I was just going to ask why not the RAV4 and CRV... Although IMO the 2010+ CRV's are made the same as the older ones (the first and second gen ones from about 98 to 2006). Those I feel were the good years for the CRV. I know a few people who have the newer CRvs and two of them sold them around 100k because they started experiencing problems, one was a transmission issue that even the dealer couldn't figure out).

I bought a '99 4Runner w 300k for 2 grand. Southern truck, no rust. Replaced the tired springs and installed Bilsteins. It's built like a tank. Only failure was a fuel pump, and that happens with any vehicle. Runs clean and smooth like a Swiss watch. Best value vehicle I've ever owned.

[@69in89]

When I was a kid, I was involved in a wreck where we tumbled 150 feet into a ravine in the San Bernardino county mountains and when it finally stopped, we were upside down. We got out through the windshield with nothing but a seatbelt rash - no cuts, bruises, or broken bones. Not even a trip to the hospital. Why? Because we were in a 3rd gen 4runner. I've wanted one of these ever since.

[@modernarchive7502]

I walked away from an upright, running and fully drivable vehicle after it hit black ice on the interstate in Oregon. It had slid across 2 lanes into a concrete wall at about 55 mph, flipped onto its roof, slid all the way across 4 lanes, hit a concrete median , flipped onto the tires and came to a stop in the left shoulder in the condition I described. And, also facing the right way and with my cassette tape playing/. Why aren't I dead, you ask. Because: lap belt, in use + roll bar + the of bones of the bone-solid '77 FJ-40.

[@jessdmess7645]

4 runner saved my life when I was 22. It was totaled and banged up to all hell, when people saw photos of the wreck no one could believe I had survived. Went over the guardrail and the 4 runner flipped more than 3 times before I blacked out from hitting my head during the 3rd roll down the embankment. I walked away with a fractured sacrum, fractured upper spine, reconstructive surgery on my face from the windshield glass cutting into my neck and chin, but I was alive! No way I would have survived that same wreck had I been in a cheaply made tin. This was a late 90's 4 runner.

[@BillyOrBobbyOrSomething]

I fell out of a cloud, bounced off the top of a car dealership head first, landed on a 4-Runner and broke 7 of my legs as my brain fell out and my skin turned into charred paper. The 4 Runner saved my life 🙏

@@user-bh3so1wo6t a lot of people are spooked by the milage on the odometer especially when it's over 200,000 miles but don't be worried as it's how well the previous owner took care of it and whether they used it or abused it and the preventive maintenance done or not done not how many miles driven. New vehicles if you notice are warrantied up to 5 years or 100,000 miles the 5 years is the loan or lease period and the 100,000 miles is the break-in period from new 0 miles so after break-in period the milage is your true wear and tear.

Snapped the timing belt in a 2005 Lexus RX330 (200K miles) , had it towed to my mechanic , $900 later : runs just like it did when I bought it,....... smooth. The only reason the belt needed replacement was because the previous owner had a NAPA substitute installed and it only lasted about 75K miles . These cars are serious value if bought at a reasonable price.

I had a 2010 dodge journey until Feb 2023. It had 166000km and everything just started dieing and decided that was enough. Front stabilizer bar was going, a rear toe link broke completely (that was a fun experience) and there was something with the engine that was going and was preventing me from going more than 80kms/hr.

[@marcmarini6365]

Scotty makes a great point about oil changes. My experience is do not take your car to these quick change places. If you don't believe me just watch the undercover videos of these places claiming to perform flushes and other nonsence, which they never do but charge for. Do it yourself or take it to a reputable dealer or better yet, an Independent shop.

[@sharonoddlyenough]

I have a quick change place that I go to regularly. I was putting over 1000km on my vehicle every week, so I was there about once a month. At that interval, I was fine with the risk. As a regular customer, I built up a relationship, and I felt good about the service. If I had to change my own oil, it would rarely get done, even though it would cost much less, and my work hours rarely matched up with appointment places.

[@Robert-ff9wf]

Its true what Scotty says, learn to change your own oil. When I was young I worked at a gas station. Pumping gas and helping out the mechanic with oil changes. He asked one kid working their to change the oil on a car thincking he could do it. He replaced the filter and put the measured oil in. Back then cars took 6 quartes for the most part. Started it up and Oil started leaking out all over, he never drained the old oil! Nuckle head!

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

I really like this video on comparing the different older suvs. Scotty you need to do more videos like this comparing different vehicles back to back. This makes a great video. Really gives me insight on Toyota versus american-made vehicles. I've had Chevy trucks a 2009 2500 Silverado had nothing but transmission problems and then I also got a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500 for personal use and then it also had a transmission problem. The 2011 after I got it had an issue but ever since then it hasn't had any problems and here we are in 2021 it only has 48,000 mi. But generally I have lost hope in American made trucks and I did have a 1991 Toyota 4Runner at one point and it was lifted and I guess it was a 3.0L 6 cylinder. With that v6 lifted and I was running 33 BF Goodrich mud terrains on there and pulling a 6x10 trailer with quads on it I had no problem getting up hills with that thing. it had a pretty slow take off when you going on to a freeway on ramp with a trailer fully loaded and the rear end fully loaded inside with with stuff but I never had any issues with that 4runner.. I think when I buy another truck I'm going to go back to buying a Toyota again. It's really nice to see that Toyota and Honda and Lexus and all these Japanese manufacturers have over the test of time proven that their vehicles are reliable just from this video. Good job Scotty for making this video very helpful. 👍

[@Slickpete83]

*CORRECTION* the Honda Pilots came in FWD & 4WD drive and not RWD !!! Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels.

[@EchoTangoSuitcase]

I have a 2008 Pilot, which in my opinion was it's best year. More importantly, it's got a little under a quarter million miles on it and all of ever done with it is get it serviced when the Maintenance Minder tells me to. It's still in great shape and I expect EASILY another 100,000 miles on it, probably a lot more.

[@andrewdugan6705]

Have you done timing belt and such or just oil changes?

[@EchoTangoSuitcase]

@@andrewdugan6705 - I've gone by the book, so when the Maintenance Minder codes come on, I do what the owners manual tells me. So, yes, oil changes, as well as transmission, VTM and other fluids. Oil, obviously. And yes, I've done the timing belt twice. Also, when the timing belt is done, there are other maintenance items you can do, so I do them, because then it's just about part. Or rather, the mechanic does them for me. I had a motor on one of the two radiator fans go bad last summer, and I replace both fan assemblies, because it was too easy and cheap to not just do them both in one shot.
