4Runner TRD now or Bronco later? Read the full review here: edmu.in/2BCqWTv

Unfair question since we're still guessing on many Bronco details. But, hey since we're guessing, I will definitely take the Coyote 5.0 Bronco that's gonna cost $15,000 over the 4Runner!
Still the Wrangler, Carlos. The new JL’s are actually pretty nice to drive, they’ve got better tech, much better fuel economy, great open air capability, and in terms of off road ability, nothing touches a Rubicon. Resale value is a wash. Maybe the new Bronco, we’ll see. 4Runner TRD Pro is now available in Green as Toyota’s way of reminding us they are printing money with this ancient drivetrain.
4runner hands down
If you want to own it for more than 5 years........4runner
My family has a 2003 4 runner that has been driven by a few of us. We love it. It's still running and has well over 300k miles on it. Change the oil and check the fluids and you're good.
The 4runner is awesome and not some watered down soccer mom SUV. Leave it alone Toyota, maybe add more power and more gears in the transmission like the 8 speed in the land cruiser. My 4runner is the best built vehicle I've ever owned
Give it a manual.
It truly is a tank.
Still no blind spot monitoring
Yeah baby!
I’m a proud 4runner owner and would still choose it over a Jeep Wrangler or anything else anyday. I just love everything about it and puts a smile on my face everyday I drive it as a daily driver yet off road it goes anywhere I want to go. The 4runner can do any kind of off roading but as an overlanding long trip off road vehicle it is perfect and where it truely shines along with some high speed trailing with those fox shocks.
The whole Arnie device was hilarious ! ("We all know that Van Damme was the dance of the era...")
Not to mention the 4runner will still be running long after the Kia telluride and the Fiat Wrangler have died.
How do you figure that? I've owned two Hyundai/ Kia products and both are/were dead solid, except after I got in an accident. Then after that, the Kia was filled with gremlins.
Plus no one will want a Kia telluride after you put miles on it with the 4 runner it will always be in demand and if I wanted a nicer off-road I would get the land cruiser
FCA is laughable but Kias have come a long way. I bet you'll see 200k mile tellurides if taken care of. Pretty sure you get the best factory warranty in the car industry today with them as well.
I still think the 4runner is better and own one. But Kia has been killing it recently.
@@iluvcakes19 Hyundai is a Honda gay brother 😂
I swear I feel like I need to sell my Toyota Corolla and buy one of these with all these damn potholes in the streets I feel like I’m off roading most of the time while heading to work 🤣
Might be dated but it’s the most reliable SUV/Truck in the market
*youll never have to buy another car again, its a toyota lol. only an apocalypse can stop it.*
4Runner's are one of the few Toyotas that are still made in Japan. Their QC is second to none. This makes the 4Runner one of the most reliable SUVs on the market. If you keep up with the oil changes, and transmission oil changes, they should last you for decades.
Nice to know that they still make actual 4X4’s! Thanks for both highlighting and reviewing the TRD Off-Road.
Woohoo Carlos! One of the best vehicle presenters!
Wish him luck to be the best presenter
@@professorgimsara2180 True, they haven't seen many others apparently.
very good and honest review. i own this same 4runner and can agree with every positive and negative comment that was said
Don't. Ever. Put. Dodge. And Toyota. In the same sentence!
I had to dodge the terrible driver behind the wheel of his 4Runner.
Maxima this sentence is ok
Toyotas tow Dodges to the junk yard???
"Survey said".....
Can't wait to see the '21 Lunar Rock in person...Great review!
Why the color looks like Primer
Hoping Carlos reviews the Bronco.
I want one 4runner
all !Carlos, all the time ❤️
Yes; Between Carlos Lago, Brian Cooley, Jason Cammisa, Johnny Lieberman.. These guys guys leave a lasting impression from a vehicle enthusiast point of view, that if they all got together to do a show? IT would be the equivalent of Top Gear UK in the early '00(Yes when they all got along, without being cringy(ey), the first few seasons of the show). At least that's my take on it..
I would compromise MPG for the drivetrain in the 4Runner - it's bulletproof. I mean, it would be nice if Toyota made it at least a 6spd, but it's still great as it is.
You'd just be adding an overdrive gear right? I think the oldschool 5 spd with the 4.0 really fits this truck.
Heard that 5 spd is annoying when towing
ooooohhh, you've got the 4Runner shaking in its boots with the Bronco coming to market. Yet, your review synopsis is that the 4Runner is tried and proven. No rattling off road, priceless.
anyone else keep hearing him say "foreigner" instead of 4Runner? lol
Yes, I'll take a 4runner please! Can't wait for the ride! Especially with so much junk in the trunk!
Yeah, foreigner. Definitely foreigner. Not to be confused with Foreigner.
