Awesome buy, just got a SR5 Premium as my first car. Can't wait to have it for the next few decades!
Purchased 2024 TRD OR premium in underground last week. Last call for this legend of a truck. The 2025 will have better tech but really like the looks and simplicity of the 2024.
Yep! Boring 300,000 plus reliability! 😉
Another great video. Bought a 2021 TRD ORP brand new and will be keeping it for the long haul. Fluid filmed since new and no rust. Love the underground color.
Thank you for the kind words and watching my videos! My old SR-5 will be making an appearance soon on the channel with its new pilot. Stay tuned!
Purchased an Underground 2024 TRD ORP on 12/27/2023. Threw on the OEM trail running boards and the “new” TRD Pro concave wheels. I prefer the new one over the old ones they are putting on the 24 Pros. Love my 4Runner and plan to pass it down to my son in 13 years as his first vehicle.
Love reading stuff like this ❤️ my 7 year old is absolutely patiently awaiting my 2018 TRD OR which currently has 105,000 miles… XPEL full front end PPF, Bilstein 5100 @ 0.85, BFG KO2, and Baja Designs amber fog lights…. This has been the most trouble free and capable rig I’ve ever owned and she’s paid off…. At 42 years old, this is the only vehicle I’ve ever owned that I could call an “investment”. Happy Father’s Day to everyone out there saving their Yotas for their little ones!!!!
Lucky boy to get a 4Runner
@@billseiler4952 he loves it which makes me love it even more ❤️
Those new wheels are nice but I was actually happy when mine came with the original TRDs TBH. My son is the same age, I think he’s going to drive one my Celicas in the good weather. 😉 He loves the 5speeds.
@@Glasscitycarnerd man those Celicas are like Terminators!!!!!!! ❤️
I love how this color changes! I’m loving it!
It’s really a great thing about a lot of Toyota colors!
Got a TRD ORP in Underground in the end of March and have 6500 miles on it and I love it so much, it came with the Pro rims and planning to add the heritage grille. I’ve heard some mixed reviews of the Toyota dashcams because you apparently need to use their app and the SD card is very small. I went with the Garmin mini dash cam and it’s been amazing… super discrete, great quality, and I can view the live feed as long as I’m nearby and have service. Love your channel!
Thank you for watching! I haven’t had any issues on this or the 21 I recently sold. I’m a big fan of the camera but you do need their app. It’s a micro SD with an adaptor. There is a wifi connection from it to the app which you need to set up and make sure it’s on before downloading, but I don’t really download video much.
Put some clear film on Front and part of the hood and the windshield to protect it from rord debris that will chip your paint and wind screen.
It’s got 10 mil XPel Ppf on the entire vehicle. I had a protective film put on the windshield too. They trailed it from the dealer to the shop back in February.
I have a 2023 4Runner TRD PRO and it looks almost exactly like yours with the exception of a few minor differences. I have magnetic gray metallic compared to underground. I have the same rock sliders as you. I even have the red TRD badge that you have in your front grill. I absolutely love my 4Runner!! I want to fluid film my 4Runner as well, but I’m not sure where to take it to get that done. I was wondering how much it cost to have that done? I live in Colorado. Thanks!!
Around Pittsburgh it was about $300 for the undercarriage/frame to be done. More if you wanted them to remove door panels to get in there. It’s 100 to have a refresher coat put on each fall. My 21 went through 3 winters and looked brand new underneath. So worth it!
5 months ago. You could go to the Toyota dealer and find dozens of Tundra 5.7, Tacomas, and used 4 runners. They have very little inventory now. Everyone keeping there old reliables
If they weren’t slow and a smoother ride I’d buy one in a heart beat for reliability…. Just not much fun for the driver unless you’re off roading 👍 love that color bro
Looks great . Please post a link to where to get the red TRD front emblem . Thanks
I think it’s in the description. It’s from Etsy.com the shop is listed. They have some nice stuff!
How are you liking those Nitto tires ? Quite ? How about in wet weather ?
@@nickb1690 they are decent. My biggest reason for having Wildpeaks on my previous 4Runner was the snow performance. I will now get to see how these do, as I don’t plan on changing these out. It will have a trip from Pittsburgh to Destin this week so I will have more data. Stay tuned!
I live in the snow belt what is the best way to protect underside as well as paint please be specific I am new to 4 runners and still contemplating 😊
@@annatomacari9349 for rust prevention, Fluid Film which is a chemical that was developed for the Navy to use on its fleet is great. It’s a spray on that coats the surface of underneath and repels moisture and prevents rust. It’s a few hundred dollars to have applied the first time and then you should have a yearly respray to get any areas that may need additional. I did this on my 2021 and it still looks new underneath! I’m going to have this treated and hope to do a video at the location in Monroeville, PA that applies it. As for paint protection, I went all out and XPel filmed it (a clear wrap) and then had it ceramic coated on top. You can save by only doing the hood and front fenders. Check out the website of the place I went to as they have good information in their videos.

@@Glasscitycarnerd Thank you so much for the information! Wish we were close to that shop!
Beautiful color 👍🏽
Thank you!!!
