The ❤️Good & 😡Very Bad Just purchased a 2021 4Runner Limited, Blizzard White, Black leather, 3rd row seats, auto running boards, Vin JTEKU5JR0M5858032 had 11 miles purchased last week, 300 miles to date: Our 4th 4Runner The ❤️Good & 😡Very Bad, Positive ❤️Full time 4WD 3 modes: 1)4WD Hard Surfaces, advanced full time 4WD 2)4WD Transfer Case Lock HIGH GEAR: Loose surfaces ONLY: Mud, dirt, snow, ice, sand (NOTE: can lock on the fly at any speeds, wheels straight) 3)4WD Transfer Case Lock LOW GEAR: For MAX Traction Loose surfaces ONLY: Mud, dirt, snow, ice, sand This mode also has Selectable 1)Advanced Traction Control Selector 2)Down Hill Control Selector NOTE: vehicle must be stopped, wheels straight, brakes depressed, in Neutral) ❤️Good Trunk Space ❤️Awesome suspension & drivetrain on Highway driving; corners and cross winds. Living in Colorado Springs going up NORAD Road on Cheyenne Mountain every day handles better than our Lexus RX450h. No experience yet with off road, and on road snow and ice. Will update when experienced. Our Prior 2005 4Runner had same type of full time 4WD system & suspension. The 2021 Limited definitely has a more refined and updated version. We do miss the superior fuel economy and performance of our 2005 4Runners 32v V8, comfort of front seats and significant higher overall initial quality. ❤️Safety Technology Nice Updates, will report as we get more experience with. Major Unacceptable Initial Quality Issues & Design Flaws: 👎1)JBL15 Speaker Premium Sound System, sounds like every speaker is fried regardless of settings, No surround sound setting, did they install the correct main unit? Is the amp nit working? Our 2005 sound system is superior and as a sound and recording engineer the sound quality is totally unacceptable. Reported issue to JBL case number 07156115. 👎2)INTERIOR LIGHTS Huge SAFETY Problems: -😡2nd row passenger overhead light a total joke, way too dim and no passenger reading lights. -😡No 3rd Row overhead lights or floor lights, trip hazard at night when getting in & out of 3rd row seats. (My Parents 1977 Ford station wagon 2nd & 3rd row jump seats had superior overhead lighting with individual reading lights!) -😡No backlighting for mirrors or dash dimmer switches, huge safety problem at night trying to find switches -😡Poor backlighting on window & lock switches and door handles etc. Way too dim and some only partially light up. Unacceptable. 👎3)Front Parking Sensors -😡No adjustment for distance -😡No Front Parking Center Sensors, totally dysfunctional, unacceptable, worthless. Parking behind a pickup with a hitch and ball and another parking instance of a low center post revealed this design functionality flaw when parking For the front end of the vehicle. The cost for the additional front center parking sensors is insignificant on a $52,000 vehicle. What are we missing here?? 👎4)Missing Top Windshield Tinting 👎5)Missing Front USB Charging Port (can’t locate 2nd front USB charging port, as advertised “2 front USB ports, on for audio input/charging and the other charging”) 👎6)Defective Driver Side Headlight Huge shadowy spots, likely some of the LEDs are not working or debris in lens or design flaw 👎7)Fog Lights Beam aimed too low & does not have enough depth or width. Clearly from the parts bins, appear to be from our Lexus RX450h! 👎8)Front Seats Quality & functionality -😡Drivers seat has bizarre quality defect side dip in bottom center padding/springs. -🙁Passenger seat no lumbar support or height control -😡Front Seats Low quality stiff leather, lacking padding and support, unacceptable for this top of the line price point. Our 2005 4Runner we traded in with 176,000 miles has superior front seats in comfort, support, quality and overall functionality. 👎9)Automatic Running Boards -😡Squeak loudly, Rattle and Shake when extending & retracting. -😡Don’t extend low enough -😡Not wide enough -🙁Can’t install front mud flaps (The automatic running boards came with vehicle, definitely not worth the $. They are “cheap”, tinny & dysfunctional in all aspects especially for Colorado Rocky Mountain Driving in the Winter and off road. The overall unacceptable low quality & functionality of the automatic running boards detract from the vehicle at this price point.)

[@mattg8787]

why is it that my 97 4runner has the same towing capacity of 5k and the 2020 doesn't have as good gas mileage

[@eseskay99]

AT 1:39 Christina said something that triggered my memory. I use to own the first gen 4Runner 1990 and my girlfriend and I had a great time with the 2nd row seats folded down. Those were the days.

[@vpattt1619]

No offense to Jeff but I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Christina, keep up the great work!!

[@markbrown4080]

Christina should do the reviewing in a thong 😜

[@officialyasir]

Great review! Finally a review that shows all the seats folded and unfolded! Thanks! 👍

[@andyham6094]

I’ve got the sr5 with the 3rd row. Definitly comes in handy and isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I fit back there comfortably and I’m 5’9. Obviously tall people will be uncomfortable but average sized adults should be fine and definitly kids and teenagers it is perfect to just have that option of a 3rd whenever you need it.

[@FredAndersonToyota]

Great analysis! We are super glad you’re part of our channel

[@youtubeitisisntit7333]

Is Third row standard on SR5 or it is an option? Thanks.

[@JustusScottJr]

Way better than trying to fit two kids in the storage space without the 3rd row and much safer.

