About 14 grand difference in my town. Pros are much more expensive than Ventures here in Ontario.

[@stellantistom6881]

Joe, you should definitely show another 4runner this time, with a 3 row seating configuration (available in SR5 premium or Limited) to see if it's useable as a family SUV.

[@wedel610]

The Nightshade edition with 3rd row seating

[@daneav8]

Something I noticed regarding headroom when sitting in one at the dealer, is that although a 6' person may have "plenty of headroom" in the drivers seat, not so in the passenger seat. It sits higher than the drivers seat and does not offer vertical adjustment. (Note: this was in a TRD Pro with the sunroof which does reduce headroom somewhat). This may be important to couples that switch seats while on a road trip, or if some of your Ultimate Frisbee buds are over 6' tall and are catching a ride with you to the game

[@SpeedShift57]

Nice review. Needs LED headlights. Very nice wheel and tire combo. Simple is good. I’m the owner of an ‘06 4Runner. It’s bulletproof. I’ll sell my BMW X5 M before I get rid of my 4Runner. 🙂

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@stephendibari7704]

Speed Shift57 get rid of that bmw, they’re empty $ pits as they age with high mileage. I learned from experience with a 2013 X5 which I bought with 94k miles in July 2018. They look awesome and drive wonderful but sunk nearly $3k In only 8 months. And after not being able to sell privately, Traded it in (lost my shirt went upside down on my loan) for a 2013 Lexus ES 350 with only 30 K miles. Will never by another car/truck unless it’s a Toyota/Lexus !!

[@carpentertrim]

It’s pretty easy to pop some LED bulbs in it.

[@dragoonTT]

Toyota keeps it simple, although a redesign is needed the reliability is great.

[@RaitisRides]

AGREED!

[@Mjr1348]

The sunroof is an option. You can also get kdss which you can’t get on a pro. The trd pro is made more for higher speed running where as the Venture , trd off road is more for slower off roading. The trd pro skid plate is also an option for NON KDSS suspension optioned trucks. The 4r is a solid , reliable low tech truck. There really in no other suvs like this. Body on full frame is very rare. This is an actually a true “Sport UTILITY vehicle “.

[@mechmat12345]

FWIW, This package is basically a TRD Off Road Premium with a roof basket, wheel upgrade and some window dressing. It's an $1,815 package. TRD wheels cost $1,350 and you can buy this exact roof basket at REI (or wherever) for $450. That's $1,800. I personally would prefer to keep the TRD badging but YMMV.

[@chibbyylol]

Around where I live (southern US) I see a lot of TRD Pro 4Runners and Tacomas that are lifted with new suspension. Like..why not just get a cheaper trd off road etc and lift that instead if you're going to be replacing the suspension the TRD pro gives anyways. I guess the decals means a lot; though you can probably get them from ebay as well Some people have a lot of $$ than brain cells lol Great vid joe

[@RaitisRides]

Very good points Leon! Thanks for the compliment!

[@carpentertrim]

Resale value of the pro! Also color options

[@mechmat12345]

A lot of people who lift their vehicles don't off road anyway so they didn't care about the suspension in the first place. There are a couple of options on the TRD Pro that you just can't get on the Off Road, like the JBL sound system and automatic headlights. But most importantly, I don't understand why people care how others spend their money, if they want to pay $5,000 for the Pro badges, that's their prerogative. It doesn't make them stupid or wrong.

[@JGstunts22]

The reason to get this over the pro is you can find these for the same price as an off road premium around 43-44k vs good luck finding a pro for less than 50k they discount the venture rarely discount the PRO . And to me the extra 6k isn't worth the fox shocks . I can put a better suspension with lift aftermarket for 3k

[@wolfeyez300]

The Venture is nice. I bought one. But - it is not a winter vehicle. By that I mean: Snow - the predator steps fill up with snow and make getting in and out very messy and at times difficult; Power Windows - don’t like the cold and mine will not roll down when -20 (degrees Celsius); Rear defrost - sometimes will not work ( really annoying when snow or frost covered and of course, that means the side view mirrors won’t defrost either) so that brings forward a safety issue. I am told that by fully rolling down the rear window and back up it turns the rear defrost on (tried it, and that does work); and Brake Squeal - when cold and first few brake applications, they will squeal and squeal extremely LOUD - people will turn and look and of course, if you leave for work early, your neighbours will not like you. Other than that, it’s a nice vehicle and I can’t wait for the warmer weather to arrive so I may get to enjoy the vehicle

