Welcome to my second, enhanced 4runner video for 2022! I wanted to offer a longer, more in depth review of this legendary Toyota 4x4. It stands alone in it’s own segment and has been a cult classic for the last 35+ years!
In this video we will cover the exterior, engine and drivetrain, then make our way inside to talk about the space and style on the 2022 Toyota 4Runner SR5. We will even take it for a drive. This 4x4 Toyota has an easy to use (available) 4WD system that will take you where ever you need to go.
We will go over some of the features unique to this rugged body-on-frame SUV, while pointing out some of the differences between the 4Runner and it’s close cousin, the Toyota Tacoma.

Just got a 2022 4Runner sr5 myself in the nautical blue color. Dont care if it’s outdated. I love the simplicity of this truck and know that is capable of lasting several hundred thousand miles. I have an older 97 4Runner with 485,600 miles on it and still runs great with no issues. Plan to keep that till it dies. These are sturdy, ultra reliable trucks!!
Congrats! And nice! Almost to the 500k club! 😎
That's awesome credit worthy news about the Toyota 4Runners!
Same. With so many other family suv vehicles in the market with better technology the 4runner is still the best practical 4x4 to hve if you plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off.
Keep the stick shifter

2019 TRD Off Road owner. 47 years old,this is my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. She's my pride and joy!
Nice! Thanks for sharing
I own a small dealership, and while I've never owned a vehicle (always just drive a demo), I think this video has convinced me to buy one of these for personal use. I've sold a few over the years, but don't normally stock them due to cost and it's niche market. However, I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one of these in the fall and make it last me my lifetime.
Hey thanks for commenting! That’s awesome and the 4runner is something you can really enjoy and get to know overtime and use as a tool for getting out there and enjoying your life. If you get one please let me know!
Yes yes yes.. after years dealing with a row of buttons for the heater modes and fan speeds on my previous vehicle, it's SO SO nice to see big KNOBS to turn with gloves on , on my 4Runner. A little old school is certainly welcome in some areas ! Nice vid Brian :- )
Thank you!!
Fantabulous Review. Just got 2023 4Runner SR5 4months ago. YOU are really great and so helpful. BRIAN RUPERTI - This name will be remembered.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you! Congrats on your 4runner
Has a growl to it! I love that it won’t let you lock your fob in the SUV. I agree the tactile old school knobs are classic. I reviewed mine recently on my channel. Pretty smooth and so reliable!
Yes indeed! I will check your video out!
big knobs are nice to play with, my wife likes it
Lol, I actually dislike it won't let you lock it with the fob in it. Makes it a pain when I drop it off somewhere and want to pick it up after hours with my second key
I just, after 22 years of not owning one, purchased a new 2023 4Runner SR5 Premium, and I love it! I traded in a 2016 Land Rover LR4 which I also loved but didn't trust and couldn't depend on as I was always sitting on pins & needles waiting for a multitude of warnings to pop up telling me it's "broken"! With the 4Runner, just like with my 2017 Tacoma TRD Offroad, I just get in and go! I was going to get a Limited model but didn't like the full time 4WD system, 20-inch wheels/tires, and more complicated suspension. For more serious off-roading, I'll take the Tacoma! I LOVE the "old school" style, systems, and trucky feel of my new baby!!
Nice!!! Welcome back to the family 💪🏼😎
I just bought my 2022 Toyota 4 Runner SR5 Premium with 3rd row seats, I enjoy driving it! I have the sunroof slide and tilt. I enjoy using my Standard Shift and the shift stick, it is amazing! Yes, it is worth it to own the 4 Runner SR5 Premium! I don't intend to go off roading I did that a few times with my previous LR2 Land Rover, been there done that! My dog loves his back seat window that slides up and down. My daughter loves reclining in the 4 Runner's 2nd row seats as she makes you tube, tik tok videos or chatting with her friends. This vehicle is by far my favorite! I have yet to take my SUV to the ski terrains..
I have this one but with third row seating. Absolutely love it. Only had it about 2 months can’t wait for the next 200 years with it 😂
Nice!!
Love my 17 SR5 Premium 2WD. The perfect road warrior.
Indeed!
Great review, simplistic and honest. I just bought a used 2019 SR5 4x4, one owner with all service records... 57000 miles and everything feels new. Had a 2015 Tacoma, this is much better. I'm 6'2 and very comfortable in this, Thanks again for such a great review.
