I will wait a few years to see the reliability this 6th generation 4runner will bring to the table , right now I'm happy with my 5th generation 4runner
After two 5th gen 4Runners through the entirety of university, I have moved on to the GX 550, now being a medical professional, wife and soon to be mother lol. Tbh I'm still not sure how I feel about this 6th gen 4Runner, which is strange because the 4Runner name is iconic to me. Excellent review! Thanks!😊
Absolutely made me love my 5gen more as well seeing this and then the new LC test driving and feeling the cheaper materials on it. The value isn’t there anymore 🙈
Considering all the problems Toyota is having with the Tundra and Tacoma, the 5th Generation will be considered the best 4 Runner... I hope the 6th Generation does not prove to be a complete disaster...
The 25 Tundra and 25 Tacoma don’t have any issues. The first year bugs have been fixed. It’s not like the 5th Gen is perfect. I think this is a huge upgrade. I’ll be keeping my 5th Gen since I don’t want to spend the money right now.

Why? Those 8 and ten speed auto trans are problematic. If out of warranty that trans costs more than the engine. Why do u need 8 speeds for an off-road/ overlanding vehicle? The five speed is a workhorse and is super over built and dependable.
Correct, they were kind enough to try 2 different front ends and neither one do anything for me. The rest of the Land Cruisers are pretty sweet though.
Looks good. My suv cost $40k new 10 years ago, $53k inflation adjusted. So about the same as new TRD off-road. I dont mind the engine as long as they work out the issues.
That is a good looking vehicle! Can't wait for them to be released and an actual road test video as well as pricing information. The only ding I'd give it is all hoods should be gas shocks these days and not using a prop rod to keep open.
Videos are fun Jeff. Just that you didn’t mention the elephant in the room with Toyota’s placement of that battery in the new 4R taking up so much of that floor. Hopefully they will rectify this with a non hybrid version one of these years. But I am not holding my breath.
No thanks. I wasn't planning on getting a 4Runner so soon, but Toyota left me no choice after debuting this modern art masterpiece. Got a 2024 SR5 Premium with the 4 L V 6, and I couldn't be happier. Planning on keeping it for at least ten years.

I wanted something to trailer jet skis, possibly a horse trailer.. being a senior I wanted something to drive around my Grand-babies….that would be reliable on a fixed income. Not a mortgage payment.
I hate what they've done with the new 4Runner. We love our 5th gen where the seats lay flat, and the ceiling is flat and it has more storage compartments... plus there is no lift on the load space. We will be keeping ours as long as possible - hopefully until the 7th Gen 4Runner because I don't plan on buying this one. What a disappointment.
You lost me at the electronic shifting cr@pola. I sure hope they didn't do that on all the trim levels. Uhhhg. The TRD mechanical 4wd shift lever still has my old school reliability boring but rugged vote. The MTS up above I love and even if that has an issue the old reliable 4wd is going to work. yeah i'm boring but thats where i'm at..keeping mine as long as possible. Nice vid Jeff very very informative and there are some great things happening there despite the 4wd buttons.
Love your reviews but you mentioned the Tacoma a dozen times while only mentioning the Landcruisrer once in a very insignificant way (key fob). I’m in the market for a Toyota hybrid suv and not a pickup. Would love to see more relevant info and comparisons. Thanks!
As a tall 50yr guy...naw once again. 2nd generation ❤ for the sit down tailgate feature plus not being limited to moving my legs in the driver's seat. Less is still more..😂
Wow look at that prop stick adjustable for short and tall people,just glorious? He mentions nothing about the back floor which is now higher,can only put 150 pounds on top the seats that now tumble and are worse than what we had ,electronic everything I’ll keep my 5th gen no complaints BTW you didn’t mention that you have to put high test gasoline in this ,actually you never mention anything that may be a negative like no more flat floor with those tumble seats
The Tahoe is still the best bang for the buck. I don’t care what people say. The ride, the 5.3 or diesel, the interior space and pretty damn good reliability. Toyota is getting way too pricey for what you get.

