- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- 4H 5th Generation 4Runner TRD ORP demo during the first snow storm of 2024. with stock AT20 Dunlop factory tires. There is no more a capable vehicle as the Toyota 4Runner at such a high quality level. We demonstrate 4H and how affective it is in winter storm conditions on hills, avoiding traffic jams, on unplowed roads. 4Runners come to life in bad weather, and this video fully proves it.
Enjoy!

TRD Pro owner here. Can confirm: The worse it is outside, the more it feels at home.
Right on 👍
I absolutely love the Lunar Rock color as well as the Calvary Blue! Excellent video
Thank you
Thanks so much!
This is the reason why I choose the 4runner. I don't care about fuel economy or the engine performance as long as it brings me home safe. Thanks for this video man! Drive safe
👍 ODTRP 😊
Great video! I used to lease cars constantly in order to find the right one. I bought my, Mary Beth, new in 2016. She is a Trail Premium, which is the same as the TRD Off Road starting in 2017. I live on a hill in New England, so I immediately put BF Goodrich KO2 tires on her, as I have major back problems, and can't shovel snow anymore. 8 years later, this gal hasn't had any problems, and still has no squeaks or rattles. She is the best car I've ever had. I'm 67, and have had more that 70 cars.
Nice name 😊
Right on again, ours is turn 2 years old soon, no squeaks, no rattles made perfect
So lucky you guys have a 4 runner , that SUV is my dream car , awesome choice !!!🙌
Thank you, we hope you are blessed and can get one 5th Gen this year before they are gone
Hopefully I get a used one if I do there’s lots here in Canada 🇨🇦 where I live
Nice video; I like videos showing 4Runner capabilities in snow. Bought our 2016 4Runner new; best purchase we've ever made. No issues at 157K; change fluids, filters, tires, brakes, spark plugs, and it just keeps going. I've been in 12 inch snows with no issues; running Toyo Open Country AT3's for past 50K; great tire. We will see what 6th Gen brings!
Right on, thank you 😊 😊
I have a 2024 off road premium in underground grey and I have fallen In love with it.
Hey Terry... Great Video!👍 Real Time, Proof Positive, 4Runner "Comes Alive..."
(I just "asked" the Camero driver... Hah!)
I'm the "Lucky Guy" that just bought the TRD Pro... I'm using your video to show my Wife and Daughter the driving capabilities of the 4Runner... and what to expect, "This is what Lake Tahoe will look like... when we're trying to go back home to San Francisco after skiing the weekend..."
By the way... California Highway Patrol (CHP) would definitely Close the Road
with those kind of road conditions...
Mandatory tire chains tooo... except
4wheel drives like Our 4Runners...
"When They Come Alive...!" San Francisco Chinatown to South Lake Tahoe, 376mi. round trip... approx. 60mi. round trip, possible snowy conditions... 4x4 w/o snow tires, chains required.
Happy Trails...!
Gung Fu Cowboy
San Francisco Chinatown
Right on Gung Fo Cowboy 🤠 👍😎 our only recommendation is to run 89 octane for the fuel economy numb. Thank you for your kind words, great to have you here and have your enthusiasm/ encouragement. Save travels to Taho Terry Piper Theresa ODTRP
Took my 2016 Limited out in this with normal tires.... like a dream!
👍
4R lunar looks awesome in the snow! Have a 21 lunar TRD pro. The best!
My Ford Fusion gets around fine in that weather. I know 4 Runners are capable but this was rather anticlimactic.
Our Pinto is great in the snow gets very warm when rear ended
@@OnDownTheRoadProductions I could ride my bike in that snow and it’s faster than your Pinto so there
@@OnDownTheRoadProductionswhy are you getting salty? He's 100% correct....there are sedans making it through these slush covered roads as evident in your video 😂 You're talking this thing up like you're filming while driving off road in a foot of snow. A fwd with quality snow tires will make it through a decent snow storm. Don't get your ego hurt so bad next time someone calls out the facts in your video.
