- A new #Toyota4Runner is coming for 2025, but if you cannot wait, the 2024 #4RunnerTRDPro is the pinnacle of the #4Runner lineup and the #TRDPRO can still take you to a lot of places further off the beaten path than most of its midsize rivals. #Toyota may be selling an old truck, but its still one of the most capable and reliable new vehicles on the planet.

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend. As much as this truck badly needs a redesign, we’re going to miss an old school truck like this. We’ll be at a big Toyota event next month and we are expecting the redesigned 4Runner to be revealed there so stay tuned for our coverage from that event in April!
The lap of honor for the 5th generation 4Runner has been longer than the lifespan of many models. 😉
Does it being part time 4 wheel drive help with mpg's?
The fuel economy on a 4Runner is simply the reliability tax.
Although does fuel economy really matter in this kind of car these days?
@@naveenthemachineyes? Gas is expensive in some parts and EVs/hybrids are becoming more and more popular
@@chibbyylolbut if you’re getting an off-road car or luxury vehicle and already spending luxury car money are you going to lose sleep over getting low mpg?
Clown, when you can spend this much on a top-tier off-road machine, fuel economy is nothing. Foh and go drive a prius.
@@chibbyylolPeople that are real off readers don’t care about that. You just deal with it or you don’t own a vehicle like this.
This is the last great Toyota. I upgraded from a 21 SR-5 Premium to a 24 Pro. It is PERFECT!!! All the things you point out as annoyances are what makes is so great. It’s reliable and capable and does not have a turbo or a ten speed transmission that will not last as long as this powertrain. I road tripped the 21 and it’s a comfortable cruiser. I’m no Luddite. I have a 23 C8 Stingray and love the tech. But there can be room for basic reliable vehicles like this as well.
I'm 44 and this will be the last car of my life. It is the newest of the oldest tech, DIY-friendly car on the market.
That’s exactly what I said when I bought a 2022 TRD Off Road Premium. I work from home, so I’m only averaging 6500 miles a year (so far).
I did the same thing. Mid 40s got the 2023 trd off road premium and will own until I or it dies haha
Im 66 and retiring. This is my gift to myself. My last car as well. Im sure it will out live me.
I’m the same age and I’m planning to get this😊
Same about to hit 40 but need to build a fleet
Having owned a TRD Pro for about 6 months now, I definitely understand the popularity of the 4Runner. It is the perfect size, easy to maneuver, comfortable and fun to drive, and has awesome reliability.
And it’s a great way to stay in shape.

Lots of haters hating up in here. PLEASE give me a similar alternative to this vehicle that will outlast it with minimum maintenance. I’ll wait. Don’t waste my time with Ford/Chevy/Jeep garbage.
Honda passport 🤓
@@User16589not exactly a fair comparison….car based vs truck based
@@Almighty_cornholiohe just said outlast a 4Runner with little maintenance, passport is also very similar in cargo space and has a slightly more powerful engine, only thing it doesn’t have is the ground clearance
@@User16589 it also doesn't have 4wd on frame body it's a awd unibody vehicle. It's also not geared for off road use It's more for street use so the engine will feel better regardless of power. It's just not a good comparison that's why he mentioned Ford/Chevy/jeep. They have 4wd vehicles which is more similar built to this lol but maintenance wise yeah they'll both last awhile but your better off comparing the passport to a rav4.

I’ll take crap gas mileage in exchange for 300,000 miles of reliability
Can you honestly say you’d keep a car for 20 years to achieve that? (Assuming 15k miles a year) Longevity is great and all, but the percentage of people who actually do this is incredibly low. Unless you’re buying a used one with 200k+ miles already on it.
