5 Reasons Why I Bought A Used Toyota 4Runner!

[@ImportRacer4Life]

4Runners are definitely the top dog in the suv world right now. Nice ride man

[@jacobdavis175]

just bought mine. '22 limited with 15K miles. Truly bulletproof and can't wait to take it over 250K miles.

[@paulschmidt2139]

Buying one this weekend for all the reasons you mentioned. Thanks for the video!

[@steved0603]

Thank you for the video! I've had several 4Runners and Toyota pickups. My wife and I are going to look at almost your exact truck tomorrow. 2016 silver with 183,000 mi on it. Mileage is a little high, but it's one owner with an impeccable maintenance history and no accidents, no corrosion (lifelong Southern vehicle), or major mechanical failures.

[@NCblue95]

I've been looking online for used 4runners from 2019-2023 and they are all selling anywhere from 36,000-55,000 dollars lol... I know the resale is strong but some of these 4runners are selling with 30-40k miles for 2,000-3,000 less than brand new 4runner which makes no sense on to why I would buy used unless I go for a much higher mileage 4runner but in that price range I'm trying to stay under 40k miles on a used 4runner.

[@clownfish7776]

I understand you completely, but the thing is that many of the Toyota dealers are selling their cars at a substantial mark up, in some cases, as high as $8-$9K above the MSRP.

[@doublesharp5795]

buy new if the spread is that close - no brainer

[@bearrally888]

I just bought a 2023 off-road premium for 49k included tax and registration.

[@NCblue95]

@@bearrally888 did you get a discount on it?

[@bearrally888]

@@NCblue95 well, I have been trying to get it for last 2 years, but I can’t get myself to pay MSRP +. Haha, when I got to this dealer and I saw around ten 4Runner on their lot and I offer them 49k including tax and registration. they said no and I walked. 4 hours later, they called and told me to come back and pick it up. So check around or drive a little further out. Smaller Toyota dealers seem to be easier to negotiate if they still have 2023 on their lot. Good luck. I think it is a good strategy as we are almost to 2024 and they should be getting rid of 2023. This is my 2nd 4Runner. I bought the 2014 used. It runs perfect, but my wife made me giving it to my son. 😭😭😭

[@kayrbeats]

I subscribed to your channel almost 4 years ago, when I had a gti, i sold mine in March 2021, got a 2017 4Runner in July 2021. Great choice!

[@Russellscottx]

haha that's wild! Thanks for hanging around I really appreciate it

[@erikgrobelny6478]

@@Russellscottx I've currently got a '17 GTI SE, looking to sell and get a '14+ 4Runner since I now live at the beach and the fam and I are doing a lot more fishing, camping, etc. If the GTI could drive on the sand and tow a boat, I would keep it. Best interior ever. What did you get your '16 4Runner for? I'd like to stay around $20k if possible. Feels crazy to spend over $20k on a vehicle with 100k+ miles. Also, what were you able to get for your GTI? Thanks for the info, if you see this!

[@rickseifert9040]

I got a clean southern 2011 with less than 100k and I love it.

[@oscarlevipaguada]

Welcome to the Toyota family. I have a v8 2008 4runner with 204k

[@branzfactor81]

I too have an 08! 165,000 miles and runs like new! Won’t be getting rid of it anytime soon

[@rand0mGT]

Congrats man! You won’t regret it! Sadly looks like 2024 will be last year of the 5th gen

[@cheezr323]

In Feb, I purchased a 2010 limited 4wd it had 220k with a bunch of upgrades, trd steps 3 inch lift, weather proof floor liners, off road shield underneath, rear door ladder and rear windows molle panels for hanging stuff, ko2 tires with fuel off road rims, i almost replaced all the fluids all i have left is the brake fluid and center locking diff fluid, I also rebuilt the front axle boots, its a great vehicle and haven't had any issues with it 🤞, I paid 15k

[@chewminem2044]

Yeah same. You can buy a 4runner with good maintenance record, accident report, check for noise and rust and you’re good to go if you do your inspections.

[@noctilucent7396]

I have a 2015 4runner 4x4 sr5 premium with zero rust in Texas, im thinking about selling it and getting a LC only vechile I'd upgrade to. 4Rs are amazing

[@Howard-dv4vo]

Bought a 2016 new. Changed out the trans fluid. Same for front/rear Dif and transfer case fluid. Change oil, Mobil 1. 5W-30 every 3k miles. About 80k total miles. 4Runner will outlast me at my age. Possibly one of the best SUVs ever made. Mine was manufactured in Japan.

