The Toyota 4Runner is the Off-Road car of the people. With a reputation for being bulletproof, it became the off-road car that defined the SUV. We cover its humble inspiration- the Toyota Trekker, the low power, but indestructible, rock dominating first and second gen 4Runners, and the Modern Luxury SUV off-road monster it is today. This is everything you need to know to get Up to Speed on the Toyota 4Runner.

I miss my 4th gen, I occasionally cry about it in my 5th gen.
Me too
Why?
same
3rd gen for life
@@jasonblaha8918 2nd gen for life
This is probably my favorite series on UA-cam
Same. So well produced. Perfect balance of great info and humor. Love Up to Speed. We need to nominate them for whatever awards they potentially qualify for.
definitely agree, and seeing the appreciation of toyotas i'm really hoping to see an upcoming tacoma episode!
OhighO Skater man
Oh for sure… sad the boys don’t own it anymore… I hope I’m dead wrong about that.
He’s right about them being indestructible, my uncle has a 1988 with 300,000 miles and it still running strong 💪
Volvo: Are you challenging me?
Idk can it beat my 1986 with 600,000+ miles?
@@egle7837 Yes...yes it can
Those are rookie numbers for 4runner
hydrolife tech he doesn’t use it as much anymore he’s got a newer one now.
First car I ever learned to drive in 11 years ago was my mom's old 1992 4runner that had 400,000 miles on it before the transmission went out. Engine was still strong. These things will literally outlive you.
Actually got lost in that conversation and actually cared about the homies kid problems 😂
nicholas osborne i was curious at what they(he) never were to speak of again.
I assume they fucked.
Everything we need to know to get up to speed on my dad please
lol, yes pls
#justlikemydad
You need to do one on the Suzuki samurai.
Just like dad always wanted #justlikemydad
Mike Arredondo yes yes yeeeeeeeeeees
So Toyota single handedly brought the SUV trend into the light with this car
Toyota stays underrated.
they start the crossover class with the rav4, and i think their are suppose to be launching a yaris pickup so new class again
@@mikhailgonsalves7821
I want them to make a RAV5.
A cool looking, diesel-hybrid, off-roader, with seven seats or something.
GODDAMN IT TOYOTA
براہمداغ You’re going to be waiting a lot time for that sir
@@chriscarguy I guess Toyota highlander fills that roll. Albeit it doesn't come in diesel.
Anyway, i think Pajero sports 2020 is amazing for now.
Now, I only want some company to make an electric SUV with a motor in each wheel, and a big diesel generator in the hood.
It would probably cost way too much. But it would still be cool to know that it exists lol
LOVE my 3rd gen, SR5! Other than basic maintenance, I've added the Rough Country 3" suspension lift/level and 31" Wrangler MT/R Kevlar reinforced sidewall tires. So far, I've very carelessly driven WHERE EVER THE FUCK I PLEASE, with ZERO issues. Closest I've ever came to being stuck was 21+" deep (on 31's mind you), in the middle of the softest, muddiest, cornfield---I ALMOST crawled to a stop, but just before it did, I finally shifted into "4L" & pushed the "diff lock" button for the 1st time since I bought it, started cutting the steering wheel from side to side, and inched my way back to solid ground. The 2nd greatest moment I've EVER had in a corn field. 😂🔰 edit: 2002, with 295,000+ miles
Sweet
“At the drop of a hat you could disappear into the mountains, JUST LIKE MY DAD” 😂💀
Yes
What happened to your dad ?
You need help! lol. I’m thinking a Golden-doodle for those walks on 3rd street promenade or Venice canals.
That got dark real quick lol
Ikr 😂
The phone call skits are seriously the best thing since "Up to Speed".
it's so random i love it
#truth
As a wisconsinite and a 4runner owner I feel proud
As a californian that surfs, and really wants a Hilux Surf RHD. I envy you so much
I love my 3rd gen 4runner it’s unstoppable and never breaks down, still pulls hard and runs silky smooth at 270k miles seems like having another 270k miles on lifespan
I love the side story....I hope it all works out. That was some good acting.
mixflip what acting... am tearing up here., he should do something about and stop hiding
I wounder what happened that night
Shabu
@SA - he met Kevin Spacey at an Epstein-organized charity fundraiser and hasnt been heard from since
Acting? What acting?
These editors are pretty much gods.
