Key word: trim. I know they have off-road capability. But let’s be truly honest; these vehicles are pavement used lifestyle accessories for the vast majority of buyers.
They know 99.9% of them will be bought by suburban dads that like to mall crawl instead of rock crawl and by soccer moms that need a bigger vehicle than all the other moms at school to feel 'safer.'

Hybrid powertrains are great *when* they are made properly. Given that we're talking about Toyota, I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt and presume that it was made properly and therefore will be better than just a plain ICE.
I like the Land Cruiser more. This is a cool suv, and I’m sure it’s really nice but the Land Cruiser seems more mature. The inside just seems really busy. I like the outside of this but the LandCruiser I think looks a little better, but that’s personal opinion. It is wild though that they have this, Land Cruiser, RAV4 TRD, and a Sequoia.
Im not an off-road SUV/truck guy, but the fact that toyota is putting out all these options for offroad people while also having the GR Yaris, corolla, supra and 86 for car people AND having economy cars, hybrids, electrics and even a hydrogen car is insane to me. Definitely the brand with the most to offer right now.
Love the 4runner. Have the gen 4 with the 1gr-fe with 352k miles on original engine and transmission. Glad they kept the back window row down feature as well cause I use it all the time.
@@Zeno7741 Yeah she has been maintain very well. Around 350k I replaced the radiator, hoses, water pump, pcv valve and hoses. Also replaced the timing set since these are know stretch with high mileage. Replace all orings for the oil pickup tube as well. They were starting to get hard. Hope she will make it to half million miles but I be surprised the transmission make it that long.

Why would u need this one when u got the land cruiser parado, land cruiser 300 series , Kluger, fortuner. Also u have the diesel engines tht we never got here in canada 🇨🇦 😢
lol can’t wait to see these markups when people are paying 70k for SR5 Tacos. Still not sure where Toyotas head is it when they have 4-5 vehicles that essentially all do the same thing. That’s if you don’t include the Lexus versions.
the GX has a 3.4L 6 cylinder. the Toyota products only have 4 cylinder products. that’s a major differentiator as well. the GX will get the hybrid powertrain at some point, but the Toyotas won’t get the 6 cylinder engine.

So same price for this, LC, Sequoia, and the GX, but only the Sequoia and the GX have both a third row and a V6. A high school intern must be running product at Toyota.

The funny thing is, the segmentation for these triplets is far easier for those outside North America. You have the GX with its TTV6 engine.

Sort of… the older 4Runner was Japanese built and shared more with other vehicles than it did with the Tacoma. The Tundra / Sequoia however were always pretty much the same vehicle. The oldest 4Runner and Hilux (pickup) were both Japanese and on basically the same vehicle though.
These have always been a great offroader. BUT, the switch to the tiny turbo 4 cylinders may prove to be a huge mistake, in the long run. Much of the new Toyota & Lexus lineup is taking this same gable.
And these pos will sit and rot just like the Tundra's are and the Tacoma's are starting too also. Toyota truck division is officially over. This is the 3rd insulting epic failure in a row decimating the entire US truck division.
Yesterday I bought a 2022 4 runner.. the sales man told me to wait for the new 4runner to arrived.. I told him “this 2022 edition will be the last true 4runner, after this it will not feel the same in terms of simplicity and durability.
Love the reviews and you two are my favorite to watch. I think the trio all missed a big opportunity with not having a plug in version as well as a good 3rd row. Even the Sequoia has a horrible 3rd row that doesn’t fold flat. The closest one would be the Grand Highlander but it’s not very masculine. Still waiting on the perfect Land Cruiser/4Runner so I can trade in my current SUV.
Piano black fenders? Weird bull dog jowls on the front facia. Side profile has this weird old Chevy Tahoe thing going on. I wanted to like this so bad and while it’s not necessarily ugly, they missed the mark in my opinion.
I think it looks absolutely amazing! It is a huge style improvement. I love it! It looks rugged, but modern. Based on the new more angled lines, the have certainly reduced the drag coefficient. The beauty is that, they haven’t _changed_ it. It is still a 4Runner, but refreshed and beautiful! The interior is perfect! Technology and f***** knobs and buttons as there should be!

