I pre-ordered a 2024 5th gen 4Runner about a month ago and I am sticking with it. I like the V6 and I work from home so the bad gas mileage is not that big of a factor for me. The reliability is more important to me than saving a few dollars at the pump. We are buying it as our camping and overlanding vehicle. It carries a ton of gear and can go anywhere we want to go. It is perfect for what we want to do. 5 years from now we may re-evaluate after the new Land Cruiser, 4Runner and Tacoma's have worked through all the bugs. I cannot bring myself to buy the first year of a new generation of a vehicle that we will be taking out to the middle of nowhere.
@inttruders Any changes for the 2024 besides the new Tara color? Also did the dealership allow you to speck it out without those dealer markups or add ons? Thanks in advance 👍
@@dgracias12 The sheet they showed us had no changes for 2024 other than the new colors Terra(brick red) and Underground(Grey). This could change since they have not even officially announced the 2024's yet but, the dealer seemed pretty sure this is it . Our dealer let us spec it out the way we wanted at MSRP. We had to call around to get MSRP because there are still markups on some trims where we live.
@@inttruders Thanks for the response! I currently have a 2014 Tundra SR5 with the TSS package(magnetic Gray). I did a lot of mods like a 46gal tank, chrome delete, heritage grill, 2019 led complete headlight housing and other stuff. So I will definitely keep the Tundra. It's also paid off which is why I would be paying $50,000+ for a 4runner without a trade-in. With these interest rates, it's going to be difficult to financially justify paying $900+ a month. That Tara looks great on the new Tundra but I want to see them(4runner) both in person. Congrats on getting it at MSRP. Make sure you stick to your guns and not allow the dealership to add those add-ons. I've heard people say they got stuff they didn't want. A dealership near me adds $3,000 for ceramic coating, and some other crap that would cost you $1,000 at most.
The dinosaur 4Runner is the best mid sized SUV made period, its dependability and resale is 2nd to none, being built 100 percent in Japan these vehicles are truly the last of the greats!!! all automobile manufactures are building cheaper vehicles and asking more money for them. we purchased a white 2023 40th year for MSRP and love it!!!! good luck
Getting the 4Runner is a solid choice. Even if you want one of the new ones you are not going to lose money on the 4runner. Once they are gone their depreciation will slow even more.
What it might lack in modern day technology it makes up for in reliability. Engine has shown it’s one of the most well built, less things inside to break, and a huge modding/accessory community. I’m looking forward to the new gen, but seeing how Toyota has been going, it’s going to be $$$
I have a tenet that I always follow: Never buy a 1st year model of anything. There are always bugs to work out. Your 4Runner has been around for a long time-it is the most bulletproof version; after more than 15 yrs of constant refinement by Toyota. I just purchased a new 2023 TRD Off Road Premium in Lunar Rock for the same reasons as you. No one knows what the new 6th edition will be like-I wanted bulletproof reliability as the number one priority. Don't know what part of the country you live in but if it can be considered the rust belt be sure you keep that undercarriage clean or rustproof it regularly. The frame is especially important and vulnerable for the long term.
TRD Off-Road Premium is the one to get...if I hadn't just bought my wife an Outback Wilderness, I would buy one now. I'm seriously considering getting one before the 6th gen comes out. The gas mileage is a bummer, though; if I can make it work by keeping my 2021 Crosstrek as a commuter, that would be ideal.
I think you've answered your own questions, get over the buyers remorse, and enjoy the 4runner. I've had my 2016 4runner trail premium with kdss since new and I've never looked back. She's my daily driver and overland vehicle. Deck her out and have some fun with her. I've got a four day solo trip coming up and so should you 😅😅 be safe out there.
Do we own the exact same vehicle lol? I also drive a 2022 army green TRD ORP “plus.” The “plus” is b/c of the front facing camera. I am getting the 2024 TRD PRO once it comes out and keeping it forever.
Hm. I want a 4runner but just bought the last taco model. I wonder of i pay this off quick enough to get one of the last 4runners before the change over...
No. The cars are get built worse and worse every year. I guess if you want more plastic and cheap tin you should have waited. They pretty much all junk. Just become bigger junk every year. Question is how crappy they can build them i think. It's like a competition on who can use the worst building materials and lowest quality.
You could not have been any more right. After feeling the trunk of the new Toyota Land Cruiser, I bought a 4runner again. no way is that box economy car is worth the price😂
I think they will, simply based on their long term reliability and capability right out of the box. We’ve already seen this model hold it’s value over time. Thanks for tuning in
If you get your hands on a 2024 4runner TRD PRO in Tara, enjoy it and keep the miles low, it's going to be worth the same dealer markup you paid or more. 😁 Just look at the FJ trail edition.
Unlike Joe Biden or Mitch McConnell, the 4Runner gets better with age👍😎 Waiting gets you a newer more complex vehicle that will not be as customizable!! Dinosaurs still rule the earth - go 4Runner!!
More 4runner videos! :)

Love it man, thanks for the comment. I agree with you, tried and true is tough to beat in today’s market. So many “features,” are unproven.

@@dgracias12 i ceramic coated mine myself. Cost like $80
The new models will have huge dealer mark ups for a few years.

The 40th Edition is sweet! There’s a black one driving around our neighborhood, it’s awesome.
I know those new models are coming but I’m still looking into buying a low mileage 2022 or 2023 4Runner within the next several months anyway! 😊
Admittedly biased but I believe that’s a good choice!

Great points, you nailed it!
Keep manufacturing them like the 70 series and you will have a steady growing sales for years to come
Ooofff now we’re talking 💯

The 4Runner is “old” alright. It’ll still be alive and kicking long before every other modern vehicle even the new Land Cruiser hits the junkyard! 😂😂

I bought a 2023 4Runner. Maybe I’ll think about a new one in a few years, but I wouldn’t want to buy in the first couple years of a major redesign.
Ive been waiting to get a new one., but nothing is wrong with my 97 4WD
Well said and totally agree, not looking forward to the new 4Runner.
Hm. I want a 4runner but just bought the last taco model. I wonder of i pay this off quick enough to get one of the last 4runners before the change over...
Stick with the dinosaur.

Do you have any interest in shooting a test video for our product of Toyota 4Runner?
you think these 5th gen 4runners will hold resale value when Toyota releases the 6th gen in 2024/2025 ?
I think they will, simply based on their long term reliability and capability right out of the box. We’ve already seen this model hold it’s value over time. Thanks for tuning in
Yes I believe they will forsure
They'll probably be worth more...😂😂

2024 trd pro will prob cost 60k with markups lol i might as well buy a land cruiser then