[@steved0603]

They're ALL made in Japan, which is the beauty of it. Top notch meticulous manufacturing the Toyota way! Thankfully every Toyota and Lexus we have is made in Japan and the reliability has been amazing.

[@senseicorey9979]

I bought a 2013 with 130k on it , solid as hell. Just took it for a 300 mile road trip, didn't skip a beat.

[@zezu4775]

I agree with your review, beside 4 Runners are a Excellent SUV “ Except the Roth Frame” in some States because the Salt on roads on winter Time. The Back Window option is also very Useful .. Like Jeeps Stops make with Back Window in 2010 with Gr Cherokees. So Some People Stop by JGC because they don’t have this option any more.. Too Bad for Jeep Co. To Save a Buck,Lose Customers..

[@Bacctothebasics]

I’m not sure if you ever made a video talking about the wheel and tire set up. I really like the look & would like to maybe replicate it. What are the specs on those tires & what size wheels are you running? Also is that stock ride height? Very clean look

[@RockyW78]

Just a word of caution: one of my little pit bulls fell out of the back window at 35MPH. I love my dogs and never let them ride in the back of my pickup because I know how dangerous that is. But my 4Runner really caught me off guard. My boy came out of it with just a few scratches, but if another car would have been behind me I don’t think we would have been so lucky. Your truck looks great by the way. Best wishes.

[@harishrp4449]

just tie the neck using a rope to the gear knob

[@favorite3424]

Glad ur pup is ok.

[@robertsneed3]

Nice review. Is yours a four-wheel drive or Two-wheel drive. I'm going to get me a 4Runner myself they are very good reliable vehicles

[@established_1803]

I got my 2019 wrx new and loved it for a year or so cause I was in my early 20s still gotta sell it to pay for my down payment on my much better 4Runner. Its way more comfortable and I can legit get 21mpg if I wanted to but idgaf I love it more than banging gears

[@JalalKhan-mm3pv]

I live in the UK and there are zero 4runners, I own a 2010 SR5 in Afghanistan and I have checked every available car sales platform and cannot find one😢😢😢

[@darinnmammeli3639]

Nice ride bro. What brand of wheels & tires do you have on there?

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

Bro hes so right the look on people's face when i drive my 4runner in traffic with back window half way down is nothing short but envy and jealousy 😅.u want a vehicle just for looks and will start slipping at 100k u get a BWW or Benz.u want a vehicle that will last even your grand kids will be driving in style U GET A TOYOTA 4RUNNER😊

[@Rackzify]

Debating on a 4Runner or a Tacoma for my next vehicle

[@OnlyPanss]

I got my 1999 4Runner for 2k in 2023. I love it

[@RANDOMPEPSIBOTTLES]

What's the mileage? About to get a 2016

[@GarryMurray-i1y]

Titan has a full sliding rear window up to 2015 anyway

[@tonygarcia5729]

I just bought the SR5 STOCK. My son is making me feel bad for not buying the TRD.Did I do the right thing?

[@jeffnaval4894]

i would do the same thing. when you get enough money you can upgrade and get those TRD pro parts.

[@JOIHIINI]

Lol if your son isn't paying for it then why should he weigh in? The TRD is also less comfortable. Unless u offroad regularly what's the point? If u don't it's just forking over another ten+ grand for a status symbol

[@rickyaz8640]

Add wheels and update the shocks it’s the same as an off road. Being a good driver will make up for the crawl control/ 4 wheeler equipment

[@steved0603]

​@@JOIHIINIagreed. I was in the same conundrum and I realized mine was going to be more of a daily driver for myself and the family, so I wanted the comfort and convenience of just the standard four-wheel drive. The TRD Pro is super cool, but definitely not practical for normal driving and commuting.

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

I got myself a 2014 Limited 4runner @95K from carmax for $26,998 on 4/8/2024.....its been the best decision of my life.because its been so well maintained by the previous owner,everyone thinks its a brand new 4runner i got.so far it rides like new and im always excited to get inside and drive away...to work to the supermarket to the pharmacy. Just dont call my 4runner a "Truck"...i take it as an insult....SUV

[@steved0603]

Are you kidding? It's an insult to call it an SUV. It's a huge compliment to call it a TRUCK!! I've never called any of my 4Runners anything other than trucks. And I even have a full size V8 pickup!

[@Final_Fantasy_7]

@steved0603 yeah..your right.but what makes it a "truck" ? Please educate me here.