I wanna feel what love is Carlos
Four in her
A lot of people say it that way unfortunately. Sofyan Bey from "Redline Reviews" is another Guilty party.. lol
Why would anyone consider a Kia Telluride over a 4runner TRD Pro? Lol seriously?
Soccer moms
Telluride is a van with a slight lift kit lol
we need a 4Runner to Nissan xterra comparison. As an xterra owner I think the 4runner is the best option for size and capability if I upgrade, but as mine is a 2011, would love to see a comparison/spec option for buying guide.
People shopping 4 runner aren’t cross shopping with a Kia telluride
Nice my dad Is getting one
Toyota GIVE US A DIESEL in these things!!
Or the 4.7L V8
The gx470 has a 4.7 V8 😆
Anonymous exactly! It already fits
Anonymous so did the 4Runner in the 4th gen.
Why would you want that engine? Heavier and very little power gain. Also less reliable
@@shrayesraman5192 in what world??
I think Carlo’s would like one of these in his driveway.
Great job by Carlos but way too many ads.
Difference between the Toyota and the Jeep, you just have to know how to drive the Toyota, you have to be a mechanic to drive the Jeep because it's going to have moster problems.
My wife has a 016 durango and i have 015 runner comparing the 2 durango is more responsive in acceleration smooth and balance driving good braking good mileage.
I know I’m old school.. dad restored over 30 Corvettes alone + many other cars.. my first car was 4 speed ‘67 Camaro.. I just don’t get the annoyance with ‘only’ 5 gears. I’m more annoyed with more gears .. shifting just as often it seems. I love my Runner.
8:12 why is that sign riddled with bullet holes?
I want to buy a 4runner and make it my apocalypse vehicle
Still cruising in my 3rd gen 4runner
Thing needs Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T tires.
The Jeep & Braco are nice but the 4runner will be roaming the earth long after society falls 😁
Arnie needs to be in every review now.
He is right. The Bronco is badazzz.
Good article, but he didn’t mention resale,reliability..... when comparing the 4 runner to the Jeep. A Toyota product will always win.
A lot of comparisons with jeep. Let's not forget both hold their value but the reliability of the 4 runner destroys the breakdown of a Chrysler product. I've owned both. Sad but true
Bronco is def gonna shake things up a bit. Excited for it.
Plus it's a Toyota so the reliability appeal cannot be ignored vs the competition.
Carlos Largo!
Did you miss out the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawke intentionally in the comparisons?
Bronco unveiled world did not change
Should be noted the suspension on the off road is the same as the SR5 models. It's soft as butter. I changed the shocks for stiffer bilsteins, and it greatly improved the boat-like handling.
So what are the 4Runner alternatives? He said it's not the Telluride. So it's the Bronco and Wrangler only??? I think they forgot to include a segment
Yea pretty much, they are the only two mid sized body on frame SUVs everything else is a crossover or is a large SUV
Hello, I have a 2018 4runner Limited. a few months later, I noticed my front bumper kept clipping off. I advised Toyota Gabriel in St-Laurent and they insisted that I somehow hit my bumper in a snow bank and the reason why its un-clipping. Funny thing is I could clip it back on, it just un-clips once I start driving. After months of me complaining and having to use a lawyer to settle the issue for principle, the dealer finally advised me that it was a clip issue and they will replace the clips and fix it. They fixed it once, problem occurred again, fixed it a 2nd time, again same problem afterwards. They tried a 3rd time, changed the bumper again, tried gluing the bumper parts, and again the bumper kept un-clipping. I forwarded the issue again to the director at Toyota Gabriel and haven't heard back from them.
Now I realized my steering wheel was peeling away!! This is a 2018 Toyota 4runner Limited, and 2 years after, leather is peeling off??? So I contacted my dealer, I was under 50k kms and under 3 years and they told me its not covered. They said I used products I shouldn't or scratched it myself. I don't use products on my leather, I don't use armoral on my steering wheel! Its peeling all over. They said maybe its the sun and they are not responsible for environmental causing defects!!?? I then called Toyota Canada, spoke with Steven (he didn't want to give me his employee # or last name) and said the same thing. How can someone spend over 60k on an SUV and have these issues? Bumper detaching and steering wheel peeling is not normal under 3 years. Steven from Toyota Canada was rude and didn't want to escalate the issue. Basically blamed me for the issues and didn't want to help. I've always wanted a Toyota 4 runner, thought they were great vehicles, but it didn't take much to realize that they are cutting corners with employee training and parts because it is really unacceptable. I will also not let this go for principle. Lets start from hear, hopefully someone will help and get this resolved. I've also realized that these problems are happening to other owners and its causing lots of frustration for others. I've wasted many days trying to resolve the issues, a class action suit should be filed. How a company could blame a customer for defects blows my mind. Just to add, a week after I had the truck, I pulled on the trunk cover and the handle came off! Toyota said its not their fault. I glued it back, end of story but wow, Toyota should really start looking into their quality control because it's not looking good. I still love my truck, but these issues should be taken care of and if not, well that's it for Toyota, not worth the aggravation.
