Doesn't really work

Dsg all the way

Super reliable. I have a 2004 with 210k on it and it runs amazingly well. This engine can't be killed. Honda makes the best engine. I do have a P1457 that I have to figure out, but still runs awesome.

My dad has a 2009 platinum and in the mountains driving around empty it has no power especially when passing someone on the road it drives like a car not a truck

Love the love Kenya sticker

Great vehicle! Just avoid the 2.4l i4 bc my '08 burns oil like crazy haha

Besides the rust Do you think the 4runner was/is better than the xterra.?

I have an 01 sr5 and 08 v8. I'm 6' 2". If the comfort of the 3rd gen is a 7, the 4th gen is a 4. The seat adjustability is bad, leg room is less than the 3rd gen, if i wear a hat it rubs on the roof. I hate my 4th gen for driving more than an hour, but you know, can't get rid of it either.

Got a newer model ;) - 2015 Limited 4WD close to 200k and think it's an excellent vehicle. Use it camping, highway, in city driving. Handles great, parks great. Such an easy to drive reliable vehicle. I would recommend buying older models to friends.

Have you check your Valves with a borescope to make sure its Clean?

i just got an 06' mdx with 95k on it. WHAT A GEM. anyhow its full of cherrios in the back seat and teddy bears. perfect for my family. Ive started replacing every sensor that has to do with engine and exhaust. hope to run it up to 400k

Another car reviewer that says 6 feet tall. Too many saying that to be truthful. Most car reviewers happen to be 6 feet even.

was the clutch actually slipping? at what power level does the drivetrain begin to act up?

I owned a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder and the problems were endless and prematurely unnecessary. I bought it at a Nissan dealership with 30k miles and it was Nissan certified 😮 at 65k miles the motor went due to a malfunctioning catalytic converter that sucked a piece of metal into the motor, so Nissan replaced the motor under warranty, then there was numerous other flaws, fan clutches, axles, fuel leveling sensor, transmission was starting to go out at 120k due to coolant intrusion, stupid design by Nissan. The rear quarter panels started to rot prematurely at 80k miles, got rid of it at 145k 🫡 wasn't a bad vehicle when it didn't break down. But I also owned a 2005 Nissan Murano and that too was a lemon. My brother had a 2006 and 2015 Maxima and both had similar issues. 😮 only my Dad who has a 2016 Nissan Rouge hasn't had any major issues. I have since written off Nissan figuring I just don't have any good luck or vibes from others about them. I've owned 2 Fords and 3 Lincoln's and all 5 were better vehicles especially in reliability 🤷🏽‍♂️ best of luck but I would've stayed with Toyota ✌🏽♥️

The 4k rpm squeal! Mine does the same lol.

My entirely stock 05 2WD with limited slip Diff is suprisingly capable off road in wet conditions. Street tires even.

Although a great idea and design it's execution is flawed and the cost cutting measures obviously apparent for a Japanese product. Nissan had a very tough decade when these came out with various warranty repairs and premature break downs. Maybe if the Xtera was on todays Pathfinder platform it would do better 🤷🏽‍♂️ Non the less it should be very capable and fare better after needed repairs and meticulous maintenance ✌🏽♥️

Just bought one and I'm curious. What should be done to it before I take it on a long trip? Like what fluids need changed and what not. I'm not super used to these gen cars.

And just another BS fluid ;-) the only thing that realy works is cleaning them good by taking off the intake !

Love these cars

is this the same 4runner u bought from that dealer 4 years ago for 9000? The frame looked kinda sus because it was all bumpy. I never trust an encapsulated frame from dealerships

Future insurance get Cosmoline Military RP-342 Is rust prevention spray😊

Should I buy a 2007 limited v6 4wd with only 187000 km for 11000 Canadian???? What should I watch for??thankyou for your response

So many reviewers don't give a good shot of the cargo ability of an SUV. The middle U is for Utility, for goodness sake. So thanks for doing such a great job of showing that aspect. The V6 is nice, but it's a tight fit in the Rav4.

I have a 2004 f150 with the 5.4 in it that i got almost brand new and it has over 300,000 miles on it and it hasn’t had very many issues except the spark plugs quit once but that was the only thing wrong with it.

2:58 how did you do that

I have a 2008 V6 and with 198,xxx miles on the odometer it has been dead reliable (knock on wood). I'm aware of all of the possible issues and by the grace of God I haven't experienced any. Ours has the 3rd row and although it is tight and we barely use it, it did come in handy a few times. That is our road trip vehicle so not a daily driver and I'm think because it has mostly highway miles is why it's been so reliable.

I just sold my 3rd gen not too long ago. I picked up a limited 4wd vvti v8 2005 4runner yesterday. World of difference, better in every single way except exterior looks. At least my 3rd gen was a trash can running on a bad head gasket (2 misfires) for the last 11k miles and I had to keep topping off the oil, and it needed all new suspension, brakes and an engine. Paid 4500 for a pos 98 Paid 4200 for a stupid clean 05 and it's x10 more vehicle Only things I liked better about the 3rd gen was the boxy exterior look and the 4WD lever. I had a blast off roading in it. Very simple and strong southern truck. Drove it up from AL to MI on shitty suspension, brakes and a misfiring engine, then sold it. 315k original miles. Needed too much work. Rear climate control on the 3rd gen comes out from under the front seats btw. Don't try to tow anything with the 3rd gen. Not alot of power. Not even worth trying.

I'm sorry you had to drive that far for a frame. I live in Binghamton NY and then moved to Lexington SC and tried to keep an eye out for a good frame I've been to every pull-a-part from Atlanta to Ohio and I couldn't find a hood scoop nor a rear driver side window until I moved back to Binghamton and found a window at pick-a-part in horseheads, NY and I needed a gas tank strap and I was at Gary's U-pull it and I was taking the strap off and I was like this truck must be from down south because the straps are perfect and like 10seconds later it dawned on me that the frame was perfect and then I started to panic because I knew I had to get this. I was so happy it made me stupid because I didn't know what to do first. Not to mention I only had to remove the body mount bolts and cut off the rear end of it and that was it because the engine was already stripped out of it And got it for $255 not to mention I only had to drive 6 miles and my nephew had a flatbed so we loaded it up on that and drove 6 miles I'm just trying to figure out is it possible to swap the frame without removing the engine from the shell?

Ive got a V8 and your video helped me because I have to move the transmission mount but not the motor mounts because the new frame is a 4x4 V6 frame. I'm so glad I don't have to move the mounts.

Could you just swap the frame without removing the engine? If you can secure the engine with the shell..?
