I drive a 2003 4Runner with 106000 miles. I’m second owner. It’s clean and in excellent condition and in my opinion is as good as any $60,000 vehicle out there. I take very good care of it and no plans to ever sell it. 4Runners are the best.
Richie from Boston! I've been following u from the beginning, man. Since well before the great banning and BS. I know you'll read this and be like, "Oh great, another sub who thinks I'm cool," and go about ur day, but for what it's worth, u had a very positive influence in my life- at a time when I didn't have much else to hang onto. I couldn't be more grateful for your persistence, perseverance and fortitude, for real. I'm very excited that you're doing what you're doing!! I'd love to have a reason to own a truck with a snorkel, btw. 😁 Let me know if you want to traverse the Platte or Elkhorn Rivers in East Nebraska. Mucho Fun-o, in Spanis!,En Ingles; Much love, brother. -AJ in Omaha
1988 4 runner with the rear window that rolls down into the tailgate and opens like a truck, 5 speed manual transmission.........Best Ever!! Sold her to a buddy and she's still going strong!! I don't like the hatchback or the door on the back, I want a tailgate on my trucks! I don't miss banging my head off the roll bar but I sure miss that truck!!!!
You've spent a lot of time on your truck to make it just like you want it... Who cares what the new one looks like... You know your's inside and out... Have a good night Calm One🤗🤗🤗
I have never had a truck and will likely never want a truck but, dang, Richie, when you talk about them you get even me interested in what you’re saying.
Whats with all the bots? GO AWAY! 🖕🙄 As for the "new" Yota... .. It gets a no from me. Looks too much like a soccer mom wagon and look at that departure angle. 😂 I know.... MOD IT. The Black Beast is DEFINITELY the better choice. But in a way i kinda like the old school 4-runner's with the drop down tailgate and the removable roof. But then again....... Richie, your Yota really makes me think about giving up on my TJ. Lets trade. 😉👍 Hey.... It was worth a try. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good to see we all survived the eclipse. 😉👍 Stay Safe Brother! ✌😎
That looks pretty sweet. I wouldn’t mind having one of those. I’ve never been disappointed with Toyota or Subaru. I would sure like to hit the road and visit some off the beaten path sites. I have a lot of places on maps to go see. Utah and Montana to see petroglyphs and megalithic sites. 👋
Richie, this 6th Gen 4Runner looks intriguing but I'm more than happy with my 5th Gen Limited 2017 4Runner as I know the after market parts already fit it well. I still have to install my AFN front bumper which will make it much more adapted to off road. Already did the Pro lift kit with Ironman 4x4 & new Raceline Ryno Bronze Cast Beadlock wheels with KO2s. Your 5th Gen looks outstanding with all the mods!!! Impressive, for sure. 😆
My girl had a late model toyota suv. Her kid had a very low impact collision in the front left bumper. Looked ridiculously trivial, but they totaled it. Claiming the frame was buckled, and they would have to dismantle the car to repair. They said it was due to safety and reducing impact danger for the driver, so they mede the frame softer 😂
I actually like the new 6th Gen 4Runner body style over the 5th Gen, but the boxy look of the 5th Gen really wasn't my cup of tea. It's one reason why I went with the 4th Gen 4Runner, that and of course the optional V8. The 6th Gen styling looks like it took inspiration from previous various generation body styles such as the rear windows looking like those found on the 1st Gen, the more sloped and rounded body lines looking like they were inspired by the 4th Gen with the front and rear of the vehicle looking similar to the 5th Gen. With that said though, it would be a big L if they don't consider an optional V6 model.
I just got the '24 TRD because it's the last year with the V6 engine. No thanks on the '25. I predict problems, at least the first couple of years on the new 4 cylinder engine :(

The one with the bronze wheels is the TrailHunter. Too bad they only come with a turbo 4 banger. No more V6. That’s a mistake. Toyota can keep this new junk they’re coming out with lately.
I’d stop to help ya (RFB)…but Toyotas aren’t normally on my list. (Jeep XJ built like a tank)…honestly, I prefer Toyota drivers to the “new jeepers” any day
That’s a good looking 4 Runner. It wasn’t an accident. They do it to try to get the hype up.
No shit…

I greatly appreciate your truck! Not just for its' awesomeness but for the adventure you've shared using it.
As someone in the automotive journalism space I can say that "leaks" are mainly done on purpose. Not always though. Some can be genuine.
I've got a 2000 4 runner 267,000 miles and still running strong.
do you live in it
They're tanks. I love my 02 Runner.
Anyone else catch on that the moon has zero to do with the eclipses? #RAHU2024
You do know that this wasn’t an accident whatsoever, in any way, shape or form. AT ALL. This is to stir up hype. Toyota was behind it. 100%.
It’s still considered a leak. Anybody knows that….
We call them Chelsea tractors here in the U.K., owned by rich or upper middle class mums for the school run & they never go off road in them.
We got them in the hoity toity areas of the Philadelphia suburbs and Main line areas...
L O L. 😅
Forbes is Main Stream Media
So glad we all survived the eclipse! XD
Your truck is the Best looking truck ive ever seen bar none
🤩
The RFB mobile
Supreme dope
Accidentally on purpose lol😂

