    I bought a new 4 Runner in 2019 despite many car review sites claiming it’s an antiquated dinosaur of a vehicle. I bought it precisely for the reasons cited. It is truly built like a tank and I feel confident driving it anywhere on our retirement adventures. Oh and the resale value on it is phenomenal. With the inflated values of used cars now it’s worth more than I paid for it

      I have an 07 (4th gen) which is essentially the exact same. Minus some weight (5th gens are 500lbs heavier), dual vvti (same v6 but it's single. However, 4th gens are quickest gen), 2wd only. But that's ok. (only 4th gens so far, are capable of full time 4hi as long as center isn't locked. Regardless of trim. V8 version are full time regardless)
      Anyway, I currently have 162k on mine. In the 6yrs I've owned it (purchased with 112k) most expensive maintenance item I needed to do so far, was my tires. These things are tanks. They cannot be beat in their durability or reliability outside of its own brand. Who gives a shit if it doesn't massage your balls as you wait for a tow truck? Or other flash are dash bullshit that doesn't really benefit you in any way? Especially in regards to offroading. Most versatile SUV imo. Lift em, slam em, overland, full blown off-road setup, can't go wrong if it's done right.
      Only qualm with mine, is paint isn't so good now (though it's rust free cus original to AZ). But it's combo my own laziness and our climate. Other than that, no worries at all. No worries of breaking down for no reason, no constant shop visits. No bullshit electrical problems (EVERYTHING works), no engine/trans issues. Shits solid. Yeah doesn't get the greatest mpg, doesn't drive like a car (because it isn't a crossover) not as techy (again it doesn't matter much. Can always add what you want later, if you have the money to do so). They're just simply unbearable by anything on American soil, for what they are (again outside its own brand.).
      People argue all the time how new bronco will knock the 4runner off it's high horse, lol, they're delusional as all hell. *taking their new bronco to the shop for the 50th time* "haha take that 4runner owners....😭"

Hand down i love the reliability and dependability of these Toyota SUVs and highly recommended. at around 120k - 150k Miles you need to change the rear traction Seal and the bearing (might as well) and you will know because the rear end differential fluid will leak on the rear tires. i have changed because someone hit me or got a good deal on a new one.

The MDX is definitely a better ride and I do notice some differences in the AWD systems. I took my MDX everywhere while working on the census, including places residents could not believe I really drove it through. Although the Passport is advertised as capable on unimproved roads, I do not think I would take it where my MDX went effortlessly (actually some of those roads were more like tracks through the desert). However, the Passport is a very nice car and I haul lots of equipment in it.

    Hey Shari,
    I Love your reviews. I look forward to watching them.
    In this review, you left out the Subaru Outback Touring, either with the Gutless naturally aspirated 2.5 or the powerful turbo 2.4.
    Both the Limited and the Touring offer leather interiors.
    The AWD system in the Subaru’s are far superior than any other unibody AWD .
    Anyhow, I enjoyed your review.

      @@robertlyon4804 I really like the nose of the 23 Outback, except for the cladding that goes from the bumper up into the headlights. If I bought a 23, then I’d have that cladding painted to match the Outback’s exterior color.
      It makes the Outback look cheap like the non painted bumpers of car’s built with plastic bumpers prior to 1990.
      We own a 19 Outback and love it, except for the CVT which robs the Gutless 2.5 naturally aspirated engine of horsepower and torque.
      Driving on our mountain passes with our foot on the floor and the RPMs at 5K and not gaining speed is ridiculous.
      We have Never got more than 30 mpg on the freeway with the cruise set on 75 mph.
      My 11 Rav 4WD Limited with a 3.5 V6 and 269 hp still gets 26mpg on the freeway and 21 mpg combination.
      I’m not impressed by the performance of the 2.5 at all. Turbo engines won’t last as long as a naturally aspirated engine.
      We Love the Napa brown leather interior and the Ivory interior on our 19 Outback.
      The infotainment system on the 20 and newer Outback’s, sucks.
      We looked at a 20 but decided to buy the 19 because of the confusing infotainment system on the 20.
      Subaru needs to start building normal geared transmissions. I understand that the CVT is supposed to get better fuel economy, but that’s a Lie. A 10 spd automatic transmission will get better fuel economy than the CVT. It boils down to the fact that a CVT costs less to manufacture. And a CVT won’t last as long as a normal transmission.
      And only 182 hp from a 2.5 is weak.
      After our Outback wears out, if Subaru still refuses to go back to a geared transmission and doesn’t provide a non plug in hybrid, we will probably replace our Outback with a Toyota.
      This is what I think about the 23 Outback

      They’re both based on the Hilux, but the fortuner is more sporty while the 4Runner is more for off roading. I think because the 4Runner is more off roading based, it’ll be built with more durable parts compared to the Fortuner.

