22 4Runner Limited owner here. I'm going to have to wait to sit in it, but from an appearance standpoint I'm disappointed that it's SO similar to the Tacoma. I like that the current gen is unique in the Toyota line.
I would wait at least two to three years for Toyota to iron out all the bugs, other than that, it looks great and being that it's built in Japan, that's more convincing to get it sooner
I’m a 5th gen owner. I like it a lot. A 3-5 mpg bump is awesome. I trust Toyota reliability. Not at all worried about the turbo. Probably won’t get the hybrid though. Rather have the extra rear cargo room. The wife will want a third row to use twice in 12 years. 😅
The 1GR- FE 4.0 V6 is one of the BEST engines Toyota has EVER made. It is incredibly reliable. I would have a hard time passing up a 1GR-FE in the 2024 4Runner for the T24A- FTS- though I'm sure one day it will prove to be reliable (just not as good as 1GR-FE).
That double mustache is a bit much. I’d like to know if rear seat leg room is really better. It looks worse on video. The biggest problem is price. Just a couple years ago a sr5 4x4 was 41k. This year 47k. So new generation 50k? That’s 9k in three years. That’s how u need to look at it.
They test using rolling roads and varying test cycles that simulate real world driving. Acceleration would be part of that and will bring and engine into boost, even if potentially just a mild amount. Since that is how most people drive that is why it’s designed the way it is.
@@ALMX5DP Testing is nowhere near real life usage, like hard acceleration, towing, passing on a highway etc. It’s just minimal usage with minimal spool up if any at all. Furthermore, a more responsive engine with a turbo encourages more aggressive driving.
@@Darkpill-2 if you have the data they use regarding the throttle position or engine load feel free to share to show how it might differ to what you suggest. I think we can both agree that what an engine load “encourages” is different to what the typical or inherent use condition is.
The EPA regulates emissions and the NHTSA regulates corporate average fuel economy. Neither agency does any of the testing. The manufacturers test their own vehicles and provide the results to the government agencies. The agency determine compliance based on the results provided by the manufacturer's. I'll leave how accurate the test are to you to imagine.
@@skiptheroad I think most of the time OEMs do submit documentation for their vehicles, but the EPA still does physically sample some vehicles themselves to ensure the submitted documentation is accurate. "The National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) tests a portion of all new cars and trucks to confirm compliance with EPA’s exhaust emissions standards, and also to verify the accuracy of fuel economy test results submitted by each manufacturer. NVFEL also conducts testing of used vehicles, usually between one and seven years old, to survey the effectiveness of the vehicle’s emissions control systems over 120,000- to 150,000-mile useful life. Vehicles are tested on a dynamometer under standard test cycles designed to account for various driving conditions, including city, highway, and aggressive driving, as well as cold and hot weather conditions. " They also show that part of their test cycle includes a "high acceleration aggressive driving schedule" (per US06 Supplemental FTP Driving Schedule).
The big thing we are missing right now is price, the new Tacoma is expensive, is this going to be way more than the current one, probably, do you need to decide if that is worth it?
Looks can be deceiving, just like the new tacoma the back seats look smaller but when you measure them side by side like someone did you realise the new tacoma back seat space is actually bigger, it just looks smaller
I don’t hate it, think the Airdam is interesting but overall, think it’s probably gonna be like its previous gen and always be bought, pending if the engine is as reliable as the old v6
I like just about everything on the new 4Runner better over the old one except the front end. The new front on the 4Runner is much better than the Tundra but I like the 5th gen 4Runner better. As for the engine. The old 6 was built like a tank and definitely will last forever but it was gutless and at times it drove me nuts to drive especially one the highway trying to pass or get up to speed. My wife has a Wrangler Rubicon with the 4 turbo and at first I was hesitant about it but 30,000 miles later with trips to Moab, Arizona and other places I have come to like this engine. Only time will tell how long this Jeep engine will last but so far so good. I would definitely expect a Toyota turbo 4 would be much better than a Stellantis engine so I would have no issue buying the Toyota.
