I absolutely love the 4Runner and the Lunar Rock paint! Absolutely gorgeous! Our RAV4 is rockin' the Lunar Rock color and it's so nice, easily the best color you could get on a RAV4 other than Blue Flame. It was a matter of time before it manifested to the 4Runner. The thing I love most about the 4Runner is just how old school it is: the boxy, rugged exterior and interior design, the reliable 4.0 Liter V6, the sliding rear window, the tried and true 5-speed automatic with no gear hunting, and the plush ride quality! I drove a new SR5 4Runner last week to a glass shop and I had the rear window all the way down and it was such a cool experience. This is literally the only SUV that lets you do that! I hope the next gen 4Runner keeps this tradition as well as the Tundra.
I have a ‘15 TRD Pro 4runner in inferno and I just bought another ‘21 TRD Pro 4runner in black (it’s black with blue pearl). I would never think of buying anything else. I love your videos.
They will blink so you won’t get a good view on how they look. Has to do with LED lights not being constant beam and the frame rate of video camera. I think the best option is to go to dealership to see. 👍
Just picked mine up yesterday fresh off the truck only 3miles on it after a six month wait! Paid $51k for it saw a 2020 black last week with 10,800 miles on it starting at $63k! I can’t believe the crazy markup
The ability to lower the back window is why I’m back to 4Runner - for my dog 🐶. Looked at used but when I saw the 2021 color decided this should be it and color name Lunar Rock for dog - Luna? Synchronicitous!! I’m so excited! I have one of these on order 😱should be in by December! I still haven’t seen this color live but bought it on faith!! It reminds me of my beautiful aqua 2001 4 runner💕❤️
NOBODY in UA-cam world is as good as Toyota Jeff! His cousin Maserati Steve comes close but NOBODY matches Jeff's enthusiasm. And Volkswagen Val only gets like 3 views.
Consider aftermarket rock slider(zero degree with plates) instead of optional oem step bar, unless you have short people of course. Cost more but much more functional and protective.
my only complaint is the no turn signals on the mirrors and no heated side mirrors. i think the turn signals on the mirror is just nicer and should be on every car. im in the northeast and i hate getting in my car in the AM and my side mirrors are frozen.
@@terria8825 Couldn't be happier... this thing is an absolute pleasure to drive and super capable. It gets just the right amount of attention and I love how basic it is. It just works. I previously owned a variety of luxury SUV's and I don't see myself going back.
Hello Jeff, can you please let me know how tall is the 4Runner TRD Pro, from the ground to the top of the cargo rack? Wondering if it fits inside the garage. Thanks!!!!!!
We got a 2021 limited. Really wanted a TRD pro but in December 2020 inventory was very limited here in New England. Really only wanted the TRD pro because it looks so cool. Happy with the limited. It is a lease and only plan on boat towing and beach trail driving. Good video 👍
Hey Jeff, you said this has LED daytime running lights? Are you sure? I believe it has halogen running lights and halogen blinkers. LMK. I just ordered one Jan.8th it should be here this week. Thanks John
Does the 2021 Pro have an ambient air cooler for the trans or has it been removed like Tacoma and Tundra? Those of us that tow in summer months need a true tow package with ambient air trans cooler.
Amazing. I'm so obsessed with this Lunar Rock colour it's not even funny. Was thinking of waiting for a 2022 model to see if there's any new body improvements and better MPG but at the same time I'm worried that turbo's, etc might jeopardize the bulletproof longevity of this current engine/transmission. Besides it would go perfect with my $SPCE licence plates. Any advice ?
Hahahaaaaa I will be happy to do a sound test. In the next couple weeks. I can’t just use any music because of UA-cam copyright policy. I will have to come up with my own music that is not copyrighted. That is why I haven’t done it yet.
@@Toyotajeff it may make it a bit more tedious, but you could download some public access music to your personal device to play through the vehicle's sounds system.
Is there a possibility where you can show us where all the 15 speakers are in the JBL system haha One more question I have a 2016 Toyota forerunner SR5 is the Apple CarPlay touchscreen system retrofittable on previous models?