I’m gonna get one for Christmas a white one Trd pro I’m excited I can’t wait❤
Congratulations!
You better put a deposit down on one now. They are going to stop making these in the next 2-3 months and they are getting bought before arriving to the dealership. Not likely going to be any sitting on lots at Christmas time.
I've got the exact model and color. 2024 TRD PRO in Underground. TBH the after marked badging really cheapens the look of the rig and is kinda corny. You've got a real TRD PRO why make it look like a TRD FAUX?
Yeah I’ll pass. They’re the same since 2009 besides a facelift… the best used value is the Lexus gx460 which is superior to the 4Runner in every single way.
It’s updated in the tech, and old in the mechanical. The perfect new old truck.
@@Glasscitycarnerd what tech is updated my brother? I have worked at Toyota for 5 years now 😅😂
@@aeirsone9045 maybe you didn’t notice the infotainment update in 20, the option of front cameras in 22, blind spot rear cross traffic alert in 23 heated steering wheel (awesome) in 23 and a few more things. I won’t tell your employer….😂😂😂
@@Glasscitycarnerd certainly you are aware all of those were standard on the Lexus gx460 in 2014, nothing is “new tech” there buddy. But if you feel better about paying $55k for a 2009 Toyota with some parts bin tech tossed in, that’s good for me 😅🥹
@@aeirsone9045 You asked the improvements since 2014, I answered. I’m not a Lexus SUV fan. I’m immensely happy for you.
Never buying a 4 cylinder Toyota.
For me, cars yes, trucks no. If the rumor of a new 4cyl Celica is true (4 cyl turbo 400 hp) I would get it. So I’m not anti turbo, just not in trucks.
This beast are not common car😈
I try to not drive boring. 😉
No thanks. Not going to be stuck in the past driving this slow dated truck. So boring
Agree 100%!!! These vehicles are proven examples of quality & reliability. Something that is truly hard to find in today's world. Got a 24 TRD off-road premium about 2 months ago, Barcelona red, was not looking for a vehicle at all at the time, but ended up learning this was the last year for this version of the 4 runner, spent a weekend researching which model would suit me best, found one the next week & now it's in my garage. Crazy how it all worked out, but so thankful & grateful to have been able to get my hands on one, now my 98 Tacoma has a yota buddy!!!! 😊
Barcelona Red is still my favorite color. Voodoo blue is a close second. Congratulations!
I bought a low mileage 2023 TRD Off-road Premium the other night. I love this thing so far. Can’t wait to get it off road and upgrade it. 👍🏾
Just bought a TRD Pro in May and I love this thing. After hearing the horror stories of how bad the fuel economy is, I was very surprised that I got 20.3 mpg’s round trip this weekend. I went from Phoenix to Flagstaff to Payson and back with 5 adults. About 400 miles total.
I just bought one. I’ll keep it for 50 years
@@BarryMcCockiner1 CONGRATULATIONS! If you live in the snow belt, check out my video on Fluid Film! If it doesn’t rust, it’s a 50 year rig!!!
pavement princess smh
@@JattAnmoli my family has a 200 acre farm. It goes off-road and looks good on. Of my 13 cars, this ain’t my pavement princess. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This color scratches way to fast
That’s why I had it PPFd immediately. The paint quality is a bit fragile these days.
What is your annual income to afford this lol?
@@SCSNIP3R quit my job last year actually. But, if you must know, “sufficient”….😂
Lol you paid $500 for a dash cam 😂
That will save me thousands if I’m ever in a “your word against mine” scenario. It’s integrated into the system and not tacked on. So yep, happily paid only $500 for this. 😉 A lady pulled into the path of my wife and daughter once, and thankfully there was a witness who proved the lady was lying to the cops. So, yep.
I’m getting my 2024 trd pro in underground. Can’t wait!
Thanks for all your great advice.
Love what you did to with the 10 mil ppl and ceramic coating. Looks gorgeous. I live in south Florida. You mentioned the shop that did yours also has a location in Florida. Can you share with me the name of the shop. Would love to have it done by a reputable company.
Cool. Had a new Tacoma for a month & traded for ORP KDSS. Also got ceramic protection. Keep ceramic car wash at home for clean up. Wife wouldn't drive Tacoma because of bed but loves 4 Runner.
Love these 4runners, but it's time to move on to new ones. These are slow, and doing 70 mph on highways feels like driving a bus. The new 4runner is a way to go.
You’ve never driven with me. 😉 Triple digits is quite realistic with these.
I have to agree. though the reputation for reliability is known, in 2024 a thirsty yet very underpowered drivetrain seems so backwards. I can deal with the sluggishness, but not at 15-16MPG. will probably sell mine and when the new 4runner is available
And when you say 2024, think 2010 with a 2014 face lift. Mechanically identical.
@@MaximumDIYGarage Mechanical yes. The modern features of Apple Car play, rear obstruction warnings, front camera/trail camera make the later ones just a bit less anachronistic. 😉 Love them all!
I was all in on the 2025 redesign until I started scrutinizing the differences.