[@thatbeardedguy87]

What did you pay and how many miles were on it when you bought it?

[@toyotaofclermont]

Awesome video!!

[@theflyingbrompton4787]

Digging the white S2000….👍

[@Russellscottx]

Good eye!

[@Justintm]

Any brake issues. Will be my daily, but have heard of weird brake issues such as sensitive break assist or difficulty stopping with very long break travel.

[@Russellscottx]

None at all for me

[@tomdoe1234]

Congrats on the truck!

[@Russellscottx]

Thanks Tom!

[@taifmunsur]

Hey, is your tires 265 or bigger? do you plan or lifting?

[@rand0mGT]

Get it while the 5th gen still available!

[@erikhanna4525]

Just bought an SR5 used with 100k miles in california, for 25k! just like you, I really want to put an after market exhuast but don't know if I should waste my time with a v6

[@JOIHIINI]

Wow so I was tryna find out if the one I'm looking at is truly a deal and I think I'm on the money! I found a 2016 sr5 with 100,000km (62000 miles) in Toronto for 29000 cad (21000 usd). Sounds like that would be good to pull the trigger on no?

[@cheezr323]

I put a flowmaster outlaw in my 4runner and it sounds aggressive AF

[@susanwise1287]

Thats what id love to find. Right in my budget

[@Shornandkenny]

This is not based on the tacoma frame lol. The 4runner is on a 4 link rear suspension and the frame is boxed. Like they have been for years.

[@Russellscottx]

awe man I thought they were the same, thanks for letting me know

[@sanjans1552]

What do you do with the old wheels and tires when you upgrade?

[@Russellscottx]

Sold them on marketplace lol

[@bri3660]

Is it worth buying a 2 owner 2011 4runner sr5 4x4 with 270k for $9500?

[@JOIHIINI]

I'd say probably not.

[@bri3660]

@@JOIHIINI Ok, Thank you for the advice! I'll contiune my search.

[@JOIHIINI]

@bri3660 could depend on where u live also. If u live in a northern state then u could be buying something with a frame that is already toast. I live in Canada and just passed on a 2010 for 10k canadian (7250 US) That had 355km on it (220k miles) cuz i couldnt inagine someone could put that much on the odometer eithout the frame being near its end. The way I see it it's better to buy one with lower mileage for more if u can sell it later for more. There's a certain point where ull end up being it's last owner before its a scrap or parts car. If u live in a southern state there's an argument in buying an older one I suppose.

[@bri3660]

@@JOIHIINI Make sense, I'm also considering an 93 4runner for (3500 us) 258k. v-6 3.0 manual , I've heard negatives about the engine

[@JOIHIINI]

@bri3660 would that be a 2nd gen? I hear 3rd gen is the best. It's also small tho. Again depends on where u live and if rust is a factor. If I lived in the states I'd search countrywide. If I found a deal I had to get a cheap flight to buy I'd sacrifice a weekend for it. 4 years ago I bought a 2015 vw beetle with 56k kms for 9500cad, my wife drove it to 98kms and sold it for 17 thousand this year. There's always deals out there, I find more often than not they're on the sites with lower traffic. The more traffic= the more competition. I can never seem to find good deals on fb marketplace anytime I do I msg within 24 hours and they're already gone lol

what are ur monthly payments? i love my 2002 tacoma and have been looking for an upgrade

central pa here. 370k miles. still runs like a champ

[@tylerreis7627]

Rwd 4 runner eh?

[@johnmycroft3065]

I picked up a 2014 with 93 thousand for 25

[@rockeye]

I know the reliability factor but why are there so many used 4Runners for sale? Why not keep them into the 200k+ mile range? Something isn’t right. There’s too much on the internet about them being bulletproof and reliable yet there are so many for sale. Why let go of something so tried and true?

[@Adam-yv5pu]

cause their wives saw the new telsa touchscreens on tiktok and the 4runner made their pussies dry up

[@johnwebb2232]

I'm thinking not everybody likes the gas mileage considering the price of gas now, and also, maybe they just want to buy new again. As for me, I love my 2016 4runner trail with kdss, and I wouldn't want anything else.

[@harambeboy]

also they made a LOT of them

[@kurtrussell5228]

People buy them when they can't afford it

[@samfisher320]

They can’t afford the payments for 7 years and 16 mpg hurts.

[@yotagirlxo]

we got the same rims lol but mines a 2wd

[@gabrielgaona2923]

can't go wrong.