If you’re buying new, and only keeping it the average 5 years that people keep their cars, then there are much better options out there for $55k
@@jakes5530 if it means not having a car payment…
@@jakes5530 i mean ive had my car for 15 years now. i dont see the need to constantly change cars when it works perfectly fine.
only fools buy a new car every 5 years. @@jakes5530
Changing cars constantly keeps people broke all the time
This is an instant classic vehicle that enthusiasts will search for forever.
i just got the '24 off road premium which had all of these options added to it, including all the black badging/labels, black off road trd tires, black exhaust tip, heated steering wheel seats, etc... it's pretty much an offroad pro and i absolutely love it! i would definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone. Plus putting all the seats down probably gives you more room than a tacoma bed from what i saw at the dealership, maybe it was the short bed i was looking at i'm not sure. You could live in this thing if you had to. It's immense inside, you can take it anywhere and from i understand you can get around 400 miles on a full tank which should run you about $100, compared to my prius C which got the same 400 miles for about $40-$45. Next i wanna get it wrapped in black matte, add a brow, and tint the front two side windows the same tint as the rest of the windows that are already tinted. Make sure you get a vehicle when there is a special going on like mine was, it will easily save you a few hundred bucks a month. i think the deal was also better because the dealership was surrounded by homeless encampments and there was a crazy homeless guy screaming the whole time we were in their, so that might have helped, basically certain dealerships might charge less than others depending on the area, city, etc.... anyway that's my story.
People talking about MPG as if this isn't a heavy, boxy SUV with 4x4. You don't buy a vehicle like this for MPG. If MPG is your concern, buy a Civic or Rav 4.
I spend the whole week trying to get that exact trim level here in Florida, and it’s just insane all the dealers markups. Prices went from 77k to 66k. Good luck to everybody who’s trying to get a msrp price on this truck.
You can drive the 4H if the roads are not dry if needed, but keep it in 2H to get best fuel mileage. Regarding the lift gate, with the exception of a handful of Limited owners I know (in our local 4Runner club of 150+ vehicles), none of us want that power lift gate … especially with the mods we do. This truck is very relaxing to drive, lots of visibility, comfortably high up, this isn’t supposed to be driven quickly around town or the hwy. With my mods to increase off road capability (bigger/heavier tires, steel skid plates/front bumper/winch, roof rack) on short trips I get about 14.5 mpg, but on longer trips (+8 miles) I start to get 17-18 mpg. Aftermarket rust proofing, change your fluids often, and folks are easily getting 300K miles and more with no issues.
The engine shut off when you open the door , for safety, just in case you remote start it, so nobody will jump into your TOYOTA and run off with it 😂😂😂😂😂
But they could do it where you get in and press the power button, and then the electronics and drive system enables. The whole point of remote start is to warm up the engine and it shutting off kinda takes away from that a little bit
That’s old tech. New systems stay on but you can’t drive unless you press start button.
Toyotas remote systems are from 90’s.
The 24 Tacoma that was fixed so I’m assuming from here on now there future cars will be too.. the grand highlander stays on also does not shut off …
No. It's just lame. Most systems require you to hit the "lock" function prior to remote start, then you have to hit the start button to drive. It's just Toyota being lazy.
Tbh it doesn’t need a redesign. It looks great as is. If they did a transmission swap perhaps the 6, 8 or even 10 speed, and put in the 3.5L 2GR v6 and did nothing else, they’d have an instant winner. Because if almost any new Toyota redesign is anything to go by, the next gen 4Runner will be a disaster
Naveen, Toyota doesn't do disasters. But it's nice to see that you have finally said something positive about the world's best automotive company. 👍
?? The new Tacoma is fairly handsome and it’d likely look like that but SUV version
@@chibbyylolbut the Tacoma has a useless rear seat and it’s overpriced
@@gerry9306they don’t? The bz4x, tundra, sequoia, and crown aren’t disasters? 😂
@@naveenthemachine okay maybe but I’d think the SUV version would have better backseats no? And the pricing can be better but it’s just the nature of truck these days
As a Toyota hater , I’m here to admit my wrong doings. I’ve been around these 4 runners alot the last few years on the trail and they are fantastic vehicles
On the trails they are awesome. On the highway, they are awful.
Congrats on 1 mil subs ya ll !
Why is that ALL the auto reviewers have a problems with having no or minimal changes to a vehicle when it works perfectly. It's like if they have some supposedly new and "improved" tech its going to make it better every time (it doesn't). This vehicle does what they do better than most in their class.
Cuz there is nothing new to talk about for them😂, no need to make more videos 😂 no more income for them, they always want the latest fancy stuff for review
always love watching 4runner videos every year. also as former 4runner owner i can tell you most ppl hate the power lift games, it takes forever to open and close espically when youre in a hurry.
