Am I correct when I say the landcruiser and 4runner are nearly identical in almost every way? What's the reason to "upgrade" to the landcruiser? Especially considering the 4runner might have 3rd row seating option when the landcruiser does not
Better looking better interior kdss system. I’d say the 4Runner is the least buy worthy compared to gx550 base and Land Cruiser. Unless you want just a base 4 runner.
Find a different dealer. Our local ones don't charge extra (though they tried adding in $500 for pin striping, door handle protection, and nitrogen in the tires. Now they're adding in $800 for their ceramic wax), but the $15k addition that the Roseville one wrote in on even the low end Sienna made me not take them seriously.
I like that you guys talk about the tire differences between the Taco and 4R. It would be interesting to also mention the wheel size, width and offset.
3.4L Twin Turbo V6 non hybrid is why. Not as complicated, although there are many 20 year old Prius hybrids running around with most of their battery life
Thank you for actually mentioning the seat position when discussing rear seat legroom (and showing it with the seat all the way back). It's amazing how many auto reviewers miss this basic item. I also wish reviewers would start mentioning how far back the front seat actually goes, as I find all Hondas do not go back far enough for my legs to get comfortable.
This is awesome. They really didn’t mess this thing up. No dumb top that comes off or super overhaul of the look. Just modernizing what was amazing about the last gen but brought to today.

@@smittysmitty481 Completely disagree, Ford wins hands down IMO. Toyota doesn't make anything to compete with the Super Duty, Transit Van, Bronco Raptor, F150 Raptor or Raptor R, Ranger Raptor, Mustang Darkhorse and GTD, or the FORD GT!!! Toyotas are neat, but have too much plastic for me. They are definitely trying to catch up, but aren't quite there yet.
Except for the tundra , No trailhunter trim? The front end needs to be redesigned, and the front lights need to be updated to the rigid amber and white lights
@@BearMacTX don’t disagree just to disagree. How many raptors do they sell? How many Dark horses or gtds do you see on the road? Let’s forget about the GT because there’s less than 5000 made. The pick up truck market is collapsing because nobody has 70k+ to spend on things that are gonna depreciate quickly. Whether you agree or not Toyota is currently the biggest manufacturer in the world.
I would be happy to buy one if I could afford it, but unfortunately truck prices have gotten out of my reach. There is a point where I will say no because I am smart with my money and refuse to invest larger amounts into things that depreciate super fast like cars and trucks. I prefer to drive older and put my money to work making me more money then to watch it dis-appear in thin air. I think everybody has gotten to the same point as I have and are simply doing without because they are NOT paying the astronomical costs for a truck.
@@Evan-wt9zs He is one of those that walks into a dealership and says how much is that truck and dealer says 100k and then says OK what can you do to get my payments to ____number? Never pays attention to interest or years of loan. Never looks at depreciation or estimated cost of ownership.
you're right, but our discontent is misdirected. Manufacturers and dealer prices are tracking with inflation so it's fair pricing. The affordability issue is our paychecks do not track with inflation. The increase in auto prices wouldn't be a problem if our income increased equally.
Am I the only that sees Isuzu VehiCROSS in the rear? Overall I can appreciate what it is and I think it will do a great job carrying on the name. Personally I am more interested in the potential small off roader (some people are calling it the return of the FJ Cruiser) that is supposed to be about the size of the Corolla Cross. Hopefully it comes to the US market.
I see a 4Runner and TACO is hubby and I's future! We love our Bronco's, but the price point on these is just so much better! We overland more than offroad, so these would be perfect! Me in a 4Runner and hubby in a TACO! This gives us a year or two for thee hype to wear down!
I like it, but I was hoping after the Land Cruiser came out that the 4Runner would go in the Bronco/Wrangler direction like the old 4Runner was. I don't understand why they have the Land Cruiser where it is if it's a 4Runner basically.
The black fender flares makes the wheel well look giant and subsequently the tire look too small. Other than the ridiculous floor in the rear I think its nice. Not selling my 2022 Wildtrak 2 door over it though.
@TFL you said the Trailhunter is going to be one step below the TRD Pro trim level? Am I understanding that correctly? My top choices so far are the Chevy ZR2 or the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro, so I’m trying to compare them the most, features, price, etc.
I wouldn't say below. I'd say comparable cost but different focus. TRD Pro = high speed off-road. Trailhunter = Overland type activities and crawl focused off-roading.
I am disappointed they did not bring back a manual transmission for the new 4Runner. I don’t understand why they still do it for the Tacoma but no other else.
Same. Especially if they’re mechanically the same forward of the B pillar. I can’t imagine that it wasn’t possible. I’d have gone with this over a Bronco if could row my own gears.
