They been out tho
If they do eventually get turbos the model should be called "HBP" for high blood pressure cause they're going to die faster than the normally aspirated ones.
19 miles a gallon sux PERIOD!!!!!
Scotty you're like if John Lennon turned hillbilly petrolhead, haha. I really love your videos and hope you keep making them... they're helping me pick my next car !!
China's(Han-Chinese) and Korea's are from North-Central Asia, but Japan's people originates from Pacific or their own island.
(Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Abe's alike are said to be old(1600-1900s) covert Koreans.)
This a prime example of why companies don't always need to re-invent the wheel. Not having the auto start/stop system is reason enough to buy one.
One of the worst things about modern cars
Hats off to toyota for keeping things simple and easy for the consumer 👏👏👏👏
Toyota had been making these old school vehicles the whole time for different markets.
Ya sad but true give it time they all change Evan Toyota see there trucks there changing the Toyota will change aswell. Yes it will probably be reliable but will need more money to keep it on the road.
Except it is hell to get a vehicle with the trim and options you want
The entire car industry is on life support with all these shocks 😂
They need it now😂
@@andyblank4157lol😂
@@user-cg7cc7zj3ehaha🤣
As opposed to the US politicians, puppets of Bankers and Corporations, who are all Lawyers, the CPC politicians are all Engineers and Scientists who have the highest IQ for politicians around the world.
Thanks to that, they have lifted 800 million people out of poverty.
Amerikkk4ns are really brainwashed.😂😂😂
It is a wonder the industry can take anymore.
I have Scotty’s dream car. 2017 4Runner, 2WD, made in Japan, naturally aspirated 4.0 V6, base model SR5 so no fancy suspension. Love it.
Same here. Great vehicles.
In 2003 I bought a new 4runner Sport V8 and at 300000 miles it runs like the day I bought it. It is a rocket! best vehicle I ever bought.
Have the 2003 Limited with V8. Engine and tranny smooth as silk.
I had no idea they made 4runners that had v8s in them. Never worked on one yet.
I love simple AC systems. They're easy to operate while driving without taking your eyes off the road.
The big clunky knobs are great. Easy to turn. Everything was built with a purpose. It's an awesome rugged vehicle.
Exactly. All I gotta say to those with big gloves on the winter, GOOD LUCK ON THAT TOUCH SCREEN 😂
4Runners can still run like a Swiss made watch even after 30 years. I just can't help but think that when they put turbo fours in them and hybrid systems that those won't be as reliable over time. Complexity will almost always sacrifice reliability and durability.
blame the US EPA and the CAFE standards
My daughter still drives my old 2003 4-Runner 4.0L V-6 with 387k on it, just normal maintenance.
@@mabeljoe4305As well as Japanese and European strict standards as well.
You do realize you are talking about Toyota. They don't simply build something and throw it on the streets. They test and test and make sure there is the reliability that is expected from them before they release it.
@@jmackinjersey1If there is anyone you can trust to do it right, Toyota is the one.
Scotty is the man. This feels like taking my Dad with me for a test drive. Love it.
I love Scotty's rant about the AC controls lol. Too many other car brands make AC controls harder than it should be to use!
👍👍💯
Using touch screen for climate control is the worst
@@Anomize23completely agree!! The civic and dodge with the touch screen climate control is horrible! Won't buy one.
Agreed, a TV in the car is the definition of distracted driving 🤷
I own a 2016 4Runner Trail Edition which I bought new. I must say this is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned and I’m 65 years old. I also plan on handing it down to my kids once I kick the bucket. Keep up on the simple maintenance and it will last forever 👍🏼
2014 trail edition here, most dependable and capable vehicle I've ever had.
Very nice! Should last 4Ever. Probably one of the finest vehicle designs of all time.
Got my 2020 when I turned 46. Love it, and keeping it for the next 20 years.
imagine wasting your years driving the same car
@@hassyg4083Been there and done that.
