Only a matter of time before Toyota becomes like Honda and goes for the money instead of the reliability.
I have a 2019, do you want to review it?
Toyota, simply the best! Cheers from Argentina, Scotty!
Gaston G. Loperena Toyota’s May be the most reliable but they will never handle or ride like a Honda.
@@isaacschrader3160 I prefer a really reliable vehicle than a super handling one. Although I must admit I really love my two Honda quads! A TRX 500 4x4 and a TRX 250. In that respect, Honda is certainly number one! But not in cars, trucks or SUVs! Thats the reign of Toyota!
A used 4runner is like that old cat you adopted. You thought it would die after a few years but 20 years later it’s still alive. And you never even feed it.
Cute.
😂
Real original
😂😂😂😸
Bought a new 2019 4runner and still have my 2005 4runner. Number of times that 2005 has let me down? Zero. Still runs great.
Where u live? Want to sell me the 05?
Once I graduate from college (either my bachelor's or master degree) I want to get a Toyota Tacoma TRD or 4Runner Limited. Which one would you recommend me???
andrew belmudez 4runner
Two totally different victors.
My 15 has only done so because batteries in AZ last about 18 months. Sometimes they give a warning and sometimes they don’t.
Now that's an owner who knows how to keep his car clean, civilized and in good shape. Bravo! We need more people like him!
And thank you, Scotty for showing us this car!
I love my 2000 4Runner. 230k miles and only regular maintenance. Still tight and rattle-free. You can’t beat the quality of these rigs!
Toyota just needs to replace the grill emblems with Scotty's picture in a nice chrome frame.

Do you love it when he calls us stupid?
It’s the truth, reason why I bought my 4Runner last week
@@mynameisgladiator1933 he's just calling it like it is. Can't get offended off a man providing such valuable information.

@USA STRONG I don't get it! How am I tripping? What's not like about getting good info🤔
$15k for a SR5 Premium is a steal.
Yeah I paid $30k for my limited
I just got a 2016 Runner Limited with 47k miles. Just having it for a week, I LOVE IT. My wife and I had talked with a mechanic friend of ours and he recommended us find a Toyota 4Runner because they last forever with minimal maintenance. This is by far the most beautiful vehicle we’ve ever had and we definitely want to take the best care of it. Love this channel, enjoy the content and also the tips for a regular Joe like myself haha
Also, we live in Houston so we’d love to come by your shop. It’s hard to find a good honest mechanic these days
Had a 98 for 19 years, presently driving an 04.
Best truck I've ever owned.
Funny, l currently have a '99 and an '05.
I just bought a 4runner 2004 limited 4x4. Last month! Finally just detailed the whole truck. Undercarriage exterior and interior. Working on engine compartment
Was that pounding noise in the background someone trying to start their Pontiac?!
😂
No it was a Chrysler New Yorker/Junker breaking down.
😂🤣😂
Odds are it's some type of GM.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn you’re obsessed with the 4Runner lately! Makes me proud to own one
I love it when my choice of vehicles is validated, thanks Scotty!
Scotty, you are 100% correct. I bought a used 2004 sr5 4runner with 130k miles a year ago for $8k and it runs like new, buttery smooth v6. Now has 162k miles and no problem.
Scotty tomorrow: I was wrong about the Toyota 4Runner.
I doubt it 4Runner NEVER been TRASH!! If Scotty says otherwise then he's officially smoking crack.
MS Kewinyc I agree
@ I was responding to what Todd M said I know Scotty didn't say that I doubt he would ever say that because it wouldn't be true. Only thing he could say is he didn't like is the body design that subjective to each persons taste but everything on the 4 Runners mechanically is almost the same that is why it's so reliable. But I'm glad you know what Scotty said now you know what I mean.
Or “If you own a 4 Runner, you’re stupid!”
Todd m I have an 2003 4Runner with 200k miles and it's quiet as ever. Also Toyota had a recall for those leaf springs you say you changed. Could've got them changed 100% for free with OEM parts my friend
I traded in my Explorer for a 4Runner in 2014. Smartest car move ever. Buying the Explorer? The worst car decision I ever made.
