I own a 2024 TRD Pro in the underground color I removed the roof rack with a delete kit love the look replacing the running boards with all flat surface for easy in & out not having to look when stepping down went with Go Rhino RB 20's slim thank you Sir. great work
To me it is amazing that I see no equivalent from GM. They have a truck and they can make a SUV out of it. Ford has the Bronco and Jeep is there. Nissan should make a one from Frontier. These will sell.
Nissan needs to bring back the Xterra based off of the new Frontier. GM could easily do the same with the Colorado/Canyon and bring back the Blazer/Jimmy.
4Runner reviews crack me up sometimes. Every reviewer, understandably, will mention how it’s interior is dated and doesn’t have the bells and whistles etc but will then go down the line and list everything it does have and quickly you realize nobody literally needs anything more than what’s offered in this package for a vehicle.
@@BrianMakse less maybe, what more do most people actually *need*? Like I mean NEED, not some niche thing like a wireless charge pad. Just to clarify, I am referring to what’s offered on the interior mostly. I understand there are things overall on the vehicle that can be improved on like fuel economy and power train. But when you go down the line of interior needs, at least for the TRD pro you have heated seats, steering wheel, Apple car play/android auto, auto headlights, auto high beams, 8 inch touch display, 360° cam, park assist, lane assist, radar cruise control, all the other Toyota safety sense features. On the limited trims you can add memory seats and ventilated seats. Again pretty much everything most consumers would find the most useful.
You mentioned the "sport" drive mode? Is that specific to the TRD Pro? What are the advantages to it and how to you use it? I enjoy your past reviews of the 4Runner and I wasn't disappointed with your thoughts on the 2023 model!! Yes, it's old and out dated BUT that's the beauty of the 4Runner especially when it last for as long as it does.
I absolutely love the TRD Pro. I bought a 2021 TRD Pro in lunar rock and fell in love with the car, took it Bolivia where I drive it now and it is just an amazing car. Just put an order for the 2023 solar octane and after using it for a time in the USA , I will export it to Bolivia in 2024. Totally agree with your views
Didn't know you reviewed these types of vehicles-- but GLAD you did-- I VALUE your advise and opinions... THANKS for this-- I'm looking to get one of these instead of the new Mazdas-- will be more practical for me.. and useful- AND easier for me to get in and out of since I got mashed between 2 trucks in 99 and getting in those tight low cars is a bit tricky sometimes.
Well worth doing. I test drove an Off Road Premium trim level before buying the TRD Pro, so I knew what exhaust sound to compare the TRD exhaust to. It is quiet vs. drone.
The pro isn't worth it, but the other trims are absolutely worth it! I just got a 2024 ORP and I love it! The pro is simply not worth the price, but if that's your jam, go for it.
Ride quality is determined by a number of factors including the tires, springs, and dampers, and all of those are unique to the TRD Pro relative to other 4Runners. That said, I find the ride of the TRD Pro to be the most compliant of the bunch and certainly softer on the road, but given its ability to soak up big bumps and off road capabilities, it’s a compromise I’m willing to accept.
@@BrianMakse I have a 2020 Off Road Premium without KDSS. I was thinking about trading up for the 2023 TRD PRO. Is the difference that remarkable with the suspension?
@@rockeye you'll notice a difference, but if you like the on road manners of yours, you might be disappointed. If you want to soak up bumps and do some moderate off roading, you'll be pleased with a TRD Pro.
@@BrianMakse I want to soak up bumps. The man hole covers, pot holes and endless construction in my city have me searching for the PRO and the FOX Suspension.
Understood. I've done all my shopping and will be ordering my TRD Pro later this year. Since there "may" be a redesign for the 2024 year, I might want to hold off to see it it comes to pass, and if it's worth the possible upgrades...and cost. Otherwise, this is my next vehicle.
