4th Gen 4Runner: 2007 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 Review

[@cjdep109]

2 years ago I bought a 04 v8 limited with 200k miles for 7k. Currently at 237k and no issues! These 4runners are amazing.

[@noahpickerill3749]

Dang dude that's insane

[@elfy_0824]

What about now? 6 years later? How’s it holding up?

[@txnhb]

I just bought an 05 v8 limited myself. 202k miles. I hope to hit 400k miles before having to look at anything else. I take pretty good care of my vehicles. Not having a payment is gonna feel great!

[@cjdep109]

@@elfy_0824 almost at 254k miles atm, check engine light came on and It was a misfire. Replaced 1 coil and spark plug and a couple weeks later another misfire. I've heard from a few mechanics that when 1 of the coil packs goes they all sorta follow so ill be replacing those. Other than that no issues

[@cjdep109]

Replaced all coil packs and spark plugs since I was there and everything is good again

[@guillermoyelamo5816]

Best T4R generation ever, in my opinion. Bought mine two years ago with 89k on the clock. SR5 4WD V6. All the vehicle you need is here. Period.

[@anthonypuozah605]

I love, love this generation of 4Runner vehicles. I wish I could own one and my life will be full of joy. Guy your review is great and worth watching. Thanks a lot.

[@akosirolandr]

Love the color of your 4runner. I just bought one for my daughter's 18th bday. A 2005 silver limited 4WD with 193K miles for $11K. Love it drives like new. SoCal car and it will keep her safe on the road. My wife drives a 2001 limited Sequoia with 223K miles and drives like new. Mine is a silver 2010 highlander with 156K miles. Love the Toyotas they are bulletproof cars.

[@madwoof3932]

I have this exact car ( except I have the V8) right down to the colour. I would never get rid of it, winter in Alberta Canada, this is the perfect vehicle. Only issue is rust on the under structure. New alternator, and battery replace every 7 years. Absolutely solid .,

[@MiguelGomez-lb2ww]

I have the same exact color 06’ SR5. I literally laughed out loud at the AC control comment “takes me a minute to figure out what I want” but yea, the biggest difference I saw between the SR5 and limited here was the leather, heated seats, and passenger AC control. Everything else is the same which just shows whichever model you go with, these things bullet proof and little tanks on wheels.

[@freedomvan2970]

I bought my ‘’06 SR5 4x4 back in 2016 as an ‘in between’ until I got a newer Tundra. After about 6 months I decided I’d drive it until it died and then get another 4Runner. Great vehicle!!

[@denton7773]

I got for sale a 2007 white 4 door 2wd clean clean. 274k miles for cheap. Wife got it in 08. Only thing we have ever had to replace is brake pads rotors and tires. That’s it.

[@spencersteele7]

That was my thought process! Sold my 2019 Tacoma for that same reason. Got into a career where I had a gap in employment so decided no payment and put cash in my pocket wasn't the worst thing. Love the adams detail, I am in cColorado now and close to the original shop. The guys are great and super helpful! Will never use anything else.

[@jaime3739]

Great looking Runner. This Gen does NOT have a locking diff though. Toyota calls this a locking center diff but it really only locks the transfer case to 50/50 front and rear drive shaft split. Front and rear diffs are open. They used an electronic braking setup to simulate diff lock. I understand these are great on pavement but less so off road.

[@sebastianromero420]

Take it off road and you will see

[@treformundth6954]

You can also swap in a fj rear axle and get the locking diff that way

[@kapkap2342]

2007 Toyota 4Runner Limited, 178,733 miles

[@noirxplorer3185]

A good head unit should always connect with steering wheel controls.

[@EcBuddy123]

I have about the same mileage on my urban runner package 4x4. Yours looks a bit better cared for though. Also you can still connect the steering wheel controls but you have to buy an added adapter. Also on none jbl versions the rear pillar speakers are mirrors to help you when parking or reversing, like old school van blind spot mirrors. Also all 4runners of these years have the hood struts. Was also interesting is brakes. You could get larger front calipers as options on limiteds (also rear air bags), sports had the larger brakes standard, sr5s had smaller ones. But on all you can upgrade to the larger calipers and even better upgrade to 5th Feb calipers that are less prone to seizing and also just a bit larger, which is what I did. Also suspension is so similar to Tacomas and 5th Gen 4runners, you can easily swap it in.

[@diveaholic42]

Thanks for the very thorough video. It’s not fancy and might not get lots of love (views/likes) but it was super helpful to me as I’m considering buying a 4Runner.

[@foskco87]

First thing you want to do to a 4th gen (besides lift and tires) is restore the headlights. 4th gen's always get hazy oxidized headlights and a quick restoration job immediately makes the vehicle look way nicer. Just remember to put some kind of UV coating over them so they stay nice.

[@82dupont]

Stock rear suspension. Put the stock trd off road front suspension from the 2019 tacoma on the front. Basically leveled the truck out to put the bigger tires on. I dont remember the exact size, was one or two sizes bigger.

How does the bass sound with that JBL system? Does it make your mirror shake?

Honestly, no. The JBL was pretty underwhelming and the rear sub from factory is weak. I’d recommend your own 10-12in sub and replacing the speakers with JL audio. Sounds much better.

Nice! For what it is in this crazy market that isnt a bad price. Only you can justify spending the money which would make it a good deal.

Hi! I’ve found a 2008 with 120k miles, super base model sr5 4x4 for $9500. Does that seem like a good deal? It’s a v6 and I was originally looking at the v8. Any thoughts on the benefits of the v6?

[@spencersteele7]

That seems to be right on the money. If it seems clean and no rust etc then I’d go forward with it, as long as that’s what you are looking for! I think the V6 had really good torque for what it is. Between towing and going through deep snow it’s been fine. Other benefit is the difference between timing belt and timing chain, you shouldn’t really need to replace the timing chain on the V6 from my understanding. I could be wrong so double check that statement. Unless you’re towing or in high elevation where you feel like you need more power get a V8, otherwise I think you’ll be very happy with the V6! Thanks for watching.

SR5 is a base model. Sport is in the middle with little more features than SR5 like X-REAS suspension, 17 to 18inch wheels, moon roof, and running boards, but limited is a fully loaded trim with all the bells and whistles. Like if you compare it to Camry trims: Camry L is just a base model, Camry SE is in the middle with little more features than L but XLE OR XSE is a fully loaded trim with all luxury features in it.