[@redballtrading]

In 2020 (or any year for that matter) no 4runner should have to roll down the rear window for the defrost to work. If it does, then there is truly a quirk in the electronics. Also, you gave me another reason not to get the predator steps. LOL

[@wolfeyez300]

Everyday Is Saturday It is strange - but I have to bring forward two things regarding the rear defrost (from an owner perspective): 1. It does not occur every time, but seems to when needed most; and 2. The dealership advises me that this can occur when the rear wiper does not fully set to its final position. That is true, and nor will the rear window roll down if the wiper does set properly. That makes resolving the rear defrost issue difficult if they tell me to fix it by rolling the window down and back up. Apparently this has been an issue for a few model years according to online forums when I was seeking a resolution. Oh well, maybe I should just move to a warmer climate...

[@mcc7762]

You can probably remove the steps. It looks like they are just bolted onto the chassis.

[@wolfeyez300]

MC C Absolutely correct. I do wish it came with sliders instead though, but that will be one of my future upgrades.

[@mcc7762]

@@wolfeyez300 ...I can see that. You want to protect the body of the truck. Steps or running boards on these are often unnecessary, unless you are short. 6' and over, you can pretty much hop in without any assistance.

She would probably like a crossover more anyway. The 4Runner is a Body-on-Frame truck, and though it rides better than most, it will never ride like a crossover.

The body-on-frame version of Toyota's global architecture should debut in 2021, and eventually all trucks and body on frame SUVs Toyota makes will be on that platform. That will take several years though, so the 4Runner in it's current state could plausibly be around for 3 or 4 more years. Its not certain whether Toyota will decide to update the 4Runner, replace it with something else, or cancel it completely. Toyota had previously planned to cancel the 4Runner after the 2018 model year but a spike in sales volume saved it.

Why would you give the hood scoop a whatever the silly ass name is you call it?! It is not a functional hood scoop because Toyotas are made to have a sealed engine compartment. If the hood scoop was functional it would create a vortex in the engine compartment and effect the engines ability to function in warm climates. I hope you know Toyota sells more trucks than any other manufacturer and are very common in the middle east desert, Australia, Africa, etc. Also, the starting price of a 4Runner Venture is about $44,000 and the starting price of a TRD Pro is about $51,000! I'm told they get a premium mark up in some areas, as well. The dealers will not move on the price of a TRD Pro so if you want one you will spend the full $51,000!!! I am looking to buy a 4Runner this month and was quoted $40,500 for a Venture. Considering the TRD Pro is over $10,000 more and is only equipped with some higher-end shocks, a heritage grill I can take or leave, some tires that are mediocre, an exhaust that sounds nice for the people behind you and a skid plate most people will never need I will happily hold on to my $10,000! I can add the extra heavy plate (all 4Runners have skid plates just not the fancy TRD one) better tires than the Nitto Grapplers, a cold air intake (more important than the fancy exhaust) and rock sliders all for under $2,500 I think the Venture is a much better choice.

[@erosthespacesoldier1712]

@@lucidmonkey3591 this is the problem many are having now; due to low inventory the dealers are less likely to bargain. I bought my 4Runner in July, it listed for $46,000 and I paid $40,600. You should bargain for dealer invoice minus any incentives that may be in effect at the time, they change every month. Also, I could have gotten mine for under $37,000 if I had financed. I didn't, I paid cash and dealers want you to finance because they make a percentage or two off the interest. I am in a Facebook group for 4Runners and one of the members just bought a 2021 so they are starting to arive at dealers. I honestly don't know what a good price would be on a lease but I advise against it on any car that will last 300,000 plus miles like a 4Runner. They also have a very high resale value so why hand it back in 3 years? Bottom line; if the dealer won't bargain at invoice shop around until you find one who will. Hope this helps.

Zonk! Guess what? Another Zonk! This guy is great with all his snacks, and pencil boxes. Never heard him talk about snacks before. Getting Hangry now. Gotta get me a Zonk-bar. Great stuff.

[@Stevo-xe9jw]

You know, since the hood scoop is fake, one could modify it into a mini rocket launcher. Could be handy in rush hour traffic. Master the possibilities.

[@RaitisRides]

I like the way you think.