Currently on my 3rd 4Runner (2019). I’ve only owned 4Runners. I truly believe that the 1999 used 4Runner I got in college would have lasted longer had I not been rear ended on the freeway. I walked away fine. Got a 2003 4Runner used after that. Lasted a really long time. No issues. Sitting at a light, a ford f150 rear ended me and somehow bounced off my vehicle and into a wall. I was fine, I was even able to drive home. The f150 not so much. I still don’t know how that happened. I ended up selling it and telling the buyer what happened. He bought it because it had 3rd row. Even with the minor cosmetic damage, he took it. I used the money to buy the 2019 4Runner. I always wondered what happened to it. did it die? Did it have other issues? Then one day I saw it on the road…6 years later. I still see it on the road too. Sold it with 150,000 miles and the damage. And it’s still going. I will forever buy 4Runners. I’m just pissed I missed the standard CarPlay…by one year! Btw this is in Hawaii. We love our 4Runners.
Those ones here are known as hilux surf and they are very reliable but also powerful enough to serve you. I like them.
💯 so many 4RUNNERs and tacomas in Hawaii. Love seeing them even as cop cars too
Nah mine took a sht on me 😂. But i do miss her , she was a beaut😢
I worked for Toyota in SF bayarea California. These 4RUNNER come in today and sold in 1 to 2 days.
lots of our mechanics do have a 4RUNNER
At the beginning of the pandemic, I was looking for one. The one I picked out had been sitting on the lot so long the battery had died LOL. They jumped it and brought it over to me. It had a thick layer of pine needles from sitting under a tree for a few months. LOL I used that as leverage in negotiating the price. Said 3 families just left without buying a vehicle today... and I didn't see anyone in finance. Got a great deal on the vehicle... about $3k under sticker price after taxes and fees. That was summer 2020.
I bought my 4Runner in 2021 as it was being unloaded off the truck. Had 1 mile on it. Got a GREAT heads up from a salesman who knew I was looking for one
I am with you Scotty! You can't go wrong with the naturally aspirated good old V6! That's also why I have on my 2013 Tacoma 4X4 TRD-OFF ROAD! I LOVE IT!!!
I bought a 2023 4Runner Off Road Premium a few weeks ago. In fact, the day I bought it was the day Scotty's last 4Runner vid came out. I absolutely LOVE it!! I chose the 4Runner for all the reasons Scotty listed. I want to drive my vehicle, not have my vehicle drive me.
Welcome to the club :D mine's a 2020 SR5Premium... Scotty approved! I needed 4 things when I bought my first new car... a radio, AC, Cruse Control, and Power Windows. Love the Adaptive Cruse tho, it's amazing.
You have the best setup, Offroad Premium is the best setup, I own a 30th anniversary and I wish I knew about the mechanical transfer case. You have the old school indestructible transfer case, I have the electronic one. Either ways they are reliable but I like old school simple cars.
Bought this same 40th ANNIVERSARY 4runner two weeks ago. "Certified Pre Owned" with 8200 miles on it for $44500. I think it was a pretty. good deal
I was on the hunt for a good used 4Runner for the last 2 months, and yes, that is a really good deal for that model. 💪
You did good! I have a 2020 SR5 Premium same everything as this... paid OTD $41k... got them down to $37,500 before tax,tag, and interest. 4 more payments to go... can't wait for December!
Yeah I think you found a good deal. I bought mine new and few months later a local used dealer was asking almost what I paid for a used one. I went by to see if it was true but they were closed and I didn’t see it sitting out. At the time I had about 1500 miles on mine and that one had 3k. I wanted to know why the high asking price 😂 oh and the stripes were removed 🤷🏼♂️
@@leec440 wow, they removed the stripes? I kinda like mine. She gets a lot of people checking her out because she's a little different looking.
@@Evom777 Thanks. I love this thing, she's a beast.
