded with comments so it was hard to keep track of responses.
Really appreciate you describing the benefits of KDSS it really is a brilliant system and buttons up the 4Runner nicely, glad you were able to get it.
And yea epic deal as well 4700 off is excellent no need to spoil the mood over 300 let them have that 😅 especially for a spec you truly wanted.
Massive congrats once again on your purchase, I too love the blue. Enjoy!
Just bought this exact same car and used Jim. Getting delivered this weekend. Thanks for all you videos, they helped a lot in the process.
Massive congrats my friend def update us once you've taken delivery. Yea Jim was a huge blessing for me because in NC, all my local dealers are on some serious b.s.
Congratulations on an awsome purchase.Great review too. I badly want one myself.
Thanks!
Welcome to the 4Runner family! I bought my 2016 Trail Edition new in June 2017. Have about 194.5K miles on the ODO and it has treated more than well.
With the 6th Gen coming out, I think these late 5th Gen Runners will be more appreciated within the next couple of years.
Thank you my friend and that is awesome! So happy to hear your 4Runner has been so dependable for you. 5th Gen def has an organic quality that I believe will be lost when the 6th gens come out
Muscles66…, I picked up a 2018 TRD Off Road a little while back with 104k miles. Pleased with my purchase too.
@@pdx650 My man!
Excellent review. Looking forward to your future videos.
Thanks!
Excellent in-depth review!
Thanks!
Just bought wife a '24 trd off road premium in air force colors w powder coated grey trd rims.
That is awesome my friend massive congrats!
Great video, very informative. Looking to purchase a 4Runner TRD PRO soon. 👍
Thanks and that's awesome, please let us know when you take delivery!
Very comprehensive review - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m glad someone reviewed the 5th gen 4runnsr. Very hard to find a review!
Glad it was valuable!
Great job. This is why I bought a 2023 ORP. Love it….its a tank.
Massive congrats! That’s a great trim and glad you appreciate/understand these vehicles
loved your video. I went with the 2024 Limited. I love the TRD Pro but I opted for Limited for the additional creature comforts. Its definitely a gas guzzler, but I love it. Half the time you dont need to use the AC because the back window is like a godsend! lol
Only thing I really wish the 2024 models had was a slightly better quality camera, better infortainment software and maybe a slightly wider screen. I found those buttons for track, seek, phone rather pointless and it takes up space lol
Thank so much my friend for stopping by and for sharing your kind words!
Massive congrats on your brand new Limited! I agree, the features it comes with are great and practical.
Sliding window is a blessing and camera quality is def trash lol looks like 240p oh well. Enjoy the ride 👍
Very good review and Congrats on your purchase!
Thanks so much my friend as always I really appreciate the love and support over the years I know I say it all the time and it's getting old 😅
@@MeynMotorGroupNah buddy it never gets old 😀
@@Excalabur50Thank you sir!
great review!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video thanks so much for the Intel
Not a problem my friend glad it was valuable
Love your videos man , thanks for being honest and transparent when it comes to your vehicle reviews, i feel like now a days "big automotive youtubers" get paid to promote the new cars but fail at pointing out the details such as build quality etc ,, now it's the time to get one of these "old school" 4runners as people will regret later on not getting this one when the new 6th gen comes out,
As @automotivepress said in his 4runner mini documentary, this is pretty much a Toyota that has lexus build quality and it's still built in the best toyota factory in japan , this is not the latest and greatest , if you want a nice fancy interior go get a bmw o Mercedes and let's see how long it'll last 😅 , the 4runner is for someone who really appreciate the driving feeling of a well put together kinda old school truck ,only a few will know what im talking about 😊
I appreciate your kind words, yea 4runner is def a last of its kind and this is our last chance to get one.
Great video! Great job staying unbiased for pros and cons, but also really appreciate the reasons why you purchased and how the different options (such as sidestep selection) fit your life. Also, jealous of your mpg (LC100 owner)!
Hey thanks man glad you appreciated my perspectives and found value with the review. LC100 is an epic machine really glad you got one of those Land Cruisers so rare to see them on the road, enjoy my friend!
How many miles you have on it? How’s the paint? I’ve heard these pastel flat colors swirl mark easy? How have you washed yours and how does it look overall?
Great video!! I’ve decided to get a 4Runner now , once my 1st gen ridgeline gives up on me but right now it’s running like a champ .. do you plan on purchasing the Lc500 again ?
Nice! You will love the 4Runner. LC deals are trash right now you can practically lease a supercar for the price of the LC
@@MeynMotorGroup I know I will , I figured that , it’s just sad
I bought a new 2022 SR5P. Came out of a Tacoma. Did a lot of research. I'm very happy and comfortable with my decision. Plan to have it for a long time. Do the AC drain mod from viking garage, and the auto dash dim from GrizzlyPath . You'll be glad you did
Massive congrats my friend!