Thank you, I thought I was the only one who thought the power lift gates take FOREVER to open and close! And you know the motor is gonna blow out after a while. Yes you can say the struts on the 4runner one will too, but they're easy to replace and waaay cheaper.
This guy is thrill seeker kind of a driver and doesn’t appreciate what makes the 4 Runner so reliable.
I have a 06 4runner sportedition 4x4, with 366k miles and still going strong. This 4.0L V6 5spd pairing is rock solid. Still getting 20mpg a as well mixed driving. Sure its a bit thirsty but the reliability is unmatched.
I have a 2007 with 180k, a lot to catch up but hoping it can go 500k.
@@dhlee627 same, my goal is 500k, 🤞
Old design but still the best looking SUV on the market today
Best looking SUV? Toyota fans are more of cultist. They could put out a skateboard and y’all will buy it claiming the most reliable and best designed skateboard known to man. Certainly a different type of buyer who is heavily wrapped up in brand perception and propaganda.
@@G-Rated agree, Toyota in general builds the ugliest lineup of vehicles. I get the reliability and that has a level of appeal but this is in the bottom third of SUVs for appearance.
Agreed! It still stands out over all these crossovers
Definitely not the best looking. I wish its fit and finish was better. Its paint is thin and it does rust easy.
I wish Toyota would coat these things before paint like the Germans do. That way no rust.
I love your reviews but I think you’re way too harsh on the 4R. Yes, we all know how old the specs are but yes, it more than ‘feels like it’s built to last’, as you say…it does last! The poor mpg is more than made up for in the reliability and longevity. And to me it’s really comfortable on long trips, on the hwy, etc. And it will never strand you. The ‘old school’ feel is what makes it great. No electric steering, no turbo…love it! 100k mi on my ‘17 and zero issues/problems. I’m sure the next-gen 4cyl turbo will be reliable, as far as 4cyl turbo’s go, but the 1GR-FE engine is a legend. Oh, and the ‘S’ in the transmission isn’t ‘sport’, its ’sequential’ and simply limits the top-gear the trans will go into (and you downshift manually there too).
They still break down. Many at dealers always getting worked on. My friend is a manager and he says they still have issues. It’s just not common.
Picked up one on Friday love it
Congrats! Welcome aboard!! I'm on my second 4runner. First one was a limited. This is a trd orp. The good Lord willing I'll hold on to this one for good.
Have fun stopping at the gas station 2 or 3 times a week. Love the vehicle, hate the MPG.
@@MTB_Rider_96 got a 2018 gt350 so I’m used to it I like to think of it as smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon.
Congrats! Should last for about 3 decades!!
@@MTB_Rider_96$70 a day. 😂
I have a Limited and I love it!!
Wow, this 4Runner is a dandy.
@Brian_Eugene_Lee It may not be the most luxurious but love it.
Yes, but you have to get up to the Limited.
A limited makes sense to daily in bad weather. Atleast you can utilize your AWD in bad weather unlike the 4WD.
Did he really put it in 4 wheel drive on dry pavement to see if it went faster in 0-60? That's crazy. It's not meant to be drag raced in 4 wheel drive. Also the buttons on the back don't lock the tailgate, they are the rear window controls. The 4Runner is more geared towards offroading. Especially the TRD Pro and OffRoad premium. It will go where almost any other vehicle in it's price range can't except for Jeeps. But a hell of a lot more reliable than a Jeep. Yeah it's old but proven reliable. Hopefully the new 6th Generation will be too but not sure of the turbo 4 bangers.
Yes. That trader case was not loving that. Definitely took life off of it.
Got me a 24 TRD off-road premium about 2 months ago, I'm really liking this thing, so grateful the opportunity arose the way it did for me to get it. Quality & simplicity! Love it! The only update I see it could use is take off about 1/2 of the technology, it would then be perfect!!
Personally I'd buy the 4Runner TRD "off-road" all of them are badass from the SR5, TRD pro, off-road & limited... Whatever is your style your in good hands
Only the DRL is halogen. The low and high beam are in the one led module.