My wife has that same anniversary model and absolutely loves it. It also came with the ceramic coating and we didn’t have a choice. It did come equipped with the 40th anniversary carpet floor mats but purchased the rubber mats from Toyota as they are a perfect fit and last forever.
My 98 4Runner has 220,000 miles and still runs strong
I love the older 4Runners not a fan of the newer ones
I got 123k on my 2017 trd pro. Literally zero issues and I beat and daily the piss out of it.
It was such a disappointment when they dropped the v8 option. It didn't get considerably worse gas mileage and it made for a much better driving experience.
True , the 4.7 is a legend of an engine. Everyone wants an arm and a leg for a 4Runner with one so I got a sequoia and love it
Love my V8 07 4 runner...18 to 19 on highway ..16 around town...one tank got 23.4 with cruise set on 65...was full of furniture and dishes in the back...
I am FUMING. Seeing Toyota replacing bulletproof reliable NA port injected engines for less reliable turbo engines that get the same gas mileage is silly. If they replace the V6 in the Camry for a turbo four cylinder for 2025, I will scream.
@@MacI-1970I’m with you on that, but sadly it may happen then or some time after.
@MacI-cy5lq they did it with the taco 😢
I’ve bought the 40th anniversary 4Runner in November of 2022 so I’ve been driving it now for almost a year & I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a solid & reliable car, the TRD/Heritage stripes get people’s attention.
We have a 97 4 runner. Built from ground up. Can run faster when it crawls. Gets 12 to 13 and it sits on 35s. Fully loaded 4x4. We love it.
Lol what a rust bucket piece of junk.
I put 361k on my '96. The 3.4l V6 was mebbe the best engine Toy ever built. (along with the 22R)
My 03’ 4runner has a V-8 and gets 19-21 on the highway on regular. Great engine and transmission!
Cool but what about in the city?
@@Matrixpandagamer I was getting 16mpg on average. Can’t beat the legendary 4.7L!
@@emredreyyandanovic3258 Hmm, 16 MPG on the city, as advertised. I appreciate Toyota's honesty, no wonder they're so reliable.
@@emredreyyandanovic3258 V6 all the way. 4cyl would take some getting used to if you ask me.
I love my 2004 4runner V8
I will never get rid of it! Best vehicle that I have ever owned. Most of the parts are original. I can also tow 7,000 lbs with it.
My 26’ TT is roughly that weight. I’d love to hook it up to my 4R and watch the back bumper drag on the ground.
Had 295k on my '03 before I noticed a head gasket leak. At the time I couldn't afford to replace it. 2 years later bought a '21. My third T4R. Miss my V8, for sure.
428K on my 2004 V-8 Limited ❤
This is Scotty's dream car. It's like a brand new 15 year old used car. Gas milage?...who cares? 0-60? ...eventually. Wireless Carplay?...what's that? Government mandated 100 pixel backup camera....latest safety technology!
Actually this is a dream car for many people. Love my 4Runner. Had it for 3 years now.
People don’t understand why to a Toyota. In Australia we say “ you can go to outback with any car . But if you come back alive need a Toyota.” So those people never care all these technologies. Still we need to wait for 79 series Land Cruiser for long time. No climate control just this year added automatic gear .
Well, I love my 91 4runner. They indeed are solid videos. I dont care about your preferences about cars.
True. These do you have wireless CarPlay though. My 2021 does
Oh yea, gotta have that 0-60 in case I want to race a teenager with my 4WD SUV!!
It wouldn’t be a week for Scotty without the industry being shocked
Amen. I'm still driving my 03 SR5, 275k mi; almost never broken down. No major failures, plus it's the 4.7 V8! Only regular TLC, I love it!
The 4Runner is a great truck. Rock solid reliable. The only real long term issue they have is the frame rust if you live in the salt belt. It's been a known issue since forever, and Toyota never did anything to negate it. You can mostly prevent it by applying Fluid Film every few years, but 98% of owners never do. If you're buying a used one, make sure to have someone take a good look at the frame.