Shredder -- You actually think this goof uses editors ? With all his 12 year old "humor" and cuteness ? He seems to think its about him and his amazing presentation
@Frenzied Unicorn Productions fair enough
@Phil Mccrevasse lmao
@@stevejette2329 lmao ok karen
Lol
Came back and rewatched this two years after I first saw it and I can't believe I missed the fact that they used footage of the 2nd Gen when James was describing the 3rd Gen.
They messed up hard and blew past the best gen
Also no mention of the 1kz
You’re officially my favorite channel after your conversation with your pretend brother in-law! 😂😂😂😂
i fucking love this guy

I would like to see Up To Speed | Celica in future episodes!
Milion sub special
This was awesome. I’m the original owner on the 87’ 4Runner at 4:09. Sold it to a friend who turned it into the monster featured before selling it again a few years back. Love my 4th gen these days and can’t picture life without a 4Runner.
“Taking the kids to a soccer game...on a fu#%ing a mountain!” 😂😂 This is some good stuff. Excellent writing and...wait for it...I even learned something.
This is THE best edited car content on the friggin internet
Austin Higgins watch regular car reviews
FACTS
Savagegeese is also SUPER great.
That story was heartwarming 😢 gave me the feels
Grizzly Garage I can relate!
I’ve got a third gen with 460k miles on it, it’s built like a tank! I’ve hauled, gone mudding, climbing, everything. It used to be my daily driver before I got my Rav4, I still keep it around as the fun car.
I like the video bro.

AND THE CORVETTE
On his dad!
It's confirmed boys he talked to his dad and met him at Xmas 🎄 thanks to all the comments!!
I went to school with a kid who's father owned an 87 with a lift the motor is currently at 700k.....right out of school I bought a 97 4runner she's currently at 370k
Edit: not to mention the 87 is still pushing 35 inch tires like a champ!
It's nice not having a car note isn't it?
I freaking love these videos they are always entertaining and funny as hell lol
Those Toyota dealers went full brokeback mountain.
There is a reason why it never fails.(spoiler alert)
BECAUSE IT IS A GODDAMN TOYOTA
Toyota, let’s go places
Toyota, let's go places 😎

I have 2 diff gears in my hand that fell out of my 4Runner, your wrong
Malachi Bergstrom I’m calling the cops
I just got an 85 4runner sr5 from my step dad, she's a Michigan truck so she's a little rough around the edges. but for 230k miles, she runs like a beauty, 5speed manual with the 22re, she's awesome
The skits are the best ! The edits are dope af ! The knowledge dropped here is the best !
Did anyone notice that donut went from like 240k to 400k in like a couple weeks?
junglejawa its the dad jokes.
yup... and I love it.
For every 1 dollar for 1 sub, he would legit be able to buy his Lamborghini by now
We noticed! Thank you so much! We love you guys!
This channel is getting the attention it deserves
Grew up in and ended up driving a 4runner as my first car. we ended up putting over 300k miles on it before we sold it to another kid who is still driving the thing. can confirm, the thing never needed anything besides basic maintenance.
I had a 1997 4runner lifted. With the v6 and that stock widebody kit. Loved it!! Miss that thing!!
Got a 98, thing still drives amazing and never ever leaves me stranded. Toyota tough💪
*Holy tangent episode Batman*
Dudes pleeeeeeease do a real 240 vid not just a 9 facts
Good sugestion
S E C O N D E D PLEASE
They did in the 370Z video
We might revisit the 240 in the future ;)
Donut Media Y Y Y E E E E E E S S S ! ! !
seriously though, it's awesome that you guys listen to your fans.
The original 240 vid isn't bad. It has great production value & is highly informative, props to whoever made it.
I don't mean to speak for everyone but, I know I personally just want one in this new Up To Speed format
Love my runner 242k and still feels new!
I LOVED this video!!! You guys are awesome
I've been a Ford guy as long as I can remember had Rangers and Broncos also f150s but to change it up and do something different I just bought a 2005 4Runner and I don't think I will ever go back . I swear it can drive on a dime as well up a hill . Smooth like a camery but can go off road like a Ranger. Can't get much better than a 4 runner!
My 2005 4runner is the best vehicle I’ve ever Owned sadly lost her on a trail
Dan Manthe This sounds like fake news.
@@danmanthe9335 maybe you are just shit at driving?
