I actually like the looks of it. Looks fun to me.
thank you toyota for still producing a real body on frame Suv in a world were crossovers are taking over
Love this guys off road reviews.
Great Review, makes me wanna go have fun in the snow!
Picking my super white up tomorrow!
4Runner = glock. Simple, timeless, works!!!
Hola, tengo una del 2005, SPORT edition 4wd, es un excelente auto. A pesar de sus años conserva su poder, su confiabilidad e internamente sus acabados se mantienen como nuevos. Una excelente calidad.
BRING THE ARMY GREEN COLOR!
Looks like that's going to happen now.
best off road vehicle for the money
Would quickly disagree, and so would 99% of the other jeep owners out there lol. Not doubting the 4 runner, but the FJ was better.
DaShnipa sorry but the 4Runner is all around better than the FJ I also owned a Jeep one will never make that mistake again. The FJ had its good point but had some issues like very poor visibility just like a wrangler.
Cody Earnshaw but for an offroad enthusiast and not someone who uses their offroad intended truck to grab groceries the wrangler and the FJ will quickly shame a 4 runner. Its all about usage. If your buying a wrangler to commute 100 + miles a day you've bought the wrong vehicle....
DaShnipa I understand the point about commuting with the wrong vehicle. But stock side by side off road the 4Runner can hold to the others easily. I feel confident about this because I have drove all 3 and owned 2.
I've driven all three and own 1. That one is the only one with a solid axle and the only one I've seen go into and out of places the other two can only dream of. But that's what i bought it for. If i wanted an occasional fire road and dd... I'd get a taco.
Hard to beat Toyota for off road adventures! They are 2nd to none in reliability and hold their value better than most. The 4.0 is a bullet proof design and I would rate it up there with the 3.4 for reliability but better performance. Would rather have the 4.0 than the new 3.5 that is going in the new 4Runners!
Redman the FJ is appreciating
I need this now
.
EVIL Co. how to be a dick 101
I have the Cherokee TrailHawk, I wish I got this instead.....
I bought an older r50 Pathfinder for work and off-road. I wish I had bought a 3rd or 4th generation 4runner. I've always loved the 4runners. Amazing vehicle.
lol bad move dude
The Cherokee's good too. It's just not...DA BEST!!
one thing for sure You can't be wrong with TOYOTA||| no matter what.
Worst vehicle that I’ve ever owned!!! Jeep/Fiat is junk
Ryan Douthit, the kind of guy that puts it into Drive, THEN puts his seat belt on.
They need this with their 5.7 v8 or even their last gen's 4.7 v8
that 4th gen 4.7 is the best motor they've made in my opinion. and I'm even coming from the bullet proof 3.4 liter on the 3rd gen
+Sam Bishop That's why Toyota needs to put the v8s in their limited models.
+Joseph Long they probably have to meet federal regulations as far as a across the board average mpg for the company so they may not be able to even if they wanted. Idk.
Their 1VD-FTV 4.5 twin VGT V8 diesel would be nice too.
+Jack dN That would be great for U.S. models.
5:10-5:20 Got that right, my 2000 SR5 has over 400,000 kilometers and still goes no problem
Eye Of Gaming Stick with what you have it's far superior to the new 5th generation version. Replaced by 1995 with a Trail Premium, big mistake, new ones are poor quality, incapable and reliable. Nothing good to say about new version!
I would agree to disagree...the FJ was as good, and possibly better as a pure offroad vehicle...but was smaller and had less carrying capacity. Both the FJ and the 4runner have their strong suits. As for the jeep, a highly capable off road vehicle no doubt, but "better", I would disagree. It all depends on what you want your vehicle to do. I won't go into details for both, but each have their niche in the market.
Nit-picky #2
It’s 4WD guy...not allWheel drive...every time I hear him say that it made me cringe
As a car reviewer you’d think he would know the difference...
Patrick Lawrence I was coming here to comment that as well
Being nit picky, but the key slot has scratches all around it. Do people not have fucking eyes when they stick the key in the ignition? Pet peeve but i digress.
Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing!
I was just thinking "well somebody drinks and drives" lol
FloppyBit I disagreed with your comment until I saw it myself. That was actually bothering
FloppyBit iialaw
He said Big, Beefy Knobs ....... :)
perv. Lol
childish...smh.
lol gotta lighten up haha!
I like it but I disagree with your statement about visibility. I test drove on the other day and the front windshield provides poor visibility at best. The other points of visibility were fine but I wouldn't say the 4runner has great visibility. I am basing this off of the visibility in my car, Subaru Crosstrek. I do like the 4runner over all though, they are just so darn expensive.
I want one so bad.
I did call AutoNation to buy one just two weeks ago. They wanted $15K extra dealer profit on top of MSRP for the one they had in stock. I went somewhere else and bought it that day. Guess AutoNation really thinks very highly of the vehicle.
Beast!
“Let’s just shift this into neutral to engage 4 low” *shifts into reverse*
I caught that. Lmao
"this is a throwback to ALL WHEEL DRIVE vehicles"
Is that so?
