Just bought a 2024 TRD PRO in Underground last week. Already, my favorite car I have ever owned. 2024 now has heated steering wheel, Keyless entry, led lights, adaptive cruise control , lane assist, blind spot monitoring, Apple car play....the rest is pretty much the same. Just enough tech, but I love the old school vibe.
I have the 2018 TRD Pro, getting the GX 550 Overtrail+ in a few weeks once it arrives. No comparison between the two vehicles as the GX 550 (at least on paper) is much better. I get 282 miles per tankful, so I don't see it as an advantage for 4Runner. I actually paid a third party to install Apple Car Play, but the tiny screen is still an issue. I'll give you the affordability as 4Runner is a third cheaper ($60K+ vs $80K+), but cost is apples vs oranges as they are two different classes of vehicles. To me the price difference for the GX 550 is worth it for what one is getting. I had also looked at the new Land Cruiser, but decided on the GX 550.
I have a 2015 4Runner, it’s a great vehicle but I’m looking to trade up in a year or 2. I’ve honestly not used the the display for anything beyond the rear camera and depend on the otter box phone holder for the air vent to run Apple Maps 🤣

Nice choice! I like Terra color as well!
@@Why2k Sedona?
I meant Terra 😅
Thanks for calling this out. Many of the lack of tech features that were called out in this video were solved in all 4Runners made after 2020.
Nearly got a 4Runner a few years back. But it was a few k less than the 460. I went Lexus . No regrets

I have 4Runner, LC200 and GX550. Agree on GX being worth the money but just sharing the pros/cons of each. You're gonna love the GX!
Congrats
@@Why2kis the 550 interior as bad as they say? Thanks for the video
I own both. The GX is much more refined and my wife loves it. I drive the Terra Runner and it is still fun to drive.
Agree!
If the GX550 had the 4Runner engine it would be perfect.
4Runner engine has 50 less horse power. It struggled going uphill in the Rockies.
It certainly does struggle at altitude and on big uphill sections of highway. Super reliable though.
Just get both.
Drop a 4.6 v8 in that 4Runner and the choice is clear.

Haha! Sounds about right.
interesting when you say 4Runner has more "width". dimensions
point to the GX being
"wider" -- 83 vs 76
Just going by interior feel. Never did any hard measurements. Could just be interior packaging differences.
Got it! Great vid. I'm going from 4Runner to the GX. Super helpful overview.
GX is 78" wide
@@jnm147 Yeah, the width side mirror to mirror was 83.
4runner is a best
4R not match for the GX
