Car Review - 2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited (Fourth Generation)

Hmm, my SR5 has 17" wheels

[@jackalproductions2352]

The SR5 came standard with 6-spoke 16” aluminum alloy wheels, but they could be upgraded to a 5-spoke 17’’ wheels like you see in the video. When your vehicle was bought from the dealer the buyer probably just upgraded to them. You’re lucky though, they’re much nicer than the 16” ones!

[@TN_HondaDad]

@@jackalproductions2352 Yeah, thanks, just assumed 17" were standard. I bought mine used about 10 years ago so I guess the previous owner upgraded. Nonetheless, 17" look well IMO.

[@statesauce]

My 2004 sr5 also came with 17 inch wheels

[@quakerome4594]

As a sport sedan owner now that I have a kid I'm thinking about getting one of these. Seems like a perfect SUV for all year around.

[@jackalproductions2352]

an amazing choice, with high levels of both safety and reliability, as well as minimal depreciation, if you can get your hands on one you can’t go wrong!

[@jakejohnson1835]

Wow - love the live footage!

[@jackalproductions2352]

I know right I decided to get a little fancy with it this time

[@yotagirlxo]

I love my '04 4Runner.. been my fav car i've own to date.

Damn this editing is pretty poggers

[@jackalproductions2352]

Thanks big dog

[@blackened1031]

Hey, As you reply to comments, I got a question. What should I look for while buying a used 04 4runner that's got a suspension lift? It has 228k miles on it and the owner dictates he has done proper maintenance alongside changing tranny fluid every 40k miles. What are the odds of having one in such high mileage? I don't care about the gas mileage, I need a reliable 4wd vehicle that I count on during difficult times as I'm from Upstate NY where Blizzards are common.

[@jackalproductions2352]

i wouldn’t recommend any vehicle with such high mileage when looking for something you need to depend on. a vehicle like that is still a great buy as a recreational or secondary vehicle, but i think one that has less miles would be a better bet if you truly needed to rely on it

[@showtime4956]

Great review, is the 2004 Toyota 4Runner a worthy buy in 2024, maybe, around 84,000 miles for $12,000

[@jackalproductions2352]

if you are getting a clean 4Runner below 100k miles at that price i’d say it’s a steal!

[@nathanpak5069]

Epic!

[@jackalproductions2352]

hey thanks man

[@temohizo]

I want one so bad now

[@jackalproductions2352]

no better time to buy than now, i don’t see depreciation affecting these cars much in the future

[@DMrsAR]

What head unit do you have? nice video btw

[@jackalproductions2352]

It’s an aftermarket pioneer system that was put in by the original owner almost right after he bought it. I’m honestly not a huge fan of it

[@DMrsAR]

@@jackalproductions2352 dang for sure thanks for the info. I’m looking for a CarPlay Headunit but with the volume knob!!

[@ajpineno9113]

ok, how the hell are your seats in such good condition. My 2004 4runner limited has the same seats and they have cracks and the driver side is ripped

[@jackalproductions2352]

It has low miles, and most importantly garage kept. It’s crazy how damaging sun can be to leather

[@gaae2000]

If i buy a brand new 2022 4Runner and keep it - would still be good in 20yrs from now?

[@jackalproductions2352]

It is impossible to say for certain with new models because they are unproven, but given that the 2022 4Runner has many of the same mechanical parts that have been proven to last in earlier models, I say there is a very high probability the new 4Runners will last 20 years or beyond

[@davidaix5771]

@@jackalproductions2352 what are you talking about the 2022 have the same Motor and tranny that they've been using since 2002 Just watch the car care nut channels video on the new 4runner

[@jackalproductions2352]

@@davidaix5771 not entirely accurate, the transmission has changed since 2002. And as for the engine, though it is the same one, it has had many improvements and changes that may affect long term reliability

[@davidaix5771]

Yes the v6 they have been use for a long time They have a timing chain instead of a timing belt so just change the oil and the 5 speed transmission is ancient and they've been using that forever too

[@davidaix5771]

@@jackalproductions2352 Yeah it has had changes for the better that will increase the longevity of it

That backseat legroom is a big disappointment

[@jackalproductions2352]

It really is, it’s not the big SUV everyone seems to think/hopes it is
