Everything stated in this video is 1000% correct. i just bought my "second" Toyota 4 Runner. i had a 2013 Toyota 4?Runner and because it had 85,000 miles and nothing wrong, but i wanted some of the new features. so being retired and needing the bells and whistles i purchased the 2020 Toyota 4runner SR5. Few days later after purchase, two foot snow fell and i got to use the traction system. i pulled out of my driveway, i drove around vehicles stuck in the street, stuck in their driveways and stopped at intersections. i went to a restaurant and there was a person stuck in the up ramp to the restaurant. i went around them and went in and had dinner. when i was ready to leave there was a second vehicle stuck in the ramp and i decided to help [one driver was waiting for a two truck 2 hours later and still no tow truck] . so i asked if they wanted to be pulled out and if they connected my cable to their vehicle i would not be liable if something was damaged. i pulled a van up the incline. then i pulled the car up the incline. please notice i had no trouble going up the incline to the restaurant. the Toyota 4 runner is superior. i have not had to have my driveway plowed out in 7 years. Toyota saved me having plows clear my driveway. i recommend the Toyota 4Runner. i have helped my neighbors who were stuck in their driveways and in a couple of times i used my Toyota 4runner to get my kids from being stuck with their vehicles.
Wow Lawrence. This truck is solid. I have not had the opportunity to dig other folks out. I noticed the wheels spun a lot on this video. Did this lady do it wrong????
Chevy sucks? Definitely not true. I'm a fan of Toyotas for a Chevy will easy give you the most bang for your buck out of any major car manufacturer. I bet the piss out of all my Chevy trucks and they all took it like a champ.
Modern american cars suck. Trucks are still good since its what sells the most. But anything else from any of the american manufacturer is beat by the competition. Hell even hyundai is starting to get better in my book. Our 120 vehicule fleet was a nightmare when we had american. The only good ones were the small canyons. Tough little things. But the cars and minivans? horrible. Now we have tacomas, foresters and yarises. Miles better than almost anything from this continent. There are exceptions but not many.
Don't kid yourself about a 4Runner and a Jeep Grand Cherokee being of the the same quality. The 4Runner is at the TOP of the mountain in comparison to any Fiat product.
Jeeps are garbage. You talk about bad fuel pump that they are replacing for free and already fixed the issue. The new wranglers have death wobble, bad steering, leaks everywhere, and now bad welds are causing frames to break prematurely. And Fiat Italian junk are not doing a damn thing about fixing them! Also like to add the transmissions are unreliable pieces of junk.
Yeah, I switched from jeep to Toyota. My jeep had 90k miles and transfer case stopped working, ac stopped working, the seat also exploded due to a recall. I have a fully paid off SR5 2017 4Runner and I love it! I drive a lot
As much as I love the concept of Atrac, I don't think this is the best example of it in action. Sure it did its thing but what got that car up the deep snow was purely momentum and having the wheel speed stay up... I think with better tires though, Atrac could have shown off it's capabilities with a slower wheel speed. Either way, cool vid and glad you exercise those awesome features!
you are correct. i removed the Dunlap tires and put on $1,200.00 All terrain Micheline tires All-Season Safety. rain and slick surface they stop on a dime, in the deepest snow they claw their way to your appointment. i think Bridge stone tires and Pirelli Tires are great also.
@@lawrence17201 I have a TRD OR from 2018 (now 2022) on those Dunlops and they don't get enough love. I have run in every terrain in every season and they are FINE! The traction control aids and the stock Dunlops work well with each other. It is true, dedicated terrain tires will work best. But for an all season, I have been very very impressed.
We have a 2015 4runner and Limited and it's head and shoulder above anything in it's class. It's reliable, durable, and practical. On paper the Jeep grand Cherokee sounded tempting ( we were looking at the Hemi V8), but 4runner offered more and so far it's proven to be amazing.
4 runner is an amazing off road machine regardless of any trim you choose. We've own 3 in the last 10 years still have them '04,'07,and a 2015 limited. Very reliable my '04 has 170,000 still going strong never had any major problems just regular maintenance.
It depends on what you are looking for. The grand cherokee is probably the best off road machine in its class. It gets much better mpg than the 4runner and its smaller which is better off road also. The 4runner has a 3rd row option and more room if thats what you want. I really wanted to get a grand cherokee diesel but I might rather want the 3rd row option instead. The 4runner gets terrible mpg.
The grand cherokee? You mean the one with the shit transmission that killed some people. The one that is always broken down for one reason or another? I will take my toyota everytime over that piece of shit. It has great options, great engines, great gas mileage etc. But what is all that when its at the dealer all the time? I looked into them before I bought my Runner. But there are only horror stories. Toyota on the other hand has none. Go in each forums. Grand cherokee there a problem threads all over the place. And serious ones. Toyota? None. Only people wanting a V8 and modifications threads. Night and day.
www.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/4Runner/ airbag failed to deploy int 2015. At least the grand cherokee won't kill you. The people that don't know how a shifting lever works are stupid for not figuring it out.
yep, old, out of date, but friggin reliable. toyota is about 10 years behind the competition at least with the two toyotas I have... and guess what, my toyota that is up for replacement will be replaced with... yep another 10 year old out of date toyota... probably a 4runner :)
Seems like improper use a ATRAC if she would have kept at about 1500-2000 RPM nice and easy it still would have made it. But, I agree with most everyone else... needs better tires and you wouldn’t even have to use ATRAC. Love you guys are having fun with the 4runner though!