Thanks!
Love your reviews. After hurricane Ian took both my cars the 2021 SR5 gave me confidence to get out on flooded highways. I chose the same super white 🤙🏻 total workhorse!!
Thank you!! Thanks for writing back and sharing that valuable feedback! This may help others decide on your vehicle as well so that they can have the confidence to evacuate when needed!
Thank you Brian, for another in-depth and very detailed video. Your videos have been extremely helpful.
Hey thanks for watching!
I really like how you go into detail about your videos!! You’re very informative!!
Thanks!
I got the SR5.
I've had a 4x4 sense i was 16 years and and this is the best 4x4 system I've had.
it's so much of a 4x4 I didn't really need the off road or the pro.
it goes with a good set of tires , the atrac is grate , as long as your not professional rock climbing or go 4x4 ing with street tires the SR5 is a beast ..
New subscriber here…you do a very nice job on these reviews. I commented LY (and recently updated that comment) on your Tacoma review. I have a 2019 Tacoma and have put well over 200k miles on it in 4 years. I bought my wife a 4 Runner Feb 2022. I bought her the 2022 4 Runner TRD Pro in the Lime Rush color.
We are now empty nesters; the last car my wife had - that wasn’t a kid hauler was 25 years ago ; that was a 7 Series BMW. She could have picked any car she wanted- within reason (under 120k was the budget). She wanted a vehicle that she could use on our horse farm and one that had genuine 4WD capabilities. It came down to a Range Rover, Ram Power Wagon and the Lime Rush 4Runner. She decided on the 4 Runner and almost a year later….she absolutely loves the car. The size is perfect, the 4WD capability is as expected and the on road comfort is better than expected.
I drive it occasionally, and compared to my Tacoma it drives nicer and is more comfortable as well. We added KO2 tires, as I add those to all of our SUVs, trucks. I hate that Toyota is going to go to the 4 CYLINDER Turbo on both the Tacoma and 4 Runner. I understand The gas mileage is not good on either and her 4Runner is horrible, as it averages around 16MPG ( my Tacoma averages around 20). However the additional 15-20% increase in fuel economy from a turbo, isn’t a good trade off from the reliability of the 4Runner system or to a lesser degree the Tacoma.
The 4Runner is in my opinion the best vehicle in the Toyota line up and perhaps the best value of any vehicle in production , at least for our needs.
Hey welcome to the channel! 😎 thank you so much for your support. That’s awesome that she loves the 4runner out of all the cars she could’ve driven! Yes I agree the efficiency increase will leave the tried and true 4runner very missed.
Great review, you covered everything in a concise and understandable manner.
Thank you
Ty for this review! Very thorough!!❤
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Nicely done. I dig your review style
I appreciate that!
I just took 2 giant dogs with me on vacation to North Florida. They fit plus a suitcase and other items. There is tons of room in these things. Love my 4runner
Nice! How is vaca going?
Great video man. Wow. Love the big knobs. Love the simplicity and dynamic-ability of all the interior features. I've owned a 2004 Honda CR-v I bought used at 80k(now 240k) for the last 12 years. So I'm already used to the low power. I mean, its going to be better regardless. Looking forward to getting mine in a few weeks.
That’s gonna be great please write back when you get it to share how you like it
Awesome review, thank you for your insight
Thanks for watching!
Wow what a great review! Very complete and great detail. Nice job and fair with likes and dislikes.
Thank you!
I have the same one ! I love it !
Great review for a legendary suv ..! 👌👍

Great informative video. Love Toyota products, especially the 4Runners. Fabulous reputation for durability and holding their value well.
Very good review helped me decide I will be buying SR5 4Runner. Thanks
Awesome thanks for watching!
Good job Brian....thx, we just purchased the SR5 premium:)
Thank you! And big congrats! I hope you love it
Brian. Very good video. The 4Runner is a iconic vehicle.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Definitely it's the perfect car to be owned for whoever likes off-road adventures with this ultra reliable vehicle.
Amazing Brian, you are the best for me.
Unfortunately, the 4runner is not being sold in Egypt, but I wish to see it in the real one day!
Thanks a lot for this awesome video Brian and keep it up man.