Yup, I tell people this all the time when they buy new trucks but everyone is too lazy to do it. So stupid when you drop $50k on a truck. Either way, I had 3 trucks all fluid filmed looked brand new underneath after 5 years
@@davidr6865 paying $50k isnt smart in the first place..theyre all made cheaper now..but, all you have to do is go to a brushless car wash a few times a week ,do the body and underbody. My 08 civic SI and my ex wife's 14 escape titanium are both clean, with no rust. And ive never fluid filmed my cars or trucks. I've done some tasteful mods ..I maintan them all .and I keep them clean and washed, and don't leave Salt on them, but never fluid filmed any of them, and we live in NH, we get plenty of s on and salt
On modern trucks, don't they hot-dip galvanize the entire ladder frame before painting it? Or would that not give enough rust protection to justify the cost?
@@laura-ann.0726I mean different industry but we got dip galvi all pipework that is exposed outside and it last years in exposed conditions in the northeast. Id be really surprised if a steel frame is having issues with newer 4Runners or any truck for that matter. Maybe early 2000s but it’s 2023 now these new trucks ain’t rusting for over a decade
Amen
I bought a 2020 4Runner TRD Off Road just as the pandemic was beginning. I can sell it today for what I paid for it then. It's a solid truck whose only flaw is below average gas mileage.
Got my SR5 Premium in July 2020. OTD price was $41k or so... but we agreed at $37,500. I can get $39k for mine according to CarFax. Keeping mine for 20 years... so far it's only got 13,500 miles on it 😂
The way Scottie was twisting those temperature knobs!!! 😂😅
I had the first 4runner (83) model 2 door roll bar detachable top with a 22R and 5 speed manual on the floor. Amazing truck went almost 500k miles. I miss that truck 😊
There’s one in Las Vegas if you want to grab it
@@Papolucho702how much?
I bought a Toyota Van 1985 for 1000 and now I have almost fixed it up 100% and love it. Might not even drive it lol.
There were 22r 22re 22rte 4Runners but none were 1983 model
The 83 hilux had the round front
Totally different body style
The 1985 version would be most desirable in some ways since you could get 22re with solid front axle.
There were no 1983 4Runners
Then again 1988 was a very solid year
1988 had the tightest 22re ever made
Plus you had independent front suspension
All that said those trucks are tiny light cramped and slow
They were not indestructible either
Agreed. Simplisity is sometimes best. I love simple knobs easy to use which makes it safer so you can concentrate on driving!
We dont have the 4Runner in Asia but we do have the Toyota Fortuner. Its just as tough and capable!
Wish we could get those here in the USA
I got a 1998 4 Runner & have never had a single problem, by just doing normal maintenance.
My 20 year old 4 runner averages 21 mpg on the highway, runs like new, it’s all about maintenance. Scotty your the best. Seasons greetings
I love how Scotty thinks the backup camera is in high definition & crystal clear. 😅. As an owner of a 4 Runner, we thank thee.
Only thing I dislike about my 4runner lol
I have a 5th Gen 4Runner and this one looks pretty much like mine. I love mine and I hope to have it for at least another decade!
Thank you!! it is my favorite channel to see car reviews!
''Now ya gotta admit it's a beautiful vehicle, look at it'' **shows a close up of the headlight and front bumper segueing into a close up of the interior door panel**
Classic scotty! Keep em coming, scotty!
This looked like something from the 90s in a way but that's great simplicity. Easy to use easy to navigate I would love to have one.
Proud to say my 2010 4-Runner just turned over to 308,000 today. Doubt I’ll ever sell it. It’s a jim-dandy!
Hands down the BEST Vehicle on the road. Loved my 2007 which my daughter is still driving. I needed a bed so i bought a Tundra. Miss my 4Runna every day though.
I really miss my 4Runner… seriously can’t wait to buy another 4run beauty 💔
Buying a 2023 GX460 for the same reasons! Solid V8 never any problems.