Guys I can't stress this enough... I have a 2010 Limited and a 2016 SR5, run Cooper Zeon LTZ 275/55/20 on your 20" limited wheels. They actually fit the skinny stock wheels, up to a 10" wide wheel I believe, look amazing but most of all they're the best tire money can buy. Snow, wet, mud, etc these tires are perfect. I have had BFG K.A, Pirelli Scorpion ATR, Toyo Open Country AT, Nitto, and Goodyear Kevlar and nothing even comes close. They last long, and they kick ass. Quiet on road, look tough but off-road they're just monsters. Can't say it enough guys. COOPER ZEON LTZ!!!!
Nice ride. I have my 2011 fitted with Firestone Destination M/T and I never had a problem with snow. Even when driving up mountainous terrain in Vermont.
You need some "real" tires for this truck! I had to put in 4Hi just to back out of my driveway in deep snow. Recently replaced the stock dunlop tires with bfg at ko2 and I could climb snow hill with just rear wheel drive ... imagine what this truck can do with 4low and a-trac, just by replacing to the proper tires.
Actually. I really like this video because: A) It shows A-TRAC capabilities brilliantly, and B) The importance of momentum when stuck in the snow .....
@@claudiacanales2662 - You are driving in conditions that require 4L (deep snow, mountain climb, mud, whatever...). One or more wheels has no traction ... no resistence to it. Without A-TRACK, the wheels that have traction do not have enough tourque to power the vehicle out of the "stuck" condition because torque is evenly distributed to all wheels with just 4L. A-TRACK distributes more power to the wheels with traction by applying brake resistance to the wheels free-spinning, therefore supplying more power to the wheels that need it. Once out of the stuck condition, take the vehicle OUT of A-TRACK.
what does a-trac really do. I've had my car for years and didn't even know it had it. During winter in Canada I always got through with the regular 4wd setting. I learned about atrac and thought I didn't have it. On some vehicles the button into the left of the wheel. Apparently on my vehicle it's by the sunroom buttons. But what does it do anyway?
People here talk smack about 4runner having a hard time on snow I think its because of the tires on this vid it's not well suited for snow, and this edition of 4runner is not configured on off road terrains coz i have a 2015 TRD 4runner and also a trail edition of a 4runner will definitely just walk over snows 3 feet deep, ive been into more deeper snows and got out of it, there is a technique on driving over snows not just going on a straight line
don't use 4low for snow... low range means more torque and more slip (on ice/snow). Instead use second start for less torque... on loose or slippery surfaces you want less torque and more speed
Looks Like You need some active snow tires lol. All weather tires are nice however in snow especially in very snowy states like the Dakotas....I reccommend using snow tires.
theres a few things that are steering me in to the limited over other models. first, I'm going used this time as opposed to the last few vehicles being new... and the cost differential isnt as great going limited used as limited new... and possibility they were better cared for... I would love to see your video 4L vs 4L w/ atrac... i dont get the simulated differnece, yet and if it makes a difference.... but it cant hurt...
Great video, just what I was looking for. I just got my 2015 sr5 and love it. I hate the remote start and cheap factory tires but other than that it's solid.
Keep in mind there is a such thing as snow that is too deep what you bottom out too much your truck floats like a boat on water and the active track has no weight pushing down with gravity you spin and go nowhere
You won't break it.."it's a Toyota!" I've never had a Toyota but I always here there reliable. I've always had Hondas, Mercedes and one '13 Nissan Pathfinder. The Nissan was considered a Lemon car and all my Hondas and Mercedes ML 400 was so reliable that I kept on purchasing more. It seems that maintaining the engine parts helps a lot in the long run:) I'm really considering to get a 4Runner limited 4x4 now.
I think it’s actual speed limited if I’m not mistaken 5mph or less ... and ~7mph for MTS In other words ... atrac wasn’t operating when she was gunning it ... im pretty sure the same guy has another video stuck in the sand showing off the exact same thing ... pretty high wheel spin, which = no atrac There’s a reason you have to be in LO ... it’s a low speed aid only ... same with MTS
all this is really a demonstration of is why you shouldn't run "all season" tires in any place that gets actual winters. with snow tires she'd never have even used the system.
You dont necessarily need an all wheel drive or 4x4 to get out most snow conditions and that configuration also eats more gas....a RWD will get you out most road conditions just fine while saving you money
My 2016 Ltd came with Geolander G96 tire, basically a pavement tire and maybe a dirt driveway in summer. Put them up on Craigslist 2 weeks after purchase and sold for $650 within 3 days. Go figure
iceskywill you’re right. It’s hard to show in a snow application because that’s not where it excels. Lift a tire in the air and demonstrate at about 2200-2500 rpm and you’re right, you’ll watch it find grip. 👊
ATRAC only works up to 7mph. Once you start spinning the wheels like that it turns itself off. You just showed a demo of "punching it" while in 4wd, that's all. lol
just got a limited 2015 4 runner, its the shit tires that come on this truck. all season highway tires......this rim can handle a 275/55/20 with no problem. just put on a pair of goodyear wranglers on it looks so much better then these narrow tires
Toyota is a Japanese vehicle. I would only purchase american vehicles living in america. But there are those who buy foreign vehicles and complain about foreign vehicle companies moving into other countries. People have themselves to blame.
When an U.S. automaker starts making 4Runners I will buy one..until then it will be Toyota..not U.S. crap for me! What would I get? A Cherokee? Had 3 of them they suck balls! And heaven forbid a piece of junk Ford! Had one and it sucks even bigger balls then the Cherokees I had...don't shit on 4Runners thinking us garbage is better!!
dam bud what a way to make toyota and the 4runner look like a shit.... smh! just bought one too but poor execution doesn't matter what you have if you drive that way you're going to spin or get stuck in any elements .