I took mine out early morning 2nd day of the storm before the plows started. You nailed it this car does "come alive" in this weather and tears through everything and stays steady. I have original all seasons(not snow tires) and it was still a beast(all in 4H of course). None of the other cars could compete and there were plenty of spin outs on the side of the road and having difficulty staying in a straight line. I love this "bank vault" of a truck. Fun video thanks
My eyes were wincing from the storm ⛈️ nailing my glasses and eyes at the video start lol. Thank you 😊 Edgie for your enthusiasm and kind video feedback👍😎. Great to have you and your support. You are correct pound for pound dollar for dollar 💵 there is nothing more versatile or capable than a 5th Gen 4Runner unless you grab a military vehicle lol. Cannot believe sometimes the push back on the Dunlop AT20 tires balanced with the best 4X4 system available this side of the moon. Be safe, go 4Runners 😊 Best Terry ODTRP
I have a 2020 ORP since 2021 with a lift and tires. I live in the south and got our snowstorm about 5" couple weeks ago. The first time i got to use the 4runner in snow, drove like a Cadillac 😎. Only problem I had was my windshield washer fluid froze 😮. It got down around 10 degrees which is rare for us to get that cold even though it got colder. I had all season fluid that was good till 0 degree before freezing as it said on the bottle. This was Prestone brand. They lied, it was froze at 10 degrees. You talk about nervous for reservoir tank cracked or pump but all was good once thawed. I'm switching to -34 once I get this fluid out 😉
All you need is one bad experience in the snow to really start looking for a capable vehicle. This happened to me back in 2014 when I had my 2010 Mazda 6 and kept getting stuck in the snow on the way back home from work. I've had my 2016 4Runner Trail since June 2017 and it really shines in this type of weather. 188.5K miles and I have no regrets with my purchase. And yes, I too never cared about fuel economy haha. I'm keeping this bad boy till the wheels fall off. Well, probably frame rust is what will do my 4Runner in 🫠
On fuel economy it is only one part of the Total Ownership Cost of a vehicle. There are things we can do to increase 4Runner fuel economy like a TRD CAI, better octane, etc. you get it all back in resale, long life, no recalls
Glad to see you're excited about your 4Runner, but this was like maybe 2 inches of snow. Every other car on the road also goes right through it easily. Make sure to powerwash your frame after driving on salted roads to avoid frame rot. I traded both of my 4Runners in because they both developed rusty frames that started to rot out.
2019 forward Toyota increased frame protection. Am not going to defend the weather.
@@OnDownTheRoadProductions II true, it's not working. My cousin has a 2020 4Runner and his is already very rusty underneath. It starts as surface rust and gets worse and worse until the frame eventually rots out. There's a video out focusing on the new Tacoma and that Toyota went to great lengths to mitigate frame rust by eliminate pockets and moisture traps in the frame as well as better protection on the metal itself. So there's hope for the upcoming 6th generation 4Runner if it does in fact use the Tacoma's upgraded frame. But for the current 4Runners, they are still a mess and that's exactly what made me stop buying 4Runners.
Love your video. Saving for a TRD off road. Hopefully soon.
Best of luck the time is now for a 2024 5th Gen we will say our prayers John.
Bought a 2023 4Runner TRD ORP October 2023. Got rid of the Bridgestone Dueller HT tires, replaced all halogen bulbs with LED bulbs. We had our first 4 inch snowfall yesterday and it handled our errands with no issues. The KDSS is a big improvement over the 2016 SR5 Premium we traded. Thank you for your review. Cheers!
Right on 👍 thanks wishing we had KDSS in our 4Runner we do have it in our GX460. Congratulations on a great purchase ODTRP
Good point about cost of ownership!
Indeed thank you 😊
Had some good amount of snowfall this past week in Toronto, took my 19 Limited out. An absolute beast for performance in such weather, but I definitely recommend getting some proper winter tires for extra control. ABS really works and helps in the snow with stopping, mostly due to my car being on all seasons. If you’re getting a 4Runner, make sure to have some proper tires too
Our point is that the stock tires perform above expectations
I agree in those weather conditions you should be running proper winter tires. This vid gives people a false sence of security.
The stock tires on my 2023 Limited are all seasons and they look like tires for a normal car. When they wear out I will buy some tires with more muscle in them.