Lovin’ our 23 TRDORP in lunar rock!
Love that color!
Just picked up trd orp in underground and I’m loving it. I’m not sure what the future generation will bring but I know what I have. Have you looked into installing the tube off of the ac drain so it doesn’t leak on the frame and rot it out?
Massive congrats! And no I need to look into that thanks for mentioning!
Great video, very informative. At 19:12-19:13 I can clearly hear the hissing sound (like air venting from a small opening hose) when the brake paddle is applied. I have the exact same problem- initially it made me worried, but after some research it seems a common issue.
Yea all of these old school toyotas would do that we had a 2021 Tundra as well which made the same noise it's an issue you have to be worried about vehicle has great braking performance I personally kind of like the noise 😅
What’s the buyout amount after your lease is up? Thanks for the review & info!
About 32k I believe and you're welcome my friend.
I would recommend you to under coat this Vehicle with fluid film or even better B’laster Surface Shield. the only one thing annoying is the spry nozzle can doesn't work well. but the the liquid inside it will keep rust away for sure. it wont wash even by using power wash. this stuff stay on protecting the metal from salt and rust
The Wool Wax is a great product also i use the black.
Yea coating this is a must especially in the north east
Yo my bro and another Great one to catchup on 😅 thanx as always bro 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾🫡
Appreciate you my friend thank you for dropping in as always!
@@MeynMotorGroup No problem y bro 🤝😎🫡
Nice, bulletproof
A few cans of Fluid Film will prevent rust. Do it once every fall, trust me. It’s cost is penny’s compared to 600 or 700 dollars. I live in Indiana and my 14’ FJ has nearly zero rust.
I have a 2000 limited 4wheel drive bought new. dailey driver 175000 miles always been in the south. thanks for the info. But I'm good.
That is awesome!
Some 4 runners were at 17 city 21 highway.
You ain’t buying a 4Runner for gas mileage. The thing is easy to maintain, will last forever, go anywhere and keep its value
The trim set up makes a big difference in how the 4Runner drives / feels. The limited AWD with Xreas feels very different than an SR5 4x4.
I would hope so my friend it costs more and has a more intricate suspension setup
Well Done review! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for mentioning the information sources.
BTW we will see this car in next few decades because this is 4ever machine.
Thanks, and glad this content was valuable to you
❤What a lovely vehicle I must say.
It's still have the V6 and that's a winner with most manufacturers going with turbo charged 4 cylinders.
Keep up the great work Kevin.
Thank you my friend yea love that v6 has so much character and great sound
How many cars do you have out of curiosity?
Very thorough review of the last of the 5th gens. I didn't know the SR5 had MTM as an option. Still leaning towards the Off-Road premium.
Yea Off Road Premium is great my friend excellent choice let us know when you pull the trigger. God Bless!
@@MeynMotorGroup Still waiting to hear back from the broker you used. He must be busy after your video.
@@efromhb even before my videos the man was getting 75-100 messages a day just from leasehackr, after my vids his phone has been getting texts non stop 😅 he will get back to you tho
Last chance is right boys - I have mine
Do you have experience towing with a 4Runner? Considering trading out of my 3rd gen Tundra. My trailers is below the 4Runner’s towing capacity, but I just don’t know if it’ll tow it well.
Nope and honestly from what I've heard the 4runner is only good at towing low weight figures maybe 3k. Full size pick ups will give you the best stability and confidence when towing.
I think they can tow up to 5000lbs
@@rlshamon yes the max towing capacity is 5,000 lbs most don’t recommend maxing out a vehicle’s towing capacity
The 4.0 liter was great in the Tacoma very responsive.
Agreed!
I’ve heard that the LED headlights on these are poor? What’s your take?
Lights are fine they're not audi laser lights but they get the job done
Just FYI it’s running on the same platform/frame as the 4th gen 4Runner with some modifications of the steel used on the 5th generation.
Yea it's a car from 2003
My complaints on my 5th generation.
-paint chips rather easily
-makes a wierd "squirt " noise at 4 mph. I was told it's a ABS system check. I find it annoying.
-when on a steep hill and you're in drive, if you roll backwards it makes a loud clunk. My 4runner has hill assist.
Can Jim get those same deal from Lexus since they are Toyota?