Ford = Fix or Repair Daily!
Thank you for being honest with your experience.
if i remember correctly. the new explorers are basically considered crossovers. basically the new expedition takes the place of the old explorer. its a shame so many manufacturers are making cuvs and advertise them as suvs
Ford = found on roadside dead!
My 98 Ford Explorer was actually NOT a lemon 🤣🤣🤣
The Toyota 4Runner is my Number 1 favorite SUV of all times. I’d buy the 4Runner out of all the other SUVs
especially the v8 4runner, best 4runner of all time
Because of you and your channel, I bought a 2013 4runner, this year. Had 110,000 miles.
Smart buy my friend!
Very good. Looks wise and reliability wise it's the best.
$20,000
Got a 2013 cost 23500 with 78000 miles. Looks new. Love it! Replaced aSuzuki XL7 2005. Gets 4 mpg better than the Suzuki.
It's Mechanic's Monday, so I'll be giving away a Toyota 4runner!
This video surprised me! I thought Scotty was going to select the G-Wagon by MBZ!
I'll take mine in polar white please
well Rob if you're the one giving away can I get mine and blue?
A picture of one I'm guessing, lol.
Scooty gotta have never seen a Honda pilot before mine 2014 pilot got 181,000 and still running on it original sparkplugs no problems thing is bullet proof
I just got my dad’s old 2010 highlander limited with 270hp. Might not be as capable off-road or able to tow a lot but it’s still a great first car considering the decent gas mileage for its size.
Darn it! With all my other problems, now I find out that I'm stupid as well!
It's good to see Toyota's check cleared this month Scotty!
What are you talking about?
They always clear
How original 🙄
@@Yota4Life u mad?
@@TozFeek he mad
Hahaha
Perfect timing, Scotty. I was just in a car accident and I am looking for a new suv. Now I know what suv to buy now.
If it's safety you're concerned with, look elsewhere. These things don't score well on crash tests
Big takeaway: go to a Ford dealership to buy a used Toyota truck.
I went to a Toyota dealership and bought my Jeep, love it. Course previously I had bought a 2008 Tundra, and my grandfather bought a 2005 Tundra from that dealer, so the Jeep was just something after getting rid of my ailing 2008 Tundra that I found and couldn't pass it up due to the price and the condition it was in with extremely low mileage for its age. I'll keep my Jeep after my 2008 Tundra experience I'm far from impressed they don't build Toyotas like they used to...however if I run across a great deal on a 1st gen Tundra I may jump on it, more solidly built than the newer 2007+ versions.
@@wildbill23c and of course, jeeps are good. And they are part of Chrysler? In deed, up to almost 10 years, I am still driving my 01 Chrysler/Dodge Minivan. 270k miles and the engine is great. Engine problems, zero. Only the transmission replacement was needed because the previous owners put the wrong fluid in it. Atf +4 is the way to go on those. After 120k miles, that transmission in van has had zero problems.
But why did someone trade their Toyota in for a Ford? I always assume the toyota owner had a bad experience and switched brands.
@@BrockOBauma someone wanted a big belly crew bro truck..
I bought my 2013 4runner from a ford dealership. It’s been great ever since
I love that rear window that goes down.
Eww BMW
Aric sikora shut up scrub
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd rather have swing out barn doors
Especially when a stranger sneaks through the rear lol.
Thank you for acknowledging that, Scotty. I have an '07, with 111k tough miles, that still has original the brakes, engine, and tranny that continue to perform BEAUTIFULLY! My ONLY issue is the rough ride, due to having gotten the Sport Edition model WITH the towing package. And this truck DOES earn it's SR-5 moniker because it handles AND corners excellently! My next one will be an '09 Limited, the last year of the 4th generation, the best of the lot.
The wife and I just bought a 2020 TRD off road Premium. Went brand new because we plan on keeping it forever. Great overlanding vehicles!
Does it have blind spot monitoring?
@@KnightXV Blind people should probably pick another vehicle to drive.
Like an American mfg, they will not run long enough to hurt anyone else.