Ben A probably changes his oil every 10,000 miles
@@danmanthe9335 you shouldn't be driving.
My wife owns a 1997 4Runner Limited with more than 300,000 miles on the odometer. Everything and I mean everything from the power door locks/windows/seats, moonroof, rear window, A/C, heater, power antenna etc all work and are original. Powertrain is all original as well. We live in the rust belt and the under body is better than cars I've seen that were 5 years old. Believe it or not she can pay cash for a loaded 2018 LX 570 but she won't even consider an upgrade because her 4Runner keeps on chugging along. True story
Right on man. I'm driving an 05' Sequoia with 260k miles, still runs like a dream and not a single big issue. Only real problem I had was the O2 sensors went bad (after 250k miles). Toyota is honestly the foreword in reliability
Nice! I'm still rockin my '96 4runner. Everything except the moonroof and rear latch work great. Welded the top shut and hold the back w/ a bungie :). It's my daily driver still.
No way the frame is still clean I you're in the rust belt unless you keep that puppy cleaned in oiled. Only flaw to these yotas, terrible frames.
Only 390,000 miles. Come see a Toyota Hilux made for Africa terrains and Safaris they easily go to million miles. Those made for America are not made for very rough terrains.
@@otitisjeje9928 i believe that a friends dad in el salvador has one and he says he has almost 900k miles on it
Disapeard in the wood “just like my dad” burhhh got me dyyying with laughter 😂
So cool you did a segment on one of my true loves of my life, my 2006 4runner Sport. I even love it more than my bucket list car, a 2000 Porsche Boxster. Reliable, dependable, cheap to run, dependable(did I say dependable?). I just did a 105K mile check over at the Toyota dealer. PASSED! Even the digital diagnostic found no issues. I'll never be without one.
This guy always looks like he's fighting a fever.
probably drinks alot
Michael M alcohol
Probably cause he yells alot
Hookers and blow 🤘🏼
“Just gotta ride it out.”
WE NEED AN INITIAL D UP TO SPEED
no
Initial D is for weaboos who cream themselves over poorly animated drift cars and then claim they know the Japanese culture.
Shona No it's about so-bad-it's-good Eurobeat, knowledge on driving and the cars themselves, and if you like Japanese cars then why shouldn't you watch it?
TimothyCow23 I’d prefer an “Up To Speed” on the AE86, would be better. Also not much of an Initial D fan.
Drift Rai Getting knowledge on driving from Initial D is about as effective as getting knowledge on physics from Wile E. Coyote. I like Japanese cars, it's my favourite of all markets. But just because I like them doesn't mean I'd need to watch it so I can jizz over a fucking hatchi roku. Some of these initial D fanboys are beyond ridiculous. They'll say shit like, "Oh yeah it's called [Japanese name] (English translation) it's a very popular technique."
Like why the fuck do you even need to bother? You wrote the entire sentence in English, bar one Japanese word, but you wrote the English translation anyway. Are you just trying to cater to Japanese speakers? Nope, because all they'll see "jibberish, jibberish, familiar word, more jibberish". You're not catering to them, you're just trying to show off to everyone else. "Look at me everyone, I know the Japanese word for it, I am sooooo smart!!!"
Initial D fanboys are awful. If you wanna watch it, watch it, but don't fucking parade around like it's your adopted culture.
Each one this videos is better than the last one you are awesome donut boys
Just found this channel, funny, but still give you lots of real useful info
You have thee most unique presentation style. Your gona be famous...

Grammar Nazi thank god someone else said it
Thank you.
As soon as I drove out, 4Runners - 6 of them!
This is the best car related content on youtube. I frickin love this!!! keep it up!!
Love these videos keep them coming!!!!
Good video my man...I love your sense of humor dude!!
Do the ae 86
A Corolla. How fucking fun.
0:39 So the 4Runner was fisted into existence...now that is something I truly did not know! lol
Just got my first new car! 2020 4runner trd off-road!!! Absolutely love it
How is it man?
At 4:09 when he's talking about the independent front suspension how it makes it more number but shows a SFA climbing lol
good catch, it's actually this guy's 4runner, an 86 that he converted to SFA: ua-cam.com/video/FcfnCdnvjSw/v-deo.html
yea hell no ifs makes it alot worse for wheelin i got a 3rd gen 4r broken cv boots like crazy fucking lower ball joints breaking and its a big thing in the 4runner community to do a SAS because ifs is shit
@@maxplzak2615 I have an 87 and I really dig the front axle as it is. I wheel it pretty hard on some soft rocky dirt and I've never had any issues, but I don't do any big rock crawling, which is probably why I don't miss the sfa.