Best wishes for all the USA from Egypt 🇪🇬
Hamdy thanks for watching my review! It’s always so good to hear from you. I hope you get to see one soon! They are amazing. Sending all the best love and blessings right back to you as well! 🇺🇸🇪🇬
In my opinion Toyota placing the window button up for the 4runners makes sense it gives it that rugged look.
Yes exactly!
I just like your review. You've totally won me over. -i like everything about this one that you're reviewing .great
Thank you so much!
Great job-thank you!!
Thanks!
My '16 T4R is unbreakable. 140K on it and nothing has broken; not even a squeak. Drives like the day I bought it new. Fluids, filters, tires, brakes, spark plugs, and battery as normal maintenance. Excited and worried to see what the 6th Gen will bring.
Nice!!
great review of the 4runner
Thank you 🙏🏼
Excellent video ! Very informative . I just put money down on a trd off road premium today and your 4 runner knowledge will be very helpful. Thank you.
Hey congrats and thanks for watching!
Anazing in depth review. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Nice video, Brian! Very informative and clear description of the car. Keep up the great work. Thump Up! and subscribed your channel.
Thank you! And welcome to the channel!! 🙏🏼
One selling point worth mentioning is- the roof rack . It will hold large items like mattresses, canoes, christmas trees etc. and really adds to the utility factor of the 4 runner. Alot of SUV's these days dont have roof racks anymore......cost cutting?
Good point. Possibly cost cut but manufactures may also add extra packages/accessories to increase gross on the much smaller inventory they have. So not sure why one would stock SUVs without them. We have been seeing them PLENTIFUL on our Highlanders, RAV4s and 4Runners 🙂
Very good, thorough review. Was thinking about one of these in a higher trim, but I think the SR5 would be fine for what I need. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Another good one, thx.
🙏🏼
Love how this guy hit his shoes so the dirt falls off.
This vehicle is perfect for me, I love the simplicity and ruggedness
Great video. Thank you
Thank you too!
I’ve always wanted a 4 runner and you pretty much nailed it on why I should get one
Sweet 😎
From a fellow car salesmen great job !! A perfect walk around of the vehicle
Thank you
Great review
Thank you!
amazing video, really appreciate the extra detail in the engine bay
Thanks!
4 runner limited for me and my family.. great review bro!!
Nice truck! Thanks 🙏🏼
Love it
Nice video! Very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :-)
My kind of review. Very nice.
Thank you kindly!
very detailed review, thank you. I like the old school features; large knobs, analog speedometer, v6 and more.
Thanks for watching!
Dream car - thank you!
You’re welcome
Recently got a 24 TRD off road premium, learning to love it, really like the looks of the 25 trail hunter, but really like the simplicity of the 24, fits me perfect, well, almost, could use a lift & some 33" tires, right now, I'm just thankful I got one before they are no more.
Wish i could own one of these along with my tundra. Always wanted one.
All good things come in time
I love 4 runner and I have 2003 .4Runner 4.7litter engine tools it’s reliable and it’s over 220000 miles now it’s still good.
Nice
Great review. I am looking at buying a '22 right now......this exact vehicle (color and all). It was a rental unit for 15 months. I am hoping I can get the deal done soon. This review was excellent and really helped me confirm I am buying the right car. Thank you very much.
Thank for watching!
Did you buy it? I am looking at a rental delivered through Carmax but I am as bit hesistant about the rental part.
Hey Brian, loved the video. I wanted to recommend for you to do a video about the 2023 RAV4 XSE Hybrid if possible.
Thank you! When I get one I will!
Kinda wish I got a 4 runner instead of a tacoma but both are great vehicles so no big regrets 😅
Who knows what the future holds! There’s something special about a pickup.
Absolutely love the 4Runner I like the old school part of it… up here in Canada they are $70,000+ crazy
That’s insane. Why?
@@brianruperti vehicles have always cost more here in Canada, our money isn’t at par with the US so there’s the exchange… but even vehicles made in Canada cost more 🤷♂️
They better never take away this v6 engine
This seems like the perfect vehicle!
Indeed
Cool watch
Thanks!
In Channel rain protector's! My 2016 Sienna, wiper in top. The last year of the 6 speed, it's a sweet 16🤩
Well done in depth video. My wife and I almost bought another 4runner, but she wanted the blind spot monitors, and the safety system, thus us getting a highlander. I absolutely love this 4runner, it's a classic. I pray they don't take the shifter out. To me it loses that truck feel IMO. In a perfect world the wife would have a 4runner and of course me keeping my Tacoma. Curious if the limited has blind spot monitors?