@@donjohnson6255 90% of drivers are blind
@@KnightXV 4Runner is not for deaf, dumb and blind drivers. LOL
I still have my 2006 4runner, and has never let me down.
Dian Shindiyani how many miles and is it v6? Just bought a 2009 v6 2wd with 198k for $5350
Mac Cam that’s a steal! Great price
@@DeleteMAC Bought an 06 limited V8 4X4 with 150k, timing belt/water pump and other stuff just done ($1700 job), one owner, mint, 4x4, new tires/rims + new snow tires on stock rims for $7000. Love the reliability, all the room and taking it offroad/camping. Oh and no payments!
I had a 1999 4Runner till last year. Got bored of it and the rust :)
My ‘06 4Runner V8 has 92K miles, still looks sparkling new and runs great. The only issues are the undercarriage has rust (perhaps ‘cause of living near the shoreline) and the rodents eating away Toyota’s “eco-friendly” electric ⚡️ wires... this has costed us $5,000 repairs twice. Any of you experienced the same thing? There’s a class-action lawsuit about this, I heard. Believe it or not, the rodents mass-migrated all the way from South America 🥵 and they’re slowly inching up now to the northern half of U.S. 🔹 I’d say ~ Make sure you check and take care of the undercarriage, maybe apply anti-rust protection. 😅
I’m actually looking at a 2004 as a first car.
Edit: Thank you guys for all your input. Even though I’m going into the automotive field, it’s nice hearing real world examples.
SGT WIZZLETEATS good choice
V6 or V8? Get 4wd. Take ladies to places off the beatened path.
Not much fuel consumption difference between the two motors the 4.7 V8 is worth the extra power and are built super well. They're in the land crusiers and LX470s.
I'm in the market for a second gen. They're slow and have head gasket issues, but they're still the best looking in my opinion
SGT WIZZLETEATS great choice
Just do it. I bought a 2004 sr5 4runner a year ago with 130k miles and runs like brand new. Smooth buttery v6. V6 has timing chain while v8 has a belt. Something to consider.
I just bought a 2014 4runner, 4WD, with 60k miles for $23000. Love it too much, my third one. Needed 4wd for snow....
In my area that's an amazing deal
Yea that's a fantastic deal . Over here you'll find them for 30k^
Drove my ' 97 4-runner for 18 years. Has over 300,000 miles on it. Still use it, parked beside my 2016 Tacoma. The starter and muffler were the only things that needed replacing. At 310,000 miles, the fuel pump gave out, but no complaints, it was good for so long. Somewhere along the way, the gold Toyota symbol fell off the back.
That is insane!!!
I am living in Canada and I am on my second 4 runner. This one is a 2006 which is a very old for a vechile in Canada with all the salt we put on the roads to melt ice in the winter. 370,000 Km. Great vechiles.
THink of how many cars would still be on the road if they used sand instead of salt
And they have been using the same engine since the 2003 4runner with slight modification to the VVT-I system. I have over 220k on my v6 with many many more to go!
Or you rather them put a new 4cyl turbo direct injection that will last 150k miles.
2010 and newer 1grfe V6 is completely different than the 2003-2009 1grfe
I've enjoyed my 2008 4Runner for 11 years and it still looks and runs like new with minimal dealer service. Unlike other SUV's this one doesn't faint at the first sign of dirt, it's the real deal.
Lol, yes when you people think of true off road vehicles, they think of a V6 4Runner. You must be one of the gifted children.
@@kevinm1728ummm ya pretty much most people think of 4 Runners as awesome off road vehicles that are much more reliable than jeeps….That’s the going reputation they have more than ever these days.
How did your customer pick this up for $15k? Does it have 300,000 miles? Where I live, these body style 4Runners do not exist for under $20,000 when under 100,000 miles.
After my son drove the wife's 2017 4-runner, he didn't seem to like it too much and went looking for something else. Just over a year later he bought a 2011 4-runner. My mechanic says that GM, Ford and others just don't offer anything to compete with it. We bought the off road version and took it all over the west, ( 7500 + miles in a month) including some mild off roading at Moab.
