12mpg...my 07 Tundra get a little better with the 5.7 v8 4 door 8 ft bed.

Suggest to use Dr Colorchip process to fix rock chips. Rock chips are part of car ownership.

Plz toyota stop putting light gray head liners in off road vehicles. You drive with the back hatch glass down boom dirty. Oh and for 60 glfor my 24 pro it should have 3 things. Memory seats, cooled seats and a power hatch. For the love of god. I miss my 14 Escalade it had everything.

I traded my 21 trd orp we bought new with 30k miles for our 24 Pro in that color. Best move you can make.

I have a 24 4Runner TRD ORP and I have 19k miles on it, admittedly I’ve been driving the he’ll out of it, camping trips, off roading and I always get compliments on it. I have the new one year clay gray color, it’s been a great experience having it.

Toyota dropped the ball moving away from the 5.7. You're better off with the 4Runner. I only buy J vin Toyota’s

Another entitled millennial who didn't do his research before buying a truck.

I got a 2023 TRD pro Tacoma with 4,750 miles after 1-1/2 years. Did my first oil change at 3,500 miles. Love this truck so far. Last of v6 Tacoma

Make sure you change the oil every 5 k miles

The new SR5 is priced decently for the upgrades but anything else is a total rip-off. Plus with the 20 percent tariffs that are coming current prices are a bargain. Try to buy a car this summer. prices going 🚀

I will say dealerships are back to how they use to be, which is kinda nice when shopping, they have every make and model for you to look at and try out like they use to. So they are selling, its just back to normal, but its not like covid where everywhere was out of stock all the time. But having bought a 5th gen 4runner recently, I will say, you just don't see them on the lots, brand new ones get snagged up before they even hit the lot most of the time. Used ones don't stay there very long. Which is why they hold their value, people snag them up and then hold on to them. Because they are probably the last well built and last 500k mile with minimal problems type vehicle sold ever again. But dealerships are just back to their normal inventory levels again.

Door handles seems plastic to me

Hey brother great vids. I have a 24 in silver and I love it. Your videos pushed me to get one over a tundra. Throw a screen protector on the stereo screen and it clears up a lot. I was bummed about how bad the screen looked when I got it but now I couldn’t ask for anything more

I brought my 2024 ORP in to the dealer at 1,800 miles for break in oil change. that should be a must. They won't tell you that.I wanted to do it it at 1k, but you know...life

My 2014 Black trail premium 4R 95k miles has a few rock chips on the valance, but the body paint is like new and smooth, I buff it every other year or so. And no problems

My 2024 Tacoma Limited has been a great vehicle! It has 12,000 miles with no problems! I think the quality is very good! I am really happy with my pickup & I haven’t had any issues at all!

Cool video! I agree, huge difference in quality, one aspect on 6th gen 4Runner, is they are still built in Japan, so we’ll see if they differ from the Mexico built Taco in quality…Your about 5k ahead of me in miles, on my trd orp. Keep making your cool videos bro!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

I'm holding out for the 7th Gen, 2 cylinder, twin turbo. The gas mileage is gonna be great!

It will be interesting to see what the quality of the interior will be like as these new 6th Gen’s will still be made in the famed Tahara plant. The source materials should be Japan and not North America like the Tacomas.

You can't find any new 5th gen 4 runners in Socal. I've been looking for one.

Modern Toyotas are overpriced and disposable. Glad to have my 21' Tundra Plat and wife's 24' 4R ORP

So happy I got my 23 ORP 4 Runner a year ago in anticipation of lesser quality 6th Gen. loving the tried and true old schoolness of the 5th Gen. enjoying your channel!

Had a 23 in black and now a 24 in underground both trd offroad prems. Paint chips are a prob for both. Apple car play glitches with newer iphones for some reason happened on both trucks. Dealing with a rattle in the dash on the 24, but it’s only when it’s cold out. Love the 5th gen.

I’m rather embarrassed to say my 6 mo old SR5 Premium just turned over 2k miles. A real garage queen, but that will end soon when it’s driven out to our place in Tahoe as our sole vehicle there. I’ve appreciated your updates!

Thanks for the update...I think you are spot on. In addition to your observations, a big turnoff for me is the new drivetrain. 4cyl turbo setup is not a 500,000 mile vehicle.

I was waiting for your 10k review.. I’m gold that you’re happy with your 4Runner and problems free!

It's good to see that you're keeping information about your personal finances just that "personal"... The tried and true 4runner the "salt of the earth" in the automotive world!!! The new Tacoma is the summation of America today very much disposable.... See you in the next one!!!

Personally, I'd rather have real gauges instead of a screen with pictures of gauges and an old fashioned port-injected V6 instead of a dual-injected, turbo, hybrid 4 cylinder and the center console takes up too much cabin space in the new Toyota trucks.

