@@MrDW72From what I’ve seen, its actually kinda rare to not see a 4runner hit 250k miles. Def a top 10 reliable vehicle even if you aren’t taking it off roading
@@MrDW72if you dont do any offroading the SR5 is sufficient. You can modify it later to make it off road worthy which is my opinion is more enjoyable throughout the journey as you watch all the changes you make to it 😁👍🏼 id look for an SR5 premium for softex seats vs cloth seats.
The current 4Runner is actually built in a Lexus plant. Quality control is very important. My friend said I should have bought something more modern with better tech. I told him yeah, at least I'll only have to put up with this ancient design for 20 or so years. I figure by the time my 4Runner is wearing out, it will be considered retro and worth a bunch.
It's the Tahara plant. One of the most efficient assembly plants in the world. The workers there need to have 25+ years of experience to work there. In Japan, it's considered an honor.
Got a 206 with 380k miles. Still feels like it has less than 25k miles. Engine pulls very strong. Engine and transmission have become so smooth over time. Feels like a luxury car. I don't think this car will ever die.
I agree about the new generation of 4Runners Ben. I wish that for the new gen they’d put a small but heavy duty V8 in it for more power, I think that’d increase sales
Just buy an old one with a v8? They made a 4Runner with a v8 about 20 years ago. I bought Lexus’s version last year a 2004 gx470. Also when people stop buying electric cars, and they’re stuck with a pile of them… maybe then they’ll understand. Converting to majorly electric cars is a fantasy.
The new Tundra has serious fit and finish issues. I sure hope that’s not the case with the redesigned 4Runner. They cheapened the tundra right out. And cranked the price way up. Very sad.
I have a 2004 4runner with the same v6 there identical btw. It’s at 180,000 miles and is 20 years old as of next month. It’s quiet and runs so smooth. I know what I’m buying next and it’s going to be a 6th gen 4runner these motors are perfect. Don’t believe the hype about the v8 it’s got its own pros and cons but the v6 it’s great. Less issues.
I have the same 4runner. Though i have a pulsing vibration that Toyota put a dynamic dampener on the front differential for. The vibration is still there they say it's normal. Hopefully..
Had my Tacoma that long and it was going strong at 347k until a guy decided he didn’t understand stop lights. Great insurance payout and got the SR5 with TRD trim package, hope to have it forever.
Toyotas been doing turbo 4 cylinders since mid to late 70s too so it's pretty obvious there's only going to be mild numbers affected for the first release years
After this video i’ve confirmed, I’m definitely waiting for the new model maybe around the second year of its production. 4Runners needed an upgrade and they just didn’t fail to impress. I will have to wait but it will be totally worth it. And this is coming from an Automotive Service Advisor from Toyota 😅
I just bought my wife a 2024 trd ofp, she loves it and now I can drive her beater Corolla to work and back which saves my Tacoma’s gas tank for adventures on the weekend.
The comment is very vague you said buy a 4Runner yes we get it. But you didn't say what year clearly the best year would be gen 3 although the older gens had a chance to score a manual transmission and manual windows. Clearly any older 4Runner will outlast you in the long run with proper maintenance
I like much about the 4Runner but as someone who tows trailers frequently, the whacko location of the electric light/brake connection is a deal breaker.
@@burkepete110 interesting, that's good to know. I moved the one on my 4th Gen but that's because I went with a magnetic connection so I already had to modify it. Thanks for your response 😊
Half the reasons you gave were reasons to wait. The engine will have more power and better mpg, the styling will be refreshed not completely redone, and the tech is crap in the current ones. For the money the tech is a joke.
Tacomas now are being built in mexico. Only Tundras and sequioas are built in San Antonio plant because they share the same chassi. I used to work for the plant
Nothing like old simple and practical. I hate the “try to be fancy” cars where you have to take your eyes off the road just to find climate control on the screen.
I got the V8 edition because it has so much more torque than the new 4 runners. And the newest ones coming out now will have the same hp and torque as the V8 had in the 2007
lol you dont need 60 bands. You just need good credit, down payment and the monthly payment. Yea its pricey but you should have the thing for more than 10 years.

I got a Red 2023 SR5 Premium back in November with 9k miles. I like it a lot so far.
Plus the naturally aspirated V6 gives you the option of a supercharger upgrade if wanted
At least the 2024 gives people a chance to buy the non 4 cylinder, I think the 25 will have the 4 cylinder.... 😞

Whats beavy duty? Like beaver 🦫 duty?
Idk, not a fan of that mpg and 5 gears for cruising speed in the highway...