How much is it ?!?
If it only made a better MPG 🥺.
My dads 1997 4Runner he got brand new is still trucking and it’s now in Central America enduring the jungles lol 😂 same motor and transmission
Don’t understand why toyota updated the 2020 4runner with the older toyota safety sense, when the newer improved 2.0 version came out the same year.
35 ads later...
Lol yup!
@TCL who wants to do that?
Get UA-cam premium you deadbeat.
@@YasssStitch Oh did you take offence to that comment. Lmao…What kind of loser responds to a 10 month old comment?! FYI I’ve found a free alternative. 😛
This thing is built like a tank can’t stop a Toyota
He forgot to mention, when comparing the 4runnr to the Wrangler, that a Toyota will give you 300,000 of nearly maintenance free miles while a Fiat Wrangler will start failing as soon as the warranty expires
For phone, pull out rubber from front cup holder & big honkin’ iPhone fits too down. I do it daily.
What's a turnkey product?
Something that you can purchase reliably and have up and running from the get go. No extra effort.
The 2 reasons to buy the 4Runner is that resale value is good and it can get 200k miles with no problems.
This is the kind of car for the guy that has a multi cam AR-15, despite the fact that he lives in the suburbs and he only shoots his rifle at the local indoor shooting range.
If that sounds like you, this is the perfect vehicle for you.
Why can’t Toyota add the 8-speed from the LC 200 in this?
Because Toyota doesn’t have to in order to sell them. Simple as that.
Greg Weik well said man, people don’t seem to understand that about Toyota. While most car makers compete on stuffing useless features to sell their cars, Toyota in my opinion offers alternatives. This 4 runner is a clear example of that.
4runner reliability un beatable period
Why couldn't this be part the Police Fleet instead of Explorer
put a V8 in that boi add some gears , and we good for life
Personally can't wait for the Bronco!
For the price of the TRD Pro, a supercharger should be standard equipment. I love the body style and interior of the current 4runner, all it needs is a better tranny and engine.
4Runner a real suv
Had a 4Runner 25+ years ago. This one doesn't really seem very different. Except of course for Apple Car Play
Lol solid axles NEVER have better articulation, but they are vastly stronger due to the lack of CV Joints.
If you want nice off road than the 4 runner you go for the land cruiser not the Kia telluride
I think you missed the boat by not comparing it against the Jeep Grand Cherokee. While not body on frame, I crossed shopped the 4Runner against the Jeep GC and went with the Jeep. It offers all of the off road capability (especially the Trailhawk version) better on road comfort, economy and performance. Finally, it's cheaper, comes with a V8 and even the 3.6 is very good with the awesome ZF 8 Speed. That being said, still I kept my 2006 4Runner with the 4.7 because that's the best 4Runner ever made.
Ooooh.... that's the V8 4Runner isn't it. Yes, very nice.
@@Kmancanada Yes. Yes it is. Not selling that one.
Can we review the 4Runner MOLD LITIGATION
You sir would have an epic mustache! Get rid of the beard, mustache!
Sheesh Kia is no contest. Not even would drive it if given for free....okay well I'd sell it then get a 4Runner haha. We are suppose to get a TRD PRO next week. Just waiting for it to ship from factory or somewhere.
4Runner 4Ever
I can’t believe they have gotten away with selling these at $40k for so long
Why they run start on the Key ? You want a cheap Dodge ? Jeep go ahead you will be spending huge coin in repairs Bills ..
Lmao the replies are absolutely retarded
I will take a 4Runner over 3 Broncos & 3 jeeps combined.
You will need six of them to keep up with a 4Runner. With the amount of recalls , broken transmission and all kinds of leaks you will be better off with a 4Runner. Build to last and no gimmicks.
For the love of God, can we please stop the commercials.
Thats why i see used based 4runners with 120k for 15k less than new...because they last 250k miles. I prefer less gadgets, less electronics...just more to fix when they break
SWAY BAR! Jesus
Kia. "Killed in action"
Where professionalism is concerned, I understand why you did(Or didn't) but, you failed to mention why you wouldn't want to get the Jeep/FCA product over the Toyota 4Runner, Since that is what you kept comparing it to. What I mean is "Reliability." Although, Everyone by now, or everyone in the off-roading community knows that even though The Jeep product is a little more capable than the 4Runner(Due to its Solid Front Axle, the disconnecting sway bars, and the front locking diff, all of which you did mention), It's the reliability Factor that has everyone questioning the Jeep at the end of the day, or TRAIL...
