I have a 2008 SR5 and can confirm that those mirrors in the back can indeed show you the back of the vehicle when looking through the rear view mirror. I think it's pretty neat and useful.
I daily a 99 limited 3rd gen and ngl seeing all these nice Easter eggs and hidden features on the 4th makes me a lil jelly haha. But I just LOVE the old school look of the 3rd gen’s and some of these features you can still find on them.
I wish mine had the cargo deck, it would come in handy with the way I use my trunk. Mines an 06’ v8 sport edition 4WD. I’ve got the mirrors in the back so no JBL system. But, when I upgraded my stereo deck to I believe the same one as you have, man it sounds like I have a subwoofer in the vehicle. That pioneer stereo head unit really powered those factory speakers. ✊🪵 , I do pump up the music on occasions and no blow outs. You just have to know how to set your sound equalizer.
One thing that astounds people whenever I show them is that the sun visors actually extend. If you swing them over to the window and tug on them a bit, they slide along the rail all the way over to the edge of the mirror! No need for those dumb extensions you see these days.
Interesting, mine's an '08 Limited, but I have the mirrors in back, not the speakers. I wonder if that was an option on Limited or a difference between Canadian and US.
Thanks for sharing all of this. Recommendations / insights needed. I found a seller (thru a mutual friend) with an ‘06 Limited V8 4WD 130,000 miles. It’s super clean, stock, and well maintained. They’re asking $10,000. Pros? Cons? Not sure I need a v8 but finding one this age and clean in a v6 has been exhausting. What would you do? Keep looking or snag this one. NOTE: currently driving an ‘02 SR5 357,000 miles.
Do you find enough difference in driving the 4Runner and Tacoma. I have a 2011 Toyota Tacoma and I also have a 2006 Pontiac Vibe(Toyota Matrix)/Corolla. My Vibe seems it’s in rough shape and I’m Considering replacing it with a Toyota 4Runner.
I don't think your lock cylinder for the rear window is broken , on my SR5 I have the original set of keys only one of those works for the rear window lock, but weirdly also both can turn the engine over .
My v8 is totalled due to a bad driver :( bought a 5th gen today for the extra headroom and man, feels so barebones compared to the 4th. Limited -> Limited.
What's your favorite 4th gen 4Runner feature?
The V8 ;)
The rust on mine.
The v8 option
The front fold down tray is for cup holder trays from fast food restaurants. Try it it fits perfectly and locks on where it won’t spill.
I'm totally going to try that!

I have an sr5 v8 and the mirrors actually line up with opposite side windows for blind spots checks
Just got myself a 2005 V8 limited, I knew about a few of these but its good to know about all the features. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching, congrats on the new rig!
Lmao. Your sense of humor totally won you a sub! Big gulp diabeetus goes hard in this country
Thanks for watching!
It's been fun finding all these features over the years I have owned my 04 Limited.

Great video! I made a similar video on my 4th gen as well! I didn’t know about the center console lid opening up like that, good to know!!
There’s a nice little gas cap holder inside the gas door too. Keeps it from swinging and slapping your paint.
Great vid thx! What year is this one in your vid?? Hows gas mileage . Im hunting for one now. Thx!
I’ve had my 4th Gen for almost 5 years. Don’t know how I never noticed those speakers in the pillar. Went outside to check, and yep, it’s there. 😂
Underrated video
try some WD in the sezied lock and try it again.
Roger that
Where do you even buy one now?
The back of our 4Runner has third row seating with no mirrors or speakers back there

I agree, just swapping the head unit out makes a difference!
What year is it?

Does yours have the JBL audio?
@@CanadianGearhead Nope!
Interesting, I didn't know you could get a Limited without it
I also have the limited but with the side mirrors!!
Where did you get your Toyota mat
Thank you for sharing
What head unit is that? I'm looking to upgrade my 2006 SR5.
Great timing just bought one today😭

that's a really good deal if it's still available.
I'll buy it if you pass. That's a great deal.

I miss my prehistoric backup camera my 07 sport had!!
the only thing i learned about my 4th gen is that you can make a video out of it
That sunroof feature scared me the first time it happened lmao
Haha it definitely woke me up too
My 2004 V8 4Runner Limited has a backup camera

Yeah, kinda hard to explain - they have a lot of similarities yet still have different character. I did a vid on it
Where did you get your black emblem covers?
They're just plastidipped (badly)
Thank you.
Why did you have to tell everyone where I hide my drugs? That nuggie tray is multi purpose 😉 😂
Link for grill?…
You forgot to show that the sun visor can extend and retract
I don't think your lock cylinder for the rear window is broken , on my SR5 I have the original set of keys only one of those works for the rear window lock, but weirdly also both can turn the engine over .
I tried both keys, no luck
I just bought my 06 v8.
I didn’t know the bed thing
This guy 4th gen’s!
You forgot to mention the location of the fuel door release latch!
Do you want to sell this? haha I cant seem to find a clean 4th gen 4runner in NS
Do you know if the round fender flares from the 2007 model fit the earlier models 2003 and up? To replace the „square“ ones.
Hmmm good question, it might look a little wonky with the square ones still in the rear though
@@CanadianGearhead i would replace all fender trim pieces front and rear.
I knew all of these minus the medium pizza one. 😂
You are putting your sunglasses the wrong way there, the glass goes facing forward, that way you don’t scratch them.
“Big gulp”? What is this, the 1990s?
Big gulps definitely still exist… granted though, who the hell is still getting em ?
I’m with ya
Daddy chill
3:21 no need to get personal man... not cool
👉 Unfortunately, they all seem to have the sunroof ...
The key thing it's just the v8's 😉😁
The quick start works on my V6 as well!
If its made in japan, what about sushi snack?
Right? I'm thinking it's for a bento box!