No Lexus deals Lexus would be a different dealership. Toyota is his number 1 seller but he also offers Chevrolet and Kia
About to buy a new TRD ORP. Was shocked to find out they don’t have automatic headlights? Is that real for a 2024? Lol
Yup no auto headlights not sure about Limited tho that might have auto headlights again not sure
Seen a 2024 4Runner TRD PRO in my town and what a beautiful vehicle! I live in Canada and the price on the 4Runner is insane! $70,000 + I would never buy the new Tacoma or 4Runner with only the turbo 4 cylinder coming out now 👎🏻👎🏻
Yup...price in Canada is insane !....picked up a TRD Sport (2024) and the friggin' BS tax alone was $9k !.....and now we have Trudolf's BS carbon tax too !!!!
Yes our ass clown of a PM is literally destroying Canada. I want a 4 Runner but as I approach retirement, the prices on new ones just unaffordable. Used ones are much only option and they all have over 70k for 46k plus
Bravo
Will be getting a 2024 Toyota TRD 4runner Off Road Premium...loaded with $5400 in packages.
Base MSRP $47k
TSRP $53K
$3500 OFF TSRP
Paid $49,500
Massive congrats my friend and great deal! Let us know how you're liking the vehicle
Wat Toyota? I’m getting one by the end of 2024
I’ll probably end up buying a 4Runner before the end of the year. I kept thinking I’d buy a Subaru for the off-road and AWD features but Toyota is just so long lasting. The only thing that sucks is the MPG
Yea the 4Runner is nice it's the type of vehicle you don't get bored of driving easily
Hi do you have a link of Jim’s discord group?
You just text his number in the description box
AT tires at 40 PSI work for me without wandering.
Thanks for sharing and confirming
I must have a heavy foot, consistently getting 12 mpg driving my bone stock 2023 in the city
My 2023 also gets 22/23 miles per gallon on the highway when I’m chilling and taking it easy…
If you accelerate hard, yeah. That changes gas miliage more than any v6 gas tech will.
No ride gets the most scrutiny than the Honda Ridgeline, which is the best daily mid-sized truck.
Great review. Making me question whether i should trade in my '18 Rav4 for a 4runner. I need to go test drive one. Even though the (partial) reveal for the new one came out today.
Def try it and let us know your thoughts!
IMO this is the last generation of Organic SUV. Don’t miss it.
I have a 2024 TRD Sport and it has "auto headlights".....
Hi, I am in the market for a 4Runner . Thanks for all the useful info and for giving us the contact info to Jim . Will definitely call him . I am in southern texas and we get hit with pretty hefty premiums over msrp here . I just don’t want to play those games
Not a problem my friend yea I'm in NC and the dealer games here are insane I hope Jim helps you find what you need
Spoke to him. Not sure how you got your deal but he says not able to approach what he got you . 🤔
@@gaeleus interest rates for leasing is the same as March when I purchased.
I’m guessing you’re either not leasing, not putting down MSDs on a Lease, or not doing a One Pay Lease.
If you’re not doing a One Pay Lease or putting down MSDs on a Lease it will be impossible to replicate my deal. But same programs are still going on.
I am leasing . He didn’t even bother providing numbers or a quote for me . When I told him about your advertised price, he said he could not match . Maybe he has a lot of business . Bottom line, he didn’t even try
@@gaeleus Yea he's pretty slammed even before my vids I would stay on top of it. Go to the leasehackr forum. Find his page and his build sheets and pick a stock number with the options/MSRP you want and he will give you numbers, there's also a leasing calc on the leasehackr forum you can use. These are the things I did to not waste my time or his when I reached out to him to buy a car, and no he didn't know I was on youtube when I reached out to buy, I just texted him like a regular customer.
I've been wanting a 5th Gen 4Runner for awhile and may have to snag up a used one if I can't get one soon.
The two Trims I am interested in are:
TRD Off Road Premium for those extra off road features like locking diff & crawl control. Plus softex seats.
And the SR5 Premium because it has most of what I want in the 4Runner and at a lesser cost.
I'd want it in Black or Grey.
The 4Runner really came onto my Radar a couple years ago when my job was flying me all over and I'd have to rent a vehicle. They would upgrade me & offer me the 4Runner. That's when I fell in love with it. It's such a solid vehicle I found myself thoroughly enjoying it every time I got behind the wheel. Just something about it really appeals to me.
No it doesn't have all the latest tech & bells/whistles some other vehicles have.. but I don't care.. That truck will last me 15-20years.. that is what I want.
16 mpg with a 5 speed transmission. Put some money aside for gas, you’ll need it. It’s an excellent vehicle but it’s time for an update.
Most 3 row family suv turds are just as bad in the real world 16 is amazing for such an ancient drivetrain.
Vehicles with 10 speeds and direct injection get maybe 18 mpg real world. All gimmicks with no real world benefit.
