We bought a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander late last year. It was a $50k plus car. It has a 4 cylinder turbo engine. Coming from a 2019 Acura MDX we immediately felt the difference in power. The Grand Highlander was loud and felt under powered for the size of the car. The hood wobbled even when stationary at a stop light. All this to say that it is possible they are cutting corners like this on the new Forerunner. More than likely, you’re gonna feel the engine struggling and loud. I wound up trading the Grand Highlander for an Acura 2024 MDX and am much happier.

[@edmlegend7224]

Test drove a new landcruiser and felt the exact same way. The 4 cylinder felt loud and does not compare to my current 2021 gx460.

@@edmlegend7224 Second this - there is no 4cyl turbo-charged engine that will not be loud, noisy and I am talking about a really bad sound of a noise - and of course the struggle to deliver power. Toyota really made a wrong decision to install that crap across almost all of their vehicles.

Agree, wife and I came from a 2020 Highlander and had a 2024 Grand Highlander Limited AWD for one year.

@@antoniocognato5023 yup. the hybrid max makes the exact same power. i know back in the day Toyota offered the same 4.7 V8 on all their trucks, but the prices didn’t overlap like they are now

[@TheRooster1122]

Maybe it’s time to trade in my 2015 4Runner Limited 4+4 but” I just now turned a mere 12,000 miles on it… And that’s no Bubba, never seen snow and, still has the manufacture decals on its frame yet…. Cleanest 2015 you’ll ever see……

[@desertraider8628]

Keep it , these new runners engine sucks

[@02hreblue30]

Why did you buy it then? Waste

[@Letsberealish]

I'm glad the front was changed so it doesn't look like it's crying, like the Tundra and Tacomas do.

[@Passatmaniac]

According to the official Toyota website, this trim is just over 62k not 50k. What am I missing?

[@dejonbuick6070]

Hey, Joe good looking SUV, however it probably needs a v6 engine 😊😊😊.

[@RaitisRides]

You're right it is missing something

[@lanaofficiel4042]

You got that RIGHT!!!

[@Cortezuma]

I’m so glad I have a 5th gen 4Runner with low miles. Maybe they’ll get it right on the 7th or 8th gen and I can trade it.

[@samgonzalez3557]

I see they have running boards right

[@ColeDunstan]

Nice SUV Joe! Can you do a video on the new Tesla Model 3 refreshed model? I'm thinking about getting it but I would love to see your review on it Joe.

[@utubetjc]

You need to find a different site for that woke vehicle.

[@RaitisRides]

I will get that together for you

[@ColeDunstan]

@@RaitisRides Thanks Joe!

[@alphaofalphas8121]

No thank you. Long term 4Runner guy, I currently have my 5 Gen, love it, was exited to buy this new gen, the answer is NO. NOT BUYING A 4 CYLINDER LIBERAL APPEALING PROBLEM.

[@BeatJourneyD]

Well, this is a boring looking vehicle, overpriced, plastic, plastic, plastic, under powered and these companies need to STOP putting 20+ inch wheels on 4x4 vehicles. 18 inch should be the max and they should have TRUCK tires on them, not car tires.

[@davidpeters9343]

That new 4 runner is super nice and i love the color of this one and the interior is sweet too and oh man i cant wait for you to be able to drive one of the mew 4 runners if i could afford this one i definitely would get one. Anyways thanks for sharing keep up the great work take care god bless see ya on the next one

[@SS-wm1wy]

4runner ain't the forerunner anymore.😢

[@RaitisRides]

I guess it depends on how you look at it

[@kayr3487]

I agree...this is not the legendary 4runner that people loved...but let's see

[@nancyclark8503]

Styling is gorgeous, but no v6. I’ll keep my reliable 5 th gen.

[@zonkar]

50K and you don’t even get real leather?

[@RaitisRides]

Not at all

[@kayr3487]

This is 63K not 50K as mentioned in the video!

[@zonkar]

@@kayr3487 63k and plastic seats….

[@tampaguy6370]

Joe there’s no way you’re getting a 4 Runner hybrid for 50 grand from from Toyota.

[@kinghill500]

Nice

[@RaitisRides]

I’m glad you approve of this one

[@310chris18]

Def going need ppf on the front with gloss black bumper.