❤ they certainly should’ve looked to u Richie for the redo of this TRD pro forerunner❤
Thanks, I really wanted to see this early. I'll try to get a 5th gen....
Thanks, brother awesome video👍👍👍
I don't like the rear tail lights they look too small
On my YT feed right after your video was Toyota USA YT site with a video of the 2025 4 Runner reveal.
5th gen powertrain will be better no matter what they do. Ill keep my 5th gen thanks
2024 probably outlast 2025 sixth gen.
Still lovin my fifth gen 2010 Limited 💕 thank you Richie !
Pretty sure I saw 1 in moab last week. It was covered in that hide a tarp and was camouflaged in white and black . Dude was getting fuel
You've spent a lot of time on your truck to make it just like you want it... Who cares what the new one looks like... You know your's inside and out... Have a good night Calm One🤗🤗🤗
Thank you Richie 👍
Love you Richie your a solid dude bro🙏🏻✊🏻 thanks for your service and knowledge
Good job Ricky! Quick work! 👍😍
I have never had a truck and will likely never want a truck but, dang, Richie, when you talk about them you get even me interested in what you’re saying.
Whats with all the bots?
GO AWAY! 🖕🙄
As for the "new" Yota... ..
It gets a no from me.
Looks too much like a soccer mom wagon and look at that departure angle. 😂
I know.... MOD IT.
The Black Beast is DEFINITELY the better choice.
But in a way i kinda like the old school 4-runner's with the drop down tailgate and the removable roof.
But then again.......
Richie, your Yota really makes me think about giving up on my TJ.
Lets trade.
😉👍
Hey....
It was worth a try.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good to see we all survived the eclipse. 😉👍
Stay Safe Brother!
✌😎
Good stuff. Thanks! 🧨

Back window looks like the family huckster, I like it
Engine sux!!!! They can keep there Turdbo. Bring back the V6! I aint buying this spaghetti engine mess, EVER!!!!!!!
You have the best vehicle ever. P E R I O D !!!
Interesting. Toyota, Jeff reviews has a Trail Hunter coming out soon. 🦅
Your truck looks nice exceptional
starting to look like a suburu outback
Looks good but you all know they’ll have that kill switch built in…so I give it 1 ⭐️ for looks only
looks like an updated version of the 4th generation
Exactly....the 4th gen was the worst gen also. In terms of looks that is.
My girl had a late model toyota suv. Her kid had a very low impact collision in the front left bumper. Looked ridiculously trivial, but they totaled it. Claiming the frame was buckled, and they would have to dismantle the car to repair. They said it was due to safety and reducing impact danger for the driver, so they mede the frame softer 😂
Definitely but it back from the insurance company!
Jailbreak!! ❤Your truck 💯. The new truck is just a glorified grocery getter. Lol
Nice, they made them look like the Suburbans in a lot of ways! 😂😂😂
Holyshit your Runner is a beast!
A man can dream... shoot im trying to afford a 3rd or 4th gen if poss...
A hybrid on a water crossing seems risky.
Doug DeMuro has a review of it in person! Toyota doesn’t care obviously.
I like the old school trucks much better i dont know what this looks like maybe something a kid build from lego
totally agree
Your rig is looking good
What oil change intervals do you recommend?
Wooops!!! Nothing beats letting someone ELSE be the guinea pig for new mods on a new generation for a vehicle. :)
Thanks!
Some dude got a video on the truck on TRD JON channel. A quick walk through of it
Your 4 runner is sweet!!
Does it have the kill switch we have heard about??

Well spotted bro
The market moves pretty quick in this space
Yea it only took 15 years. Wth are you talking about
@@johnathoncastro was referring to aftermarket upgrades. The Bronco already has a decent aftermarket array of options.
I just got the '24 TRD because it's the last year with the V6 engine. No thanks on the '25. I predict problems, at least the first couple of years on the new 4 cylinder engine :(
Good luck getting 35's on that with those wheel wells.
One of the best imports.
Gas tank is on the drinker side so the exhaust is on driver.
Yours looks better!
Not bad, looks like an 80's Isuzu. Joe Isuzu would be very proud. Keep your 5th gen.
You know Forbes will be not invited to the next few Toyota events and will not get any images in advance 🤣
richies isnt even a 4runner anymore with how modified it is haha. looks cool tho.
Yours is a Bad Ass Beauty, RFB🤩😍
what kind of facial and voice recognition software are they putting in these rigs? are they gonna track my carbon hoofprint?
$90,000 Yikes.
Probably a turbo Briggs Stratton
All the big Toyota influencers that were flown to California got screwed by the leak

Will you be getting it or sticking with what you have?. Very nice though 😊
Definitely done on purpose
Gen1 or Gen3. That's it.
How did you squeeze 403hp out of the magnuson? I used your videos to help install my supercharger 🙏
tune it, dyno it and repeat.
Richie what are your thoughts on the new Land Cruiser ? Would you buy one 🤔😉
It looks sick tho
I’ve heard there will only be a hybrid option!? Anyone know if that’s true?
Another pretty vehicle you'll have to tear apart and makeover so you can use it... 🤷♀
Is it the same size
I just want a manual 5speed Hilux diesel.
Accidentally released...ok
Do you own the software in that ECU??? I'll take a 100 series all day long

Marketing stunt
2006 4runner 233,000 and the i-Force V8 is going strong.
Land Cruiser over this
That is nice, but I would take your truck over it any day!
So many bots here wtf 😮 ^^^^
Made in Japan or moving to Mexico?
yeah it was an accident ... ha ha ha ... too funny
New shape looks shite.
Looks weak!
Overpriced junk
"accidently?" you are not that gullible, Right???? ( Paused and Thumb Down )
PLANT
Junk
So Disappointed. Ugly truck