Well done my friend, your knowledge is very impressive!
Thanks for watching! Yes I see what you mean. The 4runner can come with BSM. Thanks again for watching!
@joe black Nice to know now, thanks. It was 2018 when we bought her Highlander, and currently it only has 15k miles on it. My wife loves it, and it's paid for. So I'll just enjoy driving my taco ... we actually drive it all the time.
Enjoy your sport! Maybe someday 😌 we'll have one.
Very in depth and answered a lot of questions I had. Looking at a 2023 SR5 Premium. would love to know what the main differences there are between this and the Premium. Would you notice the difference driving it? Also, with the 2 row version, what is the length of "bed" you have with the seats down? Thanks, great video !
Watching the videos I'll be getting a 4x4 4runner and a Tacoma after the new year's and paying cash for the both. And both will be fully equipped 😊😊
Greatest review ever !
I hope Toyota keeps it the same for 2025.
Thank you! This made my night!
I hate when people say the car is outdated. I love it that way. Don’t change what works
Toyota knows people love it that way. That’s the X factor the 4runner has.
Back in the eary 80's, a dealer named Jack Safro called up fellow Wisconsin manufacturer, Winnebego,, and told them he had a ton of these pickups. Is there any way that you could put a top and seats in it? They said, "we're winnebego, thats what we do."
So Safro started to send a bunch of Toyota pickups to Winnebego, and they put a top on it and some seats in the back. Over time, Toyota japan was starting to notice the sales of these Trekkers. A certain Akio Toyoda was so curious, he made a trip to just outside of Milwaukee to see the creation that Safro and Winnebego had created. Safro was selling 30 of these a year, and Toyoda was intrigued. His trip ended back in Tokyo with him demanding that a vehicle of this stature is made.
The Toyota Trekker aka Toyota 4Runner was born!
While the Chicken Tax may have been a factor, the 4Runner traces its roots to a Toyota dealer in Wisconsin named Jack Safro. As Donut Media tells it, in 1980 Safro thought the hot-selling Toyota Hilux pickup truck would be even more beloved in the snowy Midwest if it had a rear fiberglass canopy and a few extra seats. So Safro got the OK from Toyota to reach out to Winnebago, and violà: the Toyota Trekker was born. All 1500 Trekkers built were sold, and Toyota took notice. Less than four years later, the 4Runner hit the market.
The 1984-87 4Runner received a 2.4-liter 22RE inline four-cylinder engine that generated 105 horsepower.
22re is a built proof engine. Will run all day long. Sure it lacks power, but it makes up for it in reliability. One of the best motors Toyota ever made.
All 4Runners have been built in Japan at Toyota's plant in Tahara, Aichi, or at the Hino Motors (a Toyota subsidiary) plant in Hamura.
As of 2021, the 4Runner is sold in Bahamas, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Peru, the United States and Venezuela.
But for stormy weather during the winter of 1966-'67, Jack Safro might never have gone into the business of selling Toyota cars.
"It was between Christmas and New Year's, and it was snowing and snowing - unbelievable - and, in the car business, when it snows you might as well lock the door," he later recalled.
A vacation in California seemed to be a good idea, and it was there he spotted two little old ladies driving past his rental car.
"They were in a little boxy, square car, and I had no idea what kind it was," Safro said in a 1978 interview. "Then, that night in the hotel, it seemed every other commercial was on that car. It was a Toyota."
Then a used car dealer, Safro was soon convinced that he needed to sell that car.
"The first year, we sold 42 cars, which made us the largest dealership in the Midwest," he said. Safro kept expanding his business and product lines to the current five locations in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Back when he had to run his used car operation on a shoestring, Safro even did his Toyota research on the cheap. He called a California telephone operator, asking her if she had heard of a Toyota automobile.
"Everyone has," came the answer.
A scouting call to a Toyota dealer brought praise for the new Japanese car.
"I asked for the service manager, and I asked, 'Hey, how are the cars?' " Safro said. "He said, 'They're excellent. We have a heck of a time getting them back for the thousand-mile checkup.' "
That was good enough for Safro. He "chased the heck" out of a distributor, winning a franchise and his first allotment of seven red Coronas.
