      I do like the retro design of the Bronco but its longevity is yet to be tested. And, as a fellow Toyota loyalist, I hope that the Bronco's popularity pushes the Toyota team on the next gen 4R.

      I like it but i don't want that 50k price tag, so I'm settling for a 2023 Subaru Forester wilderness for 35k. My tundra is getting old as it's 2007 and I want to keep it longer, so the Forester will help me not further wear it out.

      300000 miles would be about $61,000 in gas assuming 3.50 a gallon in a 4runner. Not that a Bronco is much better but that's just a fuck of a lot is all.

      Everyone uses 'dated'. The word they are looking for is 'proven'. Argument against a proven vehicle sounds pretty stupid eh? As if they deserve some new vehicle that rides like a Maybach, gets the milage of a Metro, off roads like a Humvee, 0-60 of a Vette and costs like a Kia. Ingrate comes to mind. If the trans had 15 gears they'd complain it didn't have 20.

    As an owner of a 2005 Toyota Tacoma that I purchased used in 2008 and which I still own and of a 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 I purchased in 2016 I can say you made a good purchase. I have never had any serious problems with Toyota vehicles and neither has my sister who purchased her first Toyota Corolla in 1988 and has been driving one ever since. In fact it was my sister's experience with her Corolla's that convinced me to switch from Chevy to Toyota years ago. No Toyota doesn't have the latest gadgets or the latest luxury in their vehicles. Neither do they have the most powerful engines or the most responsive acceleration. In spite of all these shortcomings Toyota's are actually some of the most expensive vehicles in the market considering the dearth of bells and whistles they come with. Even so people still buy them and the reason for that is because they are RELIABLE! Like you I don't swap vehicles every 5 or 6 years. I run them into the ground and by the time I replace the vehicle it is ready for the scrap yard. For that reason when I go looking for a vehicle I am not necessarily looking for the most bells and whistles or the most powerful drive train. I look for a steady eddy reliable long lasting vehicle that will give me years of dependable service with proper maintenance. That's exactly what you get when you buy a Toyota. So even though Toyota vehicles may seem several years behind the competition in terms of features that's by design. The engineers at Toyota want to preserve the reputation of their brand for quality so they won't adopt new technologies until they have matured and any problems ironed out first.

    CONGRATS on the 4Runner!!!!! I agree on the dark colors! My 2018 is dark blue. I love the Army Green, but the wife does not... :( ONE THING TO WATCH OUT FOR is any oil on the valve covers. My Timing Chain Cover started leaking at 4 years / 24K miles. I noticed some oil on the passenger side valve cover. Mine was covered under the power train warranty, but would have cost alot of $$$ to get it fixed. They had to drop the front half shafts/rack/oil pan and take off the intake/valve covers and the front of the motor. Sooooooo, please keep a check on it and make sure to check it very good before you are out of the power train warranty which I believe is 60 months /60k miles. I would keep it degreased to make it easier to spot. Keep up the workouts too!!!! I have a workout building that I hit everyday. Most recently added powerblocks to it and an incline bench.....getting back to some free weights. Have a Hoist H210 with leg press, Sole E35 Ellipt, Concept 2 Rower, 100 pound heavy bag, treadmill, and commercial gym grade flooring. Had the building built back in the early 1990's.

The way Toyota designed the new setup is pretty reliable & probably better than most setups but that doesn't mean I want it. Even if my V6 is not as powerful that's fine it'll last me a long ass time & I'm a fanatic about 🛢️ changes & taking care of stuff amsoil is the best for the differentials & transmission imo. These things are easy to maintain few hundred bucks a year & if you take good care they will last forever 👍👍 nice ride bro

    Congrats on your 4Runner!
    One thing that I've been reading over and over for the past several years in the comments of 4Runner videos, is that A LOT of people (claim to be) buying 2021, 2022, 2023 4Runner's because they know that they don't want a 4 cylinder turbo and/or having to deal with a new unknown engine. I am heavily leaning in that camp.
    Fortunately, I don't 'need' a new vehicle, as I have a 12 year old (non-Toyota) body on frame, 4WD that I love, that runs GREAT and is in excellent condition.........however, it's 12 year's old and I ONLY want a (super reliable), body on frame truck with part-time 4WD and a 6 or 8 cylinder engine. Other than a Land Cruiser (which I cannot afford, nor justify), there is just nothing else out here that interests me. I love everything about the 4Runner's "old-school" simplicity. Absolutely no doubt that you pay a super premium for a new vehicle..........but at the same time, there is something to be said for KNOWING that it was taken care of from Day 1, getting only the options you want, and the color you want. I am really leaning towards pulling the trigger on a new one.........as, at my age, I plan for it to be the last vehicle I own.
    Gas mileage is a non-issue.......given what it is. It's not like there are other body on frame SUV's that are getting 35 mpg.

    This is the reason why I love Toyota as a brand. If you want flashy you get the Lexus. If you want something that can take a beating and last Toyota would be the way. Right now I'm debating either Tacoma or 4Runner and I wanna get it before the new restyle. We know all these companies nowadays and Toyota are down grading their motor sizes for emission purposes and going with 4cyl turbos which are gonna have reliability issues in the start but just like everything made by Toyota they fix the problems. What I plan on needing it for is overlanding and pretty much as a doomsday style vehicle. Something I know will last years and years and can take the beating and is very simple to fix without all these useless electronics. Great video btw.

    I just bought myself a 22 trd pro 4runner this helps me avoid buying any "new tech" such as cylinder management systems, or start/stop, or small turbo engine, or the new cheap method of building engine blocks with "lazer welded in" thin cylinder liners, and the infamous CVT transmission throwaway junk. None of this new tech impresses me in the least. None of it will help a vehicle to last 300K. The cylinder management systems accelerate wear on the engine drastically. Plus buying the TRD Pro I bypassed needing aftermarket acc such as lift, lockers, skids, it comes with all I need for on road and for offroad use. I only changed out the nitto tires to bfg ta/ko-2's. , I did add some heavy duty westin side steps as well to ward off the city door dings in parking lots.

      The auto market is the Wild West right now. I agonized over the summer trying to time the market and avoid being oversold. I ultimately paid MSRP for mine and bought it right at the end of the '22 model year.