Hands down the best mid sized ,longest lasting ,best quality SUV out there made in JAPAN-its truly the last of the greats-buy the dinosour while you still can. A turbo 4 cylinder with a battery made in mexico coming soon
Delusion. This thing isn’t the best a single thing other than being around well pasts it’s expiry date. It’s drives like a shit and the interior is downright uncomfortable. Reliability is all it has and that’s because it uses 20 year old mechanicals.
@@MercOne Number 1 in reliability and resale also its the best built SUV out of japan for the money hands down!! The new model will have many problems just like other new Toyota models-good luck
@@Jojo-ni2cg reliability isnt everything. i drove a 98 tacoma until recently (extended prerunner v6, manual windows, seats, ac w/ 4spd auto). yeah it was reliable, but literally nothing else. i still drive it occasionally whenever im hauling bikes, but other than that i vastly prefer my new and far-nicer altima. going 90 on texas toll roads was pretty scary in that tacoma
Toyota is overrated. All they have is reliability, which is easy when your car is underpowered and they don't update the tech for 20yrs. Toyota fan boys are almost as bad as vegans 😂
@@mal4951 hahaha altima? good luck with that cvt transmission
Good review and you seem like a nice guy.But you literally reviewed it like it's a modern crossover.Trd pro/4runner buyers don't care about a power lift gate,etc.You want the latest in everything new buy a wrangler/bronco.4runner owners are the opposite
It’s on sale right now it should be compared to other things you can buy right now. I understand what you’re saying but someone buying new will compare a 2024 to a 2024 vehicle. Different features matter to different buyers. I prefer no power lift gate to buy some buyers want that so he’s just covering all his bases.
Nice to see you guys finally hitting the 1 million subs mark! Felt like 950k-1m was taking a while! What a great channel.
2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD PRO Terra 4X4!
This 4Runner has aged well tbh ~~ yes it is dirt old, but that’s the point of something like this. You buy it for the reliability and for its off-road capability. I wouldn’t be mad if Toyota continued to keep the 4Runner like this because it still will look timeless and also this car will last you a lifetime. The engine and transmission are so old that it is just a proven design where if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Although the fuel economy is just so abysmal 😅😅 but I’m sure people don’t care about that when they get this car
i paid off my 2018 mazda 3 two years ago. $52k is insane. I think I'll save for a house instead of a depreciating asset. damn I want it though
90,000 on my 2019 limited. Original tires and brakes. Only oil and filter changes. 19.5 mpg all the time. Regular unleaded saves more than a higher mileage 4-cylinder turbo that needs premium.
I have a 2022 Off Road I bought used. Only had 44k on it love it. Great off road and a great car😃 looks great too. I put BFGs same size as those on it 🤘🏻🤘🏻
How often do you take it off-roading?
That’s gotta be the fastest 0-60 Ive ever seen for this gen 4runner. Most are mid-8s like your second run
I don't want a power liftgate, i dont want screens, i dont want BS safety items, i dont want LED headlights. Fortunately the 4runner has held off from using some of these things. Still It's my favorite vehicle.
You are paying for it at 60k. You just don’t receive it. People need to stop overpaying on these. It’s a 40k vehicle new.
The high beam is also LED, the DRL is not. That changed in ‘22
I just picked up a 2015 with 70k on it.. And I love it so far
I’ll bet you paid at least 35k😊
@@whitemailprivilege2830probably not much less if so. I have been looking at used trd off roads and premiums. Used 2020-2023s with 20 to 60 are about 36k to 42 depending
I bought a new SR5 about a year ago, and took it to Malibu. Drive great on the highway.
Smooth, quiet, very well-made and got 23 MPG, which was much better than I was expecting
The problem was around town, it was just big and clumsy, didn't hide bumps well, and got 15 MPG
So I traded it for a Tucson Hybrid, which was exactly what I needed, as a daily.
What a downgrade
@@nickschulman986 Thanks for the ignorance
@@InvestBetter. Your car so I'm glad you like it. If you wanted a smooth ride around town and good fuel economy the "ignorance" was in your original purchase... All that considered, the 4Runner is still a vastly superior vehicle and will outlast the Tucson by a large margin. Then there is the resale value... Again, glad you like your new car though.