Up to speed with the Ford focus?
This!!
I've been asking this on every single up to speed..
focus? why? escort cosworth or something way more interesting, hell i'd rather even see the "contour" or a lumina lol
The only time youll see focus and speed in the same sentence
fightmeirl didn't the escort become the escort.
Up to speed on the Toyota AE86
匚卄丹れ匕工匚口 YT there are like 2 models no
It sucks
Its a Corolla a boring car. And the fucking anime is shit.
Verti Dirty Birty dayum dude never hate on the 86 its a jdm legend
Eddy GT86 is not a corolla thats for sure meanwhile the AE86 has debuted in America not as these two brothers known as Trueno and Levin but,as Corollas.For those who never driven them,its casual for them to say its a boring car.Its more than a car if you want more than just pure speed.
I can't stop watching your videos!
Thanks for changing the sponsorship thing to the end! 👍🏼🤟🏼
Hey that's my car jumping in the intro sequence!
Sweet! Thanks for letting us use it! DM me and I'll send you a shirt!
RyanS oh yea 😂😂😂
Nice! Has to be a good feeling! 3rd gen owner here, but I haven't jumped mine...yet...lol
I used to hate 4 runners because this one chick at school drove it but then I saw her boyfriend supercharge it and do a burn out in the Pizza Hut parking lot
Glint Eastwood excellent
That's valid
Cool story bro
No that’s the end really i didn’t like her or anything she was associated with except for the Toyota
@@glinteastwood9396 sounds like you were bullied lol
The mileage mentioned on some of these comments is truly inspirational. Hopefully I will get similar mileage out of my 5th gen
My dad had a 3rd gen Hilux Surf, and when he bought it, 2 of his brothers got ones as well. Went through some crazy climbs with them together too, my dad even put an 18-inch sub in the back. ONLY gripe with them is that they can roll over pretty easily because they have a high center of gravity.
Also with that tailgate, you could get an option with a spare wheel on the back that you'd open to the side and you could still flip down the back, there's another trim level that came with a sunroof too.
They even had a little light on the dash that would tell you when the turbo started to spool :)
I miss ours, when it was imported there were two jet skis above it, so the roof wasn't perfect :/ found some Japanese money in it though :)
We occasionally saw the new owner, he loved the thing to death.
how about its older sibling? the Land Cruiser and its variants?
Snoop Doge I haven't watched yet. Did he mention the Trail Blazer?
DrFuNK
4:27
A N A R C H Y it was (and still) reliable car before the 4runner was introduced, my dad still drives his 2004 Land cruiser with manual gear
Basically jeeps but shit and overpriced
I've had a 88, 91 and 92. They're badass. I can see why someone who never experienced the toughness, reliability, capability of the 1st or 2nd gen Toyota 4x4s and the 20/22R would see it as just another suv. Old Toyota 4x4s hold their value extremely well and people swear by them. They're the shiznit.

Just got a 3rd gen 4Runner and I can’t wait to hit the trails
I love mine, I had been wanting one since 2015, and finally got it last year. It was worth the wait
Do suzuki samurai/jimny, it's a legend
Hahaha so true
i agree with the LJ, SJ, samurai, jimny saga please @donut media!!
Salvador Maño If im not wrong the samurai was called a jimny since the start of production, but in other places it was called samurai, and jimny means something like "go SUV-ing" in japan if im not mistaken...anyway i want one and will buy it one day
Blaž Benčič yes i know, also chevrolet selled samurais, also called holden drover in australia & maruti gipsy in india, if u like the samurais i got one, check out for "hummerinator" here i youtube
Salvador Maño i will
Do an Up To Speed for Corvette
I’m in love with my 3rd gen, just picked it up a while ago and it hasn’t had a single issue
Mine looks like the one jumping at 4:55 .it looks exactly like that 93 with 4 inch suspension and 3 inch body and 35 inch tires, roof rack etc etc. Cool video
WE WANT COROLLA AE86
Obama Fan it's coming very soon!!