I'll have to put my butt in one. The only reason we didn't get one in 22 was the seat. Too small, cushion too short. I felt like I was sitting on an elementary school desk chair. The turbo 4 doesn't scare me. The longest we keep cars is about 10 years; I'm sure a Toyota will make it that long.
Thank you, Tim. I really appreciated your overview with comparison to the 2024 runner. It is not what others have done andbit gives a meaningful frame of reference. Awesome, and yah, the 2025 will be the way we go, but tough decision, 4 runner premium or Land Cruiser.
I wish journalists would describe why the wheelbase is longer and why the track is wider. No one talks about the fact that CAFE regulations are easier to meet for vehicles that have a larger footprint.
Can't wait for the real price info to drop to drop on all the various models. I know these are going to be like a mythical unicorn to find when they physically show on the dealers lot though.
The good news is the new 4Runner is still built in the Tahara Japan factory. Toyota’s flagship factory. Build quality should be impeccable. For turbo haters, diesel engines have turbos and they can last a million miles. Beef up the block and used forged internals and with regular maintenance the engine should last. Toyota uses forged internals on their engines, turbo or no turbo. I could be wrong but from pictures of the engine bay the turbo can be replaced without a frame off repair. The model being replaced is in the top two or three most reliable and longest lasting vehicles in the world! In that regard the new 4Runner has a lot to live up to. If I were in the market I would wait a year. Sitting in a dealership waiting for a vehicle to be repaired or just leaving it to be repaired is a colossal waste of time! I have a 2020 Tacoma with 86,000 miles that only has been to the dealership for scheduled maintenance. That’s the way I like it!😂
Diesel and gas turbos are not at all the same thing. That said, I am sure Toyota will build a great turbo, but it will run much hotter on trail at slow speeds than a non turbo. It will also wear faster, internally, no mechanic will dispute that. A small turbo engine is stressed more. If you keep your car for 10 years and 300K miles, it matters, if you trade it under 150K, it will not likely matter.
With a 4cyl I want zero to do with this like bruh a my really stuck with the last oh the 22 Highlander with a v6 cause yota is on some 4cyl bs on suv that weight more than a mtf with small engine displacement
The under hood mess is just plain lazy engineering. No struts just a prop rod? Yikes! The 6th gen is hugely decontented and standardized to save money at the expense of the consumer. Toyota is not always improving.
Which emissions specifically? I know that Ford engines V8 vs. turbo V6 there isn't much difference if any in certain configurations. I'm referring to the CO2 numbers specifically. Are there others that the turbo 4 is less emitting?
Don’t ask for it to make sense. After all, we are dealing with the federal government here. They have an objective in mind that has nothing to do with whether we agree or not. Once the stated reason has been widely crushed by logic they will move on to another reason because nothing is permitted to interfere with their goal, control. It is and has always been about control.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Regarding the U.S. market, specifically, there does not appear to be a reason for the smaller displacement / smaller displacement turbo engines. My reason for making this assertion is that based on the stickers for the F150 with a 5.0 V8 or the 3.5 Ecoboost V6, the CO2 rating is the same (this may vary slightly depending on equipment and model year).
Compared to a 4 liter v6 with a 5 speed auto, from 2005, a new engine and transmission with more gears will do better mileage yes. Turbo isn't part of this equation.
@@ALMX5DP The same fuel economy as NA real world you mean. I've owned both myself bud don't BS me. 3.5 EB and 5.7 Hemi, less fuel with the Hemi actually. Only reason for turbos is EPA regulations.

Should've had the Tundra V6 instead of the 4 cylinder engine if it had the V6 from the Tundra then I would not have a problem with it but a 4 cylinder in a big SUV not saying big as a Expedition or Tahoe but a V6 would've been the better choice for the 4 Runner and that's where my problem with it is no Tundra V6 in the 4 Runner a big mistake in my opinion by Toyota.

