I love, love, love 4 Runners. Had one back in the 1980's, drove the wheels off of it. Currently have a 2014. I think it was called the tracker back in 2014 but it has 4x4, crawl gears, atrac, locking rear diff, stability control. I have almost 135,000 miles on it. No major problems, still drives like a dream. Would not trade it for anything but a new one. Heck it's paid for and will go another 135,000 miles. Best vehicle on the road for me....
keep it going until the engine itself goes!
I'm glad for 2024 4Runner continues to have no BS powertrain. No turbos, no cylinder deactivation, etc. Since Toyota has so many EPA friendly options hope 4Runner continue to have reliable powertrain for those who need reliable transportation / outdoor fun.
Agree 100%. The only thing I'd change is more gears in the automatic.
Turns out nope…they’ll have shitter complicated hybrid powertrains henceforth. Everyone will want 5gens
In case you didn't know, the marks on bolts just mean that they were properly tightened (torqued). The ones with two marks mean they were checked again.
Currently a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road owner (still enjoying that fresh paid off smell). If I were in the market right now, that specific 4Runner as built would be my first choice, period. It had all of the features that I would want (to include the $499 dashcam), and the reliability that the overall Toyota lineup has dialed in perfectly. Thanks for doing this review!
@Ben Hardy: Is the TRD Off Road Premium the best value? I am cheap so I might go SR5 but I want one of these because I know it will last me 20 years. Thanks for the review. I ❤️ the Terra color…
Despite how outdated it is, I still love it because of the durability. Get one while it lasts before Toyota makes it a hybrid like the tacoma
What about Toyota's history suggests that a Hybrid 4 Runner wouldn't be durable?
I actually kind of like the look of this in the video. My wife and I just looked at a Terra TRD Pro in person when it was overcast. A lot of days like that here in the Pacific Northwest. It is totally brown. My wife looked at me and immediately said 'No." I have no desire to own a brown truck either. Maybe when I am in my 70's I will really like a brown truck but I am not there yet.
Pretty sure that the strap is so that you can close the tailgate from the inside regardless of height.
Just got the 24 trd off road premium $48k. I’m excited about my rig! The dealers in my area very limited inventory
So, besides color options and price increase, is there a difference between 2023 and 2024?
did they keep the turn signals in the side view mirrors for 2024 TRD Pro?
Ben can you affix a winch to the front bumper?
It says that one comes with a dash cm is that an option now? Or is that the 360 off-road cameras?
Could you try to get an underground color one posted please.
I just recently traded in my ‘22 Limited ,loved the reliability factor and the ruggedness of the vehicle.
But with that said ,as mentioned in an earlier comment the thing is slow and my wallet hated the mpg rating.I knew all this before buying it and it was was on my bucket list so now I got it out of my system.
What did you replace it with? Just curious
Nobody who buys a 4runner does not care about gas milage. Go buy a E car bud
@@cch4722You’re not right but your certainly not wrong either. I brought a 2018 4Runner because I live in Michigan and we have all seasons and the roads suck.
However, yes the reliability is a good thing to have, but having better MPG would be good as well. I’m not expecting to get 30-35mpg+ but something like 20-25mpg would be great. 12-15 mpgs is very steep for 2023.
It’s literally the ultimate suv imo, but it looks like I might trade in for the new Land Cruiser which has better MPG.
I bought a Sprint Booster for mine, and it totally changed the acceleration. It drives like it should now!
Slow? Get urself a magnuson supercharger. I will, for my 2023 trd pro. Yeah!
I have a 2022 TRD Pro and everything is ok and MPG is better than the 2008 GMC truck I had. I do believe if you want reliability buy this. When the new 4Runner comes out it will have growing pains as all new cars do reguardless of who manufactures it.
Any chance you can get a video of 24 pro in underground?!?!
Have sales slowed? Is the lot full?
3:12 Are you sure the strap is for short people and not for people that are camping and want to close the back from the inside? 🤔
I now own a 08 fj cruzer . love the smaller size. But not being built annymore. So it a 4-runner next. Before they go to 4cyl. The v6 is bullet proof why mess it up ?
Those paint marks are NOT from the Tahara factory in Japan. They are either done at the port of entry or at the stealership.
That warm orange/red looks classic. Really like the 4L V6 and manual shift 4x4. I hope Toyota doesn't change to push button actuation for the 4x4.