😂
Still love these things!! Such tanks.
Well the v6 is more reliable than a turbo 4 why Toyota wants to get rid of it not a good move
Because it sucks. It’s outdated on so many levels. Are you kidding?
@@MercOneI do agree that it is old, I disagree however about it sucking. The 4.0 has a very linear power curve and the power band is extremely wide considering its large displacement and low stress nature. Plus, there’s nothing more reliable than something this simple and low stressed.
Toyota really doesn’t have a choice due to the chokehold the EPA has on emissions every year. It is sad to see the 4.0 go, but I think the 2.4t will do just fine once all of the kinks have been worked out. Toyota aren’t strangers to building impressively over-engineered turbo powertrains, and judging from break down videos of the motor I’ve found on YT it seems like a lot of the core fundamentally sound engine technologies used in prior turbo engine applications are present. It’s pretty interesting if you’d look it up.
@@huythai1222 You talk as though this is 1999 or 2005. This pos is a relic. It drives like utter shit. The engine only one aspect of that.
@@MercOne Definitely. It's overrated trash. 5 speed transmission and a V6 with shit power and shit fuel economy. Rides like shit on tarmac and has the worst interior of any car currently.
If you can get one, I would. This is the color and model to get with it being the last year. This color is incredible in person and I think will be very rare in years to come.
I just bought a 2024 TRD off road premium to compliment my 1996 4Runner SR5 sport. Basically the same vehicles but the new one has improved 4 wheel drive systems
3:50, the high beams are LED, same bulb for low & high beam. The halogen bulbs are for the DRL.
This gen will only increase in value when the new one comes out! It would be a great investment
My wife has a 2020 4Runner Limited. I drive a 22 Model Y, I tried to get her to buy an EV 9. Nope, she won’t give up her 4Runner she loves it. I think it is a great looking vehicle and for a large SUV rides OK. But the horrible 0 to 60 performance in a very underpowered six cylinder engine is not for me. Your description that the 4Runner is a chore to drive is spot on.
4Runners good resale value and loyal buyers hopefully Toyota won't mess with it too much with the next generation like honda did with the accord with the design
Average cost between $68 to $80k with dealer markups etc.,
These are a steal with only a $10,000 dealer markup.
not any more got mine for list!
It is a lifestyle not only a truck. It has that look and feel of a real truck (something like the old Defender), and for those who appreciate that, driving it is always a pleasure. When I drive my 2023 Runner TRD Pro I enjoy everything even the sound which many people don't appreciate, but then again only a few people buy this truck for its real purpose.
Wish I could get the 2024 in VooDoo blue.
Thanks for the quality review. I just lucked out and got my ‘24 TRD Pro in Terra 2 weeks ago, previous customer cancelled after a 4 month wait & I walked in when it showed up! I love it so much. I know some want the new design, but I love the V6 and do not care for all the new tech it will probably offer. It will do everything I need it to do in the Rocky Mtns.
2015 - First TRD Pro costs $42k. 2024 costs 15k more for pretty much the same car.
So true! Inflation is a b*tch 😭
Right, except it now has a moonroof, a JBL sound system with a subwoofer, push button start with a proximity key system, a heated steering wheel, a head unit with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, blind spot monitoring, a 360 surround view camera system, adaptive radar cruise control, lane departure warning, & an automatic emergency braking system. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying those things are worth $15,000, but there's no reason to pretend like it hasn't gotten a lot of updates since it came out. & that's not even factoring in inflation, which is unavoidable.
@@sawyermartin4434A base Kia comes with that standard at a 1/4 the price.
@ryanb8736 I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Surely you don't believe that a base model Kia a) comes with everything that I just mentioned standard, or b) is nearly as capable as a purpose-built off-roader. There's no reason to embarrass yourself any further man.

@@krane15
I can't afford it
@@krane15I highly doubt prices on these will dip anytime in the near future. When the next Gen comes out, they will be tough to get with markups likely. Not to mention there will be issues. The reason this generation is so popular now is because it’s proven reliable.

@@Kelly.H5 that’s the spirit
There's a saying here in Hawaii that the official vehicle of the Honolulu Police Department is the Toyota 4Runner, since a lot of cops drive it as their police subsidized vehicles. When people are on the road and see a Toyota 4Runner on the road, we need to double take to see whether it has a surf board on the top, or blue lights.