I understand that it has more bells and whistles, tech, yada yada, but I disagree that a longer wheelbase will handle better off road. Also, wait until a packrat decides to chew some of that high tech wiring. Originally, the 4runner was a toyota pickup with a station wagon back. That was the case in the first couple of generations. But it has evolved into a unique vehicle, not a tacoma wagon. Now, for cost savings, most likely, it is going back to the original. I would suggest that the new land cruiser is the real 6th gen 4runner. I will stick with my gen 5.
The remote start shutting off is not a big issue. Not sure why it is for so many. How difficult is it to just climb in and push the start button again. Are people so lazy and spoiled that this is such an insurmountable burden? Snowflakes need to stop melting. The whole purpose is cool the truck in summer and to warm it and clear ice off the windshield in winter. People need to quit whining and just push the start button again.
We have this "feature" in a Toyota suv. Pressing a button isn't the issue, nor does that take much effort. In fact, in our non-Toyota vehicle, you still have to press the start button before driving. It has no value and only adds wear.
It's bad design from a human factors perspective. People have a mental model of how a car works. That would include it not shutting down unless commanded by its operator. People have been entering/exiting running vehicles forever so it's a difficult argument to make that it's an "unsafe" operation. If the vehicle were in gear, it wouldn't have started in the first place. Edit- I find it humorous if you ask if people with remote start are "too lazy". By the very nature of the option I would think you'd have to say yes.
There ain’t more second row room in there son😅 That stupid large screen is a con It looks like a RAV4 and costs 20K more which is weird as the current RAV4 was designed to reflect the 5th gen 4Runner 😅 Step right up step right up trade your 1GR(one of the best engines ever made and in some markets is used in the 70series landcruiser) in for a 2.4 turbo folks(fool born every minute) Toyota has become a charlatan They would never put that new engine in a 70 series.
Man I hate to be critical, but I think you need to seriously consider speech therapy, if you're going to be doing this RUclips thing longterm. It is tremendously difficult to listen to you, as you have a (very unusual in my experience) way of speaking where you speed up words, skip words, and mumble words, sometimes separately, and sometimes all together. It's like your brain is making you talk faster than your mouth can actually move. And while your content topics are some of the best out there, it's super painful to listen, because it ends up sounding like one of those digital recordings where there's lag, then it fast forwards to speed up (chipmunk-sounding), and then it slows down again. And like, when that happened as you discussed 2024 vs 2025 approach/departure angles, you screwed it all up. You said "inches" instead of degrees, then corrected yourself, and then reverted to "inches" AGAIN... so now I'm left having no damn clue whether the 2024 or 2025 generation has better departure angles. Come on, man. If this is your profession, take it seriously. Like from 1:40 on, for the next 30+ seconds, I have NO clue wtf you are saying. Some babble about differences in trailhunter and limited, but then the approach/departure sounds WORSE for 2025 than 2024? 🤦 Absolutely painful.
I never thought there'd be a day where reviewers would be trying to flex lower emissions like it's a benefit. 5th is still King. As far as your argument that everything will be going turbos you have to understand where in a Democrat Green bubble right now, that will change real quick when we get a Republican in house so I wouldn't be running too fast with that narrative.

I would suggest that the new land cruiser is the real 6th gen 4runner. I will stick with my gen 5.
Better emissions 😂😂😂😂
Very nice.... 4 cylinder though...🥴
If it whines like what I've heard from the tacos....you're going to feel like you got a downgrade.
Those aggravating flip and fold middle row seats just like a 1978 Jeep Wagoneer. Total flop!
The remote start shutting off is not a big issue. Not sure why it is for so many. How difficult is it to just climb in and push the start button again. Are people so lazy and spoiled that this is such an insurmountable burden? Snowflakes need to stop melting. The whole purpose is cool the truck in summer and to warm it and clear ice off the windshield in winter. People need to quit whining and just push the start button again.