I like this color in the snow ❄️👍🤪🏳️🌈
We do as well, it changes from green to grey and sometimes looks blue.
Mine is red, so it just stays….red. 😵💫
I only buy 4x4 s Envoys 23 years now a 4Runner because I live in Canada......
😎
Well . . . . . . I don't take my 2 - 4x4's out off roading. I know I can off road but have no interest in testing my vehicles. However . . . when inclamited weather arrives suddenly without warning I want the ability to "wade in deep water", "hop over the curb to drive around trouble", "do donuts in our cup-de-sac", "drive through heavy snow", " drive thru muddy terrain" anything out of the ordinary that can use 4x4 assistance. Love my wife's 4Runner and my FJ.
Right on Breeze! We owned 2 FJs and regret selling our first. Calvary Blue, White roof, no roof rack and the twelve speaker stereo system. We do plan on future Overlanding and will get a tent on the roof.
Have a 4th Gen 2008 SR5 and a 5th Gen 2023 Limited. I Love 4Runners but don't want to drive the 2023 Limited in the Crap Weather so I kept the 2008 SR5 for that reason.
Great use of the 2008 SR5 should be one of our Top Tips LOL. Congrats on your new Limited, a super wise purchase decision
😄l love Texas
Sure, especially Eagle Pass
Oh please!
Get a 4Runner Dude
We got hit with that midwest blizzard a few weeks ago and we took the 4R out snow wheeling and I was impressed.. i was driving through 6-7 inches of fresh damp snow going over 40 mph with no issues.. Id be at an intersection and gun it from a full stop and it didnt even slip. Shes a beast.
Liked and subd 👍
Right on Thank you! ODTRP
I live in the Hill country of Texas. My 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD OR was brand new when the 2021 Polar vortex hit. We lost power but I had a generator but need fuel so every day I had to trip into town to find fuel. Tacoma did great. The 4Runner is a beast and a must buy. Be safe
Thank you Scott be safe out there in Texas hill country.
The 2024 Landcruiser is coming out. That should be interesting also
It will be indeed, yet with starting prices close to 60K and a turbo 4 the jury is out.
I'm an owner of a 2010 Tacoma 4x2 PreRunner and I was caught in a similar storm on Jan. 16th in Utah. My truck has always done well but it definitely took some creative driving on my end to keep things moving and safe. Needless-to-say, I was uncomfortable and decided it was time for a change. Therefore I just ordered a 2024 4Runner ORP in the new Underground. LFG!
Congratulations 🎊 on a wise purchase decision. That Pre Runner still sounded truly cool.
I have a 2022 ORP with many custom upgrades. I drove from NY to the Smoky mountains in Tenn. It was tropical storm type weather the whole ride. Not one issue in my 4 Runner cut through that storm like butter.
That was an epic journey indeed. Ours is a 2022 ORP as well. We are actually looking forward to motorcycling the Tennessee Smokey Mountains one day. The 4Runner has amazing capability.
Great video. All you said about the 4Runner is so true. I have a 2007 4Runner with 167,537 miles on it and I have a 2019 4Runner with 43,000 miles. It's great in the snow and I also drive them on the beach. They are amazing. Thanks for your video !
Thank you 😊 very much! You own a few great 4Runners well done
He said “ Wincing” definitely an off roader dude.
How long do you plan on keeping your rig? I've watched quite a few of your videos but I can't remember if you talked about undercoatings at all. I have done Fluid Film on my rig since brand new have no rust. Much like Michigan, Wisconsin winters can be brutal. We just got about 17 inches of snow in my area.
This is a keeper, I saw the snow you got on the Waupaca Rail cam. It’s a keeper for life, 5th Gen 4Runners will go down in history as one of the greatest trucks ever made. Pretty sure 2024 is it. We have a video covering fluid flem called rust concerns. Great move on your rig to keep it rust free. Thanks Ian great to have your support and enthusiasm here. We are planning a Waupaca visit too. Best, ODTRP
The problem i had in WI was finding a shop that did lanolin under coatings. Thankfully asking around a few local garages gave me a contact of a small business that didn't come up on a google search.