Needless to say, those cops aren’t chasing anyone on the hwy lol
Listen if you have a luxury car then technically you’d be saving money driving 4Runner even if you’re getting 15MPG.
I wish I were in a position to buy a new 2024 TRD Pro 4 Runner. I think this new tech is going to be unreliable as hell. May as well put Toyota and Lexus on par for reliability with the North American brands right away.
New Tech is super reliable. It’s the old tech that won’t last.

This car is absolutely perfect ❤. I’m so happy with mine. Forget all the modern babysitting tech
*Toyota is always the answer ❤*
I have a 23 TRD off road and love it! My only complaint is the back up camera. Let’s see if Toyota actually redesigns it. I’ve been hearing it coming next year since 2021.
Power Lift gate......please NO don't put that on a 4Runner. It cost me $2400 to repair on my Highlander and it then broke again a year later so I sold it! Power Lift gates are for soccer mom's carrying groceries, grannies that are too short, and millenniums that never met a gym and not off-load enthusiasts.
Just get yourself a Toyota Corolla and be safe and sound for the next 200k miles
I had a 4runner zero issues, I sold it with 190,000 Mi on it.
Or better get a rav4 hybrid to save all the gas, still be cheaper than this car.
@@blackwhirlwind1245 but you'd be driving a RAV4 and not a 4Runner...
These are worth every penny. Reliability and value can’t compared to any other SUV. Remember it’s only going up in value with the new 4 cyl hybrid only. The tried and true V6 is no longer.
The new 4Runner will be having a 14.5-in display
I’m on a mission to get one of these 2024 4 runners before they phase out I need that V6 bruh 😮
Theres a deserving much hype about the incoming 6th gen. Whether it retains the reliability, durability and character of the older model remains to be seen.
The reason the back doesn’t have a storage compartment under the trunk floor is cuz its body on frame, which won’t allow for one. Thats also why the spare is under the car & why the back seats fold in 2 parts
Awesome vehicle. Nothing is more important than reliability to me.
How about safety? Crash test shows deadly for passenger

@3:44 Correction - High beams are also LEDs. Those halogens are only for DRLs.
I don’t care if it’s old I love it because it’s beautiful and incredibly built and reliable… V6! 👍🏻 I’m sure the new one will only have a 4banger 👎🏻 turbo 👎🏻 and silly tec 👎🏻 I’m old school you can keep all the tec crap lol
The difference in quality and driving impressions between a Toyota that is on the TNGA architecture vs their older vehicles (like this) is insane. The 4Runner will be interesting being moved over to that platform. I hope Toyota does not get rid of the roll-down rear window. Stupid that it is gone on the Sequoia.
Just drove one recently, it’s a rental vehicle provided by enterprise, and the insurance company paid for it, I’m getting 13MPG in the city, 18MPG highway, horrible gas, steering is also not responsive, it’s not easy to keep straight, especially on the highway. Braking also needs to improve, you have brake much sooner than a unibody vehicle. Cabin noise is also pretty loud, especially on highway. But since it’s reliable, I totally understand why rental companies love these things, less cost on maintenance, and barely any repairs, all the gas expenses are on lessees anyway.
That V6 is definitely going away, that I force max coming in hot
Sadly, sucks to see all these people complaining about it already. I thought it was good choice but I might hang on to my v8s and v6s for a while
and a lot more problems to follow ,like the new tacoma
@Jojo-ni2cg yep. Tacoma is not built in the tahara plant in Japan. I think Mexico. 4runner, as of now is built in Japan.
@@jimmysautodetailing6984it’s just due to the fact that for the truck applications, the motor is too new and unproven yet. Every model from every manufacturer experiences kinks that will eventually be worked out when we’re talking about a from the ground up new model. To prove a point, the first vehicle that received the 3.4tt v6 was the LS500, and since 2020 I have not seen new documentations on any severe problems with the powertrain associated with that motor for its application on the LS500 or the LX600.
The difference between the power of a 4 vs a 6 is marginal, although the 6 probably doesn't need to work as hard.
whats the name of the trail? im not far from lancaster and would love to check it out!