I like the look of how the rear glass wraps into the roof, but the windows themselves don't, so that's just a styling element. That decorative glass is very vulnerable when loading stuff onto the roof rack...not that many folks will.
for most the 4cyl was the deal breaker on this generation… but the limited 4WD capability is kinda of a bummer, I’m definitely excited for the Land Cruiser review, I’m in the market for a car in 2 years so I’m taking these models very serious
It’s not a high performance SUV who gives a damn about the engine. It has over 400 ft lbs of torque and has probably nearly double the fuel efficiency as the last gen 4Runner. I’d much rather have this drivetrain than the gutless V6 in my taco
@@JC-dc7eb I said nearly double dipsh*t. My taco gets 14 mpg city and the new one gets 22. That’s roughly 60% better fuel efficiency while having roughly 70% more torque. Faguette
Yeah, it's going to be expensive and super past the Land Cruiser price depending on trim. Anything with the hybrid Max will be over $60k in my opinion.
@@TermlessHGWthe v6 that doesn't exist in any new trim across the entirety of Toyota? The last one to have it is the Camry, and that will no longer exist as of later this year. They are simplifying their entire lineup to essentially use all the same driveline components. Let's hope as consumers it saves us as much money in repair bills as it saves Toyota in economies of scale.
The 4Runner originally was a conversion from a pick up truck and equipped with a PART TIME 4WD system. Lately only the Limited trim comes with a FULL TIME 4WD system.
@@ChocobohunterWell Toyota is the most stolen vehicle in my area so it doesn't matter if car will last forever since it won't be in your possession. The existing insurance policy doesn't cover stolen vehicles for some strange reason. You have to double your premium if you want stolen car coverage. I know I was also surprise to find that out. Toyota doesn't do anything to improve anti-theft feature on their vehicles neither.
You’d have to pull up the spec sheet but the rear leg room looks at least 2” smaller than previous gen. That was the first thing I noticed on the new Taco, second thing I noticed which put the nail in the coffin was the price. The Taco, especially if you want the hybrid goes up to like 63k CAD, which can get you into a pretty nice F150 or Sierra. I think this thing spec for spec will be about 3k more than the current MSRP and the Hybrid will only be offered on the TRD-Sport Premium +, Off-Road Premium +, and the Limited and TRD-Pro/Trailhunter. Premium + is an 11k upgrade, and TRD-PRO around 15k, so the Off-Road Premium + will probably be around 68-70k cad. With the Pro pushing 75k…If I was in the market for a 4Runner I’d be jumping out right now and getting a new last gen and spending the difference on aftermarket upgrades, you will never save the price difference in fuel. Imagine a Bronco Sasquatch with another 10k in upgrades or a Rubicon.
I was so worried the Prado...excuse me...Land Cruiser, 4Runner, and the GX would completely cannibalize each other. Love all 3, but if I ever wish to upgrade to a SUV, the GX has my heart. Great video, thanks for posting!
I believe they've done that in the U.S., given the fact they dont get the real Land Cruiser 300 the rest of the world gets. The 4Runner could have really be set apart if they brought back the removable top as the 1st gen. Now its like 4 Toyota SUVS in the same platform and capabilities.

10:00 10:02 The v6 barely pulled its weight, so I have doubts about a turbocharged 4 banger.
That bomb at 10:59 had me shook
Can you speak on the interior space compared to the Land Cruiser? Is the rear seat space about the same for both?
ehhh…no manual. Between this and Tacoma I’d go Tacoma. Between this and Land Cruiser I’d go Land Cruiser.
Same.
“What color is this?”
“This is, mud barf”
Then realized it was “mud bath”
….
Holy shit, Toyota NAILED it.
They’re going to sell a billion of these at a billion $ a pop
Yeah, it's going to be expensive and super past the Land Cruiser price depending on trim. Anything with the hybrid Max will be over $60k in my opinion.
Doubtful, most purchased this because of the V6 and now they have been force by the government to neuter it and people will start to lose interest
Engine choice is a mistake. Could've kept the V6 as a 3rd option.
@@TermlessHGWthe v6 that doesn't exist in any new trim across the entirety of Toyota? The last one to have it is the Camry, and that will no longer exist as of later this year. They are simplifying their entire lineup to essentially use all the same driveline components. Let's hope as consumers it saves us as much money in repair bills as it saves Toyota in economies of scale.
@@TheBCninjait should’ve had the GX550 TTV6. At least as an option. Not that it would fix how fucking ugly it is
The 4Runner originally was a conversion from a pick up truck and equipped with a PART TIME 4WD system. Lately only the Limited trim comes with a FULL TIME 4WD system.
Made in Japan, wow, so best build quality. This car will last an eternity.
Until it gets stolen. Toyota is doing nothing about this.
@@write2nickwhat does have to do with the original comment? Also thats why you have insurance…
@@ChocobohunterWell Toyota is the most stolen vehicle in my area so it doesn't matter if car will last forever since it won't be in your possession. The existing insurance policy doesn't cover stolen vehicles for some strange reason. You have to double your premium if you want stolen car coverage. I know I was also surprise to find that out. Toyota doesn't do anything to improve anti-theft feature on their vehicles neither.
You’d have to pull up the spec sheet but the rear leg room looks at least 2” smaller than previous gen. That was the first thing I noticed on the new Taco, second thing I noticed which put the nail in the coffin was the price. The Taco, especially if you want the hybrid goes up to like 63k CAD, which can get you into a pretty nice F150 or Sierra. I think this thing spec for spec will be about 3k more than the current MSRP and the Hybrid will only be offered on the TRD-Sport Premium +, Off-Road Premium +, and the Limited and TRD-Pro/Trailhunter. Premium + is an 11k upgrade, and TRD-PRO around 15k, so the Off-Road Premium + will probably be around 68-70k cad. With the Pro pushing 75k…If I was in the market for a 4Runner I’d be jumping out right now and getting a new last gen and spending the difference on aftermarket upgrades, you will never save the price difference in fuel. Imagine a Bronco Sasquatch with another 10k in upgrades or a Rubicon.
I love it! It looks so funky!
I was so worried the Prado...excuse me...Land Cruiser, 4Runner, and the GX would completely cannibalize each other. Love all 3, but if I ever wish to upgrade to a SUV, the GX has my heart. Great video, thanks for posting!
I believe they've done that in the U.S., given the fact they dont get the real Land Cruiser 300 the rest of the world gets. The 4Runner could have really be set apart if they brought back the removable top as the 1st gen. Now its like 4 Toyota SUVS in the same platform and capabilities.
One of the best looking body on frame suv in recent memories. It's a fresh breath of air for folks wanting to hold on to their faithful ICE.
yeah, if you like an engine that sounds like a prius.😂 ITS CUTE THOUGH
Bro the end is best 🤣
Mudbath colorway looks so cool
That last word randomly thrown out before the video cut out 😂 Never disappoints lol.
*wipes tear from my eye.*
"It's beautiful."
excited to have this 🙏