[@swankybubbles77]

*milkshake launcher

2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, & 2020 😒😑 It must be said. Toyota has left this vehicle behind, and are appreciative for the people who keep purchasing it.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@mcc7762]

Toyota is slow to update, and tend to watch other companies make the mistakes first. People buy these, because they are so reliable.

[@devinramdihal8149]

hey Joe great video ! Toyota needs to step up and update this transmission .....it needs at less a 6 speed.......5 speed burns alot of gas on the highway :)

[@RaitisRides]

I can totally understand that Devin.

[@carpentertrim]

2500 RPM at 90 mph yesterday on the highway not terrible. It’s mostly the motor that sucks gas like a banshee. Nobody who knows anything would rather have that 3.5 out of the Tacoma though.

[@mcc7762]

It is a Body-on-frame truck that weighs close to 2-and-a-half tons, and has a high center of gravity. It is never going to get good mileage on the highway. What you spend on gas is nothing compared to how few expensive repairs you will encounter vs. other SUVs on the road today.

[@atl3630]

If you get a model that has KDSS that body roll is greatly reduced.

[@RaitisRides]

This is very true!

[@InuranusBrokoff]

Those birds just couldn't let Joe go a cappella could they?

[@RaitisRides]

This is true! LOL

[@sachemrock]

Not my type of vehicle but for the off roading enthusiasts it’s all that and a bag of chips. Go TRD Pro for the extra $2000!

[@knutkverneland9786]

Robert Balboni Easy to get to $52k+ on the TRD pro If you plan on modifying, save your money

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for the info.

[@fitz2589]

270 hp, no remote start or air cooled seats for $46k? Seems like a bit too many dated features for such a premium price. Hard to tell if it’s worth it.

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Good gawd how much water poured out of that tailpipe on the rev up

[@RaitisRides]

I know right!

[@heckiiclears8672]

She’s wet 💦

[@JJ-ls7fq]

Joe, have you ever reviewed a Land Cruiser?

[@RaitisRides]

Not yet! I will be getting that done soon.

[@JJ-ls7fq]

@@RaitisRides great! I've been hearing rumors that Toyota will stop selling the Land Cruiser in the United States in two years. Any idea if that's true, or just a rumor?

[@kburde]

Wish it came with the upgraded JBL stereo and speakers

[@Batman-wv5ng]

They should brake the black colour with bit of chrome.And the letter box on the hood looks silly .

[@RaitisRides]

This still have that on the TRD Off Road Premium.

[@edwardvalivonis23]

Joe I can see Doug DeMuro reviewing same car from other side😀

[@RaitisRides]

That would be cool!

[@sweetpotato7878]

Happy Easter

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks! Same to you! LOL

[@ivane46m33]

Wonder what colors they offer

[@westcoast708]

4 runner awesome vehicle but again what is it with all these guys no led headlights for that kinda of money it's like any car I like there is always something that is missing and that key fob dang it even looked fake lol nice one RR ....

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!

[@wedel610]

How does the venture compare to the nightshade edition?

[@thumperjr100]

Amazon Alexa? Is it google car play?

[@RaitisRides]

Not that I know.

[@wbwayne8887]

Or android auto?

[@genxiong2695]

I buy for the engine bay cup holders...

[@brooklynknightss]

This is a real truck

[@RaitisRides]

Totally agree!

[@brooklynknightss]

Awesome reliability

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@jasonmessick4689]

Wonder if they make a venture edition bike cause that’s all I’ll ever have

[@dash4786]

Fucked duel climate, screw lane departure features. Just more shit to break and pull money out of your pocket. I rather have the infotainment screen and heated seats and call it a day.

[@randomrazr]

its weird the highlander has better crash test rating then the 4runner

[@RaitisRides]

This is true.

[@mcc7762]

Different vehicle.

[@randomrazr]

@@mcc7762 ur point?

[@mcc7762]

@@randomrazr ...The Highlander is a uni-body crossover, and lower to the ground. Uni-body construction is safer in a crash. The 4Runner is a Body-on-Frame truck with a high center of gravity, so rollover crash ratings are not as good, and Body-on-Frames are never as safe in crashes anyway, because they do not have crumple zones, like a uni-body. They are different vehicles, and their crash ratings will differ. That is my point. And it is "Your."

[@randomrazr]

@@mcc7762 So if your just driving on the road and dont plan on off roading, the highlader is a safer car in ana ccident?

[@osmairycastillo6596]

Can you please do a video on the 4runner Limited

[@RaitisRides]

I will get that together for you!