Nice review. Two questions as I'm considering a 2024 TRD Pro 4Runner. I currently have a 2021 F-150 xlt with the 2.7 Ecoboost. I like the truck but i have always wanted a 4Runner for some reason so I figured now or never for a new one. Do you think I'll regret going from the F-150 to the 4 Runner, aside from not having a truck bed? second question is how bad does the TRD exhaust drone? is it just occasionally annoying or consistently a pain in the backside? thank you
Excellent questions. The biggest difference you’ll find is overall refinement and the F150 is successful because it’s so well resolved. The 4Runner now feels like it’s from a different era, the days when vehicles were made to last a million years. While it’s massive fun for me to drive a 4Runner TRD Pro for one week out of the year, the drone from that exhaust would drive me nuts every day, especially under light load driving up a slight grade. Regardless, the 4Runner is so unique and full of character that it’s worth the price of admission. Keep me posted.
@@BrianMakse … thank you, I appreciate it. I have a refundable deposit on a TRD pro 4Runner that is scheduled to arrive in March. Midnight black color. Dealership already offered to remove the roof rack if want as well as change to a traditional exhaust. Not sure I’ll make the purchase, we will see, I do like the F-150 for its ride, comfort and I’m getting 20 mpg consistently. The thing is I can always get an F-150, can’t always get this version of the 4Runner. Tough decision
I actually PREFER it a bit "out of date" as you say-- I prefer SHIFT LEVERS to dumbass knobs, and LESS tech and infobullshit.....all this NEW crap has ruined vehicles.. taken the fun out of them- for ME anyway- as I hate tech stuff.. BUT- the rest is GOOD (other than the low mpg)... :)
@@BrianMakse I'd say since Jeep screwed themselves by dropping their quality to most non - existant, it probably IS peak.. but I got to thinking- I'm 67, injures so need to avoid the rough rides and most likely won't be OFF pavement that much-- maybe stick with MAzda CX-50 or CX-30 both of which you've reviewed too I think..
Delete the roof rack?--- YES- ME TOO-- I think it's STUPID putting stuff on top-- if you have that much junk - STAY HOME!! :) That is why I value your opinions-- you're FACTUAL- not trying to cover up stuff..
Complaining about the drivetrain, really? Wait til they put an 8 speed with a 4 cylinder, that thing is gonna be lost worse than biden & kameltoe!!!! Big time!
Already tested the new Tacoma TRD Pro and that drivetrain solves all of the problems so much so that if it were a presidential candidate it’d fix all that ails America.
@@romererunamerika9437 I agree, I have a 2021, I went grey just to be able to clean up and hide the dings a little better. I love how black cars look, all of them were before my 4runner
@@jsnow6925 any color is cool on this vehicle/. grey is cool too. yeah black looks great when clean with tinted windows. I got an incredible deal on mine with the black from an officers wife that never saw dirt and 18k miles for 32k. So went for it. I have never looked back. Great vehicle for off-roading. Take care!
The problem with the 4runner isn't necessary the dated and reliable hardware. It's the fact they want 70k for it. There is virtually no reason to buy a new one.
That is dealer mark up, most expensive msrp is around 55k, starts around 40k. I would say the opposite, they hold value so well the savings buying used doesn't make it worth it.
@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. It is not 70k though lol MSRP is around 40-55K/ I spent 6k more than you and got the off road premium NEW. Better interior, 4x4, kdss crawl control, multi terrain, sun roof and all the other goodies. It was loaded Plus the 4x4 holds its value better and easier resale. Saving 6k to give up all of that is silly. Weird to get 2wd version, whats the point? should of just got rav4 or highlander
@@jsnow6925 very true. I got mine at MSRP with some upgrades totaling $55k and honestly I challenge anyone to show me another vehicle which will hold its value better 2-3-5 years down the line…hell, off the lot even…
I think the only thing that Toyota could’ve added to their newer models is an armrest to the driver’s seat. I do a lot of highway driving every day to/from work, & that’s something I wish my current 4Runner had.
Thank you for the candid video, very specific and valuable info. Were you able to get the Noisy exhaust replaced? What are the options without compromising the vehicle warranty?
Nice content, but the camera / video is some times very distracting.. :-) Like the camera person didnt know where to point. For instance when talking about center console the video starts pointing straight down and then pans upwards to the console gradually.
Brian, great review. I'm a new subscriber. I have one of these in army green. Pretty cool but black is a nice choice too. Awesome stuff, keep doing what you're doing. 😊👍
@Brian Makse it's a classic and truly old school in a great way. I'm continuing to watch your sporty car vids under $50g CDN to give me a weekend cruiser in the summer months. Honda si, gr86 and mx5 all in the running. Tough decision!
