4WD Action | Toyota 4Runner SR5

Compilation of videos

[@jameszettelmeyer291]

Dude! We need more of this! So sick of seeing TRD'S with 35's, 3" lifts, winches, and freakin snorkels. So refreshing seeing an SR5 tear it up.

[@4RTrail]

James Zettelmeyer thanks! We do our best with what we got 😅 Don’t forget to subscribe to support the channel

[@sparksglencoe2037]

I have a gray 19' 4runner TRD ORP and I love this truck, very capable in stock form , which mine is right now. I never once thought that an SR5 was less than capable. I got the ORP because of the extra features. That's all. But in the end, I would have been happy with a SR5 if I didnt have any other choice. Regardless, you can modify any trim if you have endless amounts of money..

[@firebir11]

Sparks Glencoe Your right...a couple of front and rear lockers and you’ve got yourself a TRD Tank.

[@MH-vj4hq]

This dude needs more upvotes, Unfortunately this generation we see more mall crawlers 4runners.

[@Slick_Shot_Sam]

Dude, how many 5th gen do you come across in 35s? I've probably seen 3 so far. Mostly 32s are quite common.

[@NathanWeier]

Thank you for proving you don’t have to dump $10-$30K on upgrades or that you have to have a TRD to go off-road with a 4Runner!!!

[@noctilucent7396]

Ikr!!! SR5 IS THE WAY TO GO FOLKS!

[@dinodouche]

My SR5 rocks anywhere his would do a hundred times better if he just got a little bit better tires

[@RCGJR_]

What!? This is illegal! You can’t do that with an SR5, you need atleast a 4 inch lift, 40 inches tires, bumper/rear bumper cut off and armour on un-needed amount of jerry cans all over the vehicle and atleast 20 LED bars!?!?!!$8:&3@:,!;!4!:!! All jokes aside you killed it with the SR5!! 💪♥️

This is against everything the Taco going gods have taught us! The Horror!!!! 😂😂😂

[@Veyronp87]

shows you how capable a regular 4WD SR5 is out of the box

[@justinhunter6173]

Running an SR5 harder than any TRD on KZbin . Well done 👍

[@dsmith10186]

This is some of the best SR5 4x4 content ive seen on youtube. Keep it coming! we need more of this.

[@4RTrail]

dsmith10186 thanks, I really appreciate that.

[@jonathanwick5331]

GREAT video for those that say SR5 are not capable for off road. SR5 for the win!!!!!!!!

[@MrIMCP]

Heck yeah! A 4Runner doing actual 4Runner stuff. Turns out you don't need a snorkle and fancy seats to have fun after all!

[@teddynaicker2997]

Nicely done! Best part is 2:08 when the atrac kicks in and the front left tire is up in the air. Unstoppable! Way to go SR5.

[@healingvizion]

This, an air compressor, an a winch is all I need. Thanks for posting

[@pureanthony4201]

best 4x4 off roading video so far especially since everything looks stocked lol is it all stock? lol

[@coloradomoto3001]

I just bought my 2015 SR5 yesterday and am in LOVE, I can’t wait to get her off the pavement and get her dirty like this! Thank you for this, great video.

[@simplespov]

Cost ?

[@doginfantry595]

Honey Badger drives an SR5, and he don't give a fuuuuuuuck!

[@MGN01]

Thank you. Bought a 2021 SR5 premium and after watching all the KZbin Channel owners with their TRD Off Road Pros + $20k further investment, thought that my stock version may not be very capable until I saw this!!! Thank you for making my day!!

[@chad9971]

This is exactly what i was looking for. A stock SR5 tearing it up. Reaffirming to me (and my wallet) that this is the vehicle I need to purchase. No need for extra bells and whistles.

[@51Yeti]

I have a SR5 on the way, but because the market sucks in the Gulf South, a SR5 base is $50,000...but a TRD Pro is close to $65,000!

[@chad9971]

@@51Yeti that’s outrageous!! I was able to get a 2017 4x4 for $33k OTD out here in Cali

[@tonymiller8764]

I appreciate this educational video, I purchased a 2021 4runner Premium this summer, it the a-trac, down hill assist. As the other comments state, it's good to see a package like this being put thru it's paces!👍

[@lukasfoster8505]

Thank you for this! I have a basic 2021 4Runner sr5. I didn’t know it could do all of what you showed in your vid. The more you know. Again thanks!

[@JASmith-oy8db]

I saw this video last summer, just before I purchased the same year and trim level you have. It helped sell me on the SR5. I had mine in a lot of snow and ice this last winter, including a few spots that I probably should not have been in. Made it through in 4 low. But I think I discovered the 4wd limits of my stock Bridgestone tires. Putting all-terrain 265/70R17s tires on this summer.

[@brettryan3298]

Very impressive. Just tells me that the SR5 is all that I need.

[@michaellowery4001]

I purchased a 2022 Toyota 4runner TRD off road premium Barcelona Red with upgraded pro wheels and skid plates. Black out Emblems. Upgraded tires BF Goodrich KO2's. Any 4runner is a beast. I choose this trim simply for the day to day driver. I will admit the off road tech is pretty impressive.. so many modifications are a possibility. What's important..we keep the tradition alive. For me there is not a better truck anywhere in the world!!