Legendary V6. That engine will outlive the owner sadly
😂
Yeah, those come with a will so your great grandchildren can inherit it
I put 361k on my '96. The 3.4l V6 was mebbe the best engine Toy ever built. (along with the 22R)
Yes. But Toyota has given us no reason to think their new engines won’t be reliable. They do years of RnD before release. And they lead the industry in hybrid tech. Look at Prius. Those regularly last 400k plus…
@@matthews852Not the case anymore , With stringent emission law across earth pushed by BlackRock and vanguard made Toyota like others , they hold large amount of shares and dictate terms and revenue
I appreciate you for sharing your critiques. It helps me understand the different types of engines and basically anything else I need to know about cars and trucks. I’m not feeling the stripes on this 4Runner but I like the idea of this truck.
Just brought one 3 weeks ago, SR5, love it.
I own 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium made in Japan ❤. It has gotten my family out of rough spots during the winter storms❤ here in the midwest❤
Absolutely adore how Toyota has managed to keep the 4Runner simple yet efficient, unlike many cars nowadays with unnecessary complexities! 👏
Right, is it a truck or a computer? Thats why all the tech lovers out there say it needs updating in tech and/or body style. Like Jeep dosent? its had the same ugly mug for ever. No touch screen controlling mechanical operation for me thanks.
I LOVE my 5th gen 4Runner. It's a 2010 and a guy I was talking to this weekend thought it was much newer.
I love the vintage stripes they're putting on the Tacoma and 4Runner.
Good ol Scotty, never tired of the sense of humor and knowledgeable of vehicle's.
A "Made in Japan" sounds so much more reliable to me. Otherwise Scotty's former advice: "buy an older Lexus in good shape and for the right price."
I just got the new Prius. Came straight from Japan. Thing drives so smooth it’s insane. I love the car.
A Made in Japan would be best ... I must say ... the price holds but the quality has gone down. The paint scratches easily, front seat motor defective an the Dealers' mechanics are no longer mechanics.... not even able to align a new car properly after 10k miles etc
4runners are made in tahara japan...in a lexus plant
Like that... "real emergency brake people!" love it
A foot activated parking brake! I haven't seen one of those since my parents 1966 Ford County Squaire station wagon!
2010 Tacoma 4 doors 4x4 v 6 with 288k miles and I love it
One of the last examples of perfection on wheels , have myself a 13 SR5 2wd and been perfect for 5 years , thirsty on gas only downside.
These things are the last of the truly immortal vehicles. My 22 Tacoma won't last as long as a 4Runner.
My favorite 4Runner was my 2008 V8 Limited in Silver. I added new shocks, a bluetooth system and a anti rear sway bar so it drove and handled beautifully. The V8 was a joy to drive and made the experience delightful. I should not have sold it but I am sure the new owner is still smiling.
Scotty sure loves big SUVs with small turbocharged engines and CVT transmissions. Especially ones with electronic emergency brakes and touch screen climate controls.
Yep, he hates them. electronic breaks !lol I’ve never had trouble with one
This message is inverted. 😊
I love that they keep it simple also
6:50
Scotty used $10 of fuel in about 8 seconds
Took me 10 years to be able to buy this vehicle, glad I was able to 2 weeks ago before the motor changes come.
Toyota's Old Celica Shocks the Entire Car Industry... Mine has got over 345,000 miles on it and i drive it daily.
Popular choice for Honolulu Police Dept.
Love your videos Scotty! I have a 2018 limited V6 which I love, but my only issue was the lack of power. I solved it with an after market throttle control called hike-it. Sweet running now like a V8. Yep I could care less about the gas mileage.
1 of 4040
That’s impressive
$49,000 is WAY cheaper than I thought it would cost.
