Just bought a 2024 TRD OFF Road Premium Silver Metallic, with 7 Miles & With Off Road Tires and The ride height is taller! Love It !! This is a family Keeper for a long time maybe next year I’ll buy another 2 more 2024 of the same Models & Trim, just To have orange & Blue. I wish the FJ was back for One Last Go of Its V6. Great Video 👌🏼 ( Family & I agree more with Reliability other Then Status Looks, We feel Better in a reliable Car then a luxury one that will depreciate The Next hour 30k less) Living a simple life Runs longer In a positive for your Health then & over Materialistic, Let me show off my benz,BMW, Audi etc. Just my thinking, People gotta mature to realize this Truth, Not many will tho. 🧠

Well done! Better than any breakdown I've seen. All on the table for me to choose which trim model meets me and my family needs. For me, I don't off road at all, I just want reliability, comfort with all the bells and whistles. so it will be the Limited if price point is not an issue. But for the best value, I'll go with the SR5 Premium and adding on Running Boards, Power Moon roof and that sliding cargo rear deck. Ice Cap with Sand Beige Interior.

An opportunity came about 3 weeks ago to possibly purchase a 2024 4 runner at a reasonable price, but had no clue which model had what, thanks to this video I was able to figure out which model would suit me best & will be picking up a new 2024 TRD off road premium Barcelona red on Monday. Once again, thank you very much!!

[@Gusto9876]

I can echo the others on how this is a great video. One note- The text for the features on the SR5 Premium, is the text for the SR5, so the features don't match what you are saying verbally. The TRD Off Road Premium, has heated seats too. Thanks for the video!

[@bellboy7286]

Awesome video. QUESTION: can you add 3rd row seating with TRD PRO?

Unfortunately, no. Third row is not offered on TRD Offroad, Offroad Premium, or TRD Pro. I guess they have to make room for the extra off-road goods. Thanks!

Well done review. Been in a 1997 Limited 4x4 in white since 2000. It has been an awesome vehicle. About time to start trade'n cars (🤮). With the way / number of the different levels are, ya need a spread sheet and /or a flow chart to keep it all straight. I hate it but it's time to man up to a TRD Pro! Prices are are just stupid.

[@toptrims]

There should be some deals to be had on them, as sales are slowing with the expectation of an all new 4Runner coming soon. Best of luck!

[@trevor2526]

TRD ORP over a PRO all day. Spend the money on some Camburg arms and 2.5 Kings. You’re still money ahead, have better suspension, and can do a BMC with some 285/295’s. I’m not a fan of the big roof rack on the PRO either.

[@christophercalceta7718]

I recently bought the 2024 Pro in the Terra color. It was hard to come by so I made no fuss about the mark-up. Its unique in that the tone changes with lighting, from a warm burgundy to a bright copper. It's amazing. Like was said... you get it because it's something special and what it can do. I had a 2020 Blazer before. I loved the tech. GM does a great job in this department however, I couldn't see myself keeping this car long-term regardless of the comfort, which meant comfort and the upgraded tech wasn't that important. Reliability is. In my opinion, If you don't own a 5th generation 4 Runner, might be missing out on what could be the last greatest Toyota of all time.

[@toptrims]

Very well said, a very special vehicle and truly the last of its kind in the current generation. I’m sure the next one will be great in its own right, but without the charm and simplicity. Thanks for the comment and congrats on an awesome ride!

[@michaelr.l.militia8921]

2024 4Runner... TRD Off Road Premium vs. TRD Pro... New Year's Eve 2023 went to dealership to check how Flat The Cargo Area Is w/o the Sliding Rear Cargo Tray... It's NOT Flat... Not Flat At All! Well, That's That! Originally, looking for TRD OFP w/ Premium Package, Moonroof, Sliding Rear Cargo Tray AND KDSS in Underground approx. US$50,000... They Had One...But NO MOONROOF... SOL! then an Ice Cap TRD Pro caught my eye... Checked It Out... Not Bad, Not Bad at All... Its Now or Never, Last Of The Mohicans 5th Generation... Don't TRUST THE RELIABILITY of the forthcoming 2025 6th Gen... it's the Luddite In Me...! DECIDED TO BUY IT...! A Genuine TRD Pro not the TRD ORP Faux...! It is the Sales Tax and Vehicle Registration that Puts You Over the Top! Wish California Had Zero/0% Percent Sales Tax like Oregon... The Asking for the TRD Pro was a base msrp $54,920 + 2,569 dealer/port prep install, delivery... And a 5,000 Dealer GOUGE MarkUp! The Negotiation: Immediate 1,995 discount Without Asking...? then I said I'd "thinkabout it..." Went Home, measured height of my garage... Hah! Salesman called next morning... went to dealership, measured height of TRD Pro WITH That Useless Roof Basket... It Cleared... Barely. Then I literally took a " 'Round the Block" test drive and I said... "Cut 1,500 more off the MarkUp or Counter Offer and You've Got a Deal...!" They accepted my Offer... No Counter Offer! So I paid MSRP 54,920, + 1,574 install, prep & delivery + 2,500 MarkUp, down from 5,000 pure cash gouge Dealer MarkUp...! 5,921.31 was CA Sales Tax and DMV Registration... I paid All Cash, No Financing. I think that because it was 31 December 2023, New Year's Eve, they were trying to make they're End of Year Toyota Allocation Cut... I Hope They Did... Another SR5 also sold that day... Anyway that's my Story 'an I'm Sticking to It. Happy New Year! Happy Trails...! Gung Fu Cowboy San Francisco Chinatown