-Complex turbo 4 cylinder
-Objectively less cargo space due to seat folding changes and hybrid battery storage.
-Smaller backseat ( despite an increase in length of the vehicle )
-Less ergonomic controls. More functions buried deeper into the laggy touch screen system.
- guaranteed dealer mark ups for the first year or so. Expect higher msrp too.
- little to no after market support due to being a ground up redesign.
I put a $1000 deposit on a 2024 model expected to arrive next month.
It's not that I think the redesign will fail. It's just new and unproven. Too many design decisions are based on overly burdensome government regulations rather than customer satisfaction.
The only aspect of the new one that seems outright better rather than just different would be MPG, but it remains to be seen if that's a big difference. The new Tacoma is getting only a couple mpg more than the previous gen.
Hi, congratulations it’s beautiful I have a 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 premium and I love it. Mine is white blacked out.
Food for thought. I value the latest tech, but. The low mpg is offset by lower repair cost. Probably offset. I thought about getting one but ultimately went for the 2024 Highlander Limited. Has all the tech I value.
@@paulstein9258 I need peace of mind that my vehicle won’t suddenly leave me stranded. For my entire new car purchase history (1992 on) a Toyota would give me that for ten years plus. Sadly, the turbos do not give me that confidence.
I did a similar thing, selling my red orp, and picking up a black pro. Wanted terra, but my daughter said no. Love it. Actually, I still have both, but the red will go soon. Nice vid. 👍🤪🏳️🌈
Congratulations! I agree about Terra, especially coming from Barcelona Red. I was thinking Black, bit this Underground was the perfect spec for me! Stay tuned, my old red one will be appearing this weekend on the channel…..
I just bought one
I think you made the right choice. With the way current Toyota revamps end up having a ton of issues thus far I have a feeling this model will outlast the 25's that are to come.
Sadly I agree. I used to just take for granted that each new Toyota would improve on the previous. Now, for the short term hopefully, I don’t see the engine being better.
I have the same truck best automotive decision I ever made in my entire life
Congratulations! I love these!
Do you recommend the shop in Monroeville for fluid film ? Like the dash cam. Was it factory, port, or dealer installed ? Thanks a lot !
I highly recommend them! My 21 that I just sold looks absolutely new underneath! Nice folks to deal with!
What rock rails are these. I don’t see them as an option in Canada. Also was the blackout badges in the back an option.
They are a Toyota part. They are on the Monroney (sticker). They may be a US only part as the dealerships in the US are split into different regional distribution companies and Toyotas have slight option/price differences depending on the region you buy in. I’m in the Central Atlantic region, so a dealership there may be able to get you the part number if not available in Canada.
Pretty XPEL shine.....I have a RAV4 XSE in XPEL in eight....metallic grey / black....happy to share pics lol. Your dashcam looks different than mine.
I had a paint chip in my Camry XSE v6 within 3 days of ownership....i got the paint filled in but it's still there....made sure I took my RAV straight in as soon as I bought it for the PPF. I'm a big fan of it now.
Is that nightshade running boards?
I had mine trailed to the shop in an enclosed trailer straight from the dealer. I never drove mine for the first two weeks I owned it! 😂. The bars are sliders. No step.
@@Glasscitycarnerd What was the cost of full car PPF for your XPEL 10? I got quoted and it was 50% more than the 8mil.
Congrats on the 4runner beautiful rig. You mentioned fluid film to the under cathage which i did to my 2016 4runner but when I purchased my 2023 4Runner the I had the dealership do waxoyl treatment to the under cathage because like you we live in the rustbelt of NH. waxoyl is a better product and lasts much longer than fluid film,just figured you would want to know. Good luck
Thanks. I looked into that, but I like the thinner nature and I reapply the Fluid Film each fall and my 21 looks brand new. The tech at the dealership complimented it and said, “Whatever you are doing to treat the underside, it WORKS, keep doing it!” They are both good, and both do amazing at preventing corrosion.
@@Glasscitycarnerddo you need to cover the suspension and exhaust with plastic bags before coating the undercarriage with fluid film? Is it hard to do myself?
Where did you purchase your TRD PRO for 1K under MSRP ?
Cochran in Irwin PA. They sell at MSRP on pros, but I bought it on December 26 and was persistent. Waited two months for it to arrive.
@@Glasscitycarnerd Thanks for your reply !
I have a '23 Solar Octane built up 4Runner w/ Supercharger. Going to keep that as my daily. Meanwhile shopping for a 2024 Underground and Terra TRD PRO. I'm going to have the pre-delivery team keep the plastic on everything and get a car cover to store. Literal guaranteed FJ Trail Teams type value in 10 years (probably ~$100K w/ inflation). Rare colored Tacoma/Tundra/4Runner will be highly sought after and collectable.
People will think I'm insane, until they find this comment in 10 years from now when it's rare as hens teeth to find these.
PS, Make sure you undercoat the frame!
I was going to do this with this one and keep the 21. But I’m building a big garage and have a bunch of other distractions so I decided to drive this. They are going to be coveted for sure!!
Love your vids$
Thank you so much! They are fun to make!!!
Beautiful truck.
Thank you!