I want SR5, but absence of Automatic Air Conditioning is a deal breaker for me.
You're such a nice guy.
Thank you my friend
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The driver seat for me at 6' 1" isn't comfortable. It needs more adjustments like my RX350 to support the back of your legs. A real shame I want it. Putting seat jackers on and putting a towel under your legs is nonsense.
I’m 6’4 and fit fine
Compliment your 4Runner with a cheap little gas sipper!! And not just ONLY gas money, but also when you need to go somewhere where you have tight congested parking spots and you don’t wanna risk a car door hitting your 4Runner. Or for simply keeping the mileage lower on your “Soon to be extinct” 5th gen 4Runner.
It’s amazing but they know how much money we’re gonna spend on gas for its lifetime. It’s a lot of money for the 2024 and the tacomas too. What’s the price for trucks in 15 years gonna be like $75k for a base model come on
To be fair the MSRP is irrelevant as long as the vehicle holds its value. A 200k Porsche GT3 is amazing value because 3 years from now you can sell it for 200k with miles on it…obviously the high buy in price keeps 99% of the world from enjoying that luxury of driving cars essentially for free. Stuff like this 4Runner is as close as most can get to driving cars for next to nothing but we have to learn and adapt
Bought the 2024 T4R TRD OR in the Solar Octane color. The paint is absolutely horrible quality, it chips off easily from the smallest chip-stones. The 4R is only 4 months old and it wasn't driven in the winter but the underside - especially the frame welds - is rusting already. The vehicle seems very rust-prone. I bought it with the idea that I'd use it for a long time, but I do not see how it would last long with its shitty paint and rust-prone body panels and frame. Build quality, compared to my Acura, is very crude but sufficient for the purpose (long trips, overlanding). Acceleration needs high revving which I dislike - I much prefer the linear acceleration of my Acura's 3.7 V6 - it is much more precise and safe in overtaking other vehicles. The steering is vague and it tracks to right on most roads which is unergonomic/tiring and probably bad for the tires too. The fuel economy is not that bad given its size and its primitive engine-transmission combo. For what it is, I feel the vehicle is severely overpriced; however, I do not see a viable alternative to it on the North American market with regards to the mid-size body on frame offers - the Wrangler is not as comfy and reliable and Bronco's reliability is also questionable. I have to fix the paint chips and put on a Xpel clear bra. Hopefully, this will somewhat mitigate the weak paint issues. But the rust remains an issue - probably, I'd have to rust proof the frame and the body panels.
Massive congrats on your purchase beautiful vehicle. So far, I have not had any of those issues.
Underground paint is swirled up but not chipping and there's no rust.
Before you pay to do anything, you should take your vehicle to a Toyota dealership and have some of this stuff covered under warranty.
You have rust coverage of 60 months/unlimited miles. You can get a free alignment done by Toyota within the first year of buying.
My vehicle tracks straight and does not pull to any side. Also check your tire pressure.
Toyota might even install free clear bra for you if you mention the paint chipping. Won't be high quality clear bra like Xpel but if they do it for free, it would be worth it.
Get corporate involved as well.
I love t4r’s, having owned four of them, but they are all overpriced. Toyota made back their investment some time ago and these are just profit monsters now. Remember they were going kill them off back in 2010 after dismal sales years. Still, I would buy a pro just for the fun of it, because I’m an idiot. 😵💫. And there are thousands of us….sad really. Cheers. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
I just did in Terra colour 😂
They ruined it years ago too much safety garbage they monitor everything you do and send info to Toyota no option to opt out of that You can't find a basic SR5 model the lowest model any dealer around me has is the one you got the premium and they add crap till it is at 47000.
What about that iphone you're using to make this comment? You can't hide my friend, have faith in Christ that's about all you can do in this wicked world.
i have no i phone using laptop@@MeynMotorGroup
I wouldn’t be too worried about the Japanese Toyota corporation in terms of monitoring you….Much bigger evil entities to worry about. They just focus on quality cars 😂
Enjoy 2008.
Thanks!
I love 2008!!!
All 4Runner generation are great.
K.I.S.S. - keep it simple, stupid.
Terra = 💩
what heppend to GX?
I think you’re asking why I didn’t choose the GX over the 4Runner? Main reason is because GX would cost several thousands more if I wanted to purchase at lease end
@@MeynMotorGroup i though you had a GX.. wrong channel, different indian guy.. lol
@@juanshaftpatel7488 oh yes I think I know who you’re referring to he had a TRD Pro now he’s got a white GX. Believe he’s modding his GX for off roading
@@MeynMotorGroup LMAO... yeah thats him... great looking 4 runner BTW...