I bet thats MSRP not what the guy actually paid
It's a little more (maybe 6,000-10,000 more depending on trim) than id personally say a 4runner should be worth, BUT, they're proven tech and engineering from head to toe (even the TRD Sport XREAS suspension, which has questionable reliability, uses the specific model I can't remember the name of that actually do last eons), so they absolutely PRINT money for Toyota because of their ground level low prodiction cost. So even the limited versions don't need to be marked up a lot. Its MSRP is about as much as I paid for my TRD Sport with the dealer markup
@@christianrobloxserver7282they don’t have power tailgates on any of them though. Dealbreaker!
@@RRLV434
Are you crippled?
I apologize if you are.
Lol its a v6.. my 05 trailblazer ss that i have $16,000 into will smoke it. Seriously this 4 runner is worth more being a special edition.. the trailblazer ss is also a special edition that held its value.
I still have my 2001 SR5 made in Japan with 330,000 miles and still running with all the original motor and transmission...
When I was a younger I thought stripes like that looked silly. Now I think they look pretty cool, in a nostalgic kinda way.
Looks like the BMW M stripes
Still driving my paid off 2005 Toyota Tacoma extend cab and LOVE the truck. has a few minor issues but can be repaired by ME!
My neighbor just got the new Prius hybrid. I couldn't believe how sharp it looks, not a geeky hybrid any more. He says it has much more power, too. And better mpg than his old Prius.
It’s an amazing car I just got one
Purchased a 2018 Toyota 4Runner in February of this year and I LOVE IT!
There's one of these in white on a dealer lot in my town Glen Rock, NJ. Going for $45,000 I believe. FYI
THey are common for sure. That's a decent price. Got mine in 2020 for $42k out the door
well that dude got number one! wowsers
Simple is good. The less tech and turbos the better until proven otherwise.
I'm looking to buy a Volvo S60 T 2.5 used🤔so confusing this turbo talk
@@pamspencer5733 Some turbos are good but the more complicated things are the more problems.
In my day we had knobs. That's the way it was and we LIKED IT!
Love my '22 4 Runner. KISS theory at its best.
Love my 2018 trd offroad premium. This is my 6th summer taking it offroading across CO/UT. I beat the crap out of it but feel confident I can get always get back home. Get about 17 mpg all around-w small lift and sliders/skids added.
Love the content. Great vehicle. Even better commentary. You da man Scotty. Wish you could work on my highlander. Keep it up. Love the videos. 1st to review this one. Yeah !
I bought a loaded Sequoia SR5 4x4, 5.7L, towing package, every option except DVD player & leather (I prefer cloth here in the desert). $53,000. It has 178k mi and no major repairs except a rear main engine seal, probably because its 15 years old! It will last longer than me! I'll gift it to the next generation. I feel sorry for people who bought Ford, GM or Dodge junk. The 3/4 ton trucks with diesels are excellent but still are not as dependable as Toyotas of old. If I could buy a new 2024 Hilux diesel and get it into the US, I would. Would pay any price because they last decades.
Bought a used 4Runner yesterday. The only differed between my 2019 and the new 40th is cosmetics. I almost got a silly crossover for the MPG 😂 If I end up commuting a lot in a few years I’ll get an old Camry and keep the 4Runner forever.
Welcome to the club :) enjoy it
I own a 2018 and you got me amped to go drive it!
Scotty is the reason I bought my 2020 4Runner. After 3 years it still only has 13,000 miles. I'm getting average 15-17 mpg in the hills of western Pennsylvania. I want this to last me for the next 17 years. Looking like my daily driver, the 2011 F150, is going to get traded in for a 2021 Tundra next year. I've fallen in love with the brand. I was a GM / Chevy guy for 25 years. Toyota just impresses me.
I love how he goes on about the Toyota screen and yes he is right that it kinda looks like an after thought, but seeing as how I have the 2021 Corolla I like it because it’s at the perfect height for me
I own a basic 2019 4Runner 6 cly that gets 19.9 mpg combo driving. I hope the newer one does as well.
it has the exact same powertrain so it should be identical in terms of mpg
They won't consider a new 4Runner design till after 2024. Love my 2020 SR5 Premium... Heated Softex seats and moon roof...