@Brian Makse I'm thinking coupe although I know Miata is always the answer and base is ace but I might want to bring my two daughters along for a drive once in a while. Now I'm down to the SI or GR86. You've driven both, which one do you like better?
@@billlyle8539 In this problem, the Civic Si doesn't even enter the equation for me. The Civic Si is still at the top of my list and a wonderful one car garage solution, but it's no GR86.
Watching this review I don’t think you should opt for a TRD Pro if you don’t like the rack or the exhaust system mind as well get a SR5 Premium or TRD Off Road Premium instead. Spend the extra cash you save on the pro model and get some beefy suspension, tires & lift.
That's funny. The roof rack and muffler are easier fixes than swapping a suspension. Plus, I'd rather drive the TRD Pro suspension that was developed by engineers with the resources of a company the size of Toyota rather than some questionable aftermarket products.
@@BrianMakse whatever floats your boat🤷♂️. I own a 22 pro, wouldn’t change a thing to it since I’m paying for it all, but for most people the best option is the TRD ORP since it’s priced better imo if you’re planning on doing any modification to it.
@@thadlm2698 I was in the same boat man! Keep looking, there will be a dealer that will sell it to you for MSRP. I found mine an hour & half away from me.
@@eazyinstalls Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been looking for about 3 or 4 months and I’ve only found used ones for the same price as a new one. The new ones I’ve found were anywhere from $7,000 to $15,000 over MSRP. I’m in North Alabama but I’m going to expand my search two or three states East, North and West to see what shakes out.
What’s interesting is the Trd pro is not even the best model of 4runner but the marketing bs is very effective. Give me an off-road any day and the price difference for loads of upgrades produces a way better utilitarian vehicle. If red stitching gets you off then buy it.
I would always opt for the Pro exclusive color (minus maybe minus lime rush lol). Rarer and seem to retain their value better, especially if it never trickled down in upcoming years to non Pro models. Staring at a big orange hood bulge during my commute to work would seem so much more entertaining than a boring color imo.
That’s fine if you plan on selling it but if you’re gonna keep it forever it’s better to get a normal color, easier to paint correct if you scratch up the paint off roading
@@BRAINFxck10 True....but given how most of these TRD Pros get used, I think the paint does fine "offroading" on the speed bumps outside the cheesecake factory or inclines into the starbucks parking lot 😂
@@GreekCarFreak That’s how I plan on maintaining mine. It will be a closet classic (guitar term) that will fetch big dollars in an auction 15 to 20 years from now.
This, me, my wife, my dog, and bikes/snowboards/golf clubs, this is all I need. I definitely don't need a roof rack. I wouldn't mind a supercharger, however...
I have a hard time watching this because he can't seem to keep his hands on the steering wheel. I find that distracting. The gestures don't add to the presentation.
So glad I bought my 2017 Cement 4R TRDP back in the day. $44K compared to the inflated prices of today. Sure there has been some updates along the way, but not worth the extra 10K plus. The bare bones basics of the older 4R's makes it that much more special. It's going to be a keeper for me.

Legend has it he still doesn’t like the exhaust
I love this truck despite its flaws.
Love the pro exhaust, who else is with me lol
I think it’s just you on that island.
Love my '22 4Runner TRD Pro. I immediately had the dealer replace the droning TRD muffler with a stock 4Runner muffler.
Brilliant! What do you think?
did they charge you?
Well worth doing. I test drove an Off Road Premium trim level before buying the TRD Pro, so I knew what exhaust sound to compare the TRD exhaust to. It is quiet vs. drone.
The pro isn't worth it, but the other trims are absolutely worth it!
I just got a 2024 ORP and I love it!
The pro is simply not worth the price, but if that's your jam, go for it.
Love. This. Truck. 😍 Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Agree with you on the exhaust.
Could be so much better, but I'm sure this is a case of the market speaking.
the rack is owesome lol and I also like the exauhst
I just paused this video and checked for the remote start and heated steering….. let’s just say I feel really dumb now 😅