We have this "feature" in a Toyota suv. Pressing a button isn't the issue, nor does that take much effort.
In fact, in our non-Toyota vehicle, you still have to press the start button before driving.
It has no value and only adds wear.
It's bad design from a human factors perspective. People have a mental model of how a car works. That would include it not shutting down unless commanded by its operator. People have been entering/exiting running vehicles forever so it's a difficult argument to make that it's an "unsafe" operation. If the vehicle were in gear, it wouldn't have started in the first place.
Edit- I find it humorous if you ask if people with remote start are "too lazy". By the very nature of the option I would think you'd have to say yes.
Tacoma with a bag on its ass. What a joke
Toyota’s lineup makes no god damn sense
There ain’t more second row room in there son😅
That stupid large screen is a con
It looks like a RAV4 and costs 20K more which is weird as the current RAV4 was designed to reflect the 5th gen 4Runner 😅
Step right up step right up trade your 1GR(one of the best engines ever made and in some markets is used in the 70series landcruiser) in for a 2.4 turbo folks(fool born every minute)
Toyota has become a charlatan
They would never put that new engine in a 70 series.
No way would buy a 6th for a year !!!
That color......omg
Awful I know
I don't know if it's possible to make the front of these new Toyotas uglier.
lol get the 24 model while you still can, 4banger vs a v6 ? No thanks
JUNK AUDIO!
If Toyota smart they will not allow you look inside the hood before you buy it 😂
Better looking than the 4th gen Tacoma. The 2024 Tacoma is just ugly sorry but it’s the truth
Soooo ugly. Trash can engine. Be good for all the minions to go out and buy
Man I hate to be critical, but I think you need to seriously consider speech therapy, if you're going to be doing this RUclips thing longterm. It is tremendously difficult to listen to you, as you have a (very unusual in my experience) way of speaking where you speed up words, skip words, and mumble words, sometimes separately, and sometimes all together. It's like your brain is making you talk faster than your mouth can actually move. And while your content topics are some of the best out there, it's super painful to listen, because it ends up sounding like one of those digital recordings where there's lag, then it fast forwards to speed up (chipmunk-sounding), and then it slows down again. And like, when that happened as you discussed 2024 vs 2025 approach/departure angles, you screwed it all up. You said "inches" instead of degrees, then corrected yourself, and then reverted to "inches" AGAIN... so now I'm left having no damn clue whether the 2024 or 2025 generation has better departure angles. Come on, man. If this is your profession, take it seriously. Like from 1:40 on, for the next 30+ seconds, I have NO clue wtf you are saying. Some babble about differences in trailhunter and limited, but then the approach/departure sounds WORSE for 2025 than 2024? 🤦 Absolutely painful.
looks expensive
Tim hates toyota. I still dont get why toyota always invite tim to shit on their cars.
Why do you think I hate Toyota?
@@Pickuptrucktalk thats a good question. I was gonna ask you that.
@@tomjohnson8737 I don't hate Toyota. Plain and simple.
That front end looks awful
I never thought there'd be a day where reviewers would be trying to flex lower emissions like it's a benefit. 5th is still King. As far as your argument that everything will be going turbos you have to understand where in a Democrat Green bubble right now, that will change real quick when we get a Republican in house so I wouldn't be running too fast with that narrative.
Is it that hard to believe that not everyone thinks like you? Some folks do care about emissions.
@@nemesis656 Only people in Blue States Fall for that scam. If that's how you feel I ask do you live in a house do you make your own clothes do you recycle, do you farm animals? If not then your a hypocrite to the agenda.
@@nemesis656 Don't be a hypocrite, Do live in a house? Recycle, Wear manufacture clothes, eat process foods? I'm pretty sure you do so don't act almighty caring to be a planet saver.
🤮