His family believes that Safro began learning about taking care of customers while growing up at a resort on the Brule River near Superior. There, he and a brother and sister were raised by family friends after troubles during the Great Depression.
Strong work ethic
At 16, he made his way to Door County to pick cherries and then came to Milwaukee where his father lived. Homework at Custer High School was something that he did during the school day.
"He went and worked a second-shift job, recapping tires, eight hours a day," said his son, John O. Safro.
That led to other auto jobs and a gas station on W. Burleigh St. in Wauwatosa. In 1962, he began a used-car business complete with a one-car showroom, calling it Jack Safro's Pewaukee Motors.
The business moved to Brookfield in 1970, this time as Jack Safro Toyota.
Part of the inspiration for the business came from his own experience trying to buy a car.
"He went to purchase a new Chevrolet, and he was dirty from his auto work," John said. "They wouldn't even talk to him. He had the cash in hand, he was ready to pay cash, and they wouldn't even talk to him."
Safro figured he could do a lot better.
"Jack was still working the floor, taking care of customers in the '80s," said Jim Tessmer, vice president of the Jack Safro Group. "His whole M.O. was customer service, better than any other dealer I've seen. He tried to instill in us, you treat a customer like a guest in your home."
One car - the very first Toyota Corona he sold in 1967 - proved a particularly satisfying sale. Its owner brought it back in trade on another Toyota. The next owner brought it back as a trade-in, too.
That time it didn't get off the lot.
"We still have it," John said.
Safro opened Jack Safro Ford-Lincoln-Mercury in Oconomowoc in 1987. Lexus of Brookfield opened in 1989, followed by Lexus North Shore in 2001 and Infiniti North Shore in 2005.
The dealerships now have more than 375 full- and part-time employees, and sold about 4,500 new cars and another 3,000 used cars in 2007.
"We were one of the first eight Lexus dealers in the country," John said.
In his earlier days, Safro also drove modified cars and midget cars at area tracks.
"He'd make more money racing than he did for a week of work, if the car came back in one piece," John said.
Safro also got his pilot's license and founded Select Aviation based at Crites Field in Waukesha.

So cool thanks for sharing with us 😎
@@brianruperti yeah the history is amazing how it started!
Some of us don’t want all the markups they add on! Great review!
Mark ups are almost entirely gone now
Excellent in-depth overview video, thanks! Per your question: I've been the most satisfied with the Weathertech in-channel rain guards. Tried the stick-on before and didn't care for how they looked or worked. Switched to the in-channel, which I've had on two Tundras and now my 2023 4Runner, and I'm much happier with the fit, function, and look.
In channel is much nicer! Thanks for watching
Brian you did a great job with this video! I appreciate the thorough tutorial with the vehicle as I want a 4runner, I'm thinking the SR5 premium is my speed.
Thanks!
@@brianruperti Brian, can I build my 4runner on Toyota's website with that dual USB port? I didn't see it on there. Also, can it be USB-C?
Hi Brian! Thanks for such an in depth review. Just purchased a 2021 sr5 and thanks for showing us how to properly fold the seats down. The guy at the dealership didn’t know but I know I saw the bottom portion of the second row seat fold up! Didn’t know they had a first aid kit either. Reminds mer of the xterras I used to own
Glad it was helpful! Congrats on your new 4runner
@@brianruperti thanks a bunch! I'm enjoying it lots. It's white just like the one in the video. Can't wait to modify it some.
@chadvamp nice! What mods are you planning on so far?
@@brianruperti so far, I'd like to get the trd grille and rims, I've already ordered some heritage accessories like the tire valve caps, cup holder coasters and tow hitch cover. I'd like to black out the badging, get custom leather seat covers. Oh and I ordered interior led bulbs to change to.
Love the 4Runner…Tacoma’s sibling.
Hey didn't see the trd black wheels from factory sticker on this runner. And I have a 2023 Sr5 coming in base model but have premium audio and venture black package. With is the venture package??
Rain visors on doors. My first add on. 👍👍👍
Nice
Great video. I own a 2022 Limited and love it. When the world ends there will be nothing left but cockroaches and 4Runners...
Thanks! And you’re right 🤣
Hi, whats the mpg avg getting, any driving style improve gas millage ?