There is no demand and it reduces mpg. In addition they are unsafe since a missed shift could cause a collision. I’m actually a little shocked that the Taco retained one. I bet it gets dropped after a year or two.
Thanks for the video. Can you explain why the premium gets full-time 4wd and what it gives up compared to the TRD PRO. Is full-time 4wd available for the TRD PRO as an option?
Bronco Sport doesn't compete with the 4 Runner or Wrangler. Wrangler is a better off-roader, but 4Runner is not that far behind and it's a much better daily driver.
@@appalachianpatriot1796 100% Agree and just did the same. Had a 2021 4XE that was constantly in the shop. Warranty work and recalls galore. Had a recall on the battery and couldn't use the hybrid portion for 5 months. Doggy POS because it is dragging around a 700 lb battery. My suggestion is stay away from Jeep at this point.
Every video I've seen goes over space in the back seat but not in the drivers seat. I'm 6'1 and found the head height a little low in the front in the current gen. Any difference in the new 4Runner?
Honestly, as a 5th gen owner and a fan of the new land cruiser I didn't expect the 6th gen 4runner to have any real appeal to me. I gotta admit, if I was looking to upgrade I eould have to seriously consoder the 6th gen vs the land cruiser. Not sure thats a good thing for toyota that the two are so similar in size but the 4runner looks fantastic, the gas mileage is going to be sooo much better thsn the 5th gen, and the trail hunter package with the big inverter makes it a ready mad eoverlander from thr factory!
I like it, but I do see a little of the old Dodge Durango in the rake of the windshield, I would have preferred a little more distinctive look over the Tacoma to separate them both, it's going to be a hard choice, do I keep my 2016 4runner trail, or do I trade her in for a new one.
MY big Question. Did they raise the seat and roof line like they did for the taco so you're not seated with your legs straight out for tall folks? and hitting steering wheel getting in and out.?????????????????
They are the same engineers. Mike Sweers basically oversees these things. They are tailored to different buyers so the feature set is going to look different.
I hate how they put the buttons right below where the driver and passenger both rest their hands that will affect the drive train and could break the vehicle if pressed while driving.
Hey guys since the Tacoma has been out a year with the hybrid motor if that’s the same going in 4 runner can you look into the good and bad so far there must be a few with 30,000 plus on it
It looks like they did a pretty good job with it. Ive got a 5th Gen and i do like what theyve done, for now. We'll have to wait and see if these 4cyl turbo engines are robust enough to be as bullet proof as the engines they are replacing (V6 and V8). If i were in the buying mood (and might be in the next 2 years), i think i'd just stretch it a bit and step up to a Land Cruiser...Ive lived the T4R life for the past 10yrs...my next vehicle would either be a new LC and throw some 33s on it or a T4R TRD Pro as my plan B.
How does the fold forward rear seat impact lay flat room? Seems like a missed opportunity to have a flat floor that is just a little longer and more people could sleep in.
I agree there is no way 4 cyl can be as durable as the 4.L V6 naturally aspirated engine. The 4L has a lot less stress on the engine making it more durable. Wish they had a simple V6 option available. I’d get it in a heartbeat over the 4 cyl. Plus the turbos do require premium fuel. So even the “fuel saving” doesn’t really make sense. Other than that I think it’s the best looking in the lineup. This look and the GX is my favourite
@@blueplanet1048they will be fine. Everyone has said this about every engine advancement ever. New ones won’t last because of higher compression ratios, yet they do, etc… Toyota seems to have general powertrain reliability down.
I wish the larger exterior dimensions translated to more room in the 2nd row (same with the Tacoma). Seems just as cramped as the current variant. Where did those extra inches go?
I was originally dead set on getting another 5th gen before they aren’t available anymore however I’ll definitely be getting a 6th gen. I’d prefer a 6 cylinder engine but their turbo 4 isn’t bad. Great review.
Hi chaps……… I’ve just viewed your 4Runner video…… but I had also viewed Doug’s video on the same vehicle….. and both videos failed to mention the fuel source for the 4Runner!!! Is it a petrol or diesel engine or even a krypton powered fuel source???? Please lift your game!!!! Regards Ian 👨🎤🇳🇿😎👍👍🍸😂
They're gonna be as base and watered down as the taco. And priced out of this world. SR5 will probably be 50k after dealers order them how they see fit. And seeing as how you can't order from Toyota, the dealers will add expensive packages to the SR5, Sport and TRD OR to put them mid 50s to 60.
love it. "The front seat is all the way back" as the rear seat legroom looks short. Moves front seat fwd 1 inch and then sits in driver's seat and doesn't fit LOL
The 4 runner has sold me now with the automatic lift gate. The only possible deal breaker is wheather it has parking sensors. However, you can get aftermarker sensors so may not be a big deal. This will likely be my next vehicle.