Im getting a 4runner trd pro in 2 months really wanted to do a 94 pick up 24 tacoma thing but the 4 cylinders have been bad from what ive been seeing
I can't wait for the 2025 Toyota Foreigner 😂
😂Toyota should just name it “Foreigner”, CC kept translated to Foreigner.
The original 1GR-FE debuted in 2002, but in the Tacoma only. Not the 3rd Gen 4Runner. The 4th Gen 4Runner debuted in 2003, where it did receive the V6 as an option, along with the 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8.
I got as high as 23.5mpg on highway under 65mph. If you are driving it gently, my combined fuel economy has been above 19mph. Not too bad comparing to the Honda Pilot we also owned.
Does he like it or hate it? I think he's too worried about how fast it hits 60.
This isn't a sport car it a useful, dependable ride. Looks good to me despite a few flaws.
What is the point of launching this truck?
$60k after taxes. That’s crazy.
Sounds about right....
given today's market prices, where a Ford F-150 is like $75,000.
For an outdated dinosaur with vinyl seats 🤣
Mark up is 75k now.
😂this thing should top out at 45K max.
@blackwhirlwind1245
Bruh.... 45k that's the price of a Toyota Toyota Camry!
*NO WAAAAY.....* is a top line 4Runner only gonna be 45k. 😂
Being essentially, a rectangle, it isn't attractive at all. But because of the shape, it should be very functional. Gas mileage, however, is extremely poor. Other than the new paint, it definitely retains all the early 2000 fixtures and features.
@10:00 Do not like a black interior, but it is best for any family with small kids.
Anyway, from what I can see it has a great view outside the cabin. Its very open and airy and I don't notice any blind spots. Hopefully, that will carry over to the updated model.
Im having trouble justifying the TRD Pro, I have an Army Green Off road premium and it’s literally the same interior. Only difference I’m seeing is the suspension? Mine even came with the same wheels
It's almost perfect BUT it does not have ventilated seats.
Does all trd pro have the key remote starter? Its not listed on spec sheet. I see the remote connect pay app and i find that weird considering how old this truck's tech is.
Has anyone installed the aftermarket power lift gate kit on this. Dealbreaker for my petite wife not having that feature.
Redline and Company, I could use some real world 4runner advice. My fam is considering nabbing one of these final 5th gens. Narrowed it down to the Offroad Premium, Offroad Premium with KDSS, or the TRDPro. Resale value is meaningful, though we do keep vehicles for the long term. Mostly on-road and light trail performance prioritized. No major offroading or modification intended at this time (perhaps mods in future), but we like to have serious get-out-of-a-jam capability just in case. How would you rate these three options?
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY ☘️🇺🇲😎
Killer color!🔥
How many videos you have on this same 4 runner since 2010? 😂
Excellent review. Thankyou for sharing.
Wish it had a hatch unlock hatch button on the remote. Now other than that I love it. If we do not get the little Corolla Cross size off roader here in the states I would love an old school (compared to what is coming out) 4Runner.
I rented 2 of them and I fell in love with them. The only downfall was so outdated inside!
The outdated interior and fuel economy are the price you pay to have something that’ll run forever with little problems, practically.
So wait a min Toyota can’t design a vehicle with a modern interior and reliability? You can’t better fuel efficiency in a modern package from
Toyota?
@@MercOne You made a great point. That last comment doesn't seem well written.
@@KNRS927 I disagree. Sooo what you are saying is Toyota is only worried about the reliability not anything else?
@@Trance786 In this car, reliability and capability are likely the main factors toyota is worried about. Those are the main reasons people buy a 4runner. I mean there's a reason Toyota moves nearly 100k 4runners a year despite the fact it hasn't had a full redesign in over 14 years.
Is it safe to assume that the next gen is going to look similar to the Tacoma since they were alike in this generation?
This reviewer is terrible.. dude expected a faster 0-60 in 4Hi.. loloo😂
The three minute difference between the clock on the radio and the dash was bothersome 😂
I wish they had a 4 banger option
I love everything about the old 4Runner but the crash ratings. Does pretty poor with today’s standards.