Nice dude, but 4Low for that? I always thought too much torque for snow, or thats the only way to demonstrate A Trac?
That’s 4WD Right
how works same but 4x2?
I wonder how well the 4th gen version does compared to the 5th gen
If u keep the rpm just under 2500, the atrac works at its best, the atrac does engage above 2500 I believe
I think it's only above a certain speed
ATrac works best between 1600 and 2500 RPMs, and only works at 3 mph or slower.
did she turned around? poor nick >.
don't use 4low for snow... low range means more torque and more slip (on ice/snow). Instead use second start for less torque... on loose or slippery surfaces you want less torque and more speed
What do you mean use second?
What kind of tires you have, I assume you are with all season tires. With snow tires you shouldn't need to go on 4 low.

Don't really need low gear nor traction control in this situation
That’s not how you use A-Trac you are supposed to give it very little gas and slow rpm increments

I took my 2013 armada to Canada, it drove over 5 ft snow
+shane premraj i took my moms corolla through 6 feet of snow
So the snow was past the windows and over the hood... Proof?
ThatGearHead™ I have proof lol. When I was in canada
+shane premraj Sure
ThatGearHead™ for real though have it on Facebook. Snow was high up to the door
just got a limited 2015 4 runner, its the shit tires that come on this truck. all season highway tires......this rim can handle a 275/55/20 with no problem. just put on a pair of goodyear wranglers on it looks so much better then these narrow tires
I noticed that too, I always hated how narrow they looked stock. A quick change with some actual tires makes a huge difference in appearance.
Good
She took off a ways there.
Tires more important
She left you
A-wesome!
Hay
HAY
HAY!!!!
Stop come back
lol love it ... do it like you mean it I like that that's cute I love your relationship

Bruh
Toyota is a Japanese vehicle. I would only purchase american vehicles living in america. But there are those who buy foreign vehicles and complain about foreign vehicle companies moving into other countries. People have themselves to blame.
When an U.S. automaker starts making 4Runners I will buy one..until then it will be Toyota..not U.S. crap for me! What would I get? A Cherokee? Had 3 of them they suck balls! And heaven forbid a piece of junk Ford! Had one and it sucks even bigger balls then the Cherokees I had...don't shit on 4Runners thinking us garbage is better!!
All you proved is how to hi center a vehicle in deep snow! Lmao 🤣
better tires make all the difference
and with a jk, you wouldn't have a problem at all
jeepguinness shut up u fanboi
😮💨
dam bud what a way to make toyota and the 4runner look like a shit.... smh! just bought one too but poor execution doesn't matter what you have if you drive that way you're going to spin or get stuck in any elements .
Nissan armada walks over that like nothing lol
This just needs good tires...
ThatGearHead™ well they need to put good tire on it before selling, cause I am not wasting my money if its not good in snow
The Armada doesn't even go against the 4Runner...
"You won''t break it, its a Toyota." No, but rodents will:

A Trac and Crawl Control are 2 of the most useless, overhyped gimmicks Toyota has ever tried to sell the public.
Yeah.. because applying brakes to a spinning tire and supplementing engine power to the tires with traction is useless.. seriously? ATRAC is great.
@@K0GNITION its a gimmick.
@@johnnybabee9095 it works exactly as advertised. What in your opinion is gimmicky about it? Assuming you've used it.
@@johnnybabee9095You are a gimmick
not at all what A-trac was designed for. absolute horrible representation.
Meh, my 99 Ford Taurus pulls through that much snow..
Not if it's packed snow