[@fixedit8689]

Stock 2016 sr5 something special package I don’t recall. Only change was BFG KO2. Goes everywhere I need it to go. Lots of fire foods and desert areas for camping. Just bring traction boards and a shovel, plenty food ,water, a good high end gps with Topo map, compass and a satellite phone.

[@51Yeti]

Liked this video. Have a new SR5 coming in June. I wanted a TRD Pro, but the wife wanted a 3 row, so it had to be a SR5...was afraid that I would be losing a lot with a SR5 since we currently have a Jeep Wrangler X. This video makes me feel better about getting a non-TRD model

[@ding174]

Japanese engineering and design at its best. Why bother messing with a good thing. It came free with the vehicle. 🤔

[@Basshead40]

Yeah...I have a 3rd gen. Put a 3 inch lift on it and be mind fucked. Forget stock. Wanna have real fun.. lift it! 😁👍

[@joskjj3625]

Correction it’s actually Toyota engineering at its best, don’t expect a Nissan,Honda or Mitsubishi to do this

[@willytrouble88]

that A-Trac is freaking amazing! Better than a rear locker at speeds under 10mph hands down.

[@patricklawrence2755]

BRAVO!!!! Love reppin’ the SR5s

[@Offshore1977]

ATRAC is awesome

[@jonkresge]

Very impressive. I was trying to decide between a TRD or a SR5 premium. This video basically just made my mind up. I will take the extra luxuries in that SR5 and the lower price tag.. Excellent job.

[@juandanieltavera6046]

Un verdadero 4x4 de la actualidad.

[@SarasotaTim]

Just bought a 2021 B.Red SR5 Premium. Replaced Dunlop stock tires with the same size BFGOODRICH KO2’s now she ready for anything. Not lifting maybe a level one day. Oh and I got all my interior lights switched out to led’s hahaha

[@swimmer8585]

[@chrislit702]

I bought a 2018 4runner (identical to yours) stock just replaced the tires with some all terrain ones your telling me I can legit hit the trails with it.. awesome!!! I will report back

[@007diego2]

For you, people who are giving the SR5 nonstop praise which, in many ways, it deserves, you have to notice that in several of these obstacles, they put down traction boards in order for this vehicle to get through the hardest parts. Take a look.

[@aredman22]

and doing all of this with road tires. Kudos to the 4Runner and the driver.

OMG!! Street tires? People wasting months searching for the best off-road tires. You should post this video on the 4runner org forum, there many off-road "experts" lol. Definitely LIKE.

[@bassage13]

If you spend a lot of time out here in the desert with dry, very rocky terrain, the street tires will get torn up quick.

[@78ginop]

Or get the venture

[@milyboo123]

Coming from someone who owns a trd off road....you don’t need one. The sr5 does wonders too and all the upgrades will be done your way. Half of the time it’s the sr5 doing more wheeling then most of the trd pros I’ve seen. You’ll end up paying less as well.

[@Escalofrios29]

You can get the older Trail model and it has everything the Trd has and they're like $25k with the off road cruise control and rear lock diff

[@milyboo123]

I just bought my 2020 4Runner trd off road premium and i love it. I took it wheeling and no one thought i could do what the rest of the built trucks could do. I did everything they did but better and i had street tires no Mts or ats. I got this trim because it suited me. The pro gets too much hype. I wanted to keep my KDSS the pro doesn’t come equipped with it. Either way with the extra money you wouldn’t have to pay for a pro, you could use to build your 4Runner your way

[@peteb7992]

Emily :wow ,ok ,i got the 2021 off road premium with KDSS and its amazing stability .. do you have a lift on yours ? I heard you can go 2 inches....do you think its worth it after off roading..?I heard the Articulation is excellent with KDSS ..I’m asking all these questions as i wait for my second shot ...to get the green light from my boss (wife) for fun in Maine. Regards

[@peteb7992]

Think i just answered my question watching “The Side Track”. ..lifting can limit - articulation down travel of wheels. ... so I’m ??? Ha

[@jimren5638]

The SR5 is amazingly capable, thank you for showing us just what they can do. What color is this SR5? In some shots it looks green in others grey. I like that you painted the stock wheels gloss black, that's what I'm going to do with mine.

The magic of A-trac

[@davidwayne9982]

What I'm liking about this-- is I DON"T NEED the TURD ( the TRD- just a play on the sound- I LOVE the trucks- so no offense intended)... because this will easily get me everywhere I'd be wanting to go without all the fancy robotic driving aids that I can't stand anyway-- I prefer driving my OWN truck-- not some damn robot doing it. I think I might get one of these.

[@ggggg4030]

😫 Me, wishing I bought A/Ts instead of touring tires last year

[@PrecisionKing85]

Stock tires! Amazing!!

[@acatl33]

Besides the suspension, off road controls, and interior. SR5 is no different than a TRD or PRO. Still same engine and power.

[@Offshore1977]

Acatl33 and same ATRAC

[@joshuamadread3678]

You can always add a locker, but those are used so rarely might as well save your money 💰atrac is close enough

[@Rooster_king]

Rear locker and crawl control with selectable terrain are the only real performance differences. The TRD interior is nice but not needed.

[@Offshore1977]

Rooster also available kdss on TRD OR only

[@bassage13]

I hated the idea of a push button shifter for 4WD. I got the Off Road for that and the locker, not the premium. The extra junk on the premium is worthless to me.