I’m scared for what they’ll do to the gen 6 models. I’m afraid they’re going to ruin them and put some 4 cylinder hybrid mechanical nightmare in it. 😬

[@toptrims]

Based on the new Tundra and Tacoma I think you are spot on. I guess we will see…

[@vickithomas179]

I just ordered and bought a new 2024 Toyota 4Runner limited with every single option available sliding rear cargo deck camera, 4 x 4 ice white it’s my second forerunner and I’ll never trade it in. I have to warn everybody 2024 is the last year of the V6 engine. They put a four-cylinder turbo but a four-cylinder out of it which of course make it wear out quicker cause you’ll run the guts out of it and who knows what you’re gonna find, what you want you better get it now my friends

[@toptrims]

Congrats on the new ride!

[@rand0mGT]

If trd pro is the most off road capable or most off road built, how come it isn’t all time 4wd? Isn’t all time 4wd best for off road than 2 rear drive?

[@toptrims]

All models are available with part time 4wd, except the limited which is full time. That’s a great question as the full time 4wd system could arguably be better. The only biggest benefit for part time 4wd is the ability for the driver to choose which mode is best for current conditions, while the full time 4wd system keeps the driver more out of the equation

[@thogan]

I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner and the ride on rough dirt roads is terrible compared to Subaru Outback or Chevy Tahoe. Has the ride improved on the 2024 4Runner and which trim has the least punishing ride on rough dirt roads?

[@toptrims]

Hard to say for sure, but most newer cars should have a better ride in comparison

[@toptrims]

Based on other comments here, it sounds like TRD Off-Road is the best bet for ride on rough roads

[@eyesea123]

White Pro all the way. Mods: GOBI ladder, lift, tint, Pedal Commander, and a plug and play for music videos etc. It would be nice if they offered dual climate control on cheaper trim packages. I do prefer the upgraded interior on the Pro too.

[@toptrims]

That sounds like a sweet ride!

Limited for all non off-roaders 🎉

[@lisadunivan6268]

I’m just looking to drive mostly around town and on Hwy. But I want basically all the bells and whistles. Mainly heated and ventilation seats, moon roof, heated steering wheel and automatic running boards and Leather seats. I have been looking at all the models. But the more videos I watch the more I get confused. I like the beefy look and style of the SR5 premium/ the trd premium. But I think the limited has most of the features I’m looking for. What do you recommend please? Btw great video! I look forward to your opinions.

[@toptrims]

Limited will definitely have the most features you are looking for, but you’d more than likely have to go with aftermarket parts to get a more aggressive look. TRD Offroad Premium will be most well equipped with the looks you like short of the TRD Pro. It sounds like the Limited would give you the best experience for what you are looking for, and you could always add some more offroad type wheels/tires/accessories down the road.

[@lisadunivan6268]

[@toptrims]

Very cool colors. Thanks for the comment!

[@pinoyrunningpenguin]

What is the difference between part-time and full time 4wd?

[@toptrims]

Part time 4wd has to be controlled by the driver, meaning you’ll be in 2wd until you switch the vehicle into 4wd. Full time 4wd works automatically to engage when it’s needed

[@pinoyrunningpenguin]

@@toptrims so full time 4wd is same as AWD ?

[@megatuanis]

Also, what's the difference between all-wheel drive (AWD) and 4-wheel drive?

[@toptrims]

The difference lies in the operation of the system. Generally speaking, 4wd will have a transfer case while AWD utilizes a center differential. The differential allows greater variance of power sent to each wheel. Full time 4wd is still a more “traditional” 4x4 system that will engage or disengage automatically (think on/off) while AWD will constantly change

[@toptrims]

AWD generally has a center differential and will alter the power sent to each axle while 4wd utilizes a transfer case and is either on or off or will automatically switch between 2wd and 4wd in the case of full time 4wd. AWD is generally better for on road grip and more slippery situations but not as good as traditional 4x4 in tougher off road situations

[@christophershelton7272]

Have 2023 ORP in Lime Rush, already tweaked out and above the Pro model. Still the best off-road vehicle you can buy. But beware of upgrade fever, it's a real disease 😂