Obama Fan boring cars, AE86, more boring cars, GT86 that's not even a Corolla
Mr 7K5 i mean why the hate though,its a joy car and definitely a good 4 banger than you cant bang
Donut Media omg YES!
Obama Fan i just sayd that but I WANT IT 2!!
Well this episode was unexpected to say the least
yeah i know come on we haven't run out of cool cars yet, were not too doing a video on JUST a 4 runner
Up to speed is just about that, giving you knowledge about cars you don't know much about
It was pretty interesting
Don’t get me wrong I still loved this episode!!
Yeah, it's also pretty wrong. These truck are awesome, but this video had some pretty bad infom
Got some of your generation dates and pictures messed up but still loved this episode!
dude as a trucker, u guys make learning shit fun, thats the problem w schools. im from the class of 2000, didnt keep going to college n here i am truckin lol..kids stay in school!
but i really appreciate u guys!
Up to speed on the Toyota Corolla
yeahhhhh!!!!
do honda prelude next if you can
THIS IS LIKE DRUNK HISTORY 😂😂😂
😂
But for cars 🚗😂
It so is lol
more like, cross-faded history
😂
Stumbled onto this
Love this!!
You funny.. You a funny guy
Thank you!! 🤗
My man you need to do the Dodge Challenger
If you've done the 4Runner, can you also do the Land Cruiser? In New Zealand these things are THE 4x4 to take off road. They absolutely demolish. And are indestructible. Love them.
Never thought I would own one of these things and now I love it lol. It’s lasted 230k miles and it’s in the shop right now for a new rad and water pump
Thanks for the confidence in looking to buy one. You are fun. Flannel will, nor has never been in style
Another really solid addition to this series. I never thought that anyone could make me sit through nearly 12 minutes of 4Runner history but damn.....well played. I'm looking forward to whatever you guys cover next.
Also that subplot with the Toyota employees was hilarious.

I just learnt about the RallyCross Celica. Pretty cool and thanks to Mr Loud Speaking John Davis.
They basically already did one
Cool video. My 3rd gen has 150k. Never even had a hiccup. Love it. 3.4L 2wd elocker 4.10 gears from a tacoma. Tons of mods. Leather, much more. No rust super clean
This is your dad. I'll see you next Christmas son. Great vid btw!
CoachSteve4u It’s time
A couple days
did u end up visiting him?
Can u plz do the Dodge Challenger/Charger next?
Espen Edvarsen yes!!
Yeet
Lmfao ew no
Yes^^
Yusssssssssssssssssss
now you gotta do the Tacoma.
As much as I like the Tacoma I'd rather see a Dodge Dakota
Earl Rogers Dodge is bringing back the Dakota?
Earl Rogers Time for me to get an upgrade, I have the 99 Dakota sport 5.2l V8
Earl Rogers you must drive a Ford
Earl Rogers Look man I’m not a big fan of Chrysler either even tho I drive a Dodge lol. The only reason I have my truck is because my old car was falling apart and my relative offered me his truck for a couple hundred. I would like to have a different vehicle, but I still like my truck and will probably drive it until it dies
This video is hilarious, keep up the good work James. Just joined the toyota family with a 06 tundra. Love and wanted a 4runner for a long time but need a truck.
I watch bc I love your videos and knowledge. I'm also a simple person, I hear Rex Orange Country AND IM HERE FOR IT
Love my 88 4Runner. It’s got lockers front and rear, 2” suspension lift on 32’s, 4.88 gearing, 261 engnbldr cam and a new motor. The thing rips. Can’t be stopped
PLEASE DO A SAAB VIDEO ❤️
john reis SAAAAAAB ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah! Donut always teasing with SAABs in the background :D
they totally should
Nä, Volvo 740 Ååååka böttt!
Saab or Volvo pls
Still one of my favorite videos on youtube! Freakin hilarious!
Just got the 4th gen, 08 Limited V8 4WD and couldn’t be happier :)
We have owned several Toyota trucks over the years, and currently have a gen 4 4runner and just put a deposit on a 5th gen off road premium I never knew the story behind how this SUV was created. I also remember seeing Treckers back in the day and it's sort of neat to now know the back story on those also! So thanks for taking the time to make this very entertaining video.
Please do a Land Cruiser video !
My grandparents gave me a 4Runner SR5 back when I was a kid and I still have it!!!! I never thought this thing can also be my toy!!!!!
I love how these shows have mini stories that go on while giving a history lesson