FrontRunner SlimSport (SKU: KSTF002T) is an awesome roof rack in case you want to put a RoofNest tent on it with quick release latches. Quick release allows you to get the tent off easily when not in use.

We love our 2023 Dinosaur. Give me old school!

I go by the same concept in my gx470. Except I have to remove the back seat raw and slap pre built plywood platform to fill the gap. Not raised. It actually makes the truck lighter

The last of old-school good. Send one this way please

I own a 2002 Toyota Sequoia. If you take out the second and third row seats you have a perfectly flat surface and tons more storage space. I have a bed that fits the entire floor surface and it folds into a couch when not in use so that eliminates my need to build a platform. It’s basically a bigger 4Runner. With the 2UZFE I get a fairly reliable V8 and 4WD. Only downside is the gas mileage. Averaging 12-18 mpg is pretty brutal, but she’s got 320,XXX miles and is still as lively as ever! Look into the 1st and 2nd gen Sequoias if you’re 6ft or taller, you’ll definitely have more than enough room to stretch out your legs lol. Forgot to add that the 1st and 2nd gen’s have a rear window that you can roll down just like the 4Runner

You should have waited and bought the new 6th gen coming out. 5th gen is outdated, slow, and only thing it really has is reliability. The new one will be just as reliable.

I put a plastic folding table from Wal-Mart in the back to level it out. With an air mattress over it, it works perfectly.

I have the Yakima Road Warrior roof basket on my 2023 TRD ORP....really like it. I also took out the seat bottoms of the back seats so the back supports fold flat. I'm 5' 11" too.

Maybe a tripod would be helpful 😊

I bought a Sherpa Crestone about a year ago for my 5th gen and really like it, I don't have previous experience with any other roof racks so not a true comparison, but I like that their stuff was using a higher quality aluminum and slightly thicker side panels. I recommend waiting for the Black Friday sales, I think mine was just under $1200.

I have the Sherpa Crestone on my ‘22 ORP, like it a lot and recommend it. Very good quality and no drilling required. I installed it fairly easily by myself but it would have been easier with a helper.

12:46 probably faster with two hands 😂

This style of camping is what I envisioned with my 2022 Lunar Rock Off Road Premium T4R. At the time I was driving Uber/Lyft and couldn’t afford the gas bill so I sold it for $5k more than I bought it, BIGGEST REGRET. I am angling to buy my friend’s exact replica (just without moonroof which I didn’t car about in mine) when he gets done using it as his police patrol vehicle.

Check out Prospeed Racks! I have it on my LX470. Low profile, strong and has a lot of accessories!

Nice layout -- and it's gotta be simple for one-handed setup! My older SUV is smaller, and I'm your size, so the rear seats gotta go! But as others have noted, it's no biggie. But then you do need something to extend the deck out over the passenger footwell. For me the forward pair of solid tie-down anchors provide opportunity to use Z-channel to cantilever some plywood for that. And speaking of anchors, it's not the empty 50 lb water jugs that are a concern, but the full ones! And I'm liking a little butane stove and small heater by Korean mfr Kovea -- both designed for car camping, apparently. Of course all appropriate safety measures need to be followed religiously, no matter how convenient and economical the fuel!

I use a couple of movers blankets to level out the back. Then a pad and sleeping bag. I also remove the seat bottoms for more headroom.

Nice easy setup. Love my Sherpa on my 4th gen. They use rubber mounts that are quiet and won’t leak. Plus all the accessories for mounting and customer service. 🤙🏼

Thanks for the vid, same position as you; making the most out of the gear i have while starting my 4R build ('23 Lime Rush ORP). I'll echo the other person here to go with the Sherpa. He mentioned the sealant issue - it appears Sherpa is currently the only rack that has more of an OEM-looking mount system with those rubber blocks. There are horror stories on the forums of rack installs that used metal spacers and required dumping of RTV into the mount recesses on the roof. RTV hardens, and you'll have to hope you sufficiently sealed off the roof mounts. It appears the safe way to go is stay away from those types of racks and if you plan on using any additional sealing or gaskets, use butyl rubber as that should stay flexible over time. Again, thx for the feedback series on the 4Runner! Since 2019 i sold my Impreza which went through much more than the OEM intended off-road :) and finally settled on a 4R in July after 5 years years of considering a Bronco, F150, F250 (for the payload), 3rd gen Tacoma, 2.5 gen Tundra, 250 Land Cruiser, back to 2.5 Tundra, now 5th gen 4R. I knew what i was getting into, jumped on a good deal that checked the boxes, and it hasn't disappointed. This one is going to be the family rig for the long haul. :)

Go with the Sherpa. You won't regret it. Dead silent rack and you don't need to mess with any sealers.

I unbolt and take out the bottoms of the back seats. Gives 6” more headroom and more storage space. Works great!

Why you got a bump? Me no have bump.

Nice & simple perfect for adventure ✨🤙