Hello Jeff am Nosakhare Okunhor from Nigeria nice job bro you the best👍 I always enjoy watching you car reviews please sound the horn of the vehicles u are making a review on because I always wonder how the car horn sound trust me man I put that into consideration if I want to buy a car deuces.
Owner of a 2013 trail edition. Was looking to get the new TRD this year until I saw that its basically the same car but with updated lights..... Is that a joke? 8 Years and the only update is lights and the AC display
@@Hobinator17 At least another gear to the transmission and more horsepower would be a start. Ford explorer weighs more, has 100 more HP, and still has better fuel economy.
@@PK-we9rb I hear ya. Definitely underpowered & it wants to change gears too much on hills. Im thinking of putting the magnuson supercharger kit on mine
Jeff; I’m in market soon for new suv, had pilots for years but considering the switch to highlander or my fav 4Runner with 3row....however the mpg is awful from what I’ve heard. Most comments say 15-16 combined ...is this true? I love the old school styling of the 4 runner...help!
Dude u said ur a dork and ur corny in another video..... personally I think a lot of people go their whole life not figuring out what you’ve figured out, to not give a f***. Ur hilarious and ur vids are informative u earned my sub easily two videos ago
@@jgonzalez5634 Not this person. Some people might like an old stale design I guess🤷♂️. Looking at the rear is like looking at the broadside of a barn. Ugly AF
At this point a redesign may drive the price up too high, 4runner still has alot of market share and caters to those who want proven reliability. if you want something new go get a ford bronco.
Only needs a little more power or at least a better transmission. Other than that and its still great and goes anywhere. But it is always searching for gears on mountain roads and don't dare try towing with it. Especially up in the altitude where I live. Its why I'm selling mine for a Bronco!
It would be great to see Toyota change coatings or galvanize the frame and control bits so that the don't start rusting as soon as you drive off the lot in North East locations where roads are salted.
everyone asked for two things in 2021: LED lights and blind spot monitoring. They half delivered on one and did not even think about incorporating the other. Absolutely ridiculous Toyota thinks they can sell a car for 50Gs and not have both of those standard.
@Maxima I was in the same exact boat. Had they even gave me the option for blind spot monitoring, I would have purchased a 4Runner, albeit unhappily for the upcharge for LEDs+blind spot. They are clearly just choosing to cut corners because they know they have the "4Runner" brand name appeal. I will be taking my money elsewhere.
Alan Zhang maybe just learn to drive LOL. To expect a car to be loaded up from top to bottom for the least amount of money tells me Nissan might just have to be your go-to... if it still goes 2 years from your date of purchase
@@IDoEvrythingTwice hahahaha you are a certified clown, my man. If you think asking a 55k car to have LEDs + blind spot is a tall ask and "loaded up from top to bottom" you're living on a different planet.
Not to say the 4Runner is a perfect car, or any car for that matter. That’s why there is so much competition among makes to see who offers the most for cry babies like you who probably can’t even afford the car in the first place. Like I said, I suggest Nissan. Also, as far as I know their Maxima models offer blind spot monitor and LED’s. Good luck on your off-road endeavors. Or freeway I should say?
We have our 4Runner for 3 months now. If I didn’t read all the comments about how bad the transmission is, I would never know. The truck is perfect the way it is. Love it and plan to always own one. Until I can afford another Land Cruiser and if they still import them to the US.
Thanks for watching everyone and for Subscribing! Hard to believe I've made over 700 review and how-to videos. I really appreciate you all! Jeff
FRIEND, I WILL LOVE TO SEE A COMPARE 2021 MODELS LIKE THE ONE YOU DID NAMED "2019 THE RAV4 vs Highlander vs 4Runner The Ultimate Battle!"
At 1:25, Yes I am impressed ! Very Impressed ! Jeff - Thank you for this video !
Keep it up! Genuine reviews from a genuine guy. Love the content!