    Totally agree, this list couldn't be any more accurate. I ordered a 2022 4Runner TRD Off-Road as my keep it forever zombie apocalypse vehicle. I had several Hondas, 3 with with the 3.5 litre V6. Total of 650,000 kms on those 3 vehicles and no issues aside from a rear brake caliper seizing due to salty roads and me not cleaning it. The 3.5 Honda engine is an amazing engine, I had a hard time not getting a used RDX, Ridgeline or Passport but the body on frame 4Runner with that reliability and roll down back window is the best vehicle made for the US/Canadian market.

      If you are not going to take it off road, the Highlander is probably a much better vehicle for you than a 4Runner. The 4Runner is reliable, but fuel economy is poor, the drivetrain is agricultural, the ride and handling are relatively poor, and there isn't much space in the back due to the solid rear axle.

      @@M1911jln then you would be very surprised how much I can fit in my own 07 4runner. (these came with optional 3rd row, but unlike Highlander, can be completely removed when not being used.) Fuel economy isn't that bad (05 f1shitty I came from was far worse). But the 4runner is in fact, far more versatile and far more reliable than a highlander. Both are great vehicles. (my stepsons g-pa had an 06 limited hybrid he bought new, had for over 10yrs problem free, aside from the dash lightshow he got near the end. Never had it fixed, as it never caused any adverse issues. Was just annoying. He handed it down to his daughter, who quickly destroyed it. Broke the sunroof, rear passenger window (both no longer functioned) destroyed the leather. (she's fucking horrible bro), got into a fender bender. He took it back. Sold to a Gardner for $800. Little worse for wear, but.....shit still ran and drove like it always had. Had over 280k by the time. This was like 7 yrs ago, Gardner STILL has it, and still drives it. Lol.)
      But it's a truck based SUV so what are people expecting? It's a legitimate SUV, not a crossover. Shit, today, it has no direct competitors.
      I didn't want to be reduced to a minivan with SUV body. So I got the 4runner. No regrets. 4th gens too, had the V8 as an option (same 4.7 used in land cruiser, tundra, Lexus gx460, sequoia), and are only gen regardless of trim, 4x4 models (mine is a 2wd only with the v6), can be driven in full time 4hi (v8 is full time anyway, v6 can do same as long as center isn't locked). So, they were capable of 2wd (only v6 models) AWD, or 4x4 (when locked and in 4lo). Not to mention standard features were a-trac (I have a 2wd version of that), downhill and uphill assist. Plus a button to turn off the side airbags for off-road situations.
      As a crossover, you couldn't go wrong with a highlander, or it's competitor the Honda pilot. (explorer needs to fucking be discontinued already. How they fuck they manage to keep selling those literal factory pieces of shit? Just how?)
      But for what it is, what it's capable of, and how versatile they are, you cannot find anything better on American soil, than a 4runner.
      Mine is base, I have side airbags front and rear, sunroof, can tow 5k lbs, projector headlights, led tails, 6 disc stereo with aux, fog lights, steering wheel audio controls, 8 way power driver's seat with powered lumber support. (since I bought used, I sadly don't have the 3 tier rear loading set up and tonnue cover). Poor man's back up cam (since it's not 3rd row, or jbl sound system. It has 2 blind spot mirrors in the rear pillers of the cargo area. (third row puts the seatbelt there, and jbl system has tweeters that would go there). They're the fastest gen to date (stock they hit 0-60 in 7 secs), full sized MATCHING spare. I can fit quite a bit in the cargo area with rear seats still up. If item is a little long-ish, just hang it out the rear hatch window, since that goes down all the way. (something Highlander cannot do), or, put that shit up on top, in a cargo basket. (like when we have our 2 dogs who fucking LOVE being back there, especially when the rear window goes down, and they can stick their heads out), so everything goes up on the roof. Plenty of space inside for all of us. And our dogs to be comfortable. Don't know where you got that the Highlander is larger cargo. 3rd row makes it almost non existent when in use, and the 4runner is bigger btw. Not by a whole lot, but it is bigger inside and out.
