    The issue of the 4-cylinders is not power. 4Runner's people do not care about power. They care if that engine can arrive to 300K miles without major interventions.

    • @justinshankle
      @justinshankle 28 днів тому +14

      Not worth the control imo, I don't watch nearly as many random reviews anymore because they are less enjoyable. He should build a custom location for filming where he has the control but also better lighting and acoustics. His dungeon is depressing and I can't believe someone as cool as @DougDeMuro would film there.

Although we bought a 2023 highlander xse for sticker price, and then this year in January a 2024 Tundra platinum for $7000 off the original Sticker, the dealership had, cause it took some negotiating. But I kid you not, both times we drove each vehicle out the same day we purchased. This was my experience with Lia Toyota in Colonie NY

    Doug - The power and performance of the drivetrain are NOT the issue with any of Toyota's new lineup. Its the lack of simplicity and question of reliability. Enthusiasts want to be able to fix their car on the side of the road, not be forced to go to a dealer. I get offering these i4/hybrid drivetrains, but not even having the option of a NA V6 (or V8 in the Tundra) is the difference between multiple people I know choosing American despite being big Toyota fans.

    Currently have a 2017 TRD Pro in my family. Wasn’t crazy about the photos I first saw but this color changed my mind.

      Still looks like a refreshed 4th gen IMO. I like our 5th Gen better. Especially with some off-roading mods and a rack

    Toyota is just out here killing it in looks and tech! 4Runner (HEV), Land Cruiser (HEV)/GX550 (HEV?), Sequoia (HEV), Tundra (HEV), Tacoma (HEV), GR 86, GR Corolla, GR Supra, RAV4 Prime (PHEV) , Prius Prime (PHEV). Scratches every itch I could think of except for a super car and I couldn't afford that anyway.

    Don't know why manufacturers abandoned the roll down rear window when it is so incredibly useful for long items like lumber and surfboards, as well as dogs. It seems all American station wagons from the 70s and 80s had roll down rear windows.

      Because they want you to buy a full size truck to haul every day items. It's the same with removing the bench seat in the front.... so you have to buy a 3 row suv.

      They ain’t gonna drop like you think. Many of us mature people know that 4cyl ain’t gonna last like the 5th Gen 6. No free lunch. To get that kind of power you will sacrifice

      @@ryanb8736 I suspect not... These new trucks will take a while to hit dealers. Dealers will mark them up keeping them above even the asking price of even top tier 5th gen vehicles. Then any issues the new truck has will make people gravitate to the 5th gen until finally the market will remain from people wanting low stress 6 cylinder 1 million mile engines.

    I've been looking forward to this new generation for a long time but I'm concerned about the motor. It seems to deliver the power and torque but I'm looking at longevity. I'll definitely sit out the first year since that's where most of the bugs are in a new gen vehicle. I wonder what the it weights and MPG, now that it has a 4cyl turbo ?

    My father owns a 4th gen 4Runner SR5 limited and at 140k it’s great and took it off road and love it ! And love the hidden compartments on the truck too 4Runners have been around forever and it’s still hold the value just stay on top of the maintenance and care and can last you a lifetime thank you for sharing this video for those who are interested in the new 2025 4Runner

      4th gens are a totally different vehicle from the 5th and 6th gens. Apples and oranges. It's a disgrace to even see the 4runner label on these things.

    Side profile slightly reminds me of the late 90s Durango. Also looks like it could be a Dodge product from the side as well. Looks good minus fender flares.