Best part of the video @7:15
"Turn down for what!" ..Your welcome..
I have a ‘15 TRD Pro 4runner in inferno and I just bought another ‘21 TRD Pro 4runner in black (it’s black with blue pearl). I would never think of buying anything else. I love your videos.
Jeff, can we get a POV night time drive with the 2021 4runner?? Would love to see how those new LED's look compared to the old lamps.
That would be nice!
They will blink so you won’t get a good view on how they look. Has to do with LED lights not being constant beam and the frame rate of video camera. I think the best option is to go to dealership to see. 👍
They work quite well, for a second I thought my brights were on first time driving it at night
I may drive from Fl. to buy a 4runner from this guy!
This must be the most boring presenter I've ever seen in life. Worse he shouted at everything
Just picked mine up yesterday fresh off the truck only 3miles on it after a six month wait! Paid $51k for it saw a 2020 black last week with 10,800 miles on it starting at $63k! I can’t believe the crazy markup

The MPG is literally my only complaint. Awesome review!
This looks more like cement to me than the previous one. Absolutely gorgeous! I imagine this in a matte wrap, on a jobsite. 😍😍😍😍
How has this guy reviewing cars not gone viral ??!!
Yup. Everyone is lining up for that roof mounted cargo rack. My preference would be rock sliders over the running boards.
NOBODY in UA-cam world is as good as Toyota Jeff! His cousin Maserati Steve comes close but NOBODY matches Jeff's enthusiasm. And Volkswagen Val only gets like 3 views.

Thanks for posting. Sweet ride. Lunar Rock for Rocktober.
Rock on!!!
I live in Jersey, but once I’m ready to get my Toyota, I’m drivin down to buy from this guy. All the reviews are too good.
Hey John! That would be terrific man I’d love to work with you. We do quite a bit
of business with NJ :)
What's the difference between a 2016 4runner and a 2020 model? Push start and 30 thousand dollars
Haha your an absolute pleasure to watch. Just got my Lunar Rock TRD Pro allocated to me. Very excited
Are you enjoying your purchase?

Hello Jeff, can you please let me know how tall is the 4Runner TRD Pro, from the ground to the top of the cargo rack? Wondering if it fits inside the garage.
Thanks!!!!!!
78.5 inches with the cargo rack. Fits in my garage with less than an inch

