Stop advertising here!

[@Seashed]

Awesome value, literally last of the old school vehicles on the road. No stop/start BS, no turbo to break, no hunting for the right gear transmission, 87 octane, best in class.

[@Richard-xv7yf]

Probably the most desirable vehicle toyota makes currently.

[@rodneywk1]

It's certainly desired by me. 😁

[@wamps3370]

I have a 2023 TRD Offroad Premium...I say, just buy i!!!

[@DF-ec9de]

Looking at one now 2024, how is the ride quality and cabin noise?

[@DBWeathers1]

Came for a car review, not a long commercial for lawyers. Killed the review. And by the way, "short people" are normal people too. The strap is for closing the back from the inside!

[@jackk8093]

Normal people don’t get triggered by someone’s speech. Only non-normal people get trigger by words that mean nothing. Maybe he should have said average height or below average height, but you also should understand what was meant and not be triggered about words. These actions make you worse than him. His was unintentional, yours was intentional making you look way worse than he ever did. You can gain way more respect with kindness than hatred.

The 5th gen 4Runner is the best vehicle on the road by far. Bulletproof and timeless design!

[@migueldayot3762]

Love this generation of 4runner

[@DejonBuick-jl2fx]

This is a great SUV for the money Toyota is asking for.

[@LeadfootLou]

A solid vehicle for those who enjoy off-roading. Not really for those of us that enjoy driving on pavement although it does retain its value extremely well.

[@SkyChopper]

Bought a 2015 SR5 brand new for like 31.5K. Crazy the 4runner still basically looks the same! Great vehicles.

[@RyanDoonan]

Definitely love the looks of the 4Runner definitely glad that Toyota keeps like look of the 4Runner it is a great look

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

Is it old & dated? Yes. Does it have cylinder deactivation & the awful annoying stop/start? No..Will it last forever? Yes

[@norsemanix2358]

Great points! So true

Me too :) I want to tell my kid that we were that cool…it’s one of the features I love about this vehicle. An old brand new suv.

[@DanQuentinJames]

For sure, it is a good value. Actually, my family has 2 4Runner Off-Road Premuim vehicles (2015 & 2020)...they are bullet-proof. Toyota QDR makes it happen.

[@Shogun103]

Just picked up my 2024 4Runner Off Road Prem today. Awesome!! Get them while they last. Dealer I bought from only had 1 other in stock

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

This gern 4Runner has been around for awhile. I think a lot of automakers are overdoing it with all the black colored options but the black badges signal to everyone looking at it that it's a newer model year.

[@modmatt1]

Everything you said strikes a cord with me - I like that I can take it on the beach and be confident that I can get though some deep sand - just wondering how it is on the highway for those 3-4 hour runs when needed? Steering feel/comfort at highway speeds - is the the engine rpms OK with just the 5 speed there as well?

[@Wreck-it_Ralph]

I bought a 24 trd premium a few months ago. Coming from a 13 tacoma with no options, i love this 4runner. I drive the highway to work everyday and am very impressed with the ride. I feel like im sitting on my couch.

[@MeeMawPeterson11]

Its a nice car if you can get one without a $5k markup. All the Toyota dealerships near me are still adding on a $5k "Market adjustment".

[@gregoryunderwood4121]

Around me, it's a $10k mark up

[@PIEDOODLEZ]

I just bought one this past weekend for $1500 under MSRP for a TRD OffRoad 4x4

[@jimmoore4438]

Still 5K markup around here as well.

[@norsemanix2358]

Wow ! Still markups? So sorry to see this. In CO on the front range I have found some 2023 4Runners actually discounted a few thousand dollars.

[@apa7611]

In my area they got a bunch on the dealership and some are a few thousand less then msrp. Washington state

*KDSS makes this 4runner Off-Road a winner*

[@dbsantanapr]

Did the vehicle you reviewed have KDSS suspension? I’ve read that it’s an option on the Offroad trim, but not standard.

[@rickyaz8640]

It didn’t. You can see a KDSS light when you start the vehicle

[@mikejulson682]

So is the final verdict that kdss is worth the extra 1700 plus ? this one doesnt have it correct.

[@frankieh9233]

so has there been any changes from the 2023 ? ive been waiting for the 2024 drop to see if any changes have been made.

[@oscarcubas9810]

I have 2022 and is the same 😂😂😂

[@joeblack1052]

They are all SR5 packages Including the pro and limited Main advantage of off-road is the kdss which disconnects the sway bar for greater wheel travel off-road and because the sway bar can be heavier it gives a more planted feel on the road. But they are all SR5 with same engine and transmission.

[@joysirseeya2902]

Superb very strong SUV Dear brother ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

[@donwarrington4916]

I owned a Limited and traded it in for a Palisade ... It was a terrible road trip vehicle requiring alot of input from the driver to keep it from drifting and the suspension wears on you after more than a few hours behind the wheel . Theres also no height adjustment for the passenger front seat which for anyone over 6 ft is a problem because your head hits the roof over any dips or bumps in the road ...It's a bulletproof vehicle but you're sacrificing a ton of comfort

[@timalan7406]

95 % of drives are under 20 minutes, so long ride comfort is almost never an issue. Having said that, we bought a Highlander and have no regrets, other than the depreciation will be greater.

[@norsemanix2358]

Unless you need more than seating for 5 it’s an easy choice, 4Runner.

[@royXax]

Towing might also be an important factor

[@jimmyneutron3055]

Chevy you are out of warranty and they have lifters collapsing due to the cylinder deactivation system. Toyota will last you 200-300k miles. If you got money to spare, Tahoe

5 speed works. Why change it? I don't want to come off as a know it all but I kind of am. New transmissions that aren't proven are a really bad idea. Ask any dealer tech about engine or trans updates. Bad news

I took one for a test drive. Almost got hit leaving Dealer parking lot as the vehicle hardly moves unless you mash the accelerator pedal 3/4 of the way down. The things a dog. It needs a 6 cylinder twin turbo.

The annoying thing is that dealers seem to be only buying the Premium models and not the regular Off-Road model. I'm in southern California. I don't want or need heated seats or vinyl upholstery. I prefer cloth seating as it's cooler and more durable. The regular models are as rare as dragon's teeth in the dealerships.

The TRD Pro is a better trim level for the 4 Runner, it's more of a base model vs a luxury or off road

[@user-jm5dw3gm8y]

Not so, KDSS on the Off-Road is better for off-roading. Add more upgraded tires than the PRO and suspension. Result less money more off-road worthy.

[@timalan7406]

@@motogene9367 Like it or not, that is what makes Toyota such a great truck- keeping the same engine for years and years and years without change. Engineers at Ford can't tell you all of the engines they have put in the F-150 over the last 16/17 years. Same with Chrysler/Jeep, GM. They never perfect what they have; just move on to something else. Jeep Wrangler is a far better off roader because it's short wheel base with the axels pushed out to the ends of the vehicle. It ends there for the Wrangler however, and the 4Runner owns every other category. Toyota makes trucks that could compete the the Wrangler off road but, they're not sold in the US and other than reliability they would suffer the same problems the Wrangler does. I like Jeep, I just wish they would fix some of the problems.