I'm going to be buying one of these this year before the V6 is gone. I loved all my Toyotas I've ever had. This will last me for a long time. A long time I won't have to deal with Stop/Start nonsense and 10 speed transmissions hunting all the time.
I’ve owned many Toyota cars and trucks. Out of all the cars I’ve owned the best well made was my 2022 4Runner. Thing was built like a tank, I had sale it after getting 16MPG on average. Apart from the MPG I loved it.
ummm did you buy it thinking it got 30 or wut
Sucky gas mileage but you’ll save money on not fixing it. I rather have 16 mpg then paying for repairs.
@@MrOBJECTIVEOBSERVER no I bought it intending to get the advertised MPG but realistically MPGs we’re closer to 16MPG on average. Definitely not no 19 mpg.
@@joeytakach7131no but when you legit competition making reliable vehicles with far better MPGs Toyota needs to step up there game.
@@FUT131 most of them are making better mpg’s with turbo engines which the 4Runner will have next year. I’ll take the old V6 4.0 old engine against the turbo engines. Btw the new 3.4 turbo engine in the new tundra puts out the same mpg’s as the old 4.0 4Runner 🤷🏼
I’m with you! Love all those switches and the reasonably sized screen, instead of these gosh awful huge screens all the automakers are putting in their new vehicles. That screen goes down, big dollars to fix and the car is not useable. Shaking my head…
Hey Scotty, since you stated that the 4Runner has a gas gauge and a fuel gauge could you please explain to my simple mind the difference between the two?! I'm cornfused!!
The only Toyota that I love nowadays.
I love those 4 runners great vehicles
Ceramic coating at the dealership reminds me of the Trucoat scene from the movie Fargo with William Macy.
I got lucky bough 22 4Runner TRD sport trim.
I paid $3k over sticker December 2021. Probably over paid a little but got exactly the one I wanted. Looks great in midnight black I get compliments all the time. TRD sport is surprisingly nimble xReas suspension allows for very good handling TRD sport weighs few hundred lbs less than other trims I surprisingly get 22mpg on the highway but in town it is a gas hog.
I've owned two 4Runners back to back - a 2005 V8 Limited and now a 2017 V6 Limited. When I mean I have ZERO issues other than the occasional siezed caliper or vent, after 120K, I mean it's ZERO. It is more loud than I would like, but I don't even know that there is an engine in it. It just works. I upgraded all the bulbs to LED, that was a huge upgrade.
Minus the plaque and badging looks the same as the one that shocked me in 2010.
That's the whole point 😂 Shocked they are not changing the 4Runner at least till 2025 or later haha.
@@leechburglights shockingly accurate
My 2011 Chevy Silverado ext cab Z71 4x4 with locking rear differential jacked up a few inches and big rims and tires with 5.3 an booo AFM . Has 230 thousand miles with no major problems since new period. Gets 19 / 21 highway
4040 40th Anniversary models. Toyota sends about 140,000 to North America annually. Great video Scotty.
What's nice is my 2005 v6 4runner (first year with the 5spd trans) has pretty much the exact same power train and drive train as the 2023. Suspension compnents are also nearly interchangeable. I am running a 5th gen suspension and 5th gen brakes...But whats amazing with the Toyota is how smoooooth they ride. Even with knobby tires it amazes me. Wish my beloved Jeep XJ was smooth like the 4runner 🤣 Downside: Frame Rust. I apply Wooxwax but only started to recently.
17 MPGs combined. $4 a gallon gas and perpetually rising. Sure holds its value. Last forever. Keeps you in the poor house with upfront and ownership costs. Even if you put half down on this you’re still paying $600-$700 a month with current interest payments. Toyota sure makes awesome trucks but middle class folks can’t afford them anymore.
Good stuff Scotty.
Beautiful truck