BTW, the Limited has a much stiffer less body roll than the TRD. It's got the special suspension that self adjust and on turns, you can put a coin on the dash and it wont slide around. Also for both models, say your in rush hour traffic, simply move it to the manual mode and yes, 4runners will hold that what ever gear you want which is great. Since alot of these automatic cars will shift regardless. I shift the 4runners to say 2nd or 3rd and keep it their. so that on stop lights and stop and go, the transmission doesn't shift so often reducing power, response and acceleration. In that mode, you 4runner is shockingly quick cause you've only allowed it to go up to 3 gear in bumper to bumper. thiird gear gets you easy 40 mph. And in rush our, even keeping it on second makes it less burdensome on the transmission and you're not lugging it to get power and stomping on the pedal.
News that matter Which one is better for city/highway driving and winter? Limited or Trd Pro?
Well that's why she is drinking the petrol you driving in 2nd gear .probably redlining the shit out if her
350hp would have been better options. I've 2010 limited edition it alright.
2:14 AWD?
😍
Hi, awesome review. I have a question I am about 6'8 tall, which midsize luxury suv offer me great fit? BMW X5?
+gary zhao Suburban perhaps , good luck with your car search brother.
Does anybody know why this trucks are so hard to find in dealerships? I live in Redwood City, CA. And I tried 3 different Toyota dealers in the area and they do not have them. I am very interested in one of this beauties.
tonymtlwpg hey man, then I guess this truck is definitely not as good as it looks, California and Canada should have this trucks everywhere. Going for a used X6 under warranty for the same money.
When I bought mine last year I was told that Toyota was only making 3400 of them and that was for 2016. I think its even lower for the 2017 year. I ordered mine and it took 9 months to arrive.
five speed??
I've seen a whole lot of 4Runner videos by now but I still don't know what "mogul" means.
4Runner for Life!
where's the push start , I know it's an off-road vehicle but where's the sport buckets to keep you in the seats instead of these flat retro seats from back in the day where's the 8 speed automatic or a beefier V6 with more torque and more power nice truck but very disappointed with the non upgrades
turbo 6 totally agree with you, the key looks and feels sooooo cheap, again, it's a big and rough truck but those things you mentioned are correct.
+Rwcdude 2118 test drove one at my local dealer and the thing was so slow no torque no power damm near had my foot threw the floor board !!!! ask the salesman my wife has a Jeep Cherokee Limited 2015 the thing threw you in the back seat with little over 300 horsepower and lil over 300 in torque v6 might I add great for trail riding getting stuck in mud and to get out of different obstacle courses the salesman replied well it's a Jeep this truck Toyota 4Runner is not meant for Speed . just going over rocks slow and going through the mud slow I need power and torque for all terrain so I walked away from the deal
Chrysler products last about 15 minutes until they break. Speed is not the reason to buy a Toyota, longevity and resale value are. Show me a running jeep with 1 million + miles...
duffdog as I mentioned before, I live in the Bay Area, and it's almost impossible to find this model at any Toyota dealership. It looks aggressive, powerful, and extremely reliable... I guess this is just a wrong idea I made up in my mind. I'm staying with german vehicles for now.
This car has enough technology problems as it is, why add more things to go wrong? Toyota can't get the basic technology right to begin with.
magaria
So to be a "proper" SUV, it can't have a 4Hi/open center diff range, eh? Because it will never be used on the highway, right? Because proper SUVs have never had options to have open center diffs before, right?
All Toyota needs to do is put the 4.6 V8 in it and hte 8 speed auto.
the b biddim This "car" needs a complete redesign and the quality put back in. I bought the Trail Premium and it's a total P.O.S..
@@blackdiamond5015 no, it isn't. Stop whining
@@MemphisMojo15s Have been a loyal 4-Runner owner since 1998. The 5th gens are a complete and total POS. I've driven one for 4 years and can't believe I sold my 98. You obviously haven't spent much time around them...
Ryan makes a significant mistake by saying that this is an all-wheel-drive vehicle. It is a 4-WHEEL DRIVE vehicle, NOT an all all-wheel-drive drive vehicle.
There is definitely a distinctive difference between the two, and it is shocking that he hasn't done research on the difference between AWD and 4WD.
They should have called this the FJ.
Miss FJ
doesn't come with keyless start?
No, but is available as a dealer installed option
Or limited it comes stock
A beautiful rugged machine ever!
if toyota could somehow find a decent motor, this thing would be awesome. But until they drop that ridiculous 5 speed and 4.0 v6, the GC is the choice
2010V6RAV4 reliability is fairly pointless argument at this point, all motors are pretty damn good. The Toyota motor just doesn't cut it anymore, the 4 door wrangler is now faster....let that sink in...a wrangler should only be faster than a huffy ridden by a 7 year-old, that's it. The camry produces almost as much power and TQ as this motor, and weights allot less. It's an "ok" motor, and then combine it with that dinosaur 5 speed, it's out of date
Does it really matter whether the wrangler is faster in this class of vehicles and the Camry isn't even an off roader.