They sold this one today. That color is awesome in person.
Better buy this one before Toyota screws the next one up.
Why do you assume they will mess it up, just cause it’s not to your liking ?
@@jesse1008they put a hybrid 4 cylinder in the Land Cruiser, it’s safe to say it’ll be the same with the 4Runner.
@@getbruhd6087 that’s not ruining though
@@jesse1008 yes it is. It’s not gonna last.
@@jesse1008 Way more complicated.
This color has a 70s vibe to it and I’m digging it tbh
Like the looks of it except for the 1990s shifter but the rest is nice. Needs a little more power for a heavy suv.
I would buy this in a heartbeat. Everybody needs to go out and get one before it is all gone.
Bullshit
I want one of these so bad!
Thought I wanted a 4runner until I took one for a test drive. That changed my mind quick. Its a slow big heavy box. Very sluggish throtle response with equally horendous gas milage. I guess if you climb mountains everyday it would be a good vehicle for you.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks that. I had went through two 4Runners until I decided the Tundra met my needs more for torque and speed
@@matt2194Bells and whistles usually don't fail. Toyota is just lazy and greedy
Sounds like you need a lil pink barbie car
The gas mileage is a killer. Absurd to buy or lease something that guzzles so much in 2023 when there are plenty of comparable vehicles with a much better MPG profile.
It needs a Hemi
I hope I can get one😮
I’ll buy the pro just for the pro color. If not I’ll get the underground color off road premium.
When is this going to change ?
I just ordered the 4Runner TRD Pro in Terra and after tax and everything it’s about 65k
It’s a steep cost but it’s proven to be reliable and it’s a beast
No I paid msrp and got some accessories tax and title will bump it up
Sounds about right
@@matt2194 no after accessories it’s almost $59k and plus tax and everything it’s gets to that price. Build on the Toyota website is the same price so it’s definitely at msrp
That’s crazy but it’s a nice car I have a 2017 SR5 base model 😂
@matt2194 what dealer? I'm in the market.
end of an era
I had a 2019 in voodoo blue… year before they did the tech upgrade. It was great and did everything I wanted it to do. What I hated was little leafs scratching the shit out of it on the trails. I bought it because I wanted to do overlanding but never got too :/ as a weekend car I wanted a more fun to drive vehicle it’s pretty pedestrian and doesn’t feel special over the other trims even though it is. TRD off-road with XP package is just as capable. It’s outdated, to the exterior to interior it’s outdated. But that’s also its charm, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
At dealership right now! Picking up our TRD Pro in a few weeks. Snagged one in transit.. ( over MSRP ) most are sold before they hit the lot here in SoCal
As much as I wanted to sell my '22 TRD Pro to get a Bronco or a TRX, I can't! There's just something about the 4Runner TRD Pro that puts a smile on my face everytime I drive it. I'll probably keep it forever. Best vehicle ever made, period.
I hear you
I've seen a Bronco 22' on the side of road broken down, keep the tank. @@norsemanix2358
Don't trade it. You will regret it. Grass is always greener on the other side but the 4Runner is a solid choice
The TRX is a cool truck, but way over priced for what it is. The Bronco is a Ford product, all Ford products are complete rubbish.
Land Cruiser enters chat
I'll wait for the 2025 4runner TRD PRO.
The best Apocalyptic vehicle!
Will they have the terra in the off road trim ??
No. Only a Pro color
I love the solid, durable, "I may run over it just for fun" feel of driving my '21 Pro. This is my second one and I dread what the next one will bring to the table. I don't blame Toyota - all they do is take flack for being "behind" with all the tech. And, all the tech just makes the vehicle more expensive to own, insure, and repair. I drive my wife's '19 Passport and it's a nice vehicle, and certainly high-quality. But, it just doesn't feel as solid being a unibody car. I can drive over anything and there is no rattling, no creaking, no popping, and everything just feels solid. Sad that this is the end of an era - I wish they would keep the truck the same and just throw in an 8-speed tranny.
The sad thing is, that 2024 has the same exact engine and transmission as my 2008 4Runner, and it definitely needs more power and a few more gears.
What’s better? Black or Terra?
I moved my deposit to a black one, I’m not sure how I feel about Terra anymore, especially not having seen it in person.