I'm sure most if not all models will get the parking sensors. My 22 Tundra SR5 has them, my brother's 20 TRD PRO Tundra doesn't have them, new gens have more safety tech standard
@@stevieray1828 Think so, I have been wondering about that. All honda passports come with them. The new fuel efficient engine, power lift gate, and parking sensors will make it hard to pass up.
I dig the new design. It's a throwback of sorts to the second gen 4Runner but takes some of the design cues from the new Tacoma. The Trailhunter and TRD Pro look good, but I'm sure the Limited version will look really slick as well.
Nice looking 4 runner.just wondering about the reliability .time will tell hopefully it is a good one I don’t think I would buy the first year see how they be and see the results
Great video guys always love your content! But Man. I am so bummed. Why is there no Manual option for there Trd Off Road and Sport Trims? The Taco gets a manual! They are basically the exact same like you’d said from the driver side door forward! Could you guys ask the engineer what happend!?
@@makerdistrict I'm sure the specs will tell headroom with and without pano. In the new tundra there is a noticable difference in headroom. In the pano model in backseat my head only fits into a little cutout, kind of uncomfortable... In the non-pano I'm nowhere near the headliner, there is no 2" bump
Yeah that’s a known issue with Sequoia and Tundra. Saw TRD Jon (I believe it was him, I’ve watched so many videos now 😅) sit in the back seat of the 6th gen and his head was almost hitting the back of the sunroof. If it had the pano and that frame was extended closer to the trunk, that wouldn’t be an issue in the backseat.
@@makerdistrict you could be right, and I don't know how it is with other vehicles, only the third Gen Tundra, but the space that the pano takes up lowers the headroom significantly. I'm 6'3" so it probably effected me more, and that is only in the back seat.
Hey TFL, please buy either a 4Runner or a Land Cruiser as a long term test vehicle. I would love to see what you guys do with it.

@@Josh-179…AND SIGNIFICANTLY improve quality control!! I’d be in the market for one today if it had real Toyota quality.
Thank you Toyota for keeping all the physical buttons! Love the interior.
I’ll take any of them. This entire line up looks great
All the nurses will be in line to get this 4 runner too
😂😂😂
Don’t forget, being a female nurse with 2+ deadbeat baby daddies is a requirement for financing on a 4Runner 😂😂😂
Looks good. Non TRD PRO looks better on this new Gen. Don't like the black fender flairs
Since it’s basically a Tacoma SUV. How comfortable are the rear seats?
I hate how they put the buttons right below where the driver and passenger both rest their hands that will affect the drive train and could break the vehicle if pressed while driving.
Hey guys since the Tacoma has been out a year with the hybrid motor if that’s the same going in 4 runner can you look into the good and bad so far there must be a few with 30,000 plus on it
What do you think about leg room at the driver seat between 5 gen and 6 gen please
Do you guys know when the hybrid tacoma will be available?
It looks like they did a pretty good job with it. Ive got a 5th Gen and i do like what theyve done, for now. We'll have to wait and see if these 4cyl turbo engines are robust enough to be as bullet proof as the engines they are replacing (V6 and V8). If i were in the buying mood (and might be in the next 2 years), i think i'd just stretch it a bit and step up to a Land Cruiser...Ive lived the T4R life for the past 10yrs...my next vehicle would either be a new LC and throw some 33s on it or a T4R TRD Pro as my plan B.
How does the fold forward rear seat impact lay flat room? Seems like a missed opportunity to have a flat floor that is just a little longer and more people could sleep in.
It’s probably me but I can’t accept that the high output turbo and hybrid engines will be nearly as durable as the V6.
I think they can, but they need proper maintenance. There's plenty of examples of turbo cars going over 300k on the original turbo.
I agree there is no way 4 cyl can be as durable as the 4.L V6 naturally aspirated engine. The 4L has a lot less stress on the engine making it more durable.
Wish they had a simple V6 option available. I’d get it in a heartbeat over the 4 cyl. Plus the turbos do require premium fuel. So even the “fuel saving” doesn’t really make sense. Other than that I think it’s the best looking in the lineup. This look and the GX is my favourite
@@blueplanet1048they will be fine. Everyone has said this about every engine advancement ever. New ones won’t last because of higher compression ratios, yet they do, etc… Toyota seems to have general powertrain reliability down.
"Tall Ho Mode" killed me 🤣🤣
I wish the larger exterior dimensions translated to more room in the 2nd row (same with the Tacoma). Seems just as cramped as the current variant. Where did those extra inches go?