Amazing why Toyota has not awarded Scotty a free Toyota.
I think we all need to write Toyota and bug them until they do. We can even do a "Give Scotty a brand New Toyota of His Choice Petition"
Or give him the 2019 Supra and see how much he be screaming how u reliable it is in every video.
@@ConsciousRobot a brand new Toyota cilica
Conscious Robot
Because the one he has still works.
He has probably directly influenced thousands of their sales
I’ve had 2 4Runners and never had a single issue!!! The best SUV
I’ve had my 2005 V6 for over a year and it still runs great, 205k miles with no sign of stopping
I have a 2005 4 Runner, and I absolutely love it. The gas mileage is really the only downside.
That's why many in the globe choose turbo diesels.
I love the late 1990s-2000s models. My favorite body style of the Toyota’s and make great “cheap” rides
2010 SR5 4x4 with 165K miles. Still take it off-road and enjoy overlanding with my 4 year old son!
Thanks Scotty!
Got myself a 2019 TRD Pro 4Runner about 6 months ago and I just love it. Best vehicle I've ever owned hands down. Tough as nails, gets through anything. The day I bought it I took it to some fire breaks and got it bogged down in the sand and turtled it. Crawl control lifted it right out, no issue.
And yes SR5 pretty much just means 'the most basic of any Toyota model'.
SR5 used to be the top line model for Toyota back in the day.
Here’s why Scotty is making bank on UA-cam.
Love my 03 V8 4 runner. Not one problem in all those years of ownership.
Wow
I can proudly say the noise on the background is someone hammering his Fiat into metal sheets.
I had the original.
Real 4 wheel drive.
The last year with the removable top and just 2 doors. The roll bar saved my nephew's life when he hit black ice and it flipped over.
I have a 2016 4Runner and that baby runs like day 1
2016 is not even old lol especially in car terms
I actually just said that last week
Toyota 4runners are actual real suv
its the last of its kind these days! If its not a body on frame, its not an SUV
@@mbray10 it still has a suv body though. So half truck/suv.
Yea they’re great SUV’s also the one to start the SUV class with car that was in between a truck and a station wagon the 4Runners started the SUV category for cars
But you don't need it. My 09 Rav4 V6 can go almost anywhere a 4Runner can go and on regular roads my Rav is way faster. Feels bigger inside, too.
@@LORDRA1DEN you haul bro ?
I've spent some time on the "roads" of South Sudan and the Nuba Mountains of Sudan. You have three choices: (1) new Toyota 4Runner AWD (2) old Toyota 4Runner AWD (3) really old Toyota 4Runner 4WD.
Ken Grimm, Except for the old Jeeps, nothing has impressed me more than a 4WD 'Yota off road. Rode shotgun in a 4-Banger P'up. Felt like riding a squirrel.
@@roxyraccoon8856 I've had an '84 Toyota 4WD pickup in the States, loved the solid front axle. These were extremely popular in Africa, especially the crew-cabs. But then came Hilux independent front-end, which just cannot handle roads worse than a tracked-vehicle challenge course. The days when you could find a Jeep in Africa, or parts, have passed. So it is the 4Runner.
Kentucky Grimm, Good tip, thank you. My P'up is an '01. Heard how bullet-proof the 4 was but this had a 6, then they told me it was the Camry V6- we did a deal. It's got 244,000 on the clock now. I used it for some unimproved construction sites and for snow, of course but I actually like to leave the wildlife alone so, it's usually in RWD on a real road.
In Pakistan we drive old ones with added metal bars at the front. Everyone will salute you
You reminded me BTW, about the ride I got from a coworker in her 84, on the street. She spent time warning me because others had complained. I was ready for it in my '01 but mine was Glass smooth. There you have it. I prefer durability but a vocal majority want it all and where is the money made?
Ah, I miss the Mid 2000s 4Runner with the 4.7 V8, such a beast! Now I have a Tundra Platinum, love the thing! Hard on gas? Yep, but Still have a smile on my face, has never let me down
I think they should make a scotty Kilmer version,call it the sk5, with extra arm room of course, gotta love that mr. Scott.
