[@icare7151]

The ❤️Good & 😡Very Bad Just purchased a 2021 4Runner Limited, Blizzard White, Black leather, 3rd row seats, auto running boards, Vin JTEKU5JR0M5858032 had 11 miles purchased last week, 300 miles to date: Our 4th 4Runner The ❤️Good & 😡Very Bad, Positive ❤️Full time 4WD 3 modes: 1)4WD Hard Surfaces, advanced full time 4WD 2)4WD Transfer Case Lock HIGH GEAR: Loose surfaces ONLY: Mud, dirt, snow, ice, sand (NOTE: can lock on the fly at any speeds, wheels straight) 3)4WD Transfer Case Lock LOW GEAR: For MAX Traction Loose surfaces ONLY: Mud, dirt, snow, ice, sand This mode also has Selectable 1)Advanced Traction Control Selector 2)Down Hill Control Selector NOTE: vehicle must be stopped, wheels straight, brakes depressed, in Neutral) ❤️Good Trunk Space ❤️Awesome suspension & drivetrain on Highway driving; corners and cross winds. Living in Colorado Springs going up NORAD Road on Cheyenne Mountain every day handles better than our Lexus RX450h. No experience yet with off road, and on road snow and ice. Will update when experienced. Our Prior 2005 4Runner had same type of full time 4WD system & suspension. The 2021 Limited definitely has a more refined and updated version. We do miss the superior fuel economy and performance of our 2005 4Runners 32v V8, comfort of front seats and significant higher overall initial quality. ❤️Safety Technology Nice Updates, will report as we get more experience with. Major Unacceptable Initial Quality Issues & Design Flaws: 👎1)JBL15 Speaker Premium Sound System, sounds like every speaker is fried regardless of settings, No surround sound setting, did they install the correct main unit? Is the amp nit working? Our 2005 sound system is superior and as a sound and recording engineer the sound quality is totally unacceptable. Reported issue to JBL case number 07156115. 👎2)INTERIOR LIGHTS Huge SAFETY Problems: -😡2nd row passenger overhead light a total joke, way too dim and no passenger reading lights. -😡No 3rd Row overhead lights or floor lights, trip hazard at night when getting in & out of 3rd row seats. (My Parents 1977 Ford station wagon 2nd & 3rd row jump seats had superior overhead lighting with individual reading lights!) -😡No backlighting for mirrors or dash dimmer switches, huge safety problem at night trying to find switches -😡Poor backlighting on window & lock switches and door handles etc. Way too dim and some only partially light up. Unacceptable. 👎3)Front Parking Sensors -😡No adjustment for distance -😡No Front Parking Center Sensors, totally dysfunctional, unacceptable, worthless. Parking behind a pickup with a hitch and ball and another parking instance of a low center post revealed this design functionality flaw when parking For the front end of the vehicle. The cost for the additional front center parking sensors is insignificant on a $52,000 vehicle. What are we missing here?? 👎4)Missing Top Windshield Tinting 👎5)Missing Front USB Charging Port (can’t locate 2nd front USB charging port, as advertised “2 front USB ports, on for audio input/charging and the other charging”) 👎6)Defective Driver Side Headlight Huge shadowy spots, likely some of the LEDs are not working or debris in lens or design flaw 👎7)Fog Lights Beam aimed too low & does not have enough depth or width. Clearly from the parts bins, appear to be from our Lexus RX450h! 👎8)Front Seats Quality & functionality -😡Drivers seat has bizarre quality defect side dip in bottom center padding/springs. -🙁Passenger seat no lumbar support or height control -😡Front Seats Low quality stiff leather, lacking padding and support, unacceptable for this top of the line price point. Our 2005 4Runner we traded in with 176,000 miles has superior front seats in comfort, support, quality and overall functionality. 👎9)Automatic Running Boards -😡Squeak loudly, Rattle and Shake when extending & retracting. -😡Don’t extend low enough -😡Not wide enough -🙁Can’t install front mud flaps (The automatic running boards came with vehicle, definitely not worth the $. They are “cheap”, tinny & dysfunctional in all aspects especially for Colorado Rocky Mountain Driving in the Winter and off road. The overall unacceptable low quality & functionality of the automatic running boards detract from the vehicle at this price point.)