[@solidballs9270]

Watched it from beginning to end. Good job on the review!

Watching from east coast of Canada. Excellent review; may have convinced me to buy one. Thanks especially for the good view of the third row, nobody else seems to really offer a good visual on this.

[@weesleh]

Finally a video that explains these options. Good job and thanks.

[@kienvo]

Watching from NJ. I really prefer the 4 Runner over the Highlander which I currently own, especially the 3rd row seats and off-roading capacity! Thank you for the video. Christina does a great job!

[@Asad4589]

Watching the video from Kabul, AFG. I love 4Runner and have been driving it for 8 years now. A lovely and trusty piece of work by TOYOTA.

[@jamesmcentee6810]

The spokesperson knows the in's and out's of the 4 runner and explains it in a real-world way. Good Job. Those points were def one of the reasons I bought my 2020 SR5P Xp slide out... not because my wife loves Jimmy, Buffett. LOL good job Spokesperson. Insider info is the best! Keep up the tips and tricks

[@cccouple914]

Perfect video and great comparison as I have been holding off trying to figure out the cargo loss going from the Sliding Deck to the 3rd row! More dealers should do this!

[@JustusScottJr]

This was the review I was looking for. Wasn't sure how the 3rd row was going to be to sit on for my kids. Thank you for taking the time to show someone actually sitting in them.

[@iforgettolikegoodvideosony5929]

I have a 2015 Trail edition. It is an amazing SUV. I love it, just hate how it eats gas. And I take it camping from time to time, and I am amazed by how well I fit in the back with the seats down being 6' 3"

[@HanifBarnwell]

Thx for this I had no idea I had the option of 3rd row seating.

[@dbdmoney]

Watching from Fort Myers FL. Loved my 3rd gen and love my 5th gen even more.

[@swaemy]

Watching from Minnesota. I like the design of the 3rd row. I would probably choose it for flexibility. You don't need it, until you need it. Good job on the video.

[@trunksviper6583]

good looking 4runners I pick the red one. I'm from San Antonio TX. and thanks to beautiful Christina for showing us the sits and cargo accommodation

[@Aluminio258]

Watching from Puerto Rico; nice job on describing the details.

[@danielmartz3145]

Thanks for the great video! I've been looking for a comparison between the different rear cargo options, and this is great! I wish the floor were level with the second row on the models without a cargo tray or third row seats, or maybe offer a built in storage bin under the floor instead of the tray.

[@trinigal5144]

Yeah, the trays in the back have the potential of looking messy. I would prefer a storage bin under the floor.

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Great job Christina. A little nervous at the start of video but only natural. I could not make a video with this quality. 4 Runner not really in my future:(. Watching from Westchester Co. New York. I think I like the night shade. Great job. Let's Go Places:)

[@lilzacheus]

I’m watching from the dc area. I have a 2018 sr5 WITH third row seats and running boards. I love it.

Excellent review Christina...from Montreal, Canada ! ☺️👍

[@JG-dx1ud]

Hi Christina ! Watching from Asheville where I’m part of the family plan ! Lol. Recently traded my 2019 Taco for a 2021 4Runner TRD off-road in classic silver. Best package available in the 4Runner so far. I’d say it’s the best SUV available anywhere! I even owned a late model Rover (LR2 HSE) that can’t touch this! No contest -game over

[@mtbbiker6401]

Wow. Great video! Exactly the information I was looking for. The 3rd row seating option seems sort of bulky to me. I wonder why the 3rd row seating is not an option with the TRD models?

[@DJSlimzilla]

Just traded my 18 TRD OR TACOMA for a 21 SR5 4Runner and couldn’t be happier. My family fits great now. BTW the led headlights are so much nicer than the older style I had on the Tacoma. Can’t wait to get it out to OBX this spring.

Great video, thanks. The question is what is the length and width of the cargo area with all seats folded down. I like to go camping and wonder if I will fit comfotrably (using a matress of cource) . I can see 7-seater is transformed for more overall sleeping length but don't know the exact length. Thanks

I will definitely go for the 3rd rows seat, more space for future.

Hey, watching from Sierra leone.i love all of them ❣️

[@anthonyrosa5006]

I love my Voodoo Blue TRD Pro. Rock solid dependable as every Toyota I have had. My last was a 2005 Japanese domestic Scion XB that my Daughter has. I keep a large cooler for meat and frozen gods and some milk crate type bins for the groceries and tie downs/ First aid and off road gear.

[@thewarnerCHANNEL]

PA state! damn I love 4runners. very VERY beautiful trucks. Toyota definitely considered everything and did there best to please the customers. everything is well thought out. even older models, may not have fancy touch screens but there's more features then the newer trucks today

[@crimescene08]

Wish the trd pro had 3rd row I'd look into getting one as my lease is up in August 2021

[@shb9641]

One thing you didn't show is that some of the seats slide back to alow more leg room in the second row. Also the second row seats also recline back a little bit. The last 4 runner you showed the seats are offset in the second row and one side of the seat is back further than the other. There are handles under the second row ro allow the seat to slide back

[@cdb5662]

Excellent! Great video. Awesome hostess. More please.

Actually you can make the rear complete flat by lifting the passenger bottom seats towards the front, which allows the passenger rear back rest to go into the what was the cushion seats. Not sure if that makes sense.