Got 2 4runners 3gn and 4gen also 2010 taco so yeah best suv trucks made 👍🏽👍🏽

Whats the gas milage

@@GO-kg2dw isnt that expensive though
It is. But that’s why it’s my weekend car. I never really drive too much.
Scotty, I purchased a 2013 Toyota 4-Runner SR5 Premium (4 x 4) in 2017 with 46 K miles. It was previously owned by the parents of the sales manager. The sales manager is a friend and Mikey cut me a great deal. It has always been garaged and serviced at my Toyota dealership. I have all the service records. The blizzard pearl (white) is beautiful. It has never been off-road and in as close to 'show room' condition as you'll find a pre-owned vehicle. To close the deal, I had Mikey (sales manager) put it through the Toyota 160 point certification. It currently has 59 K miles and will be serviced next week (November 2023). I could continue on, but it's a dream to drive and it will most likely last past my lifetime. It is without a doubt, the best SUV I have ever owned.
Every time I see a 97-04 4runner for sale it seems to have 250k miles on it, with many of them having well over 300. That's insane, those 3.4s are incredible engines.

The gentlemen at the dealership told me they still service 4Runners from the early 1990s. The 4Runner is still expensive even when buying used.
No way! This is showing uploaded four hours ago (current) and at the same time I just purchased a 2020 4Runner “Venture”. I think i’m gonna be happy with my purchase - payments not so much...
Yep, SR5 means "Sports Rally 5-Speed".
We still have an SR5 model Hilux here in Australia.
"Back when a name meant something" then BJ Cummings. Hilarious. And sneaky.
Loved our 14 runner.. wrote it off two weeks ago and in 5 years of driving and 300 km it only cost me 16000 CND. Don’t forget resale.. unreal how much value they hold
Bought the 2006 new 4X4 sport V8. 200k mi no leaks no oil burning yet. Love it.

That’s an engine
I want the AWD hybrid Rav4 so I can camp out of it like I do my Prius. The battery keeps the interior at the set temperature and the ICE engine only starts to recharge the battery so you may use 1/2 gallon of gas a night on the coldest or hottest nights while you sleep inside in perfect temps. I won't get as good gas miles as the Prius but it has more room and ground clearance too.
Don't do that to yourself..... I bought a 2019 Rav4 hybrid. The thing had a lot of issues in its first 40,000kms they look great though. I now own a 4runner amd the rav4 I sold it a year ago.
My 1997 4runner with 280,000 miles is still the most reliable car I've ever owned. I had a Honda, Chevy suburban and multiple Subarus before the 4runner
I like the way Scotty now puts his name over his customer's number plate.
The early 90's 4 runners were the best. Good looks, reliable, durable, simple
I absolutely love my 2019 Limited. Longevity was first on my list.
Does drive smoothly ? Or you feel like you r in a upgraded pick up ? Noise ? Harshness ?
Great SUV. I have an 04 with 125k miles. Thing runs like a champ. The only expensive repairs I am facing is the replacement of the break booster.
I bought my forerunner recently at a Ford dealer, I absolutely love it. It’s a 2017 and the miles are low. It was actually owned by one of the two owners of the Ford dealership. Literally in brand new shape
Been a mechanic for thirty years and one thing I have to say is foreign car for me or no car 😉
Smart mechanic!
I would drive from Atlanta to Houston to have you work on my car, bro. Love the channel.

Just got a 2017 4Runner SR5 with 83000 miles $31,000 CDN New to me and I love it...Probably my last SUV...
My 2008 SR5 has 196,000 miles. Aside from regular maintenance, (tires and brakes) I’ve only replaced a dashboard light, the center console latch spring and the rubber cover to the back hatch switch. Best vehicle every! Especially when you’re paying child support.
Let me know if selling
Scotty is Toyota’s best salesman! I’m sold😂!
Decent off-road? That's one heck of under statement.