Shouldn’t the tag line be “tired and true?”
This makes me want one again. However, you didn't make any mention of the price, which is eye-watering, and makes it harder to plunk down real cash for one.
Re-watch 1:26. The 4Runner TRD Off-Road is certainly the better buy, but it's tragic you can't get that one in Army Green.
need one before toyota changes everything to 4 cy and a battery =(.......
only one thing is missing this car. and this one thing is a critical and deal-breaker. this is one thing is - diesel option. come on guys you must add it.
Not enough can be said about just how incredibly outdated the powertrain is in this vehicle. A 4.0L V6 + 5-speed automatic that get terrible fuel economy AND have problems getting the vehicle moving in 2020 is tragic. It took Toyota two decades to put proper headlights in a $50k SUV now that the 2021 model is finally getting LED headlights. There's something to be said for simplicity, but they've crossed from simplicity into complacency. Before Toyota/4Runner fans jump down my throat please note that I owned one for almost 2 years.
It’s a 12 year old platform at this point. With a power train that was put together 20 years ago!
Toyota needs to update STAT! Almost every other manufacturer is going threw a Top Down overhaul right now. Yet Toyota is just thinking their vehicles are good enough
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The 4Runner and the Land Cruiser are sold globally. In many of these global markets the infrastructure requires a reliable and robust vehicle that has legit off road chops. In these markets these two vehicles are actually used for their intended off road purpose and not to go to suburban parking lots.
At this point the 4Runner is aimed specifically for that one person that values reliability and simplicity over modern tech.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, the sales of the 4runner especially the trd pro has always been consistent. Toyota is milking its cow till its dry.
I appreciate the 4Runner for what it retains. I like that the choices people have encompass almost every desire, so if you want something tech forward there are vehicles for you, and if you appreciate some more old school offerings this has that niche filled too.
This would be my top choice if it was a diesel.
They really fucked up when they dropped the V8. My 2008 4R V8 gets 20 mpg
I throw my money at Toyota if they put the 8speeds in this.
Love the 4Runner ! Toyota please don’t turn it into a soccer mom svu
They already have the Highlander or the Sequoia for soccer moms.
Smoke Stack I understand
I didn't get anything about price
where is the diesel.....
NO OFFENSE, BUT HE LOOKS LIKE CHRIS WATTS, GUYS !!!! :))
Problem lately with Toyota is they give you juuust enough year after year to peak your interest. They're banking on their reputation of quality and dependability to sell you a vehicle. Proof of that is they are 5+ years late in offering Apple Carplay or Android Auto. Yet, they're still using a 5 speed automatic, minimal design changes, and an engine that hasn't been upgraded since Fred Wilma, Barney, Betty, Pebbles and Bam-Bam went to a drive-in movie.
Toyota sitting on there laurels? Um so you must have not seen modern Honda’s because that’s a real manufacturer that’s actually sitting on there reputation, stop accusing Toyota of sitting on there laurels, if they were sitting on there laurels, there quality and reliability would go way downhill just like Honda, I don’t know why people always bag on Toyota for small things but not Honda, I don’t know why people don’t say Honda is sitting on there laurels, but they accuse Toyota of “sitting on there laurels”
I’m stuck between Tacoma and 4 runner....
Same
4Runner. Tacoma is made in Mexico.
I saw this comment that said, “best to get access cab LB in Tacoma. If you’re getting a short bed Tacoma, go for a 4 runner. If your going for a LB doubke cab Tacoma, get a Tundra.” I Agee. That short bed Tacoma looks great, but is awkward and near useless.
NRGRX will be getting the 4Runner as soon as I’m back in the country
@@CaliSteve169 its a Toyota, it doesn’t matter were it’s built, it’s always built tough, i rather have a made in Mexico Toyota than a made in japan Nissan or Mitsubishi
4.0 liters and it’s making less than 300hp!? Most V6 are way smaller and produce similar power
And how long do those other engines last?
Alan Bowers 2.7 ecoboost makes 360+hp with better gas milage and is one of the most reliable engines on the market.
@@devinbender8428 which variant of the 2.7 makes 360+ from the factory? And sure it gets better fuel economy, but I dont think you'll win an argument regarding reliability and longevity compared to the 1GR. And this coming from someone who loves the EB lineup and owns a Focus ST.
I couldn't finish this video, just too many commercials.
WAY TOO MANY ADS. HOLY FOCK. Had to stop watching after second round and not even a third of the way through video.
Nobody contains Arnie
Stop saying foreigner and it would be a great video