The design is great though the front grill portion could have had the same features of the 5th Gen limites. Then this new gen would have been a beauty. Like many who would agree, the new engine is not making us feel we are loving the new gen as we dont knw how reliable it would be. We shall wait and see.
@@ToyotajeffI hate it. The 5th gen 4runner outmatches this in quality. Only those of us that own it knows what true beauty is. Outside AND INSIDE. 😎😜 But hey, theres always a sucker as well that domt pay attention to the details.😂

Take made in Mexico keep them and Tundras with v6 Turbo's
The only problem I have is this will be needing major service and reliability will go out the window Not to mention any transmission issues like the Tacoma does now
Yeah for 2025 Toyota destroyed reliability and jacked the price through the roof. Give me a basic NA 4x4 4R with no gimmicks. Heck I'm fine with crank windows and manual locks ($1500 savings). Also a infotainment delete option and save another $3000+. What frosts me is the junk turbo 4 costs more to produce than the 4.0.
Right now, Toyota engineers are hard at work on developing a three cylinder engine powered 4Runner/Tacoma which they can sell for even more money. A 4 pot in a 4Runner. What a joke,
Lot of features I would say, Memory seats, Aux switches, Aftermarket Suspension modded, Light mods, high wattage power, Latest tech package, JBL Audio. But that's it. Nothing more is good. It lost the reliable 4.0L 1GR FE, that thing is more reliable than a 3UR Land Cruiser V8, it can go beyond 300-400K miles. The A750E 5-Spd is also gone, replaced by newer Hybrid / Electric powertrain. The back seat is cut on space, it's too crammed for such a big truck. Mileage won't be massively better either. Looks like a new Taco, ugly as hell on the front end. Plastic fenders are garbage, the interior plastic is cheap. Just try to use that hold bar for passenger and see how it flexes. They can keep it. No thanks, 5th Gen 4Runner is where it is at. I have it and it's amazing.
Jeff, you do great Toyota reviews!However, the new Tacoma and four runner have way too much plastic.I get it cars nowadays have a lot of plastic but this is crazy.The four runner is an exact interior duplicate of the New Tacoma.Ive had Toyotas for 20 years and I’m disappointed.

Yes 👍 if the seats do go flat I have to keep looking for one that does.

Idk why Toyota don’t offer memory seat that’s suck for the price
New Platinum
2026 passport!! FTW
Right now, Toyota engineers are hard at work on developing a three cylinder engine powered 4Runner/Tacoma which they can sell for even more money. A 4 pot in a 4Runner. What a joke,
Ugly has hell and a 4-banger turbo electric golf cart. Too funny.
'still has the roll down window' yeah but not a trail gate😢
Lot of features I would say, Memory seats, Aux switches, Aftermarket Suspension modded, Light mods, high wattage power, Latest tech package, JBL Audio. But that's it. Nothing more is good. It lost the reliable 4.0L 1GR FE, that thing is more reliable than a 3UR Land Cruiser V8, it can go beyond 300-400K miles. The A750E 5-Spd is also gone, replaced by newer Hybrid / Electric powertrain. The back seat is cut on space, it's too crammed for such a big truck. Mileage won't be massively better either. Looks like a new Taco, ugly as hell on the front end. Plastic fenders are garbage, the interior plastic is cheap. Just try to use that hold bar for passenger and see how it flexes. They can keep it. No thanks, 5th Gen 4Runner is where it is at. I have it and it's amazing.
Underwhelmed by the carbon copy interior of the Tacoma.
I wish the interior stitching was bronze like the rims. I don't like the yellow.
tacoma has no bumpostops lol hopefully this will be ok
I'm sorry the fender flares are obnoxiuos
Jeff, you do great Toyota reviews!However, the new Tacoma and four runner have way too much plastic.I get it cars nowadays have a lot of plastic but this is crazy.The four runner is an exact interior duplicate of the New Tacoma.Ive had Toyotas for 20 years and I’m disappointed.
Why Nickel Metal Hydrid batteries, so 1990's!