Awesome! I used to live in snow regions, so this brought back memories! No snow where I live now, but I still love the 4Runner!
Hello! 👋 been awhile 😀
10,000 miles is nothing 😂. I have 210,000 miles on mine. Awesome cars
👍
It’s funny how “that’s a lot of snow” varies by location. That is a dusting. None of that is a comment on the TRDOP, which I also own and love.
There is no better vehicle than a 4Runner for snow days
In the winter always put 4 bags of 50 LBs of salts on your trunk or keep the rear heavy when the roads are freezing and slippery you can use the salts on the roads too
Good advice for cars
How fast can you go leaving it in 4H?
55 mph
10K miles? THAT truck isn't -- or rather won't be broken in til it hits at least 100K... that's just a good warmup!!
Right On David :-)
I have you beat, I have a 2020 ORP with 14900 miles 🤣🤣🤣
Hmmm thats not a snow storm….
I was in the blizzard in chicago last Friday.. Jan. 12. 24,, At 4 30 am… no snow plows.. winds blowing.. cant see the road.. country roads …i put the snow mode on my VW atlas.. worst than what u drove here.. But.. anyway…. I know the 4 runners are great!@ I am waiting for the next gen 4runner myself,,, thanks for the video!..
It was the start of a storm here
Recently drove my son back to college during a snow storm in the 4Runner. It went 354 miles round trip with no issues whatsoever. The only other cars out there seemed to be full size pickups. Most F series.
I would guess it was the same day you filmed this. Though we didn't go all the way to Rochester. His school is in Albany.
Are you saying this has a better 4wD system then say a jeep or Tahoe etc
yes
Nice. I've driven the 4Runner (21 Venture), the Sequoia (19 Plat) and two different Tacomas (2nd Gen and 3rd Gen) in snow -- mostly on stock or mild all terrain 3 peak tires. In all cases, the 4Runner felt more planted, event with a load in the back of the Tacomas. The Sequoia was a close second. If you have a 4Runner and see this, don't trade it in, just keep it. If you are thinking about buying one, get one and match the tires to your needs. I miss mine enough to go buy another one, probably.
Now is the time to secure a new 5th, all indications say 2024 is the final year. Great feedback on the other trucks, thank you
A motorcycle wouldn't have issues in that dusting
Lol
I have a 22 sr5 4x4. I drove on an untreated dirt road after it snowed 6-8 inches and thing is a tank. The stock tires kind of sucked(replaced at 34k). They were good on road but pretty bad in weather or offroad. I got cooper discoverer all terrain on road(great tire). Not overly expensive. I looked into the bf goodrich and good years. My local tire shop guy who I graduated High school with is heavily into off roading. Told me I was wasting my money and these are perfect for your situation. He was right!
Great perspective. We are going with raised white letter Mickey Thompson
Hello from central OH! Love your 4Runner videos! One thing I haven’t seen anyone mention in their 4Runner videos is payload capacity. I don’t tow but I do have my vehicles loaded with people and gear, or landscaping supplies, a few times a year. What is the TRD ORP’s payload capacity? Do you think it’s the same, more, or less than an SR5 Premium? I know I can go to a dealership and look at door stickers for that info., but then I will have a dealership hounding me to buy one and I am still about 2 months away from that point right now. Thanks!
Thank you Matt! We appreciate you👍. Just woke up and will come back with numbers. All 4Runners should be the same as their drive times and chassis are identical. Your purchase timing is right on given the Mexico made 6th Gen Tacoma 4Runner coming. I will reply again to this today with numbers. Best Terry
Payload on 4Runners is pitiful around 880 I think. Enough for passengers and regular cargo but not great for towing. Load it down with people and overland racks and rtts and you’ll feel it.
@theoutdoordad7395 I second that. Idk the official numbers but I know the feel!! Towing gets much worse with a lift, 33” tires, no regear, loaded down with passengers and gear!! Just don’t even bother LOL
Test driving the Honda Goldwing in the storm would definitely be more interesting 😂. Just kidding. 😊 I put BFG KO2’s stock size on my 2023 TRD 4 Runner Off Road Premium it’s unstoppable. What idiot drives a Camaro in a blizzard? lol 😂
Unreal on the Camaro Roadglide 😂. We are one step ahead of you, just waiting for the 50 MPH winds and more ice 😅 the GOLDWING is already idling lol. The KO2’s make it even better nice. We are doing Mickey Thompson raised white letter off road tires maybe this year.