[@mattg8787]

why is it that my 97 4runner has the same towing capacity of 5k and the 2020 doesn't have as good gas mileage

[@sqmus]

I just got my 2021 4Runner. Where can I get the cargo liner shown on the no 3rd row model? I don’t see it on the accessories page on the Toyota Website.

[@eseskay99]

AT 1:39 Christina said something that triggered my memory. I use to own the first gen 4Runner 1990 and my girlfriend and I had a great time with the 2nd row seats folded down. Those were the days.

[@vpattt1619]

No offense to Jeff but I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Christina, keep up the great work!!

[@markbrown4080]

Christina should do the reviewing in a thong 😜

[@andyham6094]

I’ve got the sr5 with the 3rd row. Definitly comes in handy and isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I fit back there comfortably and I’m 5’9. Obviously tall people will be uncomfortable but average sized adults should be fine and definitly kids and teenagers it is perfect to just have that option of a 3rd whenever you need it.

[@FredAndersonToyota]

Great analysis! We are super glad you’re part of our channel

[@youtubeitisisntit7333]

Is Third row standard on SR5 or it is an option? Thanks.

[@JustusScottJr]

Way better than trying to fit two kids in the storage space without the 3rd row and much safer.

[@officialyasir]

Great review! Finally a review that shows all the seats folded and unfolded! Thanks! 👍

Hi Christina ! Watching from Asheville where I’m part of the family plan ! Lol. Recently traded my 2019 Taco for a 2021 4Runner TRD off-road in classic silver. Best package available in the 4Runner so far. I’d say it’s the best SUV available anywhere! I even owned a late model Rover (LR2 HSE) that can’t touch this! No contest -game over

Good video. Thought for a second I accidentally bought the only 4runner with seats that didn't fold down since I accidentally bought a third row edition

I got distracted and couldn't concentrate at first so i had to watch this video the second time just to understand the information about the 4runner.

Ah, I remember the 2021 4Runner like it was 10 years ago...

[@alexanderrosales7675]

Bro they made the Fj40 for 41 years from 1960-2001 ,that thing was manufactured 2 years before my dad was born and didn't end production until 8 years after I was born. 10 years is nothing, they also made the F series straight 6 engines from 1949- 1992 that's 43 years! Those production years are probably older than your current age lol.

[@Kiss__Kiss]

LED exterior lights?? Nice, it only took Toyota 10 years!!!!! (5th Gens).

Great job Christina. A little nervous at the start of video but only natural. I could not make a video with this quality. 4 Runner not really in my future:(. Watching from Westchester Co. New York. I think I like the night shade. Great job. Let's Go Places:)

[@swaemy]

Watching from Minnesota. I like the design of the 3rd row. I would probably choose it for flexibility. You don't need it, until you need it. Good job on the video.

Good for you

[@shb9641]

One thing you didn't show is that some of the seats slide back to alow more leg room in the second row. Also the second row seats also recline back a little bit. The last 4 runner you showed the seats are offset in the second row and one side of the seat is back further than the other. There are handles under the second row ro allow the seat to slide back

Watching from just 100 miles away in Lexington. The only thing any of those 4Runners need is a set of step rails. I'm about to buy a 4Runner, solid black SR5. It's amazing the resale value of these things. I don't really have a need for 4WD, so the standard SR5 is plenty loaded for what I want. I'm just glad someone is still building SUVs on a truck frame.....with V6.....and rear wheel drive.

[@DJSlimzilla]

Just traded my 18 TRD OR TACOMA for a 21 SR5 4Runner and couldn’t be happier. My family fits great now. BTW the led headlights are so much nicer than the older style I had on the Tacoma. Can’t wait to get it out to OBX this spring.
