WTF 😮

I bought a 2024 TRD Off Road Premium in April. This was the first brand new vehicle I’ve ever owned; my vehicles tend to be 10 to 25 years old usually. I’ve loved the 5th gens since I first saw them in the winter of ‘09/‘10, but always felt that I had more responsible places to spend my money. Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to buy a new vehicle at least once in the color of my choice with all the options I selected. I wasn’t impressed with many things on the newly unveiled 6th gen., so I went ahead with purchasing a ‘24. I’ll be 40 in a few months… perhaps this is my version of a midlife crisis. There weren’t any other models that were exciting to me in 2024. Most of my previous vehicles have been full size American body on frame trucks, SUVs, and cars and I felt strongly that if I would be dropping tens of thousands of dollars, I expect it to be body on frame. So to answer your question, I’m one of the first time 4Runner buyers in 2024. I’m still thrilled that I got a 2024 while I still could. Inventory in my area has dwindled to virtually nothing as far as new goes since production is now over and the 2025s are realistically several months away from being on dealer lots.

I don’t think there’s one like this left on the market.

I won’t miss the poor handling, horrendous nose dive, top heavy feeling, rust, and cheap build quality.

I got a 2005 Toyota sequoia with 194,000 miles and still running strong . I got it brand new with 5 miles . I have been the only owner . I love my Toyota

Got a 2023 CPO ORP in Lunar Rock. My dad had a 4Runner when I was a kid and I always wanted one. I decided to get one now in my favorite color before the 2025 comes out. It’s a well made tank that I adore. Will hand it down to my son.

It's so sad... the Japan version has rear seats worthy of the Price and Crown name (heated & vented rear seats, power shade, climate, grab handles, etc). I is almost Lexus GS+ level of quality.

Hey PRN great Video. I'm a 45 y old single man bought my first 4Runner this year in June: 2021 TRD Off-Road Premium with KDSS. When my 2008 Dodge Ram was hit and declared a total loss in February I was so discouraged to have to move up to something newer....I really hate all this new tech and wanted none of it. You couldn't image how excited I was to find this gem new/old vehicle it's perfect in everyway for me. Use it around town, camping trips and off-roading. I only drive around 10, 000 km/year and do so like a Grandma on Sunday lol and coming from a 5.7 Hemi V8 and a 5 speed automatic stuck in 3rd gear so I find the gas economy on the 4Runner refreshing.

Why would anyone complain about the Frunk space? I guess you have to find something to complain about. SMH

I think the touch screen buttons are awsome it’s just my opinion but I think the whole car is cool either way

Simple reliable repairable solid is what many of us want. Should have come out with a new model instead of changing runner. If they sold a stripped down hi Lux pickup in the US it would sell well

It’s the only vehicle you can buy that you know you can keep for a long time and it will be reliable, dependable, and hold value. Tech doesn’t make anything better it’s just more stuff to frustrate you that can fail over time. If you only keep a vehicle for a few years at a time you can have anything and be happy with it. This is for people willing to spend more money to get a solid product to keep for the long haul.

Traded in the 2019 TRD OR (Barcelona Red with 115k) for a 2024 TRD ORP (Barcelona Red) can you tell I like red😃love the 5th Gen 4Runner. Sad to see it go.

old school quality

Sorry but of course they will use more plastic, all the regulations around the world require less consumption, so the car needs to lose weight to achieve it, I talked to several Engineers of Daimler once I was working at a Tier1 supplier

Raise the price lower the quality and expect sales?

Enjoyed your video, I absolutely love my 5th gen 4Runner.

Glad I have a 23 TRD off road premium

I tried to love the new Land Cruiser and the new gen 4runner but after owning my 2016 4Runner for several years and not having any issues aside from strut replacements and then feeling the quality of new vehicles today, It just makes me love my 4runner even more. Absolutely getting another 5th gen to enjoy my worrying free transportation. Nothing is more frustrating than having a car that’s giving you unexpected trouble. I rather know im spending more on gas than a surprise bill getting something fixed later. Screw that BS and time at the shop.

I love the 5th Gen 4Runner. Sad to see them ditching the V6 5 speed for modern tech which will fail. It doesn’t need all the bells and whistles. It’s known for its simplicity and reliability. 4 banger with turbos will blowup and all the hybrids are just lame. I’m glad I got my naturally aspirated v6.

The last one is just an opinion

I picked up a ‘23 last year on November 30. I didn’t want any parts of a ‘25. No regrets…. Embarrassed to say I haven’t even put 3,200 miles on it yet but I have changed the oil once. I’m retired and have a few vehicles and motorcycles.

6th gen is ugly. I also truly do not see the "antiquated" interior of the 5th gen

wish i could find one to trad with my jeep gladiator rubicon from quebec if some one knows thanks

Thank you for the review! There are currently no xdrive 40 videos in Germany, your video helped me and I decided to buy one! Thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Looking at buying a 2018 long range RWD model 3. I’m in Alberta so how will this fare on the -20 to -30 days we have here? Thx

in the last 15 yrs, what has changed other than the price? nice vehicle but.....

Everyone is getting the 2024 because the new 2025 sucks

I bought a 2023 Tacoma PRO before they made the switch to 4 cyl turbo and love it. Yeah it doesnt have all the fancy tech but I'm ok with that.

I love the digital clock. Easy to find and easy to adjust. Sick of looking around the big screen for the time.

I have a 2024 TRD ORP that will go to my grave with me. (Underground color)

They catch fire which is the most annoying part

It's true. All odd numbered generation 4runners are the best.

The 5th gen 4R is the pinnacle of Toyota’s kaizen philosophy. I love my 24 ORP.

We purchased a 2024 4Runner pro in underground color because we believe it’s the last great simple reliable Toyota made today. The quality and resale are among the best for the old dinosaur and we love it because it feels like a tank!

4 : the price is horrible

parks like a typical honda owner lol.. get the recall before it catches fire

Did you just say A VERY AFFORDABLE TRUCK?

Idk how many times you want that shifter to shift for you till problems start

Ah boo ho.

When a 12 year old does a car review.

I bought literally the same car from the FBI at an auction the tow capacity is actually 9600 lb Ford is the master of Towing it does make it pretty stiff riding but I bought it to pull a travel trailer and it does a very good job. If you get one of these enjoy it and please do not drive with fog lights on when there's other traffic around.

We bought a new 23 4runner Limited. We want it for the long term reliability and because we live in a rural area on gravel roads. So lots of snowy roads and muddy roads. May take more gas, but gain that back on reliability. Did not want 4 cyl. turbo engine. No issues with it for the year and a half we've owned it. Simply love it!

Bro i want to buy this bmw e38 7 series can you help me out

Compared with Volkswagen Atlas

How is that Hyundais fault for Canada having no tracks

Nice video. I'm 75, and this is very high on my list for the next, and probably last vehicle that we'll purchase for our last car.

Complaining about the same things since this car came out is also annoying

MY 2020 PACIFICA HYBRID ROCKS! THE BEST HANDLING AND RIDE NOTHING COMPARES! AND I AM HARDLY USING ANY GASOLINE JUST THE BATTERY... LOVE IT 32K MILES NOT ONE ISSUE SO FAR.

Rip revving on a cold start