I was originally dead set on getting another 5th gen before they aren’t available anymore however I’ll definitely be getting a 6th gen. I’d prefer a 6 cylinder engine but their turbo 4 isn’t bad. Great review.
Not reliable
@@oliverb5798 doesn’t matter…. the resale value will be so high that if it sucks you can just trade out and not lose your ass
Hi chaps……… I’ve just viewed your 4Runner video…… but I had also viewed Doug’s video on the same vehicle….. and both videos failed to mention the fuel source for the 4Runner!!!
Is it a petrol or diesel engine or even a krypton powered fuel source????
Please lift your game!!!!
Regards Ian 👨🎤🇳🇿😎👍👍🍸😂
There are no diesel Toyotas in the U.S.
TFL is based in the US. Due to very strict emissions, we only get gas powered small engines
The disk with the morse code on the 4Runner reads "Accessory Ready"
I wanna see the SR5, Sport, and OR. The ones everyone will get
They're gonna be as base and watered down as the taco. And priced out of this world. SR5 will probably be 50k after dealers order them how they see fit.
And seeing as how you can't order from Toyota, the dealers will add expensive packages to the SR5, Sport and TRD OR to put them mid 50s to 60.
love it. "The front seat is all the way back" as the rear seat legroom looks short. Moves front seat fwd 1 inch and then sits in driver's seat and doesn't fit LOL
California is looking extremely green! Is this in San Diego county or the Transverse Ranges?
You will not be allowed to own a vehicle soon.
San Diego, they said it in the video
The rear side window looks exactly like the 1st Gen.. right??
The 4 runner has sold me now with the automatic lift gate. The only possible deal breaker is wheather it has parking sensors. However, you can get aftermarker sensors so may not be a big deal. This will likely be my next vehicle.
I'm sure most if not all models will get the parking sensors. My 22 Tundra SR5 has them, my brother's 20 TRD PRO Tundra doesn't have them, new gens have more safety tech standard
@@stevieray1828 Think so, I have been wondering about that. All honda passports come with them. The new fuel efficient engine, power lift gate, and parking sensors will make it hard to pass up.
Could Accessory Ready right beside all the aux switches be a clue? With all the crash regs there will never be a removable roof.
No information on where it will be assembled? No manual shift 4x4 ?
They great! I like them all.
I dig the new design. It's a throwback of sorts to the second gen 4Runner but takes some of the design cues from the new Tacoma.
The Trailhunter and TRD Pro look good, but I'm sure the Limited version will look really slick as well.
Good job guys ! thank you
What do the buttons do in reference to the rear door/hatch?
Ive seen people put 37"s on the new Tacoma. I wonder if it will be as easy on the new 4runner
Nice looking 4 runner.just wondering about the reliability .time will tell hopefully it is a good one I don’t think I would buy the first year see how they be and see the results
Great video guys always love your content! But Man. I am so bummed. Why is there no Manual option for there Trd Off Road and Sport Trims? The Taco gets a manual! They are basically the exact same like you’d said from the driver side door forward! Could you guys ask the engineer what happend!?
It totally needs the pano. I think that would make for more headroom in the second row.
Pano roofs are really cool, but they do take up some headroom, also not as safe in an accident
Presently with the sunroof as is, there is no headroom in the second row. Pano would fix that.
Also pano is safer than a removable top 🤷🏻♀️
@@makerdistrict I'm sure the specs will tell headroom with and without pano. In the new tundra there is a noticable difference in headroom. In the pano model in backseat my head only fits into a little cutout, kind of uncomfortable... In the non-pano I'm nowhere near the headliner, there is no 2" bump
Yeah that’s a known issue with Sequoia and Tundra. Saw TRD Jon (I believe it was him, I’ve watched so many videos now 😅) sit in the back seat of the 6th gen and his head was almost hitting the back of the sunroof. If it had the pano and that frame was extended closer to the trunk, that wouldn’t be an issue in the backseat.
@@makerdistrict you could be right, and I don't know how it is with other vehicles, only the third Gen Tundra, but the space that the pano takes up lowers the headroom significantly. I'm 6'3" so it probably effected me more, and that is only in the back seat.
Fox shocks better than Bilstein or old man emu shocks?
Color matched wheel arches please 🙏
Does it have the same front axle disconnect as the Tacoma??
Hey there….. did they take that TRD exhaust off ? No one has mentioned it.
Looks like yes….
I don’t see a “4Runner” badge anywhere on the TRD Pro. That seems odd.
What’s the tow rating on the new 4-Runner
No mpg numbers for the new 4Runner yet?
To my eye the 6G4R wheelbase looks shorter than the 5G. Is it?