Rob Kahla get a GC it's much more reliable than a 4 Runner and the GC's resale value is through the roof, that 4 Runner won't be worth anything in 3 years
guy proulx I like them. I try to avoid anything Fiat nowadays after the debacle of the new Wrangler launch, but the GC seems to be very nice. I wish Sergio would keep his grubby fucking hands off Jeep, he can fuck up the rest of Fiat if he wants.
Won't be worth anything in 3 yrs? GC more reliable? Just curious - What planet do you hail from? 1) Check your numbers.
There is truth in the bitching about the old 4L and the 5spd. It would be nice to get some better returns for mpg but until those 8 speed trans and the software that run them get better, you're better off with the ancient 5spd. The 8's have trouble deciding which gear they want, the top gears are just overdrives.
As far as the resale values are concerned, I don't know what to say other than you're wrong. I just totalled my 2014 Trail with 58K and insurance appraised it 4K less than purchase price, brand new. Doubt a similarly equipped GC would get the same. Probably close to 10k difference.
BRING BACK THIS SAND COLOR!
So, Land cruisers, land rovers, Mercedes G class etc are not "proper off road rigs" because they are full time 4x4? Loss of credibility, buddy.
Tim Goodness well he did say he enjoys big beef knobs
Too funny!
Land Rovers and Mercedes G breakdown too much are for soccer moms.
Big beefy knobs ;)
No way in hell are you going to get 17 around town. I own the TRD and Limited model. My wife and Both have never seen anything above 13 MPG in town for the Limited and 14.5 for my TRD. We don't abuse the trucks, accelerate smoothly keeping the RPM below 3000.
Highway is dependent, depending on weather, load, driving style and how much gas you crank in. My TRD gets..about 26 MPG for the 1st half of the tank, then down to 17mpg from half to Empty. Limited first half gets me 32 and latter half 16mpg . But a good feature about the 4runner is that the tank is huge! if you fill past that first click, I'm able to fit 28 gallons from the empty line on both. I was able to drive 1000 miles stopping only twice.
News that matter you have to be driving it hard. I get 19 in town and 22-24 on the highway. Huge tank? I have a TRD off road 4 runner. Tank size is 20 gallons. I can go 320-330 miles on a tank. I don’t know what kind of after market stuff you did but your points are not correct when it comes to the 4 runner.
TrickslerTV bro i wish to buy 4runner trd pro.Did you have any problems with your car?and how strong your car held its value?thank you for your response
big beefy knobs
Miss FJ ride much less tiresome than this... On long drive this thing tired me out. Offroad only rig.
Toyota never quits.
fyi this dealership asks 10k over msrp for these and brags about it lol
Toyota sucks for not offering this color anymore. It's just a color, guys, it's not like you have to redesign the whole thing. You have people who want to give you their money but you want to create a class of 4Runner snobs.
BRING BACK THE CEMENT COLOR!
That creepy laugh towards the end when he compares it to a Cherokee.
And is this idiot interchanging "AWD" and "4WD"? If this truck has no open center diff option, then it's a "4wd" rig, which I think would be a mistake on Toyota's part.
ill keep my grand cherokee diesel. not impressed at all toyota... :( big knobs eh...?
Very slow for a 4.0...
Go read Toyota's advert on TRD Pros... they said it not me: "Turns heads as quickly as it climbs hills" and that its "born from lessons learned" from Baja... Last time I checked that is a race. I have had one for a little over a year now and can tell you that Toyota set the throttle response way to low making it very slow and somewhat annoying when passing or going up hill on the highway. Its almost like a Prius engineer got their little hippy fingers on it somehow... So I stand by my statement, for a 4.0 it is SLOW especially for a race inspired vehicle. Good off-road tho.
While I am on things that suck about the 4Runner TRD Pro I will add the following: slow (already established that), crappy head and fog lights, the home screen, lacking support for android devices, fake air duct on the hood and by the fogs, no smart key or keyless entry (I actually have to put a key into a hole and turn it), no memory seats. Oh and before anyone says this is a rugged truck and certain luxurys are expected to be missing, it has Facebook and pandora. Oh, and its really slllloooow.
I got this thing called a pedal commander that is plug and play. Solve my issue with the gas pedal.😎
It isn't built to be fast nor quick. It's a big, heavy SUV with an outdated 5 speed auto. It definitely isn't built for Baja racing either...lol. perhaps the 4th gen is a better choice especially with less weight and the same great 4.0 V6.
@@slick230 I have the xterra pro 4x with the 4.0 5 speed auto that thing is very fast. Nearly the same block ? Maybe the a simple programming would help
wish toyota would update the interior, you pay top dollar for the vehicle but the inside just looks cheap.
Roman:D If you want a better interior you should try a Lexus GX which is the same as the 4Runner. They can't go all out in the interior looking like the Lexus which is their luxury brand. I prefer this interior keeping it simple. You pay top dollar because of how well it is built for off road, not for the interior. Were driving a vehicle.

Throw back..yeah I'll say no push button start and whats with the front end, epic ugly. Rest of the vehicle is pretty sweet as you'd expect from Toyota.
+David Thegan push button start is gay
needs a V8
sounds like an expensive, outdated, pos toyota...