90,000 miles on my 2017. The only issue I have had was the front doors lock actuator stopped working. There’s several videos on here that show step by step how to replace the little motor inside the actuator. For $13 bucks I had both actuators fixed.
Thank you 😊 for the actuator tip Justin
So the 4wd works.
Better than most
I'm ignorant to snow so please forgive me for asking a stupid question. How do you clean your 4runner after driving over treated snow on the road (salt)? Do you spray an undercoating or do a washout when you get home?
Owner Rust Concerns 5th Gen 4Runners #automobile #auto #automotive #trend #truck #rust #trending
ua-cam.com/video/Th9XIHIm410/v-deo.html
Pressure Wash it before the third day after otherwise once start becoming hard ice stock to surface and melting by it self it's the salt trying to make traction with the uncoated surface and component
We live in Ohio salt is extreme over 14 years we moved from California i started the experiment with a cheap Junk a ford explorer's noticed over the time not rust was coming out once I stop from leaving them melt but it self to when I start washing the car every 3 days every time I hit the road while is winter and had ice road or snow
Gonna need another polish after scraping the snow off the paint with a brush.
We polish yearly, and if you note I was very light handed. What idiot scratches their vehicle???
Unfortunately, if a person keeps driving the bank vault in the salt, it becomes swiss cheese, i wish they would just start sanding in winter & let us use studded tires in winter like they do in alaska.
I will have my 24 trd off road premium soon
We are in a northern state and do not drive in salt all the time if at all possible
driving in the city while its snowing is not plowing through a snow storm. TRD is great but so is my Jeep
Most Jeeps have adequate 4x4 systems
No one says Jeeps aren’t capable 4wd vehicles, but they have horrible reliability issues.
@@mkim2799 The 3.6 V6 is bad, the 4cyclinders are worse. Jeeps are capable of getting drivers stranded
Awesome video!
Can’t wait to off road it
Always loved Toyota trucks. Bought a Brand New V8 4Runner Limited in 2005 and thought it would be my forever vehicle but there actually wasn’t enough head room for me, my head bumped the frame around the sunroof and there was a wheel vibration that they couldn’t correct. All that combined with the low mpg and I sold it in 2010. I did have a little fun with it like you are here. I really wished it would have worked out. I’ve since moved on to Acura vehicles. For the most part I see the styling of the 4Runner hasn’t changed much in 19 years, just updated tech.
Shout out to the Sun Fusion FJ Cruiser @7:07 !!!!✊🏽👊🏽
Right on 👍 have the best day Kung Pao ODTRP
Do the seats soften up over time? We test drove one and didnt buy one because we hated the seat bottoms being very firm and the odd seat angle.
Did you try to adjust the seat angle, it is adjustable. Did agree on the firm bottoms given all the adjustments that can be made.
My local dealer only had new limited models maybe it was because of the ventilated seats. I tried a 5 year old SR5 w/cloth seats and it was fine. But yes the issue was with the seat bottom.
put winter tires on it... it will be like a video game cheat!
Rough conditions with all the cars driving on the roads
@@EasyE865 that’s true
Thank so much for the great video. Aim High!
Thank you!😊
Great video💈 We want to see the Lexus in the snow ❄️
Could be later today👍😎 thanks ODTRP
Damn I just wish I had $52,000
But I would prefer a Pro if im doing it I want to really do it.
So that makes it around $65,000
No right now a TRD Pro is 53-55
Great video! How would you rate this tank in snow compared to an AWD suv?
On a scale of 1-10 15. Thanks Lane
@@OnDownTheRoadProductions Thank you! Also, which drive mode were you using in the video (High 4)?
Does the 4Runner have a 4W-Auto mode? Just curious as that's what I use most in my Yukon when in inclement weather, unless the roads are covered completely under a several inches of snow and/or ice.
Not that we are aware of, it takes one second to shift manually into 4H.