Great review Jeff. Thank you for all the time you spend on these video reviews. If I lived in NC I'd be going to you for all my Toyota trucks!
I'm hanging onto my 04 4Runner Sport 4.7-liter V8 until Toyota comes up with a redesign. If it's not impressive, I'm going to get a Ford Explorer ST.
Thank you for your video, i love 4runner, if you would please make more, that would be great
We just bought one today. Great video thanks
How does the color look in person
Jeff how does the Jbl sound?
I really like the 4Runner and would get one but the MPG's kill it, especially out here in Cali where gas is overly taxed. I know, sucks to be me.
Everything in California is expensive
Off road those boards hanging down like that will get bashed up pretty quick. Some real rocker protection would be nice.
Is the lunar rock light blue or grey? Or bluefish grey? Hard to tell on screen.
why are some TRD pro 2021 the badge i saw they are not blacked out? i thought it's should be comes to all TRD pro?
Great video Jeff! Can the rack be removed?
I was going to buy another Lexus RX 450H, but now I want one of these. I need advice people! Excellent reviews buddy.
I don't trust navigation does it come with paper maps?
TURN DOWN FOR WHAT! This was very helpful and you are hilarious 😂
Keep up the good work I love the honest reviews!
Why can't I find No TRD Pro Models at my local dealers? Do I have to order it from toyota directly?
dang was hoping to see some headlight shots w the led's
This guys subtle jokes are f###ing awesome hahah
Would be great to have some interior colour options. Too much black these days outside of the Limited model.
Great vid ...the tacoma has the best jbl system in the pro line up imo,less space more sound.
Is this 4runner still available?
Also can you add a few options, pull out cargo tray and center console safe.
We love you man as much as we love Toyota 😂
Hahahahahahaaaa I appreciate the love! Have a great weekend
Personally, I’m not a fan of the color but that’s just me. As far as the vehicle, that thing is awesome!
Your not alone this Color is Horrible . Primer Code
Hey Jeff, you said this has LED daytime running lights? Are you sure? I believe it has halogen running lights and halogen blinkers. LMK. I just ordered one Jan.8th it should be here this week. Thanks John
Why won't toyota make the headliner and pillars black in the 4runners? It bothers me so much i'd buy a Tacoma instead lol.
You’ve Got Mail , F-O-X!!! That killed me.
Does the 2021 Pro have an ambient air cooler for the trans or has it been removed like Tacoma and Tundra? Those of us that tow in summer months need a true tow package with ambient air trans cooler.
Why do dealerships always put steps on an off-road
Was thinking the same thing. Moronic
Does the back seat really fold down completely flat? Thanks
Take my money RIGHT NOW, JEFF! Take MY MONEY!!!!!!!!
Is the black badge on the back default on TRD Pro? From what I could see on the website, TRD Pros seems to have chrome badges at the back.
Hey Jeff!! Any idea how many of these Lunar Rock 4Runners will be made? (or how many Army Green were made last year?) Thanks!!
Jeff, can you help us decipher the shipping label on the front windshield. Does it indicate actual production date, ship date?
Hey Jeff Im over in Rocky Mount and looking ..I was wonder if the TRD Pro and Venture the same ground clearance?
Yes both are 9.6 inches :) Rocky Mount in the house!!
My local dealer is selling one for 15K above sticker. Total cost is 75K USD crazy
Amazing. I'm so obsessed with this Lunar Rock colour it's not even funny. Was thinking of waiting for a 2022 model to see if there's any new body improvements and better MPG but at the same time I'm worried that turbo's, etc might jeopardize the bulletproof longevity of this current engine/transmission. Besides it would go perfect with my $SPCE licence plates. Any advice ?
Much appreciated man! Could you please demonstrate the lights on a 2021 4runner?
Did he say "throw dow for what"?
Lol. Epic
Nice paper maps to infotainment segue! Great video, thanks!
Trd pro looks good in any color 😍
No sound test again! Really want to hear that 15 jbl premium speakers 🔊
Hahahaaaaa I will be happy to do a sound test. In the next couple weeks. I can’t just use any music because of UA-cam copyright policy. I will have to come up with my own music that is not copyrighted. That is why I haven’t done it yet.
@@Toyotajeff maybe you can test it and let us know your thoughts if its better than the previous jbl systems that ppl have been complaining about.
Nimaai108 This is the same JBL system Toyota has had in the 4Runner for a long time
@@Toyotajeff old ones had 12 or 14 speakers the most. This one has 15 speakers and 1200 watts system.
@@Toyotajeff it may make it a bit more tedious, but you could download some public access music to your personal device to play through the vehicle's sounds system.
Hey Jeff, question: how much is the OTD for this trim? Are all dealers mark this trim up $5K?
Is there a possibility where you can show us where all the 15 speakers are in the JBL system haha One more question I have a 2016 Toyota forerunner SR5 is the Apple CarPlay touchscreen system retrofittable on previous models?
I love all 4Runners!!
Are the new “fox shocks” on all models or just the trd pro?
Fox shocks + 1 inch lift on all trd pro trims
Stoked for the redesign
Hello Jeff am Nosakhare Okunhor from Nigeria nice job bro you the best👍 I always enjoy watching you car reviews please sound the horn of the vehicles u are making a review on because I always wonder how the car horn sound trust me man I put that into consideration if I want to buy a car deuces.
Hey nice to have you on board watching. Sure I can do a horn test as well on vehicles. Great suggestion
super useful video, thank you

How can we get this vehicle with a black headliner?
when is Toyota going to have the sensor on the back to open the back hatch
did the '21 4runners ever come with full black interior? i dont like the half tan half black
None of the 5th gen do.
@@chrisd5383 thats a damn shame. Thanks for the reply boss man
It's a Toyota it sells itself!!!!
Why does the 4 runner have rear disks and the tacoma has rear drums

Hi there yes that is definitely true. It will be somewhere in that range it could be more if you drive more conservatively
@@Toyotajeff any use in waiting for 2022? The Highlander is beautiful but not “rugged good looks”😉
Made in Japan too, where all the best Toyotas and Lexus are made.

Love the truck. Love the color. Hate the price!
Ya. I just got a 2021 4Runner TRD Off-road Premium for $40k. I can’t justify $50k or more for the pro lol
Omg Jeff you crack me up I love it! 😂👍👍
Lunar Rock is too sea foam green, IMHO. Cement for the win!
Jeff, i want that truck!
What’s new, the color, that’s it!
Where are the 15 speakers located?
Just got mine and will be adding videos of headlights and driving impressions soon!
Cody Macdonald nice!

5 speed trans is a bummer. Get with the ZF-8 speed, bulletproof.
