I love the retro-ness of the 4Runner, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited for the next generation. Materials and features are just behind the times, especially as you get into more expensive trims. Also the 4.0L V6 paired to a 5 speed is just ancient
I absolutely love this vehicle. It is absolutely engineered for reliability, despite not having the bells and whistles of a Highlander. My only desire is to watch Lexus diverge their GX series SUV into two variants; one with the original 4.6 litre V8 for high torque applications, and another with the same 4.0 V6 found in the 4Runner for better fuel economy.
I've heard that the 2020 will be getting a be infotainment system. I am trying to wait for it to see how I like it as Android Auto would be nice to have but it's not a deal breaker.
The 4-Runner needs a subtle refresh with additions of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (we know its coming in 2020) but the radio needs to fill out the area in the dashboard. Also think they need to reconfigure the cup holders plus the instrument cluster needs a new look. Thanks for sharing guys, did you happen to notice if it has footwell lighting?
Really good review! I like the detailed description of what has change! 👍 For those who are wondering why Toyota is taking too long to update 4Runner. Unlike Camry and Rav4, where competition is fierce, there isn't much to compete against in this segment.
Think of getting that 2019 but what will I be miss out if I get it and the 2020 is coming out soon is there a big difference between the two let me know thanks
@@CarConfections thanks you..so not to much of a change on it but I all so heard that the Toyota Safety package is going to be added do you and if the 2020 will have the power lift tail or will it be the same as the 2019
I have always been a fan of this generation 4Runner. However, at this point I can't accept any excuse for why Toyota refuses to ad TSSP, especially at this price point and considering the fact that you're offering on the smallest SUV in the lineup (Rav 4), not to mention the absence of a power liftgate.
this just drives like a tundra now. Used to be like the tacoma. feel like its a 1794 edition nightshade to me. Like if you are watching this in 2020 and/ or you agree.
Very outdated vehicle, No led's and very basic and 2012-ish looking interior. Toyota really needs to step up there game and take notes from there competitors. And this is the top of the line trim and still no pwr tailgate or no LEDs! Wow. Edit: Thanks for 4 likes!
31st comment!! Overall I'm truly disappointed in Toyota's laziness when it comes to their SUV and Trucks... The Tacoma, Tundra, Seqoua and 4runner are blatantly old.
Sticker is a term referring to the MSRP (or price the manufacturer recommends selling the vehicle at). For this particular 4Runner, the "sticker" was $47,295. If they're giving you $8500 below sticker you'd be looking at a price of $38,795. Sticker includes the base price and any options that the vehicle has on it that make it cost more. Hope that helps!
Great review!
The Toyota 4Runner is one of the best selling Toyota SUVs & I really like its rugged looks. It is very road worthy.

This is the best review of 4Runners I have seen. Thank you.

I love your toyota 4runner limited nightshade awsome test drive 👍💚💖💖
Great video guys! I love the 2019 Toyota 4 runner it’s very nice Toyota makes good cars
Great review. Great tip about the 2020 and Apple Car play. Never heard that before. You have great sources!
Thank you! Yeah, we thought that would be good information to let people know
I've heard that the 2020 will be getting a be infotainment system. I am trying to wait for it to see how I like it as Android Auto would be nice to have but it's not a deal breaker.
Nice review guys
One of the most sexiest 4runner trims ever!!!
I’d like to have one,but I can’t wait two or three years for the serious ground up refresh.
Great introduction, could you please tell me if there is a differential lock in this trim?
I am 4 years late! Also I still afford it dude.

Thanks! Can't say we noticed any footwell lighting since it was sunny out (great for a change!)
I love the 4Runner!!!!
Amazing vehicle 👍
Drew this is one of the best 4x4 that Toyota has the only problem is the engine needs a diesel engine is an off-road very capable
give it an 8 speed auto transmission to improve power and fuel economy Toyota!
I love my Toyota!
Still a great SUV!
Do you share the same structure as her sister Prado and the same machine and its suspension systems and how much is the price?
Really good review! I like the detailed description of what has change! 👍

Hey drew the 4Runner Trd pro can be have led fog light for 2019
Think of getting that 2019 but what will I be miss out if I get it and the 2020 is coming out soon is there a big difference between the two let me know thanks
The biggest change will be updated Infotainment with apple CarPlay and Android Auto on 2020's

Third Row?
Also put remote start on it & running boards on it, we will talk.
Nice review......4runner has always been a premium suv....... :)
Don Motz premium?
@@andrewlangellier6104 Basically I meant.....much better than the competition....
Don Motz oooooooh
Do you have more legs space in the back compared to the Tacoma?
Yes, it seems quite a bit more spacious in the second row than the Tacoma
hoorah..finally
Lousy GPS, went back to to my Garmin with free lifetime updates. Oil filter is a pain!
Toyota 4Runner when coming India
They better not put the Tacoma drive train in the next gen 4runner!!!!!!!!
2020 pronto 😀😀❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥 ?????

More like the Toyota "bore" runner...goteem
Exactly.
Nah, I'll take a Highlander Platinum.
The interior is as Morden and stylish as my grandmother, and she was born in 1927
Add a V8 option!

Toyota doesn’t seem to realize how dated their cars are. Just saying
Andrew Langellier I would say they are aware of how dated some of their platforms are. They don’t want to mess with success too much.
TJC450 I mean small updates like led headlights and a new infotainment system
What is sticker? Give you $8500 less than sticker. Let me know.
Sticker is a term referring to the MSRP (or price the manufacturer recommends selling the vehicle at). For this particular 4Runner, the "sticker" was $47,295.

Still have it? I will give you $40,000. Let me know.
Good luck.