Did you change the wheels to Trd Pro or did it come stock?
Came with
@@OnDownTheRoadProductions did you buy her new?
Absolutely
What kind of tires? Blizzaks? There are places where if you do not clean snow off your vehicle properly, you will get a ticket.
Stock tires Dunlop GrandTrek AT20s the truck had from the factory.
My BRZ could do this amount of snow with ease
Spin like the Camaro, yep
@@OnDownTheRoadProductionsjust drove my 23 BRZ through a foot of snow in this last storm we had here in CT. It was a blast and surprised me. Passed a stuck wrangler.
Snow tires are a must for real winter storm driving. This so-called storm is a dusting compared to what I drive in.
This was about the stock tires still being very capable
Are kidding there is barely a few inches unworthy for f the 4 Runner spectacles. First Michigan is not a state with much snow I lived there .
Next please !
You seriously want to argue Michigan weather ROFLMAO please take it to the weather channel.com
Just hit 100k on my 13 SR5
Right on!
I’m in Utah I feel this
Right on Brandon 👍😎
Have a 22 sr5 premium 4x4 myself with the stock tires on her. They suck lol. Really just leaving them on to get my moneys worth, but they are truly terrible on ice and snow
How can that be? We just showed you they do great in a snow storm
@@OnDownTheRoadProductions sr5 doesn't get the same tires as the TRD
I drive in worse blizzards up here in Canada in my 07 civic with studded tires. No need for a 70k gas guzzler. Cheers
Front wheel drive works good in snow. 70K Canadian?
@@OnDownTheRoadProductions yes, studded tires for ice under the snow is a god send, I look forward to driving around during snow storms! yeah 4Runners after tax here are 70k.. even for ones a few years old.

Next snow storm next video
Excellent video Sir.
Thank you 5starFaith👍😎we are flattered. 5 Star Faith, having faith is the key. Great to have you here. ODTRP
trd orp has heated side mirrors?
we got a 2014 trail, and it's got em. I think all trims have em
Andrew is correct
@@andrewwong803 sr5 got none :(
You need good snow tires with studs and then the 4 Runner shines..Without good tire to ice traction , the vehicle type is pointless..
The 4Runner is number one ☝️ due to world class 4X4 systems. It drives on stock tires like it had studs enjoy your Jeep with the Stellantis build quality and that Fiat V6. Apparently as the video shows we drove over tons of ice.
I own a 2023 4Runner TRD off road premium..Snow tires with studs make a big difference, especially when stopping..I have lived in western Montana all of my life and the best form of traction is the use of tire chains..Using the wrong tires will get you in trouble real fast..No need to get snarky..@@OnDownTheRoadProductions
Stock tires and a proper winter tire with studs are 2 different things. I live in Canada…enough said.
What is your point? Yes they are two different things and one is much better in winter time..@@janicemunn
My SR5 does just fine without the added hassle of studs (especially if you’re not living in a constantly icy snowy location)…but a solid winter tire certainly helps! Went into winter with worn mud tires slipping all over the place…New Mickey Baja Boss ATs are soooo solid in wet and snow👌🏽 tires definitely make the 4Runner better! I think stock TRD ORP are Duelers? If so, also not bad, ran those on my grocery-getter 4th gen 4Runner and loved them. Dope video dude!
What are the 3 green lights on the top of your dash?
Christmas decorations just kidding they reflect lights fog lights on automatic hi beams on
4runner takes 87 just fine. what is the advantage of putting 89 in it?
Better combustion in cylinder resulting in better MPG’s
Wrong.
@bradhewitt6779 right
toyota manual states 87 not 89 octane
It runs better and produces higher mpg with higher octanes
i would love to believe this! do you have any data?@@OnDownTheRoadProductions
Interesting but that’s gonna save you from other drivers.
It could more often than not
I like my 4 Runner but seriously those conditions are minor. That's why all the 2 wheel drive cars are on the road.
They were not minor, and the filming was uphill
10,005 miles means you're late 5 miles to your first oil change😂
We change the oil every 5000 miles, and had our 10k maintenance cycle at 9800 miles. ODTRP recommends oil changes every 5k miles.