I had a 1990 efi 4 cylinder. The best SUV I've ever owned. It would go through almost any amount of snow. Hello from Ontario Canada

All 4Runners are built at the the Toyota Aichi Plant in Japan. They look very strong and well built just by looking at them. My mom is considering trading in her Dodge Journey for a brand new 4Runner.
My 05 is still a beauty. 274k and im still trying to see if i can run it down.
How is it riding now a year later ?
In my country, we have this glorious truck in manual
In my workplace we have a 2003 4runner with 330k miles and we have never never ever changed the transmission oil or engine parts. Its all original. Still it running like a clock. impresive
I used to have a 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4WD, great vehicle, got it in Nov 2004, the cooling system had issues when I got it, and despite my best efforts, I never got to the bottom of the problem, but somehow it kept going until Nov 2017, then I got a 2000 4Runner LTD 4WD with locking diff, an even better model, and I love it, it's got no cooling system issues, and only 187k miles now. (My old Runner got a pre-owned engine put into it, and is now serving someone else well). You just can't kill these things! Yes, sure they do have a couple of weak points, lower front ball joints need keeping a careful eye on, (only replace with Toyota OEM), and in Salty States, the chassis can rot out, fortunately I live on the dry left coast, but I have still put ATF into my chassis to help prevent rust), oh, and if you replace the water pump, ONLY use original OEM Toyota parts
I love how the 4Runners look. Nice looking cars! I'd like one in the future.
Buy used new ones cost too Damn much unless you hit the lottery jackpot then go for it. It'll never let you down.
MS Kewinyc the used one are like 3 grand cheaper than the new ones. Might as well buy new.
It’s so much fun. If you get one get the one with the sunroof you open all your windows it’s so awesome. He forgot to talk about the rear window that opens.
2019 4runner ..same as 2011 MY still does NOT have any driver assistance features not even blindspot monitoring. No factory remote start.
That's one of the reasons why they are so reliable. Check out the gadgets on a BMW, then check out what goes wrong with them.....
@@FATGOOFAS may as well get 1997 geo prizm. I agree with you but basic stuff like remote start is almost a must have especially in the north. At some point a vehicle becomes outdated. In 2022 fir example blind spot alert will be a legally mandated feature and Toyota is behind on technology overall. True reliability is when comparing apples to apples. A basic F150 would outlast any basic Toyota Tundra but a fully ky loaded F150 will be very unreliable from a technology stand point.
I've been looking at buying a Toyota 4runner and the only thing that's preventing my purchase is the lack of some nice to have convenience features.
My 2020 has the TSS with all that new stuff...just had to wait 1 year
Totally agreed.. I have had 4Runner for 8 years. All I had to do was change tires, Blake job and oil change. Only down side was tracking control.
I love my 5th Gen. it’s got 130000 miles on it and going strong. Although I would say it’s far from luxurious, really more utilitarian than luxurious but that’s what I like about it. Put the U back in SUV. Great off roaster especially with lift kit and KO2 or other off-road tires
Love my Lexus GX460 which is an upgraded 4Runner. V8 & 4WD. However lousy gas mileage
Bingo...
At 1:41 Scotty this thing was over "$40G" new nice one : )
Loved it....for the 9 years I owned it (2007) except for the original shock system and it’s OEM replacement cost. Ended up putting on Bilsteins and it was better then the original and much less expensive. Loved the V8 too!
I had a 1999 4Runner that I bought in 2007 until 2014, when I picked up 2011 4Runner. I still have the 2011 4Runner and it has 179k+ miles on it. replaced transmission fluid twice, timing chain once, all fluids replaced at correct intervals and synthetic oil changes every 10k miles. it's an everyday workhorse that I hope to have for some time longer. maybe one day to replace it with a newer 4Runner.
Hey, I knew BJ Cummings!
Thank you for this video Scotty!! I bought a 2011 from my daughter always factory serviced for $15,000 now has 85000 miles on the odometer.
That's low, my '97 has 310,000 miles.
The only real 4X4 manufacturer today.
My 2010 Trail model 4X4 is great. No plans to get rid of it anytime soon. 158k miles, only scheduled maintenance nothing has broken. Far cry from my Jeep Grand Cherokee where something broke every two months