Wouldn’t get either. Terra is fugly and black will show scratches and just a pita to keep looking nice
Terra is amazing in person!
Color is cool but not for me. I saw it in person on a Tundra. I was hoping for a bold pro color for its final year.
Thank you Ben for doing this. You’re THE first person to do a proper review of the 2024 4Runner, TRD PRO no less. People underestimating the significance of this review. Last outgoing generation.
He gets paid a lot of money from his videos. He isn't doing it fkr any of us. He is doing it to make money.
And a salute to you Captain Obvious!!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, we're all.....better for it? LOL!!!!@@vontrap6942
@@vontrap6942daaa
Some comments below lead me to believe Toyota is discontinuing or revising the 4Runner? Can anyone shed some light on Toyota’s plans in this regard?
Do the rear seats fold down to make a flat cargo area?
Thank you for the informative reply.
@@matt2194maybe they should put the turbo 3.4 from the tundra in the new 4Runner instead of the turbo 4.
The TRD Pro wheels and skid plates are put on in the US after arriving from Japan. So technically not from factory.
🤦♂️
🤦♂️
I will take the Solar Octane T4R TRDPro over this color any day
BEN can I Venmo you for your dockers?
Lost a sale, my girlfriend wanted an auto rear hatch..She bought a 4 runner new 15 years ago but needed the auto hatch and ended up with the Mazda c5 which she loves but would of sold had the 4Runner had a auto hatch…
She doesn’t care what you want 😂
I’m sticking with my camry til people start selling these used
I think the towing capacity is 5000lbs not 1000
2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD PRO Terra 4X4!
The dealer mark ups are insane with these 😢
Might be the weirdest spot for a heated steering wheel button I have seen.
The only thing missing is a power lift-gate
Imo no power lift gate is a good thing l. I get annoyed waiting for power lift gates to open and close.
The new Toyota and Lexus goes up and down quite a bit faster now. Our 08 RX350 is 50% slower than our 24 NX350h. It takes maybe 3 seconds max to go up or down.
Still waiting for a fuel effecient v6. Toyota has never screwed up any 4 runner except the v8 version. IMO
What is the actual price out the door these days? I basically paid what the sticker is now for my 2021 after markup
A lot are selling for MSRP
I’am buying one at 2500 over msrp
And I’ve been searching and haven’t found one at msrp
Haven’t seen any at msrp. Been thinking on one due its reliability but probably go for a limited since I don’t off road mainly trips and take it to Mexico for a 3k miles rounds trip.
Bot mine for msrp 42.5k in 2016
Why does it have the old wheels? The 2022+ wheels are way better looking.
Flat out I love it. I can't afford to buy it this year but I'm forced to make it happen. I must have the V6, I don't want the hybrid electric 2025 engine so I'll just have to sell my soul this year and make it happen, yep, the last year of the V6, so sad to see it go away, a naturally aspirated engine is a must for me, the new engine can go to the greenies, poor sad devils.
👍
I have a brand new headset and it's amazing with clarity...
I can reach and fist bump u.
🤡
It’s just an SR5 with upgraded shocks for how much more?
@@matt2194 come on, with atrac how often is someone going to need a rear locker? How much more is that rear locker?Most people who buy this will never use the rear locker.
The crazy thing about this is this hardy kid dumps on the limited. The limited has full time 4wd which is actually way more benefit than a diff lock in the real world and it’s cheaper than the pro.
SR5 doesnt come with skid plate, roof rack, heated steering wheel, rear locker,(which if you wheel its a must!) Also has the rear window roll down buttons on the outside like the limited.
Other items include the grill which is 1300 bucks 5 years ago addition cause the ugly toyota emblem on the front doesnt cut it. 360 camera is another addtion. Plus the trd pro's value holds because it is a special model with limited stock.
@@xcit expensive skid plate
This 🦕 🦖 Dino is still around 😂😂😂
Nah, the gas is so bad. My brother got one and I wasn't impressed. Saving for the 2024 tacoma 😊
2 mpg more … and two systems to maintain. Not worth it
Pretty vehicle but dang 54k for a SUV is ridiculous
I'm sticking with my 2014 Camry till she don't run no more,158k miles on it!
Thanks to the plandemic and the government printing money like its going out of style everything is up in cost. Look at a full size American truck. A 6 cynlinder deisel dodge ram is going for 105k.