Fanstastic review sir!, I currently have a 2018 Tacoma SR in super white with the access cab, I enjoy the Tacoma, but there’s something about the 4Runner I’m thinking of trading it in for the 4Runner!. Also is the color “Ice cap” and new white color?. I love the rugged, big body, reliable, and simplistic character that the 4Runner has; I’m definitely getting one💪🏾👏🏾
Thank you! Yes I definitely don’t blame you for wanting one!
I like everything about the 4 Runner. I have a 2010, with 200,000 miles on it. I wish they had a way to open and easily close the hatch from inside the car if you were to camp in the car.
Nice ride!
I test drove a SR5 and was surprised at how comfortable I felt even though I am short! The body lean was considerable…I currently drive an old body on frame suv so I had thought that my driving style was already adjusted. I was wondering whether a different trim (with KDSS or XREAS) might be better for me.
The KDSS is nice but remember the simpler the better when it comes to 4runner spirit ;-)
@@brianruperti I have the XREAS suspension sys in the LTD. It cost a small fortune to replace !
@@rayduffy6172 💰
We have a 2014 Trail...the first year of the 5th Gen. I have parked right next to a 2023 TRD Off Road and it is almost impossible to tell the difference. Yep, little box in the grill for the radar cruise and the stickers on the side. We "only" have 148,000 miles on it. Winch, lift, tires, lights, rock sliders and roof rails have changed our look a bit. Not in a hurry, but looking forward to the 6th gen or new Land Cruiser. Would love to get more than 15MPG and some new tech...
This is the best review of the 4Runner I've seen on the internet thus far thank you I'm really interested in purchasing a 4Runner I really love the 4Runner TRD Pro but I think I may go base and just modify what do you think I think I can save money this way
Thank you! I think save the money get an Off road or Off road premium and do a couple tasteful mods and then just maintain it and enjoy its reliability. 👌🏼
@@brianruperti OK Thanks👍
Love the review, I’m looking at buying one myself in Underground colour, thinking SR5 is the best choice for me. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I have a 2009 tacoma and a 2024 4runner. almost like the one you are showing
the window sticker you showed listed TRD black wheel package for 1890.....they're not on the truck you reviewed....great review though and this is the exact truck I want to get...
feelings on the 4x2 SR5
Weird and cheap and zero resale value. But I’m just one person. If you’re down south and never need it, go for it.
I love my 2018 has only 33k miles on it. I love its outdatedness it's why I bought it.
Wish I had one
I just love your explanations about the working parts on my Toyota 4Runner SR5. I am female, 76 years old and I love my 4Runners. There's a lot I didn't know about my 2022. It just replaced our fifteen-year-old 2008 Toyota 4Runner. Obviously our favorite vehicle ever. You do do all of us such a wonderful service and we appreciate all your videos. The one thing that you did not explain to me was the gear shift lever and the things to the left. Am I supposed to be driving any of those? I appreciate any answer you can give me about that
Hey thanks so much! So glad to hear I could help. Please check this out for more info! ruclips.net/video/XFOu1pZ9h0I/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Hey does your dealership have any Sequoias or FJ cruisers? I'd love to see one of those reviews
Not at this time to review sorry but will keep in mind!
I feel like the plastics in this feel better simply because it’s a older Toyota. Interestingly enough the roll down rear window isn’t fully automatic on the new tundra.
Good in-depth review. However, I would love to see your take on the 2023 Limited model. After sitting in the 2023 Limited, I'm considering getting one. But, only because my local Chevy dealer here in The Bahamas can't bring in a Tahoe for less than $110K. The [best] alternative is the 4Runner from our local authorized Toyota dealer. Not interested in other OEM brands.
Thank you. I shall do the limited for you when I get one.
What happened to the Black TRD wheels in the sticker?
The one in the video has factory silver.
Interesting I didn’t notice that! I hope they didn’t swap stickers with the other one it was next to (which had those wheels)
Snazzy red jacket btw
Thanks!
I bought a 2023 Toyota forerunner Trd off-road premium. I just finished breaking in the engine and this is the first time I’ve ever owned a Toyota. Is it normal for this engine to sound loud? Almost like a small diesel engine?
I don’t know what your engine sounds like I have to listen in person but if you’re concerned bring it to service asap to get it checked out
This is a great review and much appreciated. Does the driver side have memory seats?
Thanks! Seat memory is not on the SR5.
@@brianruperti Coo, understood and thank you very much.
You’re welcome