If gas were half the cost .... thanks Joe .... I would be all over this rig !
I am beyond pissed off that my 2024 TRD Off Road Premium did not come with remote starting........Un friggin believable
@@matt2194 it absolutely does not. My tacoma had it but not the TRD off Road Premium. Only the Pro and limited trims have it. I even called toyota corporate
Dealer gave me mine for free to sweeten the deal.
@@stevenm6301 I have heard, that it is possible
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK What?
Your Toyota truck ( at least 4Runner and Tacoma ) need to have the JBL audio system to get remote start
Not sure if this will continue for 2024 and newer MY
19 on the highway 😂
It's 2024 and Toyota is not putting a 6 speed transmission in the 4Runner.
It was never that much two years ago.
Yikes. I was looking at this expecting it to outperform jeeps on fuel economy. Nope. Less gas mileage, about the same power. Hard pass on a Toyota.
The bumper color doesn’t even match,looks shitty to me
The factory paint protection film is a total waste of money for such poor quality and adhesive… And aftermarket ceramic coating for any one of the 4runner TRD Pro will actually be the best protection.
That think will probably last for 300,000 mile
easily, the 5th gen will probably be into the 400 to 500k range with regular oil changes.
@@xcit
In the Midwest the body will fall apart around it
That’s a great looking truck, but Toyota has to do better on gas mileage. Half ton pickups get better mileage than this!
And they’re all garbage that people don’t keep
Zero running boards ...2019 Voo Doo Blue best ever Flashy Works
All the wannabe tactical 5.11 backpacker outdoorsy people will succumb to these prices, just to look like they’re “in the game” 😂😂😂😂 and that 19 mpg hwy, yea my 2004 for ranger 4.0 got that kind of fuel economy, you would have to be severly mentally ill to put down on one of these, I’ll buy an early 2000’s all day and be even happier
Surprise it's really a 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 no 2019, 2018. ba bla bla, ba bla.
Dude. Slow down so we can understand what you’re sayin’! 😝
That fuel economy though, yikes.
Yep, 13-14 around town I bet.
Over 50k for an SUV. Absolutely wild 💀 Who's buying these new vehicles?
Where have you been? It’s 2024
my RAM 1500 has 400HP & 400 Torque....and better MPG
Nice, the Ram will out perform with power and gas mileage. Not in resale, off roading and longevity.
Your ram might hit 200-250k if you have diesel. This will go well over 300 to 400k with only oil changes. Point and case my son has a tacoma with 325k on it and it still runs like new. Plus unfortunatly the kid only changes the oil maybe twice a year. Bad move but shows the reliability of the toyota. Neglect it and it still goes forever.
Ben, you need to shave😂
I’m a fan of Toyota but 4-Runner needs a refresh so bad!
Hard to understand since you engage in speed talking.
fix your thumbnail for god sakes
You talk way too fast, slow down and let people enjoy the video
$60k?!
But it’s going to last you a lifetime
How is it that ALL of you reviewers don’t show the FULL STORAGE FUNCTIONALITY???
So frustrating. We can view the colors on line…What we can’t see is all of the manual/electronic configurations. How is that not an obvious Point of interest for someone who is trying to understand the complete functionality of the use of the vehicle inside and out? How is it that none of your creators seem to understand that? I’m canceling my subscription. Maybe Alex on autos is more comprehensive in his reviews?
For 65-70K $$$? No thanks...
Underpowered tank 😅😂
Yes underpowered is correct. However the resale is second to none and off roading the vehicle can only be beat by the rubicon because of front and rear diff. Lastly this truck is built on a frame and will go way over 300 k with just oil changes. Find another that will do that.
@@xcitif I’m looking to buy a teardrop camper would this be a good option?
Too narrow and tippy...
Pls talk slowly bro ! You can't even breathe!
Disappointed in the engine, so outdated. They should have gone with the new engine that the Tacoma and Tundra are getting
Folks mechanics are quitting in droves. If you want to buy 65k broncos that have quality issues, Jeeps that are crap, go right ahead. Same goes for ANY big 3 truck offering.
@@matt2194 Exactly right.
That color ain’t it. Sorry Toyota, but you can do better.
Least practical vehicle. Most ego vehicle.
35K for this car OTD after a 42,500 MSRP for 8 years straight, one March of 21 came around they jacked the price up 20K illegally
